Thanks Jan.
That is a great story. I love the area you are in, my mom is just a couple hours south of you in Morrilton. Glad to have you here, it is a great place to learn. The folks here are amazing at helping with any thing.
Thanks all of you for those welcoming words!
I will explore this site, always trying to learn something. Of course I knew it all when I was young and dumb. Now I figured that it is always something to learn. I ride sport-bike too and with the lack of wisdom I had when I started, I would be dead many times if I had not listened to the older dogs.
As you see of my name, I am a Norwegian. I have been in the US since 1992 and also lived in them Black Hills, SD for 4 years back in 1978-1982. Now we, my wife and I, live in your Nature State - AR - and love it.
Happy Thanksgiving to y'all!
