    You better act fast or you'll end up like my in-laws that still have their 40 year old son living there without a job. What is with kids now days, I couldn't wait to get a car when I turned 16.

      Then when Tod and Kat stopped by and I heard the pair of XS's roaring off into the distance, that pretty well sealed my fate.

      I wondered if I pissed off the neighbors by slinging gravel all down your road. BUT.. hearing of some of your neighbor run-ins... I was pretty sure you didn't care what they thought! lol. I was honestly more worried about your wife seeing how the people you ride with actually ride, and banning you from our little gatherings.. lol.

      See you soon.


      And Jeremy...

      I imagine so.. since you probably had to drive hundreds and hundreds of miles to find one to go EVEN THOUGH you had a new car.

        My neighbors are eternally pissy anyhow. I can't even mow the lawn without pissing someone off.

        So, I sling gravel all over and make lots of noise any time I can. Especially if it is about 4 or 5 in the morning. I just don't do that if any of the neighborhood kids are present.

            So as they were all diving out of the way like Moses parting the Red Sea, I should have been more careful?

                  Hey Ivan,

                  I went through a major crash/recovery in the early 70's. ya like my body was young then. Take it easy and let life happen - enjoy the 1100 and get back to normal.

                  Take Care!
