You know, anyother year Id be out ripping around on my snowmachine at this time, but I havent touched it all winter (Might have somthing to do with the Trails not opening until February, ya, Ill shell out 230 to use the trails that are crap and wont be open past the end of march) Im actually for the first winter ever looking forward to the snow melting so I can get my bike back out on the road! Havent really done any work on the bikes at all, had great plans, but those seem to have not materialized. Oh well, Im sure with the baby on the way (march 19th) Ill probably be looking forward to being outside working on the Maxim this summer, maybe get the little one on the lawn to watch daddy. Heres to the snow melting quick yall!

PS, Im thinking about getting another bike... but not a new one, do I ever learn?

Just like Lumberton is just around the corner from Pemberton....


Now that confuses me, because I always thought that Pemberton was just around the corner from Whistler??? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Lumberton is of course adjacent to Pemberton..... which is just around the corner from Whistler, which is not too far up Rt 99 from Vancouver, which is 3,000 miles from Lumberton....

Obviously a wrinkle in the space-time continuum!! :laughing:
