Thanks Stimpy. Number 11,000 was today's excerpt from my library of more than 120 books written by (or about) serious riders. They're an inspiration to me- not only do they tell great stories about their riding, but their encounters with other folks, including like-minded riders, are fascinating. We love our bikes, but life is really about people.
I'm happy to say the record will show not a single "one emoticon" post- I try to have something to say. It's often fatuous, sometimes wrong, but always intended to be helpful.
Still a lot of books awaiting reading...
