I was looking through some old posts here, and some people were wondering where I've been. I assure you, I haven't been injured by a chainsaw. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I've just been really busy. This summer, I worked a ton. Then, in Sept., I started Ski Patrol training. That and school consumed a lot of time up until about a month ago. Now, I have medical training equivalent to an EMT-Basic (which I think is pretty big for my age). I've mainly been hanging out around a moped forum (mopedarmy.com). http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif In the way of stuff with engines, in the past about 6 months, I sold a dirtbike (Kawasaki KLR250), bought a new old one (Yamaha IT200, 1984), bought a scooter ('87 Honda Elite 50), and bought a moped ('74 Vespa Ciao). Anybody want to fill me in on anything major around here? (besides the code deal; I've been briefly checking in around here every month or so)

Sorry. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif PSK31 just got a little old after a while; with 35 watts, there wasn't really much challenge. I plan to try to use my FT-817 and see how it goes. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif First I've got to set it up for that. And, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all.
BTW, any familiar faces get banninated? :rock:

We made inquiries at the local hospital and jail, when we didn't find your name there, we figured that something else was keeping you busy. Welcome back! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

In "banned land", sad to say.

Sorry to hear you were moping around, dude, let alone joining an army of mopers; group hugs, everybody!
Things can't be that bad...at least nothing so depressing that a few grams of Prozac can't cure. ;>
I miss my Honda Express...I must've put a couple of thousand miles on that thing.

Cool! I test-rode a "Burgie" at the nearby Suzy (Suzuki) dealer and really liked it...much more so than the Honda Silverwing and the Aprilia (sp?) scooters. What threw me was the price tag: $7K. Ouch!
My Honda Helix was another fun machine I put a few thousand miles on for local jaunts when I didn't want to take my murdercycle (a Honda Pacific Coast) out into the rain. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Oooh! A burgman! 400 or 600? Maxi-scooters are very cool. Almost as cool as a Volkswagen Jetta GLX or GLI VR6. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

650 ofcourse! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif I ride it pretty well...agressive...and I still get 45mpg. Unless its really crap outside or I have a bunch of stuff to go haul, I normally take my skoot to work.
