I just got a jolt of a lifetime tonight. I was getting out of my truck in my driveway after working late. Suddenly the GARAGE DOOR OPENS AND MY FAMILY IS TAKING MOVIES AND SNAPPING PICTURES OF ME!!. There in front of me is my dream motorcycle - a brand new blue Honda ST1300, YO BABY!! I am still in shock, I can't believe it. They have been planning this for months without me even knowing. My youngest son knew I fell in love at first sight at a Honda dealer last year when I saw the blue 2004 ST1300 (only year made). My wife scoured all over N.Cal for a blue 04. My brother-in-law and father-in-law retrieved it and hid it. My boss was in on it too. And last but most certainly not least my dear, sweet, and very generous sister bankrolled the whole deal, I mean the whole tomato - bike, cover, Honda factory service manual, extended warranty, etc...WOW, what a family, I am so excited I can’t sleep. I think it is finally time to say goodbye to my still beautiful and trusty 83’ Interceptor, it is kind of sad but I think it is time for me to move on. :urock: I still can’t believe it. :) :)

Wow! What a gift...you've got quite a family!

Congrats! Post some pics for us if you get a chance..

Nice, great Touring-Sport bike.

I have been so busy I have only put 15 miles on it (I've been working 2 jobs last 4 months), but I have a bit of time free on Sunday and will get out for a putt after yard work. My 2nd job should be over by summer and I will have a lot more time to use it. I can't believe what a lucky man I am. I will get some pic's posted soon. My sister is retired and is well off because she worked hard and made some good investments. She said her reason for doing this is why should her loved ones have to wait for her to die to enjoy what she wants to give us now. This way she said she gets to see and feel the happiness and excitement her generosity produces. She is something else.
