I know most, if not all of ya'll, don't remember me but I used to post on this website back in the day occasionaly. About 14 months ago Uncle Sam gave me a paid vacation around the world so I was out of touch for awhile. Well, after settling back down I'm back in the saddle... on the bike and on the website. The bandits still going strong... you wouldn't even know that she was tucked away for about a year. Started right up when I got back.

Anyways, just wanted to say "Hey" to all. Ya'll might be seeing my name around when I want to give my little opinion on this and that for whatever it's worth.

On a side note... just got my bike back today from the shop. Just had a new front tire put on it... Pirelli Diablo... dam what a difference it makes! Hadn't ridden it very long yet and still need to brake it in, but geeze... never knew the bike could handle like that!

I gotta post up for the hardwork and dedication of military folk. Thanks for all ya'll do.

I know one thing for sure, the man has his priorities straight, gone for a year and one of the first things he does is go for a ride. Gotta love it.

Ironicly, that's basicly what I did. The morning after I got home I went to where my bike was stored and pulled out my bike. Then my dad and I went on a ride to get rid of the old gas. Fun times.

Hey guys, thanks for all the

. It means a lot to me. It was an experience that I won’t ever forget. I had the oppurtunity to get to know a lot of good guys, got to see a lot of crappy places… It gives you a perspective that not to many people my age have... I’ll just say this… the women of this country better be dam glad their living in the US. I can’t tell you how many times I saw the males sitting on their haunches while the females worked the field. Then at the end of the day the guys walked back to their shack while the women carried the load back. I know there’s a picture floating around the web of a “man” walking down a road while the lady is carrying this heavy load behind him… well, I saw that so many times… you can’t exactly get away with that here. It’d be nice though. If I ever get married, that’s going to be on the wedding vows… you do all the work while I just sit here… Yeah, I can get away with that I think…

One more thing... took my first long ride with my new front tire... dam! That's all I have to say. I was taking turns going about 20 mph faster then I usualy do without even thinking about it. Could have gone a whole lot faster but I didn't want to push it.
