I am still alive...kinda...

Hey Guys...

I know i kinda dropped off of the map a couple months ago. A lot of things changed not long after i picked up my XL185. First things first i moved to a new house with the fiancee. We moved from renting a bedroom in the old place to a full 2 bedroom basement suite which resulted in me gaining an office/man cave of sorts. During this transition i ended up hauling my bikes along with the Rat rod and the old Chevy C10 out to a friends place. Soon after all that we got married in July. After that i enrolled in the Harley Davidson Riding academy and passed it. Yesterday i took my licensing tests to get properly licensed for where i live and passed it. Now that i have gotten you all caught up with that stuff here is the other stuff. I ended up picking up a little Ford Ranger to run around town with to take some stress off of my Honda Odyssey as well as free it up for the wife to drive to work occasionally. Now that i am done rambling heres hoping i can get back to things and working on my bikes...On that note...there are possibly two more bikes on the way...One for sure..the other is an unknown at the moment. The for sure bike will make my fellow china riders grin...i looked at a 2008 Honda CBR125R yesterday. I'm just hoping it is still there when i get paid on the 12th.

Onward and upward from this point

congrats. Oh man was I nervous when I saw this title. You in a hospital bed was the first thing that crossed my mind. Good to hear it is only the slow painful death many of us endure.... Marriage

Just kidding Ive been married 20 years and it is great, just make sure you married your best friend and it will all be good.

Congrats on getting married and finding a new place; best of luck in the future.

Yea...the title can be a bit misleading my bad on that one. I was half dead from exhaustion when i typed it up. And yea i def get what you mean about the best friend part of it. I managed to luck out and do just that.
