My pleasure Buzz, wish I could be with you on the trip but have fun and be safe.

Hmm, "wanted huh" - yeah they say that in a picture on a wall - wonder how they'd go about telling it to my face? Ahh, actually - probably wouldn't phase them one little bit

When the guy said something abt u being wanted, he commented something about a hooker by the name of Cinnamon. They found all the parts to Jasmine (hooker #2) but Cinnamon is no where to be found.

They did not even get to tell Cinnamon abt her tests show she has syphilis and gonorrhea but they figured she would show up. Or you would. 'doh!

Well - that just shot the s$%t outta my reputation!

Not true, none of it, not at all - Cinnamon is alive and well and living in my Spice Cupboard along with Mint and Basil, although think I'll have to separate those two ...

I've loved riding bikes since I was 16, when I bought a chopped Honda CB 750 F2 and I've been riding ever since, 23 years now!

To me a bike is a mode of transport so I use it to do shopping, to hammer around when I'm pissed off or sad, to meet up with friends, to soak up the sun, just plain old everything.
Don't need a pillion (that keeps talking so I have to keep asking: 'WHAT?!' because I can't hear them over the noise of the bike and the wind) but having the love of my life as a pillion was a dream come true.

I enjoy a ride with a group but only when those in the group understand how to ride as a group...otherwise it gets on my nerves...does this help?

Nice story Stephtell, and nice that you found the love of your life to share your interest and love of riding.

Currently I'm with the commuter crowd. If I didn't ride it to work, it wouldn't get ridden. No time for trips right now.

In the past I've ridden with anywhere from 1 bike to 'parade' riding with several thousand. I don't do parades any more. Too much chaos. And I pick my riding partners a bit more carefully now. I had one dude I rode with that would just 'disappear'. One moment he was there, the next he'd take off and I wouldn't see him for an hour. I stopped riding with him. I've been two-up with another couple that we know, and they are fun to ride with. But other than that, on the long trips I've made (Sturgis, Daytona, etc.) I've been solo or with the wife.

One thing's for certain, I don't ride long after dark if I'm solo. Too many bad things can leave you crumpled up, off the road, and out of sight to not have a wingman.

Ditto to that, especially around my area where the deer, and other critters (big and small) are all over the place, especially this time of the year, even down the four lane.

I've come close a couple of times to hitting a deer, or a deer hitting me, around dusk and it wasn't fun, certainly got the adrenalin pumping among other things.

If I do get caught out after dark, I drop my speeds back to 40 or 45 tops around the back roads, which are the majority of roads around here. Even then I wouldn't want to hit a deer or bear.
