Ahh well, there we have it.last years gas pump.no, my glove didn't get hung up, the gas pump malfunctioned, and didnt turn off until i put it back in the pump cradle, seeing how I had gas everywhere, me, the bike, the ground, I used a little bit of force. But hey, if that's your excuse, so be it.the Dallas 2006 FJR you kept trying to push me to buy. Or any of the other bikes.... But the dallas one, you do realized you have just accused me of lying to you, saying that i made it up when i told you, that i was told, that the bike was sold. that you felt that you had to check up on me like one of your teenage kids. Since I made those calls from the office, those calls are all recorded, would you like to hear them? So, when I said I called the dealer that morning and spoke with a salesman, and that salesman told me the bike was sold, that is exactly what I was told. And while i did thank you for your relentless pursuit to get any other bike but a red one, I would have ended up spending $1100 more for a 2006, with more miles and less options. But... it would not have been red!When I first called you asking if you had a problem, because our last few conversations indicated to me that you seemed to be truly upset, and i cared enough about our friendship to call, i had no idea you had already sent an angry email to the other guys telling them you were not going, so i was hearing your true AppleSauce for the first time, not half veiled hints. You accused me of "doing it to you again" and that you "can't get over it this time", Imagine my shock to find that someone who I considered a good friend revealed that he has carried this type of resentment over the past several years. I would not actually say i "flew off the handle" since you did most of the talking while just listened in stunned silence. My initial reaction was one of upset because i thought i truly had done something to upset a friend. I did the only thing I could think of at the time, back out of the trip. But once the shock wore off.... I realized that I was not the one who had done anything wrong, and I was not the one with problems. Frankly i truly got Chicken Sandwich angry at you for your childish behavior. Cost a friendship, your the one who stated he had a problem, not me. I was the one who had his bike trashed, I was the one who had to scramble to find a solution to a problem we all jokingly talked about playing "What if" on the very day we shipped the bikes out. Then you try and tell me what bike i can or can not buy, and then you tell me where i can or can not go on a vacation, a vacation that we as a group had been planning for months. That's when i asked you if you really want to burn a friendship over this, a color of a bike, and your reply... "i guess so" I already knew where I had been relegated to as "friendship status" before i even posted any of this, I have seen you do it before, and i am sure you will do it again. So if your willing to burn a friendship over something petty like this, well here let me provide the gas. Lay it all out on the table so that everyone can see it.See you in Alaska! and i sincerely hope you have a great trip.
You may want to calm down and not let this get to you so much.
I only have two things to add:The color of the bike is black cherry, not "maroon", or "red". It was only used one year, and is the absolute best, and fastest color to slap on an FJR.Enjoy your new wheels, Bryce; I know I love mine!
That bike looks friggin awesome.
