The Journey for a New Ride: Part I

Image
Originally Published in Southeastern Rider Magazine, April 2018 With my current steed approaching 100,000 miles, I thought it might be time to shop around. Our maiden voyage for a new ride. No local dealers had a Demo Day that fit into our calendar, so we took a ride for ride. For my followers who have read about my exploits on my Blog, or who have been following along for the past year and half in this magazine, you know that I am getting up there in miles on my 2003 Honda VTX 1800c, also known as The Black Pearl. At the end of 2017, I had surpassed 92,000 miles. I purchased the bike in 2004 with only two tenths of a mile on the clock. Since it was my very first brand new bike, I rolled out of the dealership making it a mental goal to take this bike to six figures. With the distance approaching, my riding partner and I have begun the journey to find the next two wheeled goal-setter. So, what’s going to be the next steed in the stable? We haven’t decided this.
