Okay, he won’t be riding for a couple months at least, but he has a new steed. Dale from Billings, who some of you may know as Roadtrip, is selling all his earthly possessions and moving to Kosova permanently. When I heard he was selling his low mileage 2007 Speedmaster, knowing that John (“Freedom” on BA.com) wanted a Speedmaster next, I played Chuck Woolery and hooked them up. Yesterday John came through Helena to pick me up and we went to Billings to pick up his new bike. It was a killer deal, even without all the accessories. If John didn’t buy it, I would have.
We got back to Helena around 8:30 last night and John crashed (oooh, bad turn of phrase there) in my spare room. After a little Helena hospitality at Steve’s Cafe this morning, I shot some pics and sent him on his way.
2007 Speedmaster, approx. 5600 miles, 2 baffles drilled out, driving lights, clearview windshield, Corbin seat and backrest, K-drive quick release sidebags, Biker’s Friend rollbag, Kuryakyn tourbag, Haynes manual, etc. etc. etc. Poor thing isn’t even broken in yet. Heck, Dale even threw in a gallon of oil and a filter. John is set up for a while. Needs to ditch that AI, though.
