Welcome to the site, as you noticed, you cant say *****,*****,*****,*****,*****,*****, or ***** here. 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Lots to do with our active "non-official"group.So ...log on to where you live and pm me if interested in joining up...Bob..PS..2 of us have the same bike color combo..you would be 3(used to have 3 till conway failed the "Steves Curve")

Welcome back to two wheels! The new Triumphs are great, eh? I probably won't ever go home, once the weather cools off.

welcome Gunter- I'm in north Seattle and made the ride to Portland with the local group recently. Great people, they let me ride my Speedie with all those Americas, even! Great bikes, wrenching on mine is almost as much fun as getting in the wind.
ride when I can, work when I have to
