    "Happy Birthday to PlaneDick"

    I always wondered about that name.
    I mean... was he a Sky Marshall or something?
    Was "Plain Dick" a carry over from when he was dating.. due to his lackluster performance?
    What's the story, here?

    Anyway... after his recent crash and idle threats to stop riding, it's good to see that he's still here... and still posting.
    And hopefully, there'll be many more posts (and birthdays) to come.

                          I guess Prom doesn't pay much attention to details, especially spelling, or maybe it's possible he can't spell. It's from the RC airplanes thing. I have many more crashes with them, but being an earthbound pilot, I never suffered from any of them. LOL Maybe I should ride my bike with RC controls and follow in a cage....

                                  I was sorry to read of your recent failed experiment with gravity and physics. I hope your are healing well. Its to bad we can't put your bike in a cast for six weeks and it would be all better.

                                      No cast 4 me

                                      No cast for The Pathfinder either. I'm all better now, no more pains and scabs. I just received the beginning of the parts for The Pathfinder and located all the other parts I need plus lots of options thanks to the group here.
