Cajunrider changes steeds....

Let me be the first to announce that Mitch and Darlene (Cajunrider) have sold their Nomad and purchased a Harley Davidson Ultra Limited.

Mitch called me this morning and told me about it. I congratulate them on their new purchase. Mitch knows that he won't be a part of the staff anymore, but he has also assured me that he and Darlene are not going anywhere. They will continue to be a part of the VBA.

So, there will be some changes coming to the VBA staff lineup in the future.

Nothing wrong with sleeping with a skanky maiden. Hell, I ended up marrying one. (I think it was either #1 or #2. I can't remember.)

Ive noticed that here on the VBA guys seem to move up to the Ultras, on VROC and Delphi they seem to switch to Burgmans and Gold Wings more often.

Not sure going from a Nomad to a Harley is a move up.

Of course it is. Like moving from a Chevy to a Cadillac.

I think its like moving from a chevy to a ford. Harley has a specific product. So does kawasaki. The 2011 voyager is an amazing product. I looked at the ultra this year and I afmitt it is a nice bike. Not a harley hater. I just am more and more impressed with the voyager. The 1700 is an awsome motor. I have driven it for a year and put 14500 miles on it. Just gets better and better. The voyager is a fine bike but im sure mitch is gonna love that new Harley. Congrats Mitch! Also, whan your rolling in it, you can afford to pay 7 or 8 thousand more than you would for the Voyager. Im just sayin!

I went from a Chevy to a, well, BMW. Nothing wrong with a Cadillac though. They make nice cars.

I don't get this analogy. Both are made by Government Motors. No diff as far as I'm concerned.
