The bike she wants wont be in stock until March 2023. I was lucky to snag mine.
I've never owned a boat, or a motorcycle, but I do play about 95 rounds of golf each year.
You can't take the money with you, and besides that, it will probably be the last bike I ever buy.
I had about 4 years of constant medical issues and finally came to the end of that horrific tunnel. I told my wife that I think I have earned a new bike and started looking at the Emonda SLR, but ended up going Project 1 Domane SLR 7. You know the best day of owning a boat is the day you sell your boat .
