[Tipys]

I have still to this day had only once when riding couldn't make me happy.






I will always remember that day. 08/02/2008\/\/\/\/\/\/

[jimwallace]

well if i could strap a shrink to the back of the bike and have them work while i rode maybe i could find an answer for all that ails me, but until then the bike is best for me.

Glad you got out and nice to have met ya, Jim. Ditto on the way riding can help to rearrange perspective.:)

An energetic run up your favorite road has more effect than any prescription ever can.

"Take 200 miles and call me in the morning."

Those who don't ride will never get it.

Nothing like the open road and the twist of the throttle to make you forget everything for a while. Here to things looking up for you man.

Are you the Jim I met at the long table in Estes?

[Tipys]

If he was about a foot taller then everyone there. I would say yes

It's funny that this thread came up. I had a conversation with a good friend last week about how people don't really understand how much riding actually helps. People kind of look at sport riders as a nuisance. Which is slightly frustrating. God I need to get my new bike...ugh...

[jimwallace]

Are you the Jim I met at the long table in Estes?
i sure am....the really tall guy that was sitting in the short chair at the tall table, looking like a little kid:yes: did anyone else follow that:wtf:

[Tipys]

So you were sitting at the kid table there jim

[jimwallace]

yep:music:I was all by my self, no one was looking.....i was all by myself:music:I went to your house,but no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself,
All by myself:music:

Have to say "Ain't that the truth!"

I finally got to dig my bike out last night just to run to the kids class I teach at church, my son rode with and we had a most excellent 20mi trip.

[64BonnieLass]

Hahaha, even in the short chair, you still cleared the tall table. Ha!

It was great to meet you and finally put a face with the name.

I'm glad you had a great weekend. It was good therapy for me too.

[Mental]

I rode today. It was nice, all the bikers were smiling and nodding at each other as we took our gear off in the M/C parking. A whole slew of folks who "get it."

[Brat]
