Re: Gummiente's Blog!
Thanks, J, it's nice to be back. The place seems a bit slower than before, though.
Yes, still living up in Grey County so it's an hour and five minutes each way. But I don't mind the distance because for once I truly enjoy going to work and doing what I do. In the past during all my previous careers, I took a lot of heat from co-corkers and supervisors for riding motorcycle to work - now I'm in a job where it's expected that I ride motorcycles to work!

Small world, indeed! I recently spoke with him on the phone about booking a service appointment for it. Has he let you drive it?NorthernPete wrote:I think you just sold my brother Colin an ural. Lol. Small world. Orange and black.

Nope, not as of yet. Sometime soon I would think. Have to see how driving with a sidecar is. He's really enjoying it though. And gets alot of looks around town for sure.

Yes it is, Mr Eagle Eye. It's a leftover 2012 Electra Deluxe in British Racing Green that I mated to a Kozi Rocket chair a few months ago, just for shites 'n giggles.

Re: Gummiente's Blog!
I was looking for a new avatar for the Christmas season and came across this picture. It made me think of you.
