Take care of yourself Max. I hope you're able to comfortably join your fellow WA thumper riders for the Ash Run. I know I'm doing everything I can to be able to make the trip from Dallas to Oklahoma/Arkansas that weekend and I just have some slightly torn tendons in my elbow.

How to condense this to a readable post... I'm 37 (38 in July), married, 5 kids (ages 2 to 12). I buy and sell stuff all the time, as a hobby. Also have a day job (see below). Most wonderful wife in the world is a labor/delivery nurse and like to ride bikes as much as me - maybe more.

We currently have 4 bikes in my garage: 98 Savage, 96 YZF600, 2000 Shadow600, and 78 GS1000. All run great.

We currently have 4 cars in the driveway: 64 Impala, 73 F100, 04 Suburban, 04 Impala. All run great.

Too many firearms to count - really. All work great, well the ones I've used anyway.

I love to wrench on cars/trucks/bikes, reload ammunition, ride, shoot, and hang out with the kids (10 yr old is a good rider/driver and an exceptional shot with his Browning Buckmark 22).

The two older kids and I play "shoot the can" with an old daisy red-rider BB gun for hours on the weekends. Cheap, quiet, harmless fun. Keeps us skilled at using open sights.

I'm an engineer for GM at the full-size SUV plant in Arlington TX, got 6 good people working for me. Don't mention firearms at work, it scares the Detroit corporate people. I guess they never go downtown...I wouldn't go to downtown Detroit without a choice of firearms, all loaded up.

BTW: Texas Concealed Handgun License is honored and considered legal in Michigan. Thank you, MI.

Ditto on the firearms thing I love my browning 303 and 357 most. 8) The 357 is what an intruder would meet I do not believe in second chances for a crook. Angry

It's nice to find so many LS650 devotees. I bought one for my wife's first bike, and tried it out just for fun. I found out that fun was exactly what it was. I have a 1100cc Yamaha myself, which by comparison is like driving a two wheeled car (good for long runs, but not exactly fun). The s40 on the other hand is like the bikes I learned on. Uncomplicated, and ... well, fun!

I used to have a bolt action .30/30 Savage... prefer my octagon barrel model 67 Winchester (Canadian Centennial edition, fairly rare stateside) saddle carbine lever gun.

My Savage motorcycle is TOO small and TOO light... time to somewhat "unchop" it. Stretched frame, full rear fender, Indian Chief luggage rack... chop was fun, I now need function.

Ditto the 357. I actually like the handling of my old Savage 12 ga. better than the Remington 1100 12ga. The Savage just handles so much better due to the light weight and balance, sounds like the bike too!

Sorry about the confusion on my handle, now that I'm on my third one. Started with REBSLB13 - too cumbersome, then Ronnie B - realized Hey! I'm not in high school anymore! (by about 40 years) Short round is the old Army handle. Thought I should explain a new name with whatever number of posts I have. Roll Eyes

I'm a little late to this, but here we go.

I'm 36 years old. I have five ferrets, three cats, one husband and no kids.

My S40 is my first bike -- got it in February, took the MSF in March, and have put a bit over 500 miles on it so far.

I'm originally from Brooklyn, NY -- hubby and I moved to northeast Georgia in '98. I work the overnight shift in a word processing department in an Atlanta law firm, and if I have any down time at work I'll check in here and, if I think I have anything interesting to say (or don't care how boring I am Roll Eyes

), I'll post.

And... uh... yeah, that's about it. Exciting, no?

Most mornings after I get up, I sit in my recliner with my cup of coffee and review what's going on in this part of the world and a few other sites. Ususally, like today, there are quite a few folks hanging around the site. I began to wonder about this. Yea yea, sometimes I just sit around wondering, and occasionally get lost as well. Anyway, I was wondering if a lot of you frequenting this place are RETIRED, as I am, or are you just really good at managing your time (unlike me) and are able to do this and as well as work, and family, and etc.?

Im 22, working, I just happen to be a WebDesigner/IT Engineer, so have access to the Net almost 247,
