Thanks for all the kind words. For the record, I'm not anti alcohol. If you can enjoy it and keep your wife, your job and your drivers license, I say good on ya. Probably the hardest part of this adventure was being dissed in the beginning by people I thought were my friends, but apparently were only drinking buddies. One of the few that stayed by my side was Paul, whom some of you met at the last two RAA's. A real stand up guy, that one. Joining this forum and meeting (be it in person or through a screen) and riding with all you people has been a very positive thing in my life. You guys actually ride, not just to the next bar. Thank you all for sharing your lives with me !
