I quit drinking in '97 while training for the Amsterdam Marathon, but loved the pubs in London while I was there.

Bikeless at the moment awaiting Treks to be delivered for the wife and I.

If only I had something else to do, like ride our '95 Miata, Scarlett, on the local back roads. Unfortunately it is sitting broke in the garage. After driving it from Maine to NC, it died on the road. Turns out the bolt holding the cam gear to the exhaust cam sheared off.

No longer made, but I sourced one from an online junkyard. Never got that one and am fighting to get the funds back. I found another one, and got it in the head. Now I need to get the timing set. That will have to wait til after our 3 week trip to Massachusetts and Maine for two weddings.

I also have leather seat covers that I need to install and new brakes, rotors, and calipers. That will have to wait til I am able to do some back road rides. It's been 13 months, and I miss driving her.

I hope this was far enough off topic to be acceptable. I think I'm going to like this place.
