You need to pull your bike over and do the jump they use to do in Toyota commercials when they reached 100,000 miles.

Nahhh....
I think that's when they send you your first "retirement" warning from the Forum.... Most likely in a form of a "Get a life" message.....
At 20,000, they hack your computer to block any further posts.....

# of posts isn't necessarily a mark of seniority, just of verbosity.

Wow, Tom! I never realized what a big number you had under your name. Most of the ones I've read were worth reading, at least, but I've only been around here for a couple of years myself. So, "n00b", I guess.

Anyhoo, if anyone feels they have something to contribute, especially a stupid question, go ahead and blurt it out.
