The Best-laid Plans Can Be Waylaid if a Better Alternative Comes Along …
Sometimes it just doesn’t matter how organised you are, how much research you’ve done or how well you’ve planned some-thing – fate can intervene and turn things upside down.

“I’ve been around bikes my entire life,” states Jimmy. “I was ready to buy a bike. I was originally going to buy a CVO Breakout but when I got to the dealer someone had taken it out for a test ride.
