Zoom Zoom Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi Folks. I have allready posted a couple of things here. I was browsing around and thought I might give some here an introduction. I have a 2001 EV with now 55,000+ miles on it. With that paid for and many more happy miles still ahead, I was in the financial position to be able to get the LeMans I recently bought. When young, I rode my friends mini bikes and then MX bikes. My dad was in the insurance business and would not let me get my own motorcycle. I did however, ride friends bikes, both on the street and in the dirt. My interest gravitated toward cars and ended up purely by accident getting into Cougars. I have had two Eliminators and a couple of XR7's, all late 60's early 70's cars. A '68 Torino GT Fastback and a '73 Mach 1 factory 4 spd round out the cars. The latest ride is an '03 WRX. What a car!!! I guess about 7 years ago now, I finally got interested and got a bike, A CL350 Honda Scrambler. Graduated to a CB 550K Honda. I still have both. I purchased the EV in Feb. 2001 and suddenly began neglecting my other hobby of radio control model airplanes. You noticed the miles on the EV, right. I enjoy riding whenever possible. When the current LeMans hit the floor, so did I. I just couldn't afford one with the new EV. Well, here we are now. Cash back on left overs and 1.9 financing and a paid for EV. No regrets. Some will know me from the Topica board,which I rarely frequent, and WildGuzzi. The tag line I use was a result of someones post of "I hate my Guzzi", which resulted in a birrage of replies titled "I love my Guzzi". After being entertained for nearly a week, I finally replied to that post. I simply said "When I get on my Guzzi and start it, it puts a smile on my face and I think about the kid in the Mazda commercial who looks over his shoulder and says Zoom Zoom. Short and sweet. I install and service Key systems and PBX systems for the wireline side of Alltel. I have been in the fone business for 30 ,(oh my God), years. I hope I get a chance to meet some of you at the Guzzi Rallies! Zoom Zoom, John Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 And I was expecting you to be in the Railroad business. I had a 350 scrambler as well. It was my first 'big' bike and man, was it a piece of crap. Ok, that was partly my fault.... Good mileage on the EV- drive over to the Iowa Rally if you get a chance. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Zoom Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 J, that was two lives ago. I was a railroad employee. Raced a steam hammer. After that, I led a life as a race horse. Raced other race horses. Lately, I do fone stuff. Not as fun as it used to be but hey, it's a living. Man, I miss those green Kentucky pastures....... Lounging in the sun........
