Default Saying Good Bye to My Mistress

She was loyal, trustworthy and beautiful but I had to say "Good Bye" to my mistress (as my wife calls her) and noble steed. It is a happy time yet sad at the same time. We had an excellent run together but I have found yet another.
I dearly love my faithful steed and she has been nothing but true, satisfying my every need and never complaining but as life would have it I had a wandering eye. I tried to fight the feeling but I was doomed from the first glance I had of real beauty calling out to me. There she was, standing in full glory on the showroom floor. Her dark candy red exterior glistening in full splendor, how could I resist.
My dear wife saw the twinkle in my eyes and begrudgingly approved. What could I do but say yes to the beckoning call. I know... you can call me a cad because my mistress was there too. She was in the service bay only a few feet away at the same location awaiting a transplant but was in wait of the needed item to restore her health. As she sat there I shamelessly cast her aside signing away all my rights to her in order to be with another.
It is official. I traded in my beautiful Shadow, Sabre, for a Honda ST1300. It is an 05" but brand spanking new with "0" miles off the showroom floor. I wanted an 05" because of the color. The 06" is black, looks beautiful but it would be too much work keeping it clean.

Parting is such sweet sorrow... Farewell Oh Trusted Steed!



Here is my new Mistress!
