I guess you could
say that the thrill is gone for me... or the thrill of fishing alone.

Snip

Ever since I moved to Beaver Dam I have felt the same way. Not one of
the people I met or worked with likes to fish, Beaver Dam lake stinks
like a week old road kill, and I miss fishing with people.

I did find out about a smaller lake West of here I am going to try
out. Also found a nice little sport shop in Waupun that may lead to
fishing partners.

Charles, I think you would look good on a Harley. All you need is
some hair and a beard :}

A sexy little Sportster?

So are you going to become "the bikepro"?

Haven't put too much thought into it, but after last year... I doubt it.

You wipe out & almost kill yourself on a bicycle, then you go & sell your
bassboat & get a motorcycle?

That makes sense I guess...

If you're completely insane!

My history, if you want to look back, never was too good on two wheels
anyway.

Second Grade: Racing down hill against a neighbor and wiped out in front of
my house. End result? 60 stitches in the middle of my forehead. Countless
scars along my arms and legs, and my mom said it took about two hours for
the doctors to remove about 90% of the gravel.

Moving on along to about the 8th grade, skipping many wrecks that just
scraped me up, I'm riding along in a friends back yard when the front tire
lands in an empty hole causeing the rear wheel... rider included to flip
over. Rear axle punctures ankle with a 1/2 inch hole about an inch deep.

During the following year, after receiving a new ten speed for Christmas,
I'm racing down the street against three other guys, winnig of course, when
I stupidly try to change gears while standing up pedaling under power.
Results: Deeply cut palms, dislocated knee, and I really should have went to
the hospital. Parents weren't home, brother was stoned, so I tended to my
wounds and repaired the bike later.

Oh... 1985. I'm at a friends house checking out his new (used) motorcycle. I
get on and run it down the street. Somehow... he omits telling me that the
rear breaks don't work right, so as I'm going around a curve I find out the
hard way. Luckily I had my choice this time as to what I was going to crash
into. A car, a chainlink fence, or mailbox. The latter seemed like it would
do the least damage to my skin so that's what I took out. As I pulled myself
up, making sure that there were no parts of me bending the wrong
direction...I start reassembling parts that came off the bike. Lady that
owned the house is out there raising hell about her mailbox, and Bubba from
down the street is saying something about seeing me come around the curve
"way too fast" and knew I was going to wipe out. I told both of them to shut
up as I climbed my aching body back on the bike and told them I'd see them
after I got out of the ER. I went back to my friends house... then to the
ER.

There's alot more... but it's getting boring. But before I got married I had
a sweet little GS550 that did me very well. It was probably the first thing
on two wheel that I didn't crash... unless you count the time I dumped it in
the back yard. I'm hoping that my years have given me a little sense and I'm
old enough to understand that speed isn't everything.

Maybe....

Insane??? You decide.
