New from Alberta - yes, we still have snow.
« on: March 14, 2007, 08:38:41 PM »
Hi Everyone,

I found this site two years ago when we bought our bike.  It's been great knowing I can pop in and find what I need when I need it.  High time I said a formal hello to you all!

If I had a snowblower I could ride to the end of the alley, turn around real careful like, and ride back.

Thanks.  My wife and I.

 She rode as a kid and we both started with street bikes a few years ago.  She also thinks I look better with the flames all around my head, so I'm not sure if this support of motorcycling is because she loves me or is trying to kill me.  Sadly, she's afraid of our bike due to some early issues getting to know it's innate character and because she can't touch the ground with flat feet.  She wants something newer and lower and I still love the thing.

If it's any consolation we had snow today on our side of the mountains. It had cleared by this afternoon and there were some stalwarts out riding.

Welcome, Pete.  I've had girlfriends prefer my hair one way or another, with specs or without; however, I've never had one say, "Hon, you'd look great with flames coming out of your head!" ;-)
