Say goodbye to my little friend - Farewell to my first bike
Bon Voyage my 1982 Suzuki GS850GL - you will be missed. My first bike - a loyal, reliable companion - the ol’ Suzi served me well from the early spring of 2007 until last Sunday, when I sold her to a young lad from a small town by the Iowa border. It will be his first bike as well - welcome to the club buddy.
I remember the first day I rode her into work like it was yesterday. The date escapes me, but the numb, slight burning sensation in my winter-gloved hands and the almost-frozen snot coating the inside of my face shield from riding 25 miles in 37 degrees with no windshield will be with me forever.
