1. I appreciate my bike more when others appreciate it.
2. Trying to keep up with smaller bikes on twisty roads, I realize I'm not nearly as good of a rider as I think I am, and I'm okay with that.
3. I'd love to have a 6th gear on my bike.
4. New Harley's are far too expensive.
5. Being stuck in interstate accident traffic in 98 degree weather while wearing a full face helmet, leather jacket, and gauntlet gloves is probably the most uncomfortable I can be.
6. After 15 bikes and as many years riding, my mom still worries every time I leave her home on the bike and calls me to make sure I'm home safe. I'm gonna miss that one day.
7. I think I'll buy a dual sport this summer.

1. I need a second bike.
2. It's awesome having my daughter home for the summer.
3. I really like cashews.
4. I really like chocolate.
5. Will I ever find another Gibson MK-81?
6. It was WAY too hot for anything today.
7. I'm getting antsy....it's time to get in another rock band.
8. Can I start over?
9. The Gibler77 must have been really bored to start this thread.
10. I'm originally from Jonesboro, AR. It stands to reason that it should be standard issue for anyone from AR to have an AR-15.
11. I need to lose ten pounds thanks to #3 and #4.
12. I wonder if this will get moved to Off Topic.

1. Some of the Forum members share way more of their personal info than we need. (especially showering habits)
2. Some Members need to share more when posting about loosing 10 lbs. :-) Pics please
3. perhaps we need a medical issues forum (based on all the posts I have seen).
4. I absolutely love riding and wish I could retire and just ride around until I die.

That right there...I'm 48 and my mom still does this. My kids (21 & 24) lost their mom last year so it sucks they lost this too. I'll never replace her but I do this more now than ever.
