Good plan, and yes, at least 3. LOL

That M2 is nice, no its not a Firebolt but still nice. Any word on it yet?

Care for the X1s at all? They don't have as much "body work" on 'em.

There was a deposit on the M2 last I heard but that has happened more than 2 times in the last year.
Dont know much about X1's, I like the body work tho

The currant "IT" is pretty cool

Jazzed: I dug up a really cool current explanation for "IT". Enjoy.......


“IT”

If you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get "it", then you are ready to take certain steps . . .
"It" being the ability to live one day at a time, sober, grateful and fully alive, content in the sufficiency of God's Grace, without self-destructing.
For those of us that know, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation is possible, but we can show you how to find "it" for yourself!
Open the Big Book to page 59. This is how you will find “IT”. This page in the Big Book has the steps of the path upward…..

The AA Principles

Honesty

Step 1. We admitted that we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.

Hope

Step 2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Faith

Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.

Courage

Step 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Integrity

Step 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Willingness

Step 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Humility

Step 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

Brotherly Love

Step 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Justice

Step 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Perseverance

Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

Spirituality

Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.

Service

Step 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, especially alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Seems like this section for bikers might have more chopper/harley people but its all the same. When you get on your bike, its a different world. It relieves stress and keeps your mind off problems. I just prefer to ride at 100+mph through curves around a track instead of cruising in a straight line. I hope everyones sunday ride went safe.

Thank you for this topic I too think this might be a problem for me. When I got sober almost 9 years ago I bought a fat boy and was happy for a while. Then slowly I returned back to my roots of sportbikes. I love trackdays !! I also love this site THANK YOU !!
