Welkum to the Klub, been waitin' for ya ta git here.

WAY GLAD you are able to post 'bout it. We won't discuss the 'other' options.
Wisht they'd come out with some sorta pill, that relieves being allergic to asphalt, so we wouldn't have to put up with that DAMMT rash. Been many years since I experienced that chit, hope it is MANY MORE.

Uhhh, no comment on the 'other' comment.

Ya gots 1/2 of the "Requirements" met, and WHEN you git back on, you have the 2nd 1/2.
Course, then you'd become one of those "Patch" people. Iz Loozanna ready for THAT????

Glad to hear you were able to walk away thanks for the reminder as to the right gear when riding. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. they just do 6 mile of experience or 6 million. smart move dumping the bike before you became a hood ornament.

Hey there Bob

You remind me of a guy that was on here awhile back. Wish I could remember his name. He was a less than cordial poster just like you.
