fb2 hit it on the nail- 100% agreed with everything. Once you part ways you should be responsible for yourself man or woman. The person doing the leaving should have to pay something though. In fact, there should be a mandatory agreement both parties should be required to sign before getting married. Yes sort of like a pre-nup but it should be mandated at that time so it's all black and white.

Antlers, cool bikes! How long have you been riding?

Kerry, you should explore the Gorge like this guy, your state is so scenic: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=622137

I hear you on pushing our lucks. I used to race cars, I gave that up when DD was born. But nothing could compare and fill the void of doing 75mph through a decreasing radius, off-camber turn with full opposite lock and a four wheel drift. Then I discovered motorcycles, went through the safety course, got the right gear then freaked myself out reading about how people lose limbs and die. I stopped riding for a while because of that fear. The dangers of motorcycle riding are very real that people don't realize. In a car something runs out in front of you, you brake hard, you probably get all out of shape etc but you're usually ok. On a bike you're for sure planting your face into the 20 grit sand paper called road. You even have to watch out for the pebbles and rocks in front of you in a turn so you don't wipe out. Just a very different dynamic. I don't ride a lot but when I do just the feeling of freedom and the experience of man and the machine becoming one is pretty damn cool.
