There you have it...............nothing more needs to be said. Celebrate indeed.

I think it was 2005 or so when I asked what FTE meant on MotoTalk.........inspired ever since. Thanks.

Michael- you may recall I feel much the same as you about how to live out the rest...
"plan as if you will live forever...live as if you will die tomorrow"

Newmann- Thanks for the '11 thread link.

Carry on!

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. It's good to be around!

Outsider, never had a 300 Sad The 200 I put together after downsizing from the 525 was such a nice bike, had it right, but I found that I was getting too easily fatigued too quickly, and i felt unsafe and that it wouldn't be fair to my friends to get 10 miles into the boomies and then blow upl. i got a lot of good riding in after the surgery, including a couple of 500 miles rides from Reno to Vegas, but I'm afraid my seat time is over, at least on the dirt. These things happen. As Joe mentioned, need to finally finish the old red rocket together and that'll be my chance to brap a little bit and smell some bean oilman d burnt fuel. It's good,

Gotta swim through a lot of BS, but once in a while you find a gold nugget.

Great people here, threads like this make me proud to "waste" my time here once in a while....

Great post Michael and oh so true. Riding Motorsickles has defined us all and what separates us from what can be struggles in Life.

Anytime you are on two-wheels--Life is Good Smile

Michael,
Have you kicked around the idea of a mid-size streetbike?
There are some great options out there that opens up a whole new world.

Happy HeartDay FTE. Congratulations sir. You have certainly been a great friend, help and sympathetic ear to me.
I believe he told me that the pic was not his heart just a broken one that he was able to find on the internet.
