Been Away .....

[OTB]

I've seen my name taken in vain recently.

'Tis true; ain't been around much. But I have an excuse or two. This has been a crappy summer. Mom has cancer; sister died a few weeks ago, I came down with pneumonia, and right after I finished that, Im now recovering from bronchitis. Haven't ridden since MAY!

Summer school ends Monday and then I'm off to the cabin for a few days, then I have a whole week off and I'm going to try to track down Marko and the rest of that silly bunch up in PENNSYLVANIA AND GO RIDING........

[neebelung]

Oh wow..... my condolences to you and your family, and prayers to you and your Mom. I don't even know what to say.... *hug*

[Mr Lefty]

WOW.... I'm sorry! yeah we missed ya... hope things get better for ya!

Sorry to hear that OTB, you definitely are in need of some riding therapy.

[ontwo]

Sorry about the crappy summer thus far. Good to see ya again

[smileyman]

Wow thats tough OTB! Hope you can get some time off and get some 2 wheeled therapy! It always works for me when I am down...I have been on the site very little since last winter, but have some new time on my hands at work and plan on going back to my annoying post whoring ways ...

Glad you're back and feeling better. Treat yourself to another bike, you deserve it.


Maybe a Tesi 3D?

How are you these days, OTB?


Things are better, thank, you, and thanks for asking.

Been busy with a new pack of malcontents and juvy excons, so I haven't had much time, but that can be a good thing. Have two bike projects in the garage, another one waiting for me in New York, and I just made a deal on a 99 Roadstar to fix and flip in the spring (it needs nothing but tires and a lot of cleaning and elbow grease). I'm goin to try to show the Bimota at the Motofest next week in Germantown http://www.italianmotofest.com/eventschedule.html so I have some cleanup and tuneup work to do.

Doesn't leave a lot of time to feel sorry for myself, which is good, because compared to others I have it pretty darn good.

I like when people actually realize that. Too many people believe their lives are terrible just because of some shitty luck, even though they have families, friends, a house, etc.

I try to put myself in the same context whenever I got a bad break. Because no matter how bad I get, I still have a job, three hots and a cot. Many people in the world would die for that.

Or for lack of it.

Amen, brother.

I'm glad to hear it. Your story touched me. It's always hard to hear when someone is down on his/her luck; it seems harder when it's a fellow rider. I'm glad your outlook is still positive.

*hugs*
