Boarding Longmire for the winter.

Boarding my trusted steed Longmire for the winter.

It's getting late in the year, and although I've enjoyed riding my bike, even in the cold weather, I think it's time to store it.  I'm mostly concerned about dumping it on ice or snow and wrecking it. So it's back to Action Power Sports where they'll winterize my bike and put it in heated storage.

I'll call him.......Longmire

After riding my new Victory for a month, I've come up with a name that suits my trusted steed. I'll call him Longmire.

Now if I get that Indian Soft Bagger I want, I'll name him Standing Bear. 

40+ MPG - Gotta love it!

Thumbs up for saving money!

 I drive 84 miles to work everyday. Driving my Victory to work saves me a lot of money. I'm getting about 44 miles to the gallon. So I spend about $60 a week on gas as opposed to the $130 using the Sedona, or the $170 I'd spend in my Dodge Ram.

Break in service

 Hard to believe I've already driven 500 miles on my new bike. That went fast, so it's back to Action Power Sports to get the break in service done.

The guys did an awesome job, even cleaning my bike after I got caught in the rain.

I buy my first brand new vehicle!

After a year of looking at motorcycles, I finally decided I really want a Victory. So I stopped at Action Power Sports this morning and fell in love with this Victory Vegas. I looked at everything. I thought the Harley Fat Boy was a good bike, and I really liked the Ducati Diavel. But this bad boy Victory really does it for me. I give it 10 out of 10 tool man grunts! **GRRRR***

Got a new motorcycle, two thumbs up!

I filled out the paperwork, and by the time I got home Action Power had called me and told me I had the bike.

So I picked up the wife, drove back to Waukesha, and rode home with my brand spanking new motorcycle.
