    Hi fellow Viffers! I'll try to keep this short?!?! I'm 66 and have been riding for 45+ yrs. I'm retired from the GE plant in Bloomington In (31yrs) My first bike was a 1956 Triumph T120. Never had it on the road though. My first "road" bike was a 1956 Maico 250cc scrambler. In 67 i rode a 56 HD KHK (preceded the Sportster) from Angola In to Cal & back-Whew that was an adventure!!!!! My current rides include (by yr) 1978 BMW R100/7,1990 Yamaha FJ1200 with Givi luggage,1996 VFR750(my latest purchase) and finally a 2003 HD Sportster XL1200S. I think it's a wonderful spread of bikes,engine types,& technology. As far as the VFR goes it's a pristine 13,000 mile beauty. I have removed the stock mirrors and installed a pair of CRG barend mirrors & a K&N filter. About the only other addition will be a Staintune hi-mount slipon when money allows. I look foward to chatting with you folks in the future. Hmmmm,wasn't so short was it! LOL Paul (mosickledude)

    Welcome aboard, Paul. That was pretty short for guy that has ridden 45 years! I have bicycle through your neck of the woods, and it is pretty, and the Corning, NY area is very nice. Do you ever get back?
