I can't imagine what my life would be like without that wonderful machine.
Most of my free time is now spent on rides with my friends, all of whom came to me because of riding. It is my first choice for having fun these days.
With over 68,600 miles on the old scoot, it is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I am currently riding it to work and back every day with some longer rides thrown in for a kick.
It is running better than it has in a long while. I think I will keep it.
Rocket in Alaska.

Well done the Rocket Ship. At this point it has no value. You are glued together forever. A viking/vespa funeral is in the cards. My Bonneville is the same way, running perfectly, 90,000 miles no trade in value so I keep it with a clear conscience!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. I know that Rocket has no value on the open market, but to me it is priceless.
ReplyDeleteAt less than half the mileage on my GTS as you have on the Rocket mine too has no value but is priceless. Congratulations on your anniversary and let's hope we're both here for the 2oth!
ReplyDeleteRocket will never be sold, and is running like new these days. We went on a wonderful 100 mile ride today and still have many more roads to cover.
