    Oh Hai!

    thanks for the nice comments, you guys!


    Hi kaia!
    Thanks for coming back and posting that stuff.
    3526!
    That feels about right.
    Guess I can go delete all the oatmeal and chuffing pics from Lightroom now. :lol3



    haha, 3032 3036 smilies!
    I love them. I wish I could hand them out in real life.
    easier than making an actual expression or saying more words. :D







    Just in case you guys were missing me, I dug up a Tarako Christmas video.
    This ought to make you feel better...:evil





    Happy Holidays!

    Hope Santa brings you everything on your list...

    A motorcycle coozie of the highest order.

    None of my bikes have ever been clean enough to even consider that treatment, unless the yarn used was brown, black and dark grey.

    Hey Wans,

    That last post was just classic Kelly! I clicked on ALL the clips and it was just a smorgasbord of entertainment.
    Thank You!

    Particularly liked the "Ding, Fries are Done".


    When I was in college I worked at a Burger King. I stayed in the back and made sandwiches and fries. Our fry vats were automated. To "put fries down" you hit a button that lowered the baskets, and then timed the fry cycle. When the fries were done, it automatically raised the fries and gave 5 or 6 audible beeps to let you know that they were done. While working there, I lived on campus in a dorm that was made of concrete block. The sound traveled right through those walls. My next door neighbor had an alarm clock that HAD THE EXACT SAME TONE as the fry vat timer. No shit, five days a week I'd get roused from my alcohol and THC induced slumber by my neighbor's alarm clock ....and the first thing I'd think for the day was "Shit, the fries are done"!

    So I really got a good chuckle out of that. Ding, fries are done......... ding, fries are done ............ ding, fries are done ...... :lol3

    Thanks for all the first class entertainment this year! :D

    Happy Holidays!

    Thank you sooo much for this fantastic ride report! I love your style in the report Little Wan and both your abilities as riders is (are?) amazing. I used to think I was all that till I read this RR. You two ROCK!!! Thanks also for taking my mind off of my new fiberglass leg cast for the last four days. Congrats on the anniversary, I can't think of a better way to celebrate one!

    Merry Christmas Wans!


    May all your rides be an adventure.
