This is going to be the best ride yet. I sure hope I can make it. -- EDIT!! DUH! That's the weekend I'll be in Vegas, so I guess I won't. Bitchin' ride, though.

Because Snowgirl = Recruit Division Commander (aka Drill Instructor)= 88 Recruits = Working 0400-2200 at night 7 days a week for 6-9 wks straight..... So what the final math equals..... No time to ride....... It's bad enough I have to figure out when to do laundry, sleep and buy food..... Riding is small on the priority list when and if I get time off....

Sounds rough Snowy, we'll miss you -- I mean they'll miss you, I guess I'm not going either. (See post above somewhere.)

Also, you should consider storing your Sporty in my garage. I promise I won't take it for joy rides.

Strag... You can ride my sporty anytime... Lucky me, my garage is big enough for my bike and my car and.... It's heated I was wondering why you said you'd be at the ride that day when you'd be in Vegas
