If you will it, Dude, it is no dream.

When you pay attention to the things that are presented in life, it's pretty interesting how they fall into place. Walter's statement carries much much more meaning than meets the eye.
I knew this bike would be there, and I think somehow I knew it would be mine.. The timing was aweful and the financial aspects could have been better, but what price can be put on living a dream? I've been filling my helmet with laughter ever since!
It was sad to see El Bandito rolled into the showroom floor like he belonged to them.. but he does.. He served me well and at this point I don't think he owes me a damn thing.. After all, over 14,000 miles in 13 months.. I'll take a little financial loss for that.. well, that and a GS Adventure.


In a way this transition goes against every logical thought in my brain, but in reality, I can't think of a more perfect and fitting vehicle to take me on the remainder of this particular Adventure. If you will it, Dude.. it is no dream.

Thanks, TR, for working with me on this one.. Your motivation to see me on this bike played a large part in making it happen. Extremely large. See you on the road... don't forget to go for a freakin' ride! You're welcome in Grizzly anytime.. say the word.
