    Congatulations Geezer,

    I did the same thing last year .... divorced 20 years and got married to the new missus. Kids grew up, one got married and the other works with me ...

      Congratulations, Tony!!
      I have seen your shop, and so I know you are a lucky guy.
      If you ever ride down this way, don't forget to send me a line first, so I can make some room for the two of you.

        Watch out for hell freezing over and pigs flying...

        Congrats Tony, wish you all the best.

        As for hell freezing over, it's already happened......

          She has seen my garage as well as my apartment. You couldn't be more right about how lucky I am... We'll at least stop and say hi if we ever make it that far south. She's looking forward to bike trips more than I am. I'm thinking maybe a tour down the Oregon coast for our honeymoon (I'm going to spring that one on her tonight...)

          BTW, are you looking for 6 gallon tank? I won't be using the one I have now that the 79 project bike is going to be parted out.

            Thanx.

            Now that hell has frozen over, should we be looking out for pigs flying?

              Tony,
              Yes, I am looking for a 6 gallon tank. I need to wait for a few weeks for the money, but please keep me in mind when the time comes. I will have to give you a call next time I'm up that way.

                I'll dig out the tank and PM you when I have some pix. I haven't looked inside it as it didn't come with a key. I'll pop off the petcocks and see how bad or good it is inside.

                        she knows all about me but loves me anyway and she has seen my place and didn't run away screaming
                        That's a good sign

                        Congratulations Tony,
                        having a "significant other" makes life so much sweeter...........

                          Sorry I'm coming in late on this one, Geezer... (Alien abduction again... you know how it is)
                          Truly great news!
                          Though most say that you are the lucky one... remember that it's she... who will soon have an Electrical Guru fixing things around the house.
                          Hell, Geezer... I'd even marry you just for that!(and that 6 gal. fuel tank)

                              Thanx and we have tentatively scheduled the big day for August forth.

                              She said how about in a year and I said how bout tomorrow. We met somewhere in the middle.
