As different as most of our lives are, I'm sure there are a lot of
common threads. I'm a member of way too many online forums and
mailing lists, and I find it funny how many people on the motorcycle
forums are also owners of Chevelles, Corvettes and even <gasp> Mopars!
The Mustang guys just don't have time to own anything else, too busy
trying to keep those FoMoCo's running.

Hey John; in California they call it spliting lanes and people are
used to more motorcycle traffic . ie. all year riding
weather .while in this neck of the woods if its not a tractor
trailor then they dont feel threatened . Just ride your bike like
you drive your Chevelle (El Camino) defensively. It's funny how
alot of us share the same interests other than our Chevelles :O)
stay safe. Jimmy C.

I brought home my 1981 Yamaha 650 twin today. The tank and covers are
freshly painted, new dual exhaust, new seat, and a new small
windshield. It
looks & rides great. It's fun to be on a bike again, although I
did see a
piece of garbage tossed out a window in front of me, a couple of
people who
didn't realize that only one vehicle is allowed in the lane at a
time and
mine is also a vehicle, and the usual impatient SUV drivers who also
terrorize regular cars, like the guy who tried to pass me on the
right while
I (we) was (were) making a left turn in busy traffic. An
interesting thing
about motorcycles is that every little thing that is problematic
about
driving a car is worse for a motorcycle. Proceed with caution
everybody, and
have a good time.
