  That has totally changed. I am NOW in a Relationship, with an Awesome Lady! Just about a year after I had totally given up on finding someone else. We officially began our relationship on the 28th of Jan, this year. I had started trying to get back on track, on here, but have been sidetracked by this.  ;)

   BTW, Karla and my Dad, are doing just fine.  ;)

That's great, Bill!  I'm very happy for you and your new lady.  Does she have any clue what she's gotten herself into? ;) ;D

Good to hear Bill! Sorry we never got to meet before I left AR. You should try to meet up with the vintage bike guys I used to ride with. They always welcome new riders, and are a fun group of guys (and one girl).

       Thank you Gordon, She REALLY Lights up My Life! LOL! I'd known her for about 4yrs, but we just didn't really see what we could be, for each other until now. So, She has SOME idea of what she's gotten herself into.  ;D

         Thank You, I'm Floatin' on Air!   On the 28th of Jan, suddenly I was telling Michelle that

     "if it wasn't for the age difference (and I wasn't going to include the miles to her, cause THAT can be dealt with), I'd be asking her if She could accept me?" (I had NO idea that I was, on that day, say that. It just happened) and She quickly responded with "Age is just a number to me" and with that, we were suddenly starting into the relationship, we now have.

      Thank you, for that, I appreciate it. Oh Man, I just don't keep up here, like I used to, I didn't know you had moved. Michelle likes to ride and maybe we can manage to meet up with the others, after a while. Right now, she is in Georgia and I am in hopes of ending up here, but, I will do whatever I have to do. I'll try to shot you a PM today and I am sorry too, that we never met up, while you were here. That IS a shame. Hope all is well with you all.  ;)

     It DOES seem to have happened pretty quickly! We HAVE known each other for a little over 4yrs though and had sent pictures of each other, though we only actually were face to face, just last Month. There just seems to be so many things that were leading up to this, you know?  ;)  (BTW, My 1st Wife Brenda and I met in Sept of '70, in Nov or Dec, I asked HER to Marry Me and we Married in Jan '71 and were married for almost 39yrs, when she passed away) Just sayin'  ;)   

Congratulations Bill!!!

May you both enjoy many happy times together.

      Thanks for that, I can't see it being anything but that!  ;)

    No, Michelle and Brenda didn't know each other, but Michelle gave me moral support, through the ordeal with the "S & S Team", as they tried to take my Dad and put him in the Nursing Home while trying to take everything he had, She was also there to support me, when I lost Brenda and I supported Her and her family through several problems and when she left her husband after he went out on her. But Yes, I think they WOULD have like each other. And Hef, about the belated "thanks for the reply", no problem at all guy, better late than never, eh?   ;)     The Charger is treating Me just fine, getting ready to get it in, for a 1000,000 mile check up. Yeah, these trips to Georgia, are adding up.  :)

    Thank you for that. I am just SO Blessed, to have Her and SHE feels the same, about me. Oh yes, she is not only into the motorcycles, she is ALSO into the cars as well. And yes, I will have the GTX for Many years to come (Lord Willing) She wants to help me with the GTX too.In fact, I told her that I guessed I had better see about selling the Dakota (440 6Pack) project, as I had several (too many, in my opinion) projects, BUT SHE said that she didn't want me to HAVE TO get rid of ANY of them.  8) Now, is THAT cool, or what?  ;)
