Either I've changed or the world has, or both.

I agree to both of you. I always thought I was getting old....

The "not my job" BS is really getting me mad anymore. I mentioned to my boss, and it went over his head... does not understand. The younger crowd don't know what werk is anymore. ..

Stan, did you find your speaker? You know you could get a 2 ohm and add a 3 ohm resistor in line. Don't need a large wattage.

Stan, all this talk about Honda's reminds me of when I was just a little kid. There was a Honda motorcycle shop just down the block from my house. I used to spend hours upon hours in there looking at the bikes and bugging the employees with a million and one questions. Once I was in high school the dealer moved down the street several miles ( probably to get away from me) , much bigger building. I ended up getting a job there , as a porter. After a while the service manager let me assemble a new bike, ( a CB 550 ) it was the first year of its release!.

Hahaha Chuck, great story. I had a CB550 which I have previously posted pictures of. It had 8 inch tube extensions on it with no change in rake. Ugh
I am interested in variety and I tried to explain to Tammy that multiple bikes serve the same purpose as multiple wives but for some reason that was not a popular analogy.
