I hate selling vehicles.

I always get attached to them and although I am getting better about it, I always hate handing over the keys.

I bought the 2006 R1-SP 50th Anniversary new in the crate in March of 2006.

I still remember driving it home after they put it together. It was cold as shit and the dealer was like 25 miles from my house. Froze my ass off.

It only had a couple hundred miles on it when I did all the mods. It was a sweet bike if I do say so myself...

Oh well.

Long may you run, R1. Long may you run.

No liquor was involved. :cheers:

After getting laid off over a year ago, I came to the conclusion that having a unique last name that can show up in internet searches done by potential employers is not a very bright idea. So a name change. I haven't been here for over a year either. Looks a little different!

Indeed.

I always thought Vincent Hill was putting quite a bit out there too, LOL.

I don't mind internet acquaintances knowing my name but I don't post it for the very reason you state. I know it is pretty common for many employers to do internet searches as part of the background investigation and while I don't post anything I'm ashamed of in the least, my personal life is none of my employers business IMO.

Ahhh, signs of the times. Big Brother is watching and you gotta stay one step ahead.

I removed the reference above just in case...

So XPLORZ, are you and "ole yeller" gonna show any interest in the possible fall rally? BTW, don't tell her I called her "ole yeller", she'll kick my ass!

It would be good to see you both again.

NOW....why would you go & say something like that? :) :)

As "the other half" said we won't be joining you Westerner's this fall, but surely hope to possibly see you all in the following year!

Blitz - I also extend my thoughts of understanding/sympathy....handing over the keys (or reins) to someone else is always tough.

Miss you all!
Ride safe & have fun.

Good to hear from you Shiela and by the list of bikes currently in the stable I assume you no longer got to be yellow, LOL!
