It's odd how life flows, Gary. I had NO plans to be on two wheels EVER again. I then moved here, to Bella Vista, Arkansas. I heard myself tell my sister, 'This is the ONE place I'd ride a bike again"; that was soon after I moved here, early 2020.

I kept thinking that, kept having dreams about being on a bike again. Finally, I test drove a used Vulcan 900 and felt at home on it. VERY at home. In a few days, I had a new 2021 Vulcan 900.
I was searching - for what I do not know, I guess I was looking for the feeling I had when I drove my first Crossfire Roadster in 2009.

I now have three 9's.

Crossfire SE Roadster - $9000
Ford Ranger Edge - $9000
Kawasaki Vulcan 900 - $9299
THIS is not how you live within your means. THIS is how you live BELOW your means, but enjoy every minute of it.
