Sold airplane, purchased motorcycle and 4X4 tractor - 2009

Hey everyone.  We really tried to hang onto the airplane. 
But, after 421 hours of aerobatic and recreational flying it was time to give her a new home.  The airplane hanger she was in was costing us $350/month and she had to live with a bunch of rowdy helicopters.  The birds were lighting on the beams above and crapping on her wings, and the sand dunes were getting difficult to control.  I actually felt sorry for the girl.  She had always had such great care that it was time to let her go to someone who could take care of her the way I have always been able to.
So, what did we do with the cash.  Rick (me) bought himself a real nice Honda 1800cc VTX motorcycle.  Shaft drive and very nice. 
This is the other view here.
Then Lori bought  tractor.  Actually, Rick bought it, but it was more of a family purchase.  We knew we would need some help owning an acre of land. 
Yep, this is me showing off.  It is a 20 HP unit and only came with the bucket.  Really works fine around the home.
