i've missed this place

[MATPOC]

I feel funny about recruiting, always thought this was a secret clubhouse, like a Fight Club, and handing out cards defeats the purpose...

Now, they won't want *anything* to do with the old man's friends and riding buddies, but maybe someday...

Have hope, EIF. Last weekend, my 8 year-old was with me alll day at Techday (a group of airhead geeks wrenching/drinking/BSing) and when we were driving home, he said he wants a red and black airhead and ride with the airheads and go to techday. Granted, the most fun he had was eating junk food, getting loaded on root beer and smashing beer cans with his head--helmet attached, of course. But hey, he's in--one of us.

[Rench]

Just to join in the threadjack, and by no means do I wish to impede the man's efforts, but, a front page would make us easier to find... And he's got a million things to do, along with, presumably, a real life. Anyone else speak the interwebz language to maybe give Joe a hand or something? I dunno, shots in the dark here.

oh cut it, you all had plenty of free time to reproduce, don't pretend now that your schedule is so tight.

SOrry, you all know I'll gladly help on any graphic chore but I gave up the internet trickery long ago enough to be completely useless.

Since I have girls presumably there will be boys and young men sniffing around in years to come and maybe one or two of them may have a genuine interest. Plus, the guys will find they have an easier time of riding over long distances after I have castrated them. At this juncture, one of my girls has interest, the other lacks the coordination and focus for a bicycle, let alone a motorcycle. There's always hope for the future.

[Zer0]

I only have boys, so my 2¢ is probably worth more like 1¢ here, but if I had daughters, I'd reallly hope they rode because chicks who ride are badass, and are more likely to intimidate & scare off the weenies and chauvinists, and attract another rider. They then breed and produce a whole family of riders. It only gets bettter from there for us by then grammaws and grampaws. All win. Invite women riders over and plant that badass seed!

I hope both my boys get lucky enough to land a nice bike rider.

(and Christ do kids take up all the time...)

Damn straight. I see it as a point of pride, that probably 95% of my yearly miles on two are commuting to and from work. Alot of people may see that as drudgery, but with little free time on weekends, you take what you can get. Bottom line, I gottta commute, therefore I chooose two over four. (And the utilitarian argument really has more gravity whenevver I'm accused by Frau Zer0 that I spend too much $$ on moto oparts and gear )

But yeah, hard as hell to run off for a weekend with li'l runts in your life.

[Groove]

Good to see you back here. I may have to freeze my ass again and ride down to DooM.

Anytime.

Welcome back!

[bullfrog]

The new mobile friendly format is what i've been needing. I'm rarely on a pc anymore... This is much better.

[Bigshankhank]

I forget, where in Tejas are you?

[bullfrog]

I was in Midland TX for the last couple of years. Back in Hobbs NM temporally.

[Bigshankhank]

Thats right, way out west on the Llano.
