The story of "Paladin".......

Three years ago, I sold my 1998 Honda Magna nicknamed "Paladin". I really hated to sell it. I spent several years and mucho bucks fixing that Magna up with accessories to make it fit the Paladin theme. Remember the TV show "Have Gun Will Travel"? For a 750cc, it was an excellent bike. I put over 20,000 miles on it traveling the USA.

On September 17th, 2005, I sold Paladin to a lady in Canada. Now, keep in mind that I live in East Texas. She boarded a plane and flew to Dallas, then had a distant relative drive her to my house to pay me and pick up the Magna. She rode that Magna all the way back home to Vancouver, BC.

I hear from her from time-to-time as she and her husband (who rides a GoldWing), ride on trips. Recently she sent me a link to her blog where she chronicles her trip through 11 states for about 6000 miles. She and her husband left Aug 22nd and won't get back to Vancouver until the end of September.

I love my Nomad, but I have to admit, I miss Paladin.
