thanks for listening. Have a great Thursday.
Start a thread on one, or all of these topics:

Oil

Counter-steering

Bicyclists on the road

Will Harley survive

Anything regarding 1% clubs and/or patch placement

Anything political or religious in nature


That seems to be what everyone else does who has time to waste

Congrats on retirement.

Congrats....time to think about moving or becoming a snow bird.

It's a little chilly down here in central Florida today but by tomorrow it will be back up in the high 70's and 80's for the weekend.

Congrats about a year and a half behind you. Today is not looking like a bad day in NJ to ride.

Congratulations,,,Last Tuesday was my last day.By Wednesday afternoon, I had surfed to the end of the internet, arranged all the cans in the pantry alphabetically, then by size. Waxed the dog, and washed the yard. Thursday was a little better.

This first week just seems like I dicking off from work. Sleeping later and not driving thru town every day is starting to feel pretty good.

Enjoy yourself/

Bruce
