And now the bike is gone


Last night Jon sold his BMW motorcycle. He owned it for 3 1/2 years and was able to get hours of enjoyment out of it. He fulfilled a life-time dream of biking around the US with his two brothers in 2005 and has loved driving it to work just about every day since he bought it.

But it was time for the bike to move on to another owner so we could save about $10K in interest on our new home. I'm not sure if Jon will post a eulogy on his blog, but here is a picture of his baby with the load bearing system that he created and built himself.

Farewell, good bike.

Ah the lamentations! I'm reminded of Ecclesiastes 3: 1 - 8, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven (even selling a motorcycle). I can't help but hear the Byrds song: "Turn, Turn, Turn" for some reason. A sad day and we will grieve with you brother ...
