Saw the thread on my fone out in the shop, and thought I'd reply. Did she pull it?

Oh, I see what happened now. My fone was on an old thread and I didn't realize it. Still being drug kicking and screaming into the 20th century.. :rolleyes:

Chuck,
Something tells me you don't want to catch up. :tongue: Some things are ok with this century, really. I know I know :weiner:

Not really, Dawg.. You might call me an early adopter. My first computer programming was Gotran and Fortran on a freakin Univac in the early 60s. (!!) 16K IIRC, and the size of my kitchen. Maybe bigger, come to think of it. I had a cnc milling machine in my (wood heated) :smiley: shop in the mid 80s. That was before the GM company I worked for had one. :shocked:
I've just never seen the need for a smart fone until we got fed up with our land line, turned it into a cell line and have Google voice ring our two cell numbers.. for free. Saved 35 bux a month, and have more reliable service. (Guzzi content) It means I have to carry a fone around, though. Yuck.
That said, <Luddite/1>I don't wan no steenkin computer telling me how much throttle to apply or how much brake to use. To me, that is much of what motorcycling is about. I don't need it, don't want it. <Luddite/0> :smiley:

Howdy Hi!
I am still here to plague you good people. The week got out of control. If the week had been a bike, I would be in considerable pain right now. This is probably one of the reasons I like motorcycles; they are far more easily controlled than is life. I hope ya'all have been well and happy!

Life is like riding a bronco. Hang on, give it the spurs, and hope you make it to the buzzer.

A long eight seconds!
Hey...I owned a Mold Wing once and found riding it a lot like hanging onto a bull. Where it wanted to go did not always agree with my desires, and it shook its head; rather a lot.
