I do what I want and what I like and as along as I am happy, that is all that matters.

Good attitude. I picked up my CBR1k when I was 62, and heard the same thing many times. Along with, "Why didn't you get a Harley?" No use trying to explain if they have to ask.

I am with you there about a Harley, rode 1 of my friends and didn't like it. Never will own one and have no desire but my other option would be a FJR1300, throw the bags in the corner of the garage.

Happy Birthday TimBucTwo!



The finals of the National Poetry Contest last year came down to two finalists. One was a University of Alabama Law School graduate from an upper crust family; well-bred, well-connected, and all that goes with it. The other finalist was a redneck from Auburn University in Alabama.

The rules of the contest required each finalist to compose a four-line poem in one minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word "Timbuktu."

The Duke graduate went first. About thirty seconds after the clock started, he jumped up and recited the following poem:

"Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked the dusty caravan.
Men on camels, two by two
Destination-Timbuktu
."

The audience went wild! How they wondered could the redneck top that?

The clock started again and the redneck sat in silent thought. Finally, in the last few seconds, he jumped up and recited:

"Tim and me, a-huntin' went.
Met three girls in a pop-up tent.
They was three, we was two,
So I bucked one and Timbuktu
."

Cheers, SB

You probably should sell your 94 to me.... nothing like having twins for my 58th B-Day
