Actually, considering their closer proximity, the Russians are more likely to come marauding down from the north than the Chinese. But I think the main reason it hasn't happened yet and probably never will is that we're real short on parking spaces here.

I think it is the other way around. As predicted by Trey Parker, there will come a day when Canada and North America become friends, this is the day that Gummi will make a run for it through Alaska, hence all the training he has been doing, and will knock on the ruskies door shouting, lookee here, I love you.

Always good to hear from older riders, dobber (older than me, that is!) Gives us all hope.

Iam 67 just got my license last spring. I got into bikeing last year because because I hadn't done it before and looked like something I would enjoy. ( good decision ) as I have enjoyed a year of it. I'am a retired millwright,crane operator, stock car driver and now a part time truck driver which pays for my bike and riding. I haven't made up my mind yet what I want to be when I grow up.

Twenty-four in a week. Been riding for, two days now, if you don't count the MSF class :D. I am currently unemployed, studied International Studies and History in university. I have worked on and off for years for a concrete company, first in quality control and then in their building materials store (in sales), and worked at Papa John's as a manager (I went 62 days last summer without a day off, then cut back to six days a week :D). I quit both to move to Russia and pursue teaching English as a second language. Got my certificate, did not get a job right away, decided if I had to return to the states anyway I might as well job-search for a career where I can make money, rather than search for a job teaching English that will pay room + $12k a year. Just hooked up with a recruiter, he thinks I will be in sales or marketing in two to four weeks :D. That sure would be nice :D.

I'm 54. I've been riding a little under 3 years and have about 50,000 miles/80464 kilometers in that time. I'm an author and a research professor at a think tank.

48.. Corporate IT Project Manager

Always wanted to learn to ride but had a ER nurse Mom and then got married with children so it was put off.
This year I decided since the kids were in college and I had the opportunity to inherit my father in laws Harley that it was time.
