If I am really working on it - Water

If I am going to ride it any time that day - Water

If I am hanging out, cleaning and puttering - beer (had a keg in the garage last weekend)

Wine - never had a glass

Coffee - never had a cup

Energy drink - never had one

Soda - haven't had one in over 2 years.  I use to drink over a case a day.  It mad me fat.  Well that and eating too much and being lazy but I prefer to blame it on the soda.

PBR because I can get a case of 30 for $15.

Didn't think any "imported" beer would be cheap there. 

BTW - when I visited  Oahu, I rented a Honda motorcycle and rode around the island.
Went to Sunset Beach (waves too big to swim!) and cliff diving at Waimea Falls. 
Loved it.

I was last in Oahu in 2004.  While there I rented a HD Fatboy.  It was $80 for a day!!  It was a great way to see the island.  Going back next year and plan to rent a bike again.  Also plan to go on a shark dive and cant wait to go.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Where you been Schmitty?

Life has taken over recently Stev-o. Been taking care of my mother who is terminally ill and getting ready for another rugrat to arrive. Circle of life continues Stev-o.  I pop in when I can get some time...(need the comic relief!  ;)). Still riding the faithful K6 when I get time. Other than that, all's well.

Sorry to hear about your Mom, I can relate, I lost mine earlier this year [and my Dad last year]. Cherish the time you spend with her.

Another rugrat? You have been gettin busy!

Take care amigo, visit us when you can....

I don't know how to respond to you anymore, we seem to be going in circles.  If your ever down in Raleigh, I'll take you for some good beer, ok? 8)

This is all in good humor, I hope it came across as that.

I would be honored to grab few with you  :)

Or maybe you travel to Northern Virginia sometimes?


Beer taste is very subjective, you really can't tell someone their favorite beer taste like piss
(Well, you can but that's pretty rude!)

Europeans have much different opinions than most Americans, prolly why 70Cb prefers his beloved Czech beer (I bet it's good)

A lot of Americans love Aussie Fosters beer, most Aussies won't drink it! Subjective.

I can only repeat,that all my comments are in teasing and friendly spirit and were not meant to offend anybody.
I will drink anything and more so in good company  ;D ;D

I hope your happy with this 70CB750. I know it wasn't one you listed but I thought of you when I bought this 8-)

I have learned that RUI - restoring under the influence - can be very expensive so all non-alcoholic beverages will apply. However, sitting back and admiring my handiwork deserves a cold beer or a glass of red wine.  ;D

Bend, OR Boneyard Brewery RPM IPA.  If you are an IPA fan this one should be on you list.
