A Mid Life Crisis, or Just an Appropriate Anniversary Gift?

We've talked about it; we decided not to.  We talked about it again; and decided to look at "the other" guys offerings.  We talked about it; we decided not to.  We rented some; we talked about it again; we decided not to.  We talked about it; decided to look at used.  We talked about it; we decided not to.  We talked about it, we looked at the other guys, we looked at used, we looked at new.  We talked about it; decided not to - at least not until after the upcoming Africa trip.  We talked about it; this is NOT a single proposition - there WILL be two.  We talked about it; we took the other guys off the table.  We talked about it, we narrowed down what we were looking at.  We talked about it, we shopped some more.  We talked about it, we took used off the table.  We talked about it, we got serious.  They got serious.  
 We got bit by Rally Fever!

 Bill with his Harley Fat Boy on our maiden ride.  

Connie with her Harley Deluxe (and the jealous child!).

My bike had a couple hi-cups and had to go back to the Dealership, but a big shout out to Black Hills Harley Davidson in Rapid.  They truly went the extra mile, coming out to the house three times, count them three times to make sure I was wearing a smile - just like I was when we left the dealership Tuesday afternoon.  Not one time did they ask me to bring the bike back - they came out and worked on it, they came out and got it (and left me the Sales Managers personal demo bike!), they brought it back out to me.  Want a bike?  Talked to these guys.....they'll treat you right!  Tim Kellar - Salesman, Kelly - Sales Manager, David in Service, and Donald in the Warehouse - top notch guys!

So to get back to my earlier posed question..........

I think chrome and horse power is a P-E-R-F-E-C-T 14th anniversary (one week early!) present!

Kayaking Sheridan Lake

It's been a long time since I've been on the kayak......I miss kayaking regularly.  Gonna have to change that.

Sheridan Lake, looking east toward Hwy 385.

The lakes outlet.

My friend, Vanessa that I went with.

Good times!

 This heron stayed with us around the lake.....that is, as long as I was not pushing his comfort level to hard!

Mama.

The kids are getting big.  Won't be long and they will be full sized.
