What a day, a new bike, and you go over 10,000 posts. Could it get any better?

Today is your lucky day!

I could use your help. I've got $58,000,000 in a bank account in Africa, and with your help, kind gentleman, you could earn $1,000,000 for helping me move this out of the country. Just send me your bank information, social security number, a copy of your signature, and your daughter's cell phone number, and I'll get back to you immediately.

I got that one a few year ago, really funny. She was the queen of some African country and wanted me to get her gozillion $'s out of a locker in Amsterdam. Funny!!

Anywho, I know you will like the new bike Don. Just think, you can intentionally leave the black top and into the woods. Great bike and it won't be your last.

Oh no, what happened? I was just getting ready to load up the KTM and come down to Texas for a weeks worth of riding and mooching off of you.

Well not you exactly, a buddy of mine just bought a new DRZ, and his brother lives in Texas, and because it's such a small state, I figure on a visit to him we were sure to bump into you.

Sorry for the scare, I just couldn't get to the bank in time yesterday, had to go in this morning. Picked the bike up about 1pm and just got back from the first ride. I have a meeting tonight so I'll try to post more and some pics.
