ranting & raving & incoherent thoughts.
Happy new year. 
Goodbye to 2005. It was a great year. Got a lot accomplished. Got a motorcycle after not riding anything in 4 years. Still have to pinch myself, hasn't really set in that I actually own a new motorcycle. Growing up, I was always around motorcycles. My father had 3 or 4 in the garage at anytime. He also raced dirt bikes and go carts. I would wash and polish his bikes looking forward to the day I would have my own. He instilled a lot of good riding qualities in me. He's a very safe and good rider. It surprised me how good of a rider he is. This summer a had a few chances to ride with him. He took me to some great, curvey roads he knows in the area. I couldn't keep up with him.
Welcome 2006. New year resolutions? Sure, plenty. #1) Get in shape. 2) Quit or at least cut way back on smoking. (Coincides with #1). 3) Get house in "ready to sell shape". 4) See my daughter more. 5) Love my wife more. 6) Golf more (kinda interfers with #5, lol) 7) Ride more.
More, More, more...
