Grasshopper Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 With all the repairs now done to Bagheera, we were able to get out for a ride today, our first in a few weeks and the first of 2021. The sun also came out for the first time, in what feels like weeks. I was a happy Grasshopper. Went by the local farms and the cows were out. Spent some time in the forest. I wasn't going to with my fresh bearings, I was going to "take it easy", but I couldn't resist. Then I went by an area that had a forest fire go through a year ago, the fire just carved out a path. There were some big puddles after all the rain we have had. Heading home I passed lots of locals also out having fun. Great place to live and a lovely first ride of 2021 for Bagheera and the Grasshopper! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they could just say well your buying a bike from them and just deliver the bike to you for free? Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Sounds like they are just trying to rut more money from you than they ought to be, they will be making enough from the bike to cover delivery to you for no additional cost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they figure, a truck and an employee for the day, plus fuel and ferry fees to a remote location just adds up. The price I pay for living in a beautiful remote location.....
