      Welcome,

      Looks like you have it bad too.. Congratulations!

      Sounds like you're starting out with a couple of pretty nice bikes.

      The search feature will become your best friend...

      Don't forget pictures. If you don't allready have one get a photodump account set up. It's free. Most everyone here uses it to get photos up here.

      I have a cousin living in Littleton. Used to own Denver bait and tackle over in the area of the old airport. Way back he used to ride a 650 Triumph. Probably was that first little ember planted in my mind about riding a bike.

                          Hey! I don't bite!

                          However, I think Vincer might, if left unattended too long... Then again, he'd probably just nibble on your ear a bit...
