Intro Brick

[Brick]

Well I'm now 66 and been retired for a while

My wife and I moved here to Western NC = Morganton, NC in 1999. Patricia and I have ridden all over the USA together and had a ball. I am pretty much a Sport Touring guy. Kawasaki Concours, Honda ST-1100, FJR 1300 but I've had a lot of bikes.

My first bike was a 1970 Honda SL-350 that I bought while in the USAF stationed in Alamagordo, NM... then BSA 650 Lightning... Harley '54 Sportster, ... 66 Shovel Head... 56 Pan Head and then I went Sport and Sport Touring bikes and have had a number of them.

I'll try to dig out some old photos and get them scanned to put on here.

I currently have a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere" 1200 Adventure bike... I love this bike
A 2006 Yamaha FJR 1300 ABS (for sale)
A Suzuki SV-650

Pretty much am INTO the Super Tenere'... it's a BALL. The FJR is up for sale and I'll keep the SV-650 as it's a ball too.

GPS, iPhone, Sena SMH 10 blue tooth, SR10 interface to GMSR radio or whatever it is... Motorola.

I moved to riding heaven as even my drive way has curves and elevation change.

Let's ride!

Welcome back Brick! Yes--scan & post those old pics. A good project for a cold winter's day...

Judging from the (very) little I know about Holloman AFB, that must have been a hotbed of exciting projects in that era

Yea, Holloman was "interesting" when I was there... but I was NOT interested. I was on my way out of the USAF... I had lived through my tour in Vietnam and Thailand and all the NCO's that were in my Avionics depatment were drunks and did NOTHING! They offered a bunch of cash to re-enlist but all I could see was so very many who did more work to get out of work than it took to do the work in the first place. Ok... ok... i'm off my soapbox now! No more

Sounds like they'd fit right in as COFSTA recruits!

I resemble that remark.

This is my first post using the app Tapatalk. So this is a test... Testing, testing, testing... Is this thing on?

[Bob]

Yes it is!
