I'm an addict, I'll admit it. I check BA three or more times daily. It's a weakness I know, but I'm trying to make it five times or more. Please forgive me.
That being said, in the last two weeks I've only been on maybe three times. I was called back to my Arizona home due to the passing of my Mother. Since the funeral, I've had to drive back to Virginia with her cats (which I inherited) and some furniture. With all the issues of the funeral, clearing out her house (my Dad passed away years ago) and the three day drive (which I DON'T recommend) I have to now try to catch up on what I missed.
Can anyone tell me in short form what's been going on here lately? I'd check myself but I have to get back to work tomorrow.
PS: the ordeal had a good side. I hooked my Brother in law on Triumphs, he'll be a speedy owner in the near future!
Remember; no matter where you go, there you are.

That's some tough duty. My condolences to you (and the cats). Check out all the recent near misses and the chain guard issue to feed your BA addiction.

Thank you all.
Motorcycle therapy is certainly in order, going to take more than one tankfull to clear this head.
Now off to catch up (and hopefully the boss won't notice!)

My condolences as well.
And all you missed was some gratuitous Harley-bashing and a really cool Ural ad.
He was fun while he lasted.

Sorry to hear about your mom!! We finally had the burrial for my Nana saturday, and my parents and sister are having a tag sale at her house tomorrow to hopefully sell off some books, etc. Oh yeah and her 150 broaches. No kidding. It's a tough time, especially seeing what my parents are going thru from afar, but hopefully you can get a ride in with the sun at your back! Be well.

My condolences on the passing of your mother, Nick.
Be well.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Well, John...I WASN'T going to mention that, but now that you brought it up, maybe it COULD help Nick in his time of sadness(as you so nicely said) "put a smile on his face".
(but then again...you DO realize that reading my stuff could just put him right over the edge into a deep depression, don't cha???!!!...just ask Phil and the Mods about THAT, if you don't believe me!!!)

Sorry to hear about your Mom's passing Nick. Bring the cats by, we'll let the dogs "play" with them. You won't have to bring them back to your place that way.
Regards,
Tom

My condolences to you Nick. I lost my Moms in March, and for the first time in my life, have had insomnia ever since. Maybe it's a "The Irish and their Dear old Muthers thing? I don't know.
