I have been very self involved the last 2 weeks.  I have made sure to read everyones posts and add my 2 cents when I could.  But I have just began hell month.

I was wooed back to the motherland (Alberta) to take on a new job.  I had  to decide to take the job, sell my house, buy a house and move all by February 1.  Man I love pressure.  Now I realize its my job to think what is best for my family………but this is the best place in Canada to ride a bike. (Despite the 3 feet of snow we have).  Alberta is flat and straight you can actually watch your dog run away for three days.  I am worried that it won’t hold the same thrill going for a two hour ride and being able to see where you are headed the whole time.  I need some encouragement here!!!!

As for being enlightened it is nice to see Skid Lid share the passion for the “rice cooker”.  I have to sit and be listen to the old boys (including me Dad) question me about why I like to look like I’m humping a football as I go down the road.  They don’t get it.  If you can’t feel it in the pit of your stomach when you here the scream of a inline going down the hiway you are never going to understand why we ride em.  I was sure that when I hit a certain age I would wake up one morning and just go and trade off my CBR for a touring bike with a side car.  Skid Lid has given me hope that I won’t out grow the thrill of my “rice cooker”.
