168 hours in a week. -80 hours for work = 88 hours. Sleep 6 hours per night 88-42= 46 hours left in the week. 20 hours taking care of family leaves. 26 hours per week. 18000 miles in a year is 346 in a week. At an average of 40 mph he would spend 8.65 hours per week riding. Hell he still has 17 hours left.

the question is...??? you were over at the WHAT? forum????? why????
They happen to have a section called Harley vs Honda Board and, as Chief Moose use to say, "I wanted to edge-a-ma-cate myself a bit" - that post caught my eye.

After reading his post, I feel obligated to contact the Vatican and recommend this guy Sainthood. Do you think the Pope has an email address???

Dang!!! I don't have 1500 posts on the 6 or 8 forums I frequent...and I've been online for more than 5 years.
6 or 8 forums? ... why would anyone need to visit a forum other than this one? ... [sm=dontgetit.gif] [sm=wtf.gif]

I'd say that has to be BS, esp if he somehow has time to do 5,000+ posts??? Unless that 80 hr a week job (with a 45 minute commute each way) is as a Maytag Repairman on the graveyard shift with internet access I can't see how he'd have much time to do it.
