"I told the wife I was going to buy a new Harley she said I already had one and then she said why don't you buy a Grand Sport"

Hmm.... I have got to try that approach see if I can get that to work . Nice Vette, great color, I'm sure you will love it as you did your C5. Have Fun!!

Get a pic of the Harley too!


Here's my set of sunny day toys. Sometimes the decision on which to drive is tough but a nice one to be able to make!

Very nice GS!
A couple years ago a friend of mine sold his Harley Ultra due to his wife not wanting to ride much anymore. About a year later he bought a Dyna Superglide, he said he missed the therapy two wheels provided him.

I think most wives would NOT have responded like that. Count your blessings.

Nice GS! Am hoping, a few years down the road when they come up "pre-owned" and considerably cheaper, I'll get one. Second to some of the old sharks, the GS roadster is my dream vette.

Congrats! Great looking GS. Those are very sexy. I saw one cruising down the road the other day and it was a head turner!

I just turned 60 last July. I sold my bike about 2 months ago. I live close to Blue Ridge Parkway. Last couple of times I was on Parkway I could tell it was time to get off the bike.I just didn't feel comfortable on it anymore. My C5 vert takes me to the Parkway now.
