Hi it is cold and wintery right now in SW Pennsylvania (wish I lived somewhere year around warm). In any event, I am a motorcycle enthusiast - not a biker. I have to balance my love to ride with family obligations (wife and 3 great kids). Wife likes to ride occasionally too.

I have a 2006 HD Road King Classic with 95" BB kit and Andrews 26G cams (love the low end and it goes as fast as I should). Would love to meet other enthusiasts for weekend rides (when the weather breaks) and hope I can do so here.

BTW, don't buy the HD heated handgrips (mine failed after 1 riding season). I am looking to custom install Poly Heaters with some mircoswitches that give 4 modes of heating plus off. I'll let you know how this turns out.

HOWDY from TX! Is there any hidden signifigance to your handle? You can come on down here to Texas if you want. It's currently 40 degrees with some fog. Suppsed to hit 65 today and 70 tomorrow. We have a saying here -- if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes -- it'll change.

Hope you will join in the bull shit sessons.

I lived in Tx (Dallas) for 3 OF THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE (Semiconductor Enginner). Family circumstances keep me in the NE for now. No complaints - this is just were I am supposed to be for now. Mabye someday I will have the chance to return and enjoy Tx hospitality once again.

My oldest boy went to Australia for 3 week a few years ago with People-to-People. He really enjoyed the "Land Down Under" and had a wonderful time. One memorable experience he had was to perform an internal examination of a pregnant cow (shoulded to finger glove - in case you were wondering) - the farmer hosting the examination asked him the color of the calf.

I wish I could have gone - but NOOOO! I am the money guy. Oh well, mabey sometime.

You must have been with TI. I am in Sherman if you know where that is. My son works for Nortell in Richardson as a telecom engineer. My brother - in -law was with TI Paveway till he was sold to Ratheon. He is a production supervisor (I think) in McKinney now.

Hope you get back here again, soon. We have 2 more Texans in the group - Timbo is from Ft.Worth and Sozavac is from Houston. Don't hear much from them lately -- guess they are extra busy or all my crap has run them off.

Good hearing from you.

Since I don't type too well, I'll probably call you you R2T if you don't mind!

TI (short for Tiny Income). I lived in Richardson when Plano was still mostly a dirt field. I worked at TI and Mostek (when it was still around)

I do know where Sherman is.

In my latest career is a patent attorney, I have had chances to return to the bid D in this capacity but have had to decline (again for family reasons).

R2T is fine- thanks.
