That's way harsh Zoot!!! My eyes glaze over if I try to read that
other newsgroup...."rec.Bikes-tech" or whatever that is. Truly Harsh.


But hey, my eyes glaze over when I have to listen to our computer tech
discuss our computers.

At a party, if anyone wants to rid themselves of me, all they have to
do is start talking about megabytes and ram.........I don't walk away,
I run.

But hopefully if I ever try to discuss my simple style of riding with a
very experienced rider, they will encourage my efforts. Hopefully.
