Well it's good to see not much as changed here on good ol AMS. Things
are going good here, and they just got better cuz Mom & Dad have RV'd
off to Alaska for the summer and left me the couch-rocket til
September. Here's a pic:

It is a 2002 Yamaha V-Star 1100. In case you're wondering if it's as
slow and cumbersome as it looks I say definitely not. It's actually
even slower and porkier than it appears. Still though, a free bike
is a free bike and it might come in handy this summer. I rode it
about 100 miles today taking the long way home. It took a while to
get used to the feeling of vulnerability on the freeway. Not because
I've been off the street for a while but because it has none of the
maneuverability and speed that a sport bike gives you.
So if any NW'ers are doing rides and don't mind a cruiser bringing up
the rear I'm game. Meanwhile I'm still loving the dirt, and have done
two races already this year. I am definitely improving and hope to
graduate from "suck" to "slow" this season.
Out for now,
Greg
