Well, as my wife says, 'hombre propone, Dios dispone.' Alas, no motorcycle yet. Sigh.

Had it delivered back to the house the other day, started it up in the driveway and it immediately flooded and started leaking gasoline... My mechanic stood by, shook his head and said it must be the carb seals, which weren't a problem at all when he thoroughly test drove it earlier that day, but sometimes do fail in this way when they are old. So, he took it back to order the parts and replace the seals on his nickel (he's a good guy).

To top it off, got turned away from registration for having the incorrect papers! It's a conspiracy I tell ya'!

So here I am, still waiting... Freedom is still on the horizon.

The new plan is to register Conchita on Wednesday with the correct paperwork, and take delivery of Conchita on Wednesday afternoon. THEN, I will be free! Hahahaha hahaha haha ha. yah.

Took this photo heading east on Hwy 121 in N Dallas some months ago. On my motorcycle. Had to slow down from 90 to about 65 and stand on the seat to get a good shot... ;)
