Well, it is a bitter sweet day for me as I say goodbye to an old friend. I've been thinking about this for a long time and the time has finally come.
Alas, I am parting with my first true love. Yes, my MP3 is moving on to find someone else to love and cherish her. A tough decision, but had to be done. Together we explored new roads and new friends. We enjoyed the glorious days and even the dark and stormy days were still a great adventure.
I spent yesterday and this morning removing the signs of my relationship with her - after all, someone else will select their own windscreen, footpegs, GPS mount and top case brackets.
Finally, this afternoon it was time for our final ride together. Once more, she purred to life instantly, just as she had for the last 5.5 years. Over 28,000 miles together, it was time for our final 30. She ran like a dream all the way. She was sad, but ready for her own be life.
Fair well my friend, fair well. I'm sure you will find someone to love you almost as much as I did.
Sigh.
