I miss you too, Phil. As a matter of fact, I just searched your ID for recent posts to make sure you haven't forsaken the assembly. Best to you Brother, and hope you get a break soon. Give Janet a hug for me & tell her I said, "Hi". Perhaps you'd like to give her a hug from YOU first.
Maybe I can get you a pipefitter union card and you can join me, working 4-7 months a year.
Ride Safe,
Dennis
Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

We, Kimmy and I, as still alive as well, just been really busy with my 1972 T120 and "BritBike.com"...I lurk here alot, and often post, and contemplate telling our "story" that happened to us leading up to June of last year, but don't think this is the appropriate venue. Lets just say me and Kimmy had some very hard times, and no marriage that I know of would have survived. It was all part of a bigger plan that God had for us, and our lives have changed dramatically since we have turned our marriage, and lives over to Christianity. We now have different interests as far as "rallys" go, but my interest in bikes has fluorished since I got my T120. We have been blessed with friends of the caliber never known to either of us, and are enjoying our new lives as a Christian couple and family. Being a "new" Christian, unfortunately, has placed a giant "target" on our backs for the enemy to continuously fire arrows at, in an attempt to "take us out", like he nearly did last summer. We just arm ourselves with the weapons provided by God, and all in all are doing great, better than ever in our 18 years together... We are looking into joining our Church's motorcycle group, the "Ridge Runners". Im sure we will be the only Triumphs in the group, but looking forward to it.. Our Church is HUGE, and has dozens of bikes parked out front on any given Sunday...Im still involved in 2 separate programs at the Church that are helping me "recover", and my progress is excellant. I share my story with other members in peril, and we all feed off of each others compassion and desire to survive in this on going "War" that's going on all around us, all of the time. Loving my new life and looking forward to the springtime!!!

Well, let's see here. In the above I see references to "Weapons", "Arrows" and "War", and so sorry Mark, but I have to ask ya somethin' here...Are you absolutely SURE that you've found some measure of "PEACE" in your life now, dude??? 
Okay, like I said, sorry I asked, but you HAVE to remember what a JERK I AM, right???!!! 
 
(I actually REALLY hope the best for you and Kimmy in the future!) 
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)

Are you referring to the christian part or the T-120/Britbike part? 
(that said, that's about enough religion talk, too)

Thanks for checking in with us Phil. Been worried about you Bro', but didn't want to pry.
We'll ride when this is over.

That's great Mark and Kimmy! God Bless you both. But you don't have to stop coming to the rallys. There's a few Christians scattered in amongst the beer guzzling heathens like Dwight and Yota. Think of the opportunties to try and save their souls. Can't wait to see pictures of the T120.

You know I meant "heathen" in the kindest sense of the word, Dwight. Just like FJ calls us all idjuts

Way to go Mark. Remember, temptation is not sin. Keep desire and opportunity away from each other. Learn to know the difference between conviction and sin. God will convict you of things that are detremental to your spiritual well being. Non-believers can never understand this.  Also know that with any honors bestowed upon you by man, Kimmy is your greatest glory - she is all the glory you get. Love her, honor her and take care of her. I still go to Triumph rallies, and I will drink a beer or 3 (ok, 4). Wait on your strength to build. You will meet many who confuse meekness with weakness - big mistake. It's not hard to live right. And that's about all I got to say about that.
Ride Safe,
Dennis
