Default Driving me nuts!

I'm sitting in my office trying to concentrate on working and all I hear are Harleys on the way down or back from MB. My office is one block away from the main strip through town. God, all I want to do is go ride with them! Come on Saturday!!!!!!!!!

Just be like Michael Parks in "Then Came Bronson"...

Tell the Man to shove it, get out on the highway, and never look back.

I know exactly how you feel.
My home/business is on the road that circles the lake ... fav. of bikes.
My clients have to get use to me stopping in mid sentence to look/listen, then go back to what I was saying like nothing happened. Sometimes I feel like I must look like the younger sibling left at home looking out the window, while the older siblings go dragging main street.

You think you're on the verge, my office window looks out on I10 between Houston and San Antonio. Thurs/Fri are the worst as everyone is going to a rally one way or the other. To make it even more torture, my bike is still down for rebuild after and accident.[:@]

Yep, you have it worse than me. At least I can't see them. Unless they take a wrong turn and come down my street.[8D]

Some times 'pipe envy' can be a good thing too.

My boss's wife had told her no more riding....so the bike was 'up for sale' . But w/ me riding to the office and scooting out for 'lunches' the helmet made it's way to the office this week and it looks like the bike is going to get snuck to the office so she can at least ride at work. (small laid back company we are umm very flexible with our working hours ). So the boss gets to ride again which makes her happy ~ which in turn makes everyone else in the office happy.



(but now I have to go to sleep every night praying her wife doesn't find out it was my fault [8D] cause she'll kill me)

I'm really confused! Is the "boss" a woman and her "wife" is also a woman? Are you a woman? Am I a woman?WTF does it all mean?

My home/office window faces a main drag (hwy 59/164) and all I hear all day is motorcycles of all kinds. Mainly Harleys. Needless to say some days I don't get much done except for wasting gasoline. [8D]

didn't think that would be a sticking point........Yes the boss is a woman and her wife is a woman...geezee keep up


just remember...we get to get on our seats and ride...even if it is driving us nuts have to wait to so do...some out there don't have the option...so maybe just maybe we can infect even more

and it's killing me today...working from home is soooo much harder when the weather is good
