|  Unofficial Welcome Wagon (This time to myself)?! Hey Folks! Adrian knows me well by now, and hopefully (?) can vouch for me! I'm cool and don't bite!  Harleys Rule (but don't tell Pint I said that!)!  Basically been riding for what seems like forever and still around to tell the tale (amazing?). I've had all the major brands at one time or another which honestly says: I like (no Love!) ALL friggin' Motorcycles (bring em' on!)! Nuff' said?! LRG  |

| Gixxer Girl  | Well alright then I guess we'll let ya hang around for a while...  I must admit I have actually never even rode a Harley. Been on a V-rod before and some stuff like that but Sport biles and dirt bikes are my thing. The last time I even walked into a Harley shop/store I got home and my Gixxer was stolen...I'm boycotting them for spite now..haha |

| Yikes! I hear that!! I've certainly had a LOT of stuff stolen OFF Bikes over the years, but never the whole thing (yet?!) - knock on Wood! Sporting Bikes would seem to place to be these days, with the influx of new Riders, in the smaller displacement classes. My only feeble Sport Bike experience stems from a past 1982 Yammie XJ650 Secca ‘Turbo’ and later still a 1974 Kawi KZ900 Café Racer – light years behind anything they have now! LRG Footnote: Got to admit over my (!) many past travels all over the Sierra Nevadas (CA) I sure encountered many a beautiful (virtually deserted in the Summer) Ski Lodge, stopping only for petrol, a cool drink or a snack. Gotta' confess the prospect of rip snorting down a mountain top with only a pair of Skis to stop me scares the bejabbers outta' me (impossible these days as I hobble around on a cane, but can STILL Ride)! Still, might of been worth it just to spend some very comfortable time 'recovering' in those resorts I briefly encountered over the years?! Nuff' said.  Quote:

| Gixxer Girl | Skiing used to be my favorite past-time. These day's I think track days are winning out but only because I can do them regularly and living in TX means a ski trip is a maybe once a year thing. Nothing beats having a little black-berry brandy from a flask and flying down between the trees with powder flying. Add a few mogul runs in there and a hot tub with a glass of wine to end the day and it doesn't get much better... I used to drive out in the morning and ski all day and still be home at night when I lived in PA. Since I bought my house 2 years ago I haven't been skiing at all. I was going to plan a trip this year but I think it might wait 1 more. I want to pay off some stuff and get laser eye surgery first. I'll see if I can dig up some good moutaintop ski pics for ya.. |

| Spider Interwebby Thingy  | Didn't Sonny used to ski?  I have never been, but years ago I used to skateboard all day long, every day. I heard that skaters like snowboarding... I might try that some day, if I ever overcome my dislike of temperatures below 75 degrees...

The 'H' won't be a problem though - it has an older Victory V92SC to keep it company (at least for a while).
