    Default i am at a crossroad

    60 days from now my wife gets her bonus so she has given me 2 choices. 1 i can have a motorcycle. 2 i can have a t bucket kit. now i really have missed my harley since i sold it but i would be getting a metric bike. then again i have been sitting on a 871 blower kit for 5 years and i t bucket begs for a blower. so you see my dilemma. what to do?

    what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that allow me to do with things that would be a nightmare for people like you.

    Well from experience, I know the feeling of the love of riding... the freedom, the wind in my hair..... etc, etc, etc..... but But, as you know, I sold my bike.... its just getting to dangerous out there.... My body is not what it used to be, and riding anymore than 15 minutes started to hurt in places I wasnt aware could hurt. And finally, people are progressivly become worse drivers.... less carefull, more distracted, and those on two wheels, will continue to face new challenges of dangers ahead of them on every road.... texting, laptops, etc....

    I see bikes every once in a while, and I think for just a moment.... I miss mine. Then I realize, Im in my vette... with NO AC, no WIPERS, and recently the top off.... and I think. MY BALLS ARE DRY, and MY ASS CRACK IS NOT SWIMMING.... THiS IS SOOOOO MUCH BETTER! And although my ass is only wrapped in fiberglass, I feel safer than on those two wheels, hiding in someones blind spot.

    I wish you the best with making this decision, however I know it was not to long ago, I faced the similar decion... I made it, and I DO NOT regret it....

    PS- Can I have the next bonus she gets?


    PSS- Im kidding, you got a great lady their bro... see you in 20 days.....
