Do tell me about the bike test Sherm! Im gonna try my best to get mine before it turns cold out, but I do actually need to ride abit before I go. My riding usually consisted of riding through trails and fields, that sorta thing.

golf Jack... my new found passion... 
the test was just a drive through town where the examiner drives behind you in a car giving directions through a radio, you wear a headset. they check your general driving/riding ability, watch your feet when comming to a stop and leaving from a stop. they watch your lane positions for the blocking position, signalling and shoulder checking, basically whats in the book that you study for your learners...

Sweet deal sherm, and congrats. Doesnt sound very hard at all.
So how did ya ever get into golf?
Ive always been more into the "action" kinda sports, and when I do play golf its usually for a year ender or something. Its pretty fun though!

Usually when I play golf, there is a large quantity of beer involved. And various small bottles of liquor hidden throughout the golf bag!
I used to think golf was for sissies, but its actually not too bad to play. Alot slower paced of a sport, which is sometimes relaxing.

hi morris,
and thanx, but easy there boss. we don't want to upset our fte buds. hey you 2 guys never struck me as being golfers. or is it stroke me as that way lol! i was just kidding guys. i like working on cars and trucks. and racing.
i'll bet that was a good thing with the 65. i'll bet its quick too. that MB i got running isn't a bad car, kind of slow but it runs and drives ok. those 5 cylinder diesels are slow anyway. there more of a touring car.

it don't sound like it. i wished i had the money to put my race car engine in my truck.
that truck would come to life. that engine puts out 325 hp with a 2 bbl and exhaust manifolds. if i put a 4bbl and a intake and headers that motor would be up close to 400 hp. i had that motor dyno'd once and thats the numbers they came up with. too bad its in a dodge.... and i wouldn't desicrate my ford that way anyway. that would peeve my wife off. she already thinks the v6 has too much power as it is. if i put a v8 in the ranger
she'd kill herself in it. but we have pondered the thought but NO!

it was a nice day here today. we went for a cruise down around the round lake/crooked lake region. put on 225kms. my wife and I, inlaws, and a neighbor who just bought a sweet suzuki M90. wifes ninja got 84mpg, i got 58, and the inlaws got 62 on an older goldwing borrowed from a brother.
very nice ride, but i wish saskatchewan had more turns on the roads...
what'd everyone else do?

Today i dug a septic tank, trenched some lines, did some landscaping,a nd cut some grass!
84 mpg, wow! My xt is supposed to get around 60 from the research ive done on it, but 84 is just insane!
Jack, when I talka bout sports, i usually dont consider racing a sport personally. TO me sports are something you do with your body, like baseball, hockey, etc.
Im very much into racing and stuff like that, I just cant afford it anymore! (and i hate watching just about every sport, although I love playing them)
