Well, I'm tarred and can't stay awake any longer, so:
Happy One Year Anniversary to Moi as a member of this superb forum.
I've gotten much more out of yousick depraved alcoholic great people than I've contributed.
Let's see, I'll have nightmare dream about Bust's sheep, Mizz Bust's burden, Howie's whining, O'Vale and TWN's leaving, SFO and Michelle, GBlue's beer crimes, Tyler and Barb, Fred's subtlety, Odot's upcoming downfall, deer strikes, track dudes, oil, tires, air pressures, gasoline brands, suspension settings, buying and selling including used plugs and used tires, people's pets, all varities of youtube, Warchild's seven 1500 mile days, and Iggy's IBA rally. Oh, and I made it 12 months with Iggy only once crashing my sig and never a warn meter. I'll try to do better this upcoming 12 months by pushing more sensitive buttons.
Yep, more than one dream that included Tyler, Barb, Scoops, and/or MEM.
And then there's my bike and the atomic engine club. Thank gawd there's the Phoenix group. 33k miles in 9 months and I wanted to contribute 50k to the million mile push. Gonna have to get riding to make that up in Dec.
There were folks who went down or had an "ah shit" incident. Some hit forest rats, one hit a lil bunny, one hit a lil kitty, and one of our gals hit a big semi truck. We are reminded to trust no one in a cage, curse those who talk on phones or eat or put on makeup while driving. We feel paranoia seeing vehicles coming up from our rear. Everyone we see coming toward us in the other lane will definitely turn left in front of us. One member highly recommends a stebel air horn to be mounted somewhere on the outside for maximum warning decibels. Most of us wave either to other bikers, or in response to theirs.
There's those with a second, or third, or fourth, or a baker's dozen of other bikes in their hangars.
There's the variety of "other bike parts" farkles like fz1 mirrors and vstrom handguards. There are seat purchases and suspension upgrades that require a second mortgage on a home.
There's the forum members as vendors and those that are unmentionable.
Forum inventors provide us with highway pegs, horn harnesses, switch harness improvements, passenger floorboards, and paint repairs and powder coating/exhaust can caps/passenger backrests and luggage racks/who knows what else.
There's the increase the stock tank size and the auxilary tank projects. There was the naked FJR project.
SFO was a blast and I hope to make all or most of these Gatherings somewhere near me. Missed EOM for a variety of reasons, but will be there in '10.
Made lots of friends and laughed with many of you, cried with some, and gave a bit, but received much more as time went on. I had the occasional "bitch and moan" session with a few of you, but like men, we shook hands in cyberspace and moved on.
I'll say it again like I did last Mon Nov 30th:
paraphrasing Jackie Gleason at the end of all his variety shows: 'The Miami Beach audience is the greatest audience in the world! "
well "Feej riders are the greatest bunch of folks in the world"
Don da DCarver said it best then:
"The main reason I stay on this board - good peeps getting help and pooped on, appropriately."
many a post ended this way: Glad it ain't Friday !!!
a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night...
