First of all, please don't misundertand me. I love Annabelle. I love riding Annabelle. But I really want something bigger. I've felt this way for a while. Even before I got my license I had dreams of shovelheads screaming in my head. :)
Big D and I have been talking about a big-girl bike for some time now. We went to a swap meet at a local parts/repair shop yesterday, and I sat on a 1982 FXR that was absolutely gorgeous. And it had 34K original miles on it. Ape hangers, lots of pretty chrome, everything I like. However, it was about $2K more than we really had to spend. I was sad, but I moved on knowing that Big D was on the lookout for a new/old scoot for me.
When I got home from work today, Big D said he was thinking of buying our whack-job neighbor's 80-80. He's tried to buy it before, but the neighbor never wanted to sell, or the price wasn't right, or he was too drunk, etc, etc. So I told Big D to take a walk over and make an offer, knowing full well that whack-job wouldn't sell.
When he came back to the house I said, "Better luck next time." Big D said, "I just bought myself a shovelhead." WTF?! Apparently whack-job took Big D's offer with no questions asked. My new/old shovel will be here tomorrow.
Mind you, it needs to be put back together (of course), but who better to do that than Big D? I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be graduating to the bike of my dreams. :) Of course, this means I will have to be extra nice to my favorite mechanic for a while. But I guess I can deal with it for a new bike. ;)
I will post pics as soon as she arrives!!

See, to be a biker means we're never happy. Allways bigger, badder, better....it's like the biker creed. Congrats on the new/old ride!!!!
Great news! Congrats!
LadyR: I think you meant to say you wish Harley was your mechanic, right? LMFAO!!!!!
Why don’t you just put it in a trailer and bring it over her? I’ll gladly rebuild it. Minus of course, the parts that might find their way onto my Shovel;) Sounds like a drag race in the makings. Congratulations!
Most definitely!! If only he knew how to wrench on bikes... he'd never have a moments peace.
Awesome! Congrats! Looking forward to pics!
congrats!! i'm jealous... :O)
Awesome Ann!!! Can't wait to see it!
And who knows....
Maybe Lady R really does want to sleep with her mechanic?! LOL!!!
Ann! Ok! I hate it when I'm flippin' stoked about someone else's bike!
What about when you get it home and almost ready to ride WillyD and I scoot over to check it out! I'd ride that to celebrate...seriously
Now...about the big girl bike? Can we change that to "Bad-Ass Bitch Bike?" yeah...I like that better. (Goes along with the penis vs. cock thing....just sounds better.) For being pretty much easy going...I'm kinda a picky prick now huh?
Congrats! BigD...A hard man is good to find. You love the lady.
Ann,
you know to ride a shovel you have to have an old school Harley red, white, and blue No. 1 emblem tattoo, right?
:)
-Peace
LOL! Thanks everyone!
Dave: I'll call you when she's done so you guys can come celebrate! :)
Celebrate my ass! I’m coming looking for spare parts!
Looking forward to see what it looks like finished.
Dean... Harley's still #1. Besides, now that my FAVORITE Harley mechanic has moved away, I'm stuck with some young wet behind the ears lanky f#%ker. Don't feel like training another so...
:)
Congrats again Ann on such a great hubby and an awesome bike. I like the "Bad-Ass Bitch Bike" too.
Poor Annabelle
