25; I'm a Business Analyst and Project Manager...I can wheelie and I do occasionally...but it's only when I accelerate too fast. I like my bones, skin, and bike too much for stunts

36, Computer Nerd/tech/whatever. Married, father of 2 and 2 more on the way.

I got my first bike when I was only 16 -- for $250. It was a 125cc dual-purpose that was one year younger than me, and I wheelied it once and only once. Neither of us liked it.
1979 XS650F -- "Hi, My name's Nick, and I'm a Motorcyclist. I've been dry for four years." (Everybody: "Hi, Nick.")

There isn't a trend to generalize but i do see quite a few computer related careers, and military or hands on workers, pretty awesome. Thanks for the responses, although i guess it is a little bias cuz not many younger ppl would really want to help others out i guess. Still, interesting to hear about you guys!
My wife is a nurse and rides pillion with me alot. She is getting her license in a month or so and will be riding on her own.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

You are new here, ain't ya? :wink:

The whole site is owned and operated by a fellow in Calgary, with several moderators and a fair few members there too. Me and Gadjet are the mods from Middle Earth... uuhh... Alberta, and we have a few members around here as well. Edmonton has it's own sub-chapter membership/biker gang.... and that's just in Alberta. We have a shwack of members as well as a mod in B.C., several in Sask and even a couple in Manitoba, I believe. This may be the one and only place that us in the West outnumber them dirty Easterners (that would be you :wink: ), although it is probably fairly close in actual fact.

We let the rest of the world come in and feel at home, but that's just a clever ruse.... we are slowly brainwashing them with pop-up ads and flashing banners.

Plan A-1 is still online and Implementation Day is still set for the 19th.... 8)
Really..run by Canadians? Awesome! lol. My dads actually working in Alberta, Fort Mcmurray. Go Canada!! :D

I'm 24, and currently a communications officer for the Army. However, my education is in nuclear engineering, which I will be doing as soon as the Army frees me.
