Recent events in my life have changed my way of thinking. I have decided to return to BA to add my wisdom and style of humor. For those who dont like it they can put me on ignore cause thats where I will be putting them. There has been many here who expressed their sorrow when I left and only two that appeared to be happy. Life is too short. I am back and short of being barred or removed you are stuck with me. Even if my shed smells like rice!

People will come up to you when they haven't seen you for a while and say straight to your face "good to see you back" Why they don't walk around behind you and address your shoulder blades when they say this I just don't understand.

errr thanks guys for the good welcome. I was expecting far worse but maybe thats yet to come hehehe. As for new acquisitions I can only imagine you are referring to my Mighty Super Commuter but that is not new anymore. I will post some pics later today as I have some stuff to do. Sorry Richard but Im gonna keep you in suspense for a little while. Thanks again for getting me those stickers and patches.  The link for payment you gave me is an email address I think for Moe but he hasnt got back to me.

Nice collection, but I have to ask, is that an auto tire on the Rocket? Just curious, there was some discussion some months back among Rocketeers in the other bikes section, interesting.

Yes it is a car tyre. I think they call it the "darkside" when you run a car tyre on a bike. Apart from the obvious saving in the cost and the frequency of replacement, I reckon it actually handles better this way and sure does look cool in my opinion.

Wow!!! I'm impressed. So either you got a great paying job or you're cooking meth. The latter being a reference to Breaking Bad (one of my all time fav shows).
Cheers, Richard

Well I did get a good paying job but unfortunately I hate it. I gave up cooking meth after I blew up my SUV in the desert. Love that Breaking Bad too.
Seriously though, I bought that Rocket early last year when I stumbled across it at a stealership. It was on consignment and was fifteen grand. It is a 2005 model with a bunch of extras ie chrome sidecovers etc and it only had 1750 kilometres on it. The original owner got terminally sick soon after buying it and now needed the cash for treatment. Too good of a deal not to buy it and the dealer even through in a new helmet cause no one was buying bikes.

Awesome deal with the rocket. I think most of us hate our jobs. I would guess that less than 5% actually enjoy their job. I have sent a PM regarding the patch payment.

Gentlemen, let's show some love. This song probably represents his true feelings of his soft landing back here at BA.COM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmaKSpTIJzI&feature=related

Ya know Bryn, I don't think that recording charted very high over here in the States, and thus I don't recall it. (...hmmmm...so I take it "Peters and Lee" must have been your version of "The Captain and Tennnille" over there, eh?!)

Ya know Mac, Kenny's song there IS quite beautiful alright, however I'm thinkin' here that IF Steve had instead finally decided to start revisiting our little "home" around here in December, THEN your suggestion MIGHT make some sense. (...'cause dude, THAT is a freakin' CHRISTMAS song!!!!)

Who?
I guess you blokes over there never heard their biggest hit, huh?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFtbgpKAmTM
It was number one on the U.S. Charts in '75, and actually won(believe it of not) the Grammy Award in '76 for "Record of the Year".
(...yeah, it's lightweight, but ya gotta admit it IS a catchy little ditty!)

Dwight, don't be politically incorrect, it's a HOLIDAY song! Besides, I love that song.

Thank you for the musical welcome yall although your tastes in music are rather quite strange. If I may offer a jingle to announce my return I believe it would go something like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQSk0CYPvwE
