Wife & I went to the motorcycle shop that’s closing

We knew that it was closing the doors forever in a few days, and we wanted to drop in and say goodbye, and see if there was any merchandise we could buy.

We feel very sorry for the owner of the shop, saying goodbye to his dream.  Bill is a very nice guy, and we will miss him.

We asked him what his plans are for generating income once his shop closes, and he said he doesn’t know.  Said something about needing to go on a business trip for a month, and needing an operation, so he will be out of the market for a couple of months.

We asked him for his personal phone number so that maybe in a few months we could go riding together, and he gave it to us.

I wanted to buy a pair of motorcycle boots from him, but he didn’t have my size, what a disappointment!  Everything in the store was 50% off, I was hoping to pick up a bargain. 

I DID buy an air filter for my Harley, and my wife found three die-cast replicas of some Harleys that she thought I’d like to buy.  She was right, I bought them.  I like collecting die-cast replicas of cars, trucks, motorcycles, helicopters, stuff like that.  They were on sale at $3.00 each, so how could I lose?

I don’t know if we will actually see Bill again or not, I hope so.  Regardless, I wish him well in whatever he does.
