Awesome.

Can't wait for photos and my new mouse to arrive.

You don't need to send me a mouse. Just Ibuprophen for my finger.

TurboT · 08-03-2010, 11:19 PM

About the time Ralph passed Ron and the big pressure began, I put a post on my facebook page asking for anyone who wanted to to vote for Ron. Nobody responded but today I announed the win and thanked any of those who voted for him.

One of the gals on my friends list (who I went to school with) chimed in and said she had voted, and, "Does she get a ride at least?"

So Ron, if you're ever in Western Canada there's a lovely lady here who would like to hop on your bike with ya. :P If you can't make it, I might find a bike and take her myself.

..just nobody tell my wife.

Thank you for posting the good news, Ron!

Please do take lots of photos, beginning with the arrival of the crate on August 11! For the shipping price of $284, you got a very nice motorcycle.

Spud I do believe RED was your choice in the voters pole . I'm sure that it's going to show up ,going down the road . Eveyone that knows me over the years had posted yellow ,But thats just because the last 2 GT mustangs i've owned have been yellow . I'm told by a facebook user that they do look better in person than in the pictures .

Bennche must be listening to me, Ron.

I am sure the red bike will look great!

I keep getting ready to head for the polls; I can't seem to remember the contest is over!

I am very glad you won, Ron!

I have quit smoking 2 1/2 weeks now . Spud I'm told it takes 3 weeks to change a habit , I'm not sure how long it takes to break an addiction . I will not be bringing any polls of this magnatude ever again, so all can recover.

Congrats also on quiting smoking. Not an easy thing to do.

The psychological addiction for cigarettes is even greater than the physical addiction. :( I am happy you stopped smoking, Ron! I will pray for your success in defeating the cigarette addiction.

Excellent news. Prayers sent for you to keep it up!

Awesome news on quitting! Keep your hands busy.

mizke · 08-05-2010, 02:37 PM

damn congrats on the not smoking, ive tried to quit a few times, make it to day 3 and become a huge smart ass to every one.. even more then i am on a normal day..

i read the review for the 250r last night, i want one. love the looks of it, and a 250 to 250r is the kind of bike i want to start off with.. ive only got a few grand more to pay off on my car then i am looking for a used bike or even one of these since they are right at 4 grand and i live in tx already i could just take a drive to pick one up.. need to get a truck too

recracer · 08-05-2010, 03:11 PM

Wow this is One supportive group here . I just posted that to say that the habit of daily voting should be kicked in about 3 weeks . I should say that i'm not as cold turkey as you mite imagin , I am using e cigs and 2 1/2 weeks with an analog cig . My doc said he didn't know anything about them , But they claim to not be as harmful as analogs . however they are kinda new and may kill me . usa has not looked at them and won't unless they can get them classified as a drug . so at this point still getting so addictive nic in the system . thanks again for all the support

**cheesy** · 08-05-2010, 05:21 PM

I wish you luck on your attempt to quit smoking. You'll never regret the decision. Next March 19th will be 25 years for me. I went cold turkey after a pack and a half a day for 12 years. Cold turkey took quite a bit of will power but the third time was the charm.

This may sound a bit hokey but when friends and family asked how I managed to quit, I would tell them that "I quit quitting and quit smoking". Seems to have worked.

^^(Jeez, that reads like something from an AA meeting)^^

Okay, what is the status? Today is the 11th.
