Im Back!!

Man I have missed this forum, the recession has hit me quite hard, I had to sell off everything, RC cars to PC's to kitchen mixers.. The extreme increase in shootings and murders in my county has has kept people from coming here and got people on the move, what's this world coming to?
That said, I still got my bike, don't ride it much for fear of it being stolen but every time I take it out it still runs like a bat outta hell, just went through 45 pages of posts and glad too see alot of familiar faces still here and having alot of the same problems still...
I'm going to pull my bike out of storage this week and start riding it full time again, I almost sold it, but for $860 there is NO WAY I could ever replace it and if my car ever got repo'd thats all I got for transpo.. I'm back on-line and looking forward talkin to ya'll again!!

Friend, it seems that you need to ride to a better neighborhood. It's a big and amazing and diverse country. The only gunshots I here in my area are quail hunters and target shooters, like myself.

Welcome back, sorry to hear about your situation. As far as I know, I'm in the murder capital of Canada, but I don't think it has really impacted the area like what you are describing in your area. Hope things get better for you. It's amazing what people will do to each other. Luckily there is positive amazing things too sometimes...

Yikes, doesn't sound like you're describing what we'd call a civilized western nation. Sorry to hear about that!

Hopefully things change in your world soon and you can concentrate on the good things in life.

Welcome, back, to the forums!
