Leaving Friday AM for a rally in North Carolina. 3 days only, but, I look forward to some good , no schedule riding with good friends myself.

Steven Kings "11 22 63".

The M&P compact is really nice, My wife carries the 9mm version. I have an XD but prefer my .40 Walther PPS as the carry gun, despite its smaller capacity.

Complete Lefty here.

2 year old Border Collie, Jazzbo.

Well, d**n, I just turned 61. Lost all this weight, can't go swimming without breaking a dress code, and now I'm gonna croak. This is shaping up to be a bad day.

I expect I'm a bit older than most here, but grandkids (I have 4, all boys) can be strong motivators in their own way, and pictures do speak loudly. For years, I had rationalized away my weight gain to age, work, or anything else that seemed to make sense at the time. Subsequently, I went from being a very active,…

Pro.

Can't go wrong with the SV. Good bike, good power, handles well. Motards are a total blast to ride and fun for running around and shorter duration rides. They are great to have but I found not a great ONLY bike to have if you like to do longer rides. I just sold my Ducati Hypermotard 1100s and got a Multistrada 1200s.…

I might be closer to upper middle than middle aged, but I really like the way you guys think and conduct business!!

Yeah, I remember 40! Hit 61 two days ago, and my weight hit where it was at age 30. Doing great, all good.

Bought a new bike last week. Ducati 1200s MTS.

Couple years ago, I looked at all 3 and brought the Camaro home. 2010, 2SS, 426hp, 6 speed manual. Great car.

There is a Tennessee Group on here you can check out. Myself, Chattanooga area.

105 forecast today, 107 tomorrow.

Congratulations! Keep it up, you'll get there. I'm 61, and down 54 toward a 70 lb goal.

Total lefty here, in all sports and activities, except golf. I had an uncle who coached me in the sport early on who put a right handed club in my hands and refused to let me play left handed, and it stuck. My parents, kids, grandkids, all right handed.

Just signed up with this group. Been in East Tennessee most my life, and live in the Chattanooga area. .

Can't say I qualify as an old fart, but I will be 61 soon and after 6 months, am well on my way to meeting weight loss goal.

I did a lot of the good ones. 64 out of TN, 76 out of Hiwassee, GA, Warwoman out of Clayton, Rts.107, 28, and some twisty stuff in SC that I have no idea what they were. 432 miles, safe, light traffic, perfect weather, no problems, and I got to touch base with some old friends. Great day.

My 2010 Camaro

Carry gun is a Walther PPS, .40 cal.

East Tennessee.

Will do, and wish your friend a complete recovery.

Oops. I'll try the Cagiva again.

MIne. The '99 Cagiva has the Ducati 900cc 2 valve F.I. engine from the Monster.

My Motorcycles, Making things in wood and metal, Also enjoy target shooting.

Sorry to hear that. I crashed coming out of the Double 90's. The bike took a much worse beating than I did.

I haven't got the video to open yet but I'll figure it out. I raced for a VERY short time(couple races only), but the expense and a crash at Talledaga put an end to it. I was fortunate it didn't hurt me too bad but I did take the bike home in pieces, so continued with trackdays. I've been too out of shape to do them the…

Thanks, for the input! I agree . I'll work on the oxidation, Make sure it's safe and just ride it. Ditto on the kick start . Do it wrong and you get an 850cc kickback thru the bottom of your foot. Ouch. Good weekend, here. Got the Duc out for a short ride . Took the long way to the gym!
