they’ve got your number
they grow old
but remain young
to only the bold
is their song sung
as the orb glows
and floats on thru
what one knows
the others do too
think they hide now
kind of like theatre
you can decide now
or wait until later
know their trees
are not your lumber
because you see
they've got your number
We made it to Concord, North Carolina, and back. We picked up one bike. My brother attempted to purchase a bike that he liked but the negotiations reached an impasse. Ride Now Concord is a huge motorcycle store with a lot of brands. They also have a lot of 4 wheelers and side by sides. So it was very interesting to see all the different inventory. And it is always interesting to look at all of the used stuff. They have this thing that they do where they make you stand at the front of the store and ring a bell while they play this wild music and everyone claps. That bell was ringing all day long. So they move a lot of inventory.
We left in the dark and got home in the dark. It warmed up a little in the afternoon but for the most part it was a pretty cold day. And that slowed down the process. We had to wait for a brand new battery to be replaced in the bike. They initially told us that they were going to fill a new battery with acid and charge it. The sales person told me that he had no idea how long that would take. When I googled it the estimate was between 4 and 24 hours. I talked with an employee in the service department and he talked to his supervisor and they decided to to put in a different type of battery that did not need to be charged. So that got us back on the road a lot quicker.
My brother and I had not had a big adventure together in 50 years. Now we have had 2 in a period of 13 days. Who says motorcycles don’t have wings?
I hope that you have a big adventure in front of you. If you don’t maybe it’s time to plan one. Enjoy your Saturday! Remember to smile!
