Buells and Happiness

Happiness with your Buell is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my Buell or not doesn't depend on how the handlebar controls are arranged...it's how I arrange my mind; I’ve already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up, hung-over, on the garage floor next to my bike. I have a choice; I can spend all day lying face down in a puddle of primary fluid recounting the difficulties I’ve had with the parts of my Buell that no longer work, or I can get up, yell, do a burn-out, and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day my Buell starts right up is a gift, and as long as my eyes are open I'll focus on the new twisties ahead and all the happy maintenance-free memories I've stored away...just for this time in my life. Owning a Buell is like having a bank account...you withdraw from it what you've put in (Dyna's overdrawn). So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of wheelies and footpeg draggings in the bank account of memories. I am still depositing. Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred of Rice.
2. Free your mind from worry about rocker box gaskets. Whiskey works best.
3. Live simply. Air-cooled is simple.
4. Give more. Your dealership’s owner has kids in college.
5. Expect less. You won’t be disappointed when you receive it.

Pass this message on to 7 people except you and me (not to your Mom,though... those contraptions are dangerous!) and you will receive a new XB12S tomorrow. Now, STOP! Did you hear what I just said? You WILL receive a New Buell tomorrow. So send it! Aloha.

So if I reply to this post with the whole thing quoted, and 7 people read it, does that count? You can have the bike delivered when I get home, mid-August or so. Thanks!
