Well, it's been over a year with my new 900 now and I figured I'd share something with y'all.

When I first bought the bike I didn't even ride it home. I had a friend ride it home because I wanted to learn in a little more relaxed environment. I followed him in my car, and we made one quick stop on the way at a gas station and I snapped this pic of the bike;



Well several months later my wife and I were out riding and I stopped by the same gas station, and snapped THIS one;

Er.. um.. nevermind I can't find that picture. But it's somewhere! Picture the same bike but with a mustang seat and a few little trinkets.

Or.. here;



There it is on our honeymoon, in Eureka Springs.

And then I snapped THIS one just the other day at that SAME spot;



*sniff* they grow up so fast!

Thank you sir but I am not a vet. The Navy patch says "Navy Brother" on it and is worn in honor of my little brother who is currently serving in the USN. I am in the patriot guard, but you don't have to be a vet to be a member. Many of the folks I ride with are vets and they've encouraged me to join and I've done several PGR rides with them.

Yes, sigh, they do grow up so quickly, right before our very eyes. I have raised several such children over the years. Then, when they get "all growed-up," we tend to say goodbye to them, send them on their way, and after a tear or two, we adopt another infant to raise up.

I'd say that that's the final product, but I suspect that is not so. There will always be something or another to add and improve its performance, appearance or comfort. Once a parent, always a parent, ya know.

Oh, and the bags are Mutazu HL bags. The trunk is a Harley Tour Pak.

It is amazing how they will eventually turn out, and a lot of times different than what we originally planned.
