Funny story. I just passed the rider test and was looking in the paper on-line for bikes ion Richmond, VA. Printed out some listings and headed for Potomac Mills shopping center via the southern route (64 to 95) and while driving my wife saw this ad for the Savage in my price range and it so happened we were 10 miles from their location when she saw the ad. We called their number on the cell phone and they were home. 7 minutes later after directions we got there and I test drove the bike and fell in love. Perfect size, right price and man was it cool looking. My wife liked it even better than me. I SAID to the very nice owners that I needed to think about it but I knew I was hooked. Called that night with a slightly lower price "bid" and they said yes.
So many things could have happened for me NOT to get that bike - so I'll always think it was destiny. It's been great ever since. The WEB site was just a bonus...
