2012 Getting ready to ride again!
« on: February 01, 2012, 01:48:47 pm »
I am working on trying to get ready to ride again this year.  So, what time frame are we looking at this time?  Is everyone excited to see me again?  Did you miss me?  Discuss.  ;D

Really?  Who are you?
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Oh, TipperT.  Don't pretend that you don't know me.  We have met, in person, no less.  When did you change your screen name?  And are you going to get to ride with us this time?

I guess my sig gave me away.  Changed the name a month or two ago, just for fun.  I met Greenjeans this last Saturday.  I dunno about the ride but maybe.  Maybe I can get a rider number this time without too much trouble.
