Im usually happy if I know a month in advance, usually its only a week or two.

Columbus had 4 bikers get hit by cars last week, aint been pretty lately. Fortunately 3 were minor and the 4th dude survived at least anyway and will be back sooner or later.........he smashed the piss out of the back of a car, crunched the trunk and broke the rear window. He ended up in the hospital, still waiting on word of how he's doing, I should probably inquire bout that tomorrow........he's my age, pretty cool guy, he's been pinch riding for the usual gal on maternity leave.
