A young Rocky
A not-so-young Rocky, and not-so-young me.
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering,
"what the Hell happened?"

01/19/2008, 15°F or so. This is my 1993
K1100LT at the same place as below photos

01/31/2008, 34°F, overcast, K1100LT-EML,
with the 'new' weatherproof top!

1983 BMW R100RT with Ural sidecar.
Sold April 2006, after MANY happy s'miles.
We sometimes DO get that much snow in the Winter.
In front of my home at South Lake Tahoe, California, USA.

Notice the snow height at Penny's feet & at right lower corner & area under
the mailbox.
Yes, nearly to Penny's hips OVERNIGHT
Below is a Summertime view of the same spot.
My two-wheel ride,
a 1984 BMW motorcycle, R100RT, set up for long distance touring.
I've been asked about the topbox. I think it is an old
Luftmeister.
I am quitting 2 wheel street riding, the 1984 R100RT
bike
and
a LOT of my special
tools was for sale,
now has been sold, and will be delivered in
2010.

There are two roads in life, the twisty one is vastly more fun
Reputation is what you are perceived to be, character is what you are; REAL character means doing what is right
when nobody is looking
Common sense isn't
Most folks look intelligent.....then they say something
Light travels faster than sound...which is why some people appear bright...until
you hear them speak
Be Careful when arguing with an idiot...folks watching may get confused as to who that is
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS.
YOU CAN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE THEM ALL YOURSELF!
The Purpose Of An Open Mind---Is To Close It On Something
I was always taught to
respect my elders,
But it keeps getting harder to find one.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.
