Does this mean that Harley has mastered the "Cloaking Device"????
Who'da thunk that the key to it all was insufficient vibration???
Or is it all the fringed leather and conchos?????

47, married 25 yrs, bought the silver 02 B12 for our 25th last summer. We have 3 kids, two girls 22&20 and little mark who is 11. Mark is a special needs child with the skills of a 1 yr old.

I started out as a machinist, at some point switched to graphic design (print) and recently made another switch to social/faith work. I now work for a church based inner city mission helping homeless people experience meaningful work. We make furniture accessories.

Jim, I too work with people who didn't make it in mainstream education. Most of my students are over 40 and have experienced significant marginalization due to their learning disabilities.

Jim, your idea about putting together a music group called the Bandits has me worried. I recently heard about a bunch of guys who did something like that and they wound up dead and stuffed in their trunks.

Yeah, i walked by the resin dept and saw a box of the paxon. It was from the big E. I hate that shit. It cooks and when it comes out of the oven the gasses from it kill. The good thing is I just got a promotion from a machine that runs all paxon to one that only runs some. GOODBYE RASH!

oh wait

I'm 46, and trying to be 26 again (oh my achin' back). I've been a Mechanical Engineer for 8.5 years working mostly for a company that designs and builds all sorts of lifting equipment. Before that and school to get there, I was a guitarist in the Air Force Band at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH. That was fun, but after trying to look cool to a bunch of high school kids wearing a blue uniform for eight years, I decided to move on. I started riding around 1991. bikes include 1980 Suzuki GS550L, 1981 Suzuki GS1000G, 1987 Kawasaki Concours, 1986 Honda V65 Magna, 1985 Honda Shadow VT1100, 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200 and my soon to be 1995 Kawasaki GPZ1100. I have a fantastic wife of almost 17 years (June) and a very cool little 5 year old boy who can't wait to get a ride on a motorcycle (much to mom's dismay). Hobbies include motorcycle riding and playing guitar. I'm a christian and a deacon at First Baptist Church of Fairborn Ohio. Ok, I'm done.

Quote from: "B6mick"

Qualified linesman (electrical distribution low voltage and high voltage, underground with high voltage switching qualifications. But got bored, left the trade aint been back.
Qualified welder in Mig, Tig, Arc and Oxy welding. Again got bored with it and waking up in the morning and coughing up unhealthy oysters every day, aint been back.
Went to driving taxis in the bush. Liked the job but the missus of twenty years must have got bored with me.
So back, to the city, with nothing but the shirt on me back and a trusty FJ12, not wishing to go back to either trade, ended up motorcycle couriering.
Met the new missus referred to as the minister of war.
Worked at making fiberglass and carbon fibre parts and bits and pieces for bikes.
Worked in between jobs for a couple of years as a roadie, sound tech for rock and roll bands based in Melb. Good fun But its got me stuffed how I survived. No bloody wonder I'm half deaf. ( Loud pipe ya joking I can only just hear it)
Also worked at Motorcycle repair shops, and spent some time at a truck and car workshop in between trades and other jobs
Had a business in the early nineties building leadlight windows.
Now have a franchised courier run, which I share responsibilities with the minister of war i.e.: 1 day on next day off. Life don’t get much better than that.

So I have an ex wife and twin boys. The minister of war and her 2 girls, 2 dogs (both ride) and don’t refer to ua as the bloody Brady bunch, whe are a house keeper short as well as 2 kids.

Hobbies, arrr motorbikes.

Jeez Mate i'm exhausted just reading that! I think you deserve a break!
