Tiger Woods got himself a girlfriend and took a 7 iron to the mouth. He forgot to get permission first.

His wife beat him silly before he got in the Caddy. Now I know where his profanity and club throwing skill come from, he learned them at home.

Do not mess with a scorned woman!

I bet Phil Mickelson is one happy golfer today.

Hi Craig,
You are the man! Looks like a beauty. Good luck with it and drive slow. As for Tiger Woods, seems that his wife was waiting for him with a sand wedge or maybe a putter when he returned home. Sounds like he crashed while trying to escape a marital beating. Will be intresting to see how this all plays out. George

PS I want your red fiat

Very nice. I have almost the same bike. Same color, same year but mine is the A model. It has the skinny front tire and the short rear fender. It's such an easy ride. Lots of integrated safty features in this bike. For example, you will never need to worry about taking off with the kick stand down. The bike will simply stall out when you release the clutch. They have even made finding nutral easy at slow speeds and practially shifts herself in nutral when you need to be there. Great breaks and a virtually hastel free motor with lots of tork. Unfortunatly, I find that the 800 only has enough power for a comfortable 75 MPH. You can push her further but, she simply isn't designed to go that fast. I find that she really starts winding at about 80 MPH and at 85 she's just no longer comfortable or fun. I think her top speed is rated at 90 MPH from the factory. Anyway, the best advice I've ever received concerning bikes is this. Keep both feet on the pegs and both wheels firmly on the ground. Every time I've fallen off a bike, I've been doing something that goes against this simple rule.
Congrats.

Hey Katsi,thanks for the info and advise.I wasnt looking for any particular bike,it just kinda fell into my lap.I really like the ride,though.I havent explored the upper limits of performance,but it cruises at a nice 75 mph.It is surprisingly good in the twistys,better than I expected! Everything I have read rates the bike highly and it is supposed to be very dependable.I changed the oil and seviced the chain today,routine maint. seems pretty easy.

You are right ... today -13F and getting colder every minute. A bit further north already -32F. It's still OK but if it goes below that I will have to take the dogs inside. And that will result to total destruction.
But here is nice memory from last summer when the sun was shining and life was good. Ride safe, ride free.

Thank you for asking. Well, first things first, I still have no work but I have some plans. Maybe I will get lucky.
Anyway we have been able to save some money and we are planning a trip to Las Vegas (me&my girlfriend), have you seen the topic "Las Vegas, anyone"?
Spider is in the garage, I haven't done much since last summer. I decided that it really needs nothing as it is. Here is a photo from last summer, hope you like it.
