Holy crap! Anyone feel the earthquake in Reno? 4.7! That's a big one for us. Centered about 4 miles from my house.

Thats a pretty good one to be that close to. I remember the 7.0 1989 quake in the bay area. We were far enough away it didnt hurt anything at our place but still shook pretty good. I was 10 but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Only bike I have had is my 73 sportster. Think I have had almost every bolt out of it by now and some a few times. Its been a project but think I finally got the kinks worked out now and I pretty much know it inside out and I have learned alot from it! I got it on my week leave from Iraq from my second father so it means quite alot to me. I would like to get a newer HD eventually for longer rides. I have CTS and neck and shoulder problems from the army, basically my hands and arms fall asleep alot, and the vibration from the old bike kills me but damn its fun to get out and ride :)

I remember my first bike like it was yesterday. Kawi ninja 250. Given to me when I was a senior in high school. Had a blown head gasket. Got it all fixed up and rode it to school one morning.. The ticket I received was no license, no reg, no insurance, no helmet and speeding in a school zone. Had a helmet, just left it in my first hour class. The buildings were about a 1/4 mile apart. Figured id jump on and go from location to location instead of walk.. Sold it the next day for 2500 bucks to pay the ticket.

This is killing me! Two of my cousins and two of my brothers are all at bow camp this week. Why does work always have to get in the way....life I guess.

Tough times Timber. Could always try being in such a bad mood at work that they will tell you to please go hunting and come back happy;) Im really itching to go hunting too but mine dont start till 10/1. I really want to back pack in the high country. I haven't for 2 years, this year will be 3, and I am really missing it. Not that I have been very successful in terms of killing anything in it but it was a great experience every time:)
