    It's usually more based on how many miles the rider can take.

    I was on a bike for 2 years or so without a car registered. Ran a 50 mile Round trip commute on it no problem. Bike was primary transport with a car as backup for an additional 2.

    200 miles each way to a track as race support was no problem. Day trips of 200 miles was no problem. An appropriate sized, smooth bike, with good suspension would be a must.

    I put about 60k miles on that bike. Still have it. Plan on resto-moding it again soon.

    Not sure how many miles they will go, but I think we were 78 and 90K when we sold them.Wife being the higher. 140 miles a day is because she is cheap ###. Honestly my butt gets sore faster than that now

    Just wanted to tell a funny story that happened here late yesterday afternoon. There is another guy that lives alone on the floor below me. He is one of those types that takes a while to get to know. He loves Keri and also is protective of her. He doesn't like the Army guy. I asked the Army guy last night before he left here if he and Keri have spoken about her first marriage. They have! All the BS Keri has put up with you had better understand there are several people that live in these buildings that will shoot a (redacted) in a minute! That man is one of them. He asked me how many people that live here own guns? I said everybody I know with the exception of two.

    He is reporting to his job this morning and working until noon. Then taking a week of leave. I have several pre-procedure appointments at the Hampton VA Hospital in the AM and he is taking Keri and I then afterward we are going to eat. I was listening to Keri speaking to a friend Friday about taking me to Richmond to get my Heart roto rooted. In a way that's exactly what's happening! Unstopping a clogged pipe!

    Woke up at 0100 for no apparent reason.
    Been listening fo playlist of over 13000 songs at last check.
    Some i can link to, others not so much, as there is foul language and we try to keep this... a family show.

    (i dont care, i still like this song.
    Might even have them play it when i die so I’ll have the last laugh)

    At the risk of embarrassing myself, this sounds like the original. If so, I had ABSOLUTELY no idea who sang the song. I remember it quite well through the years.

    Redbone is the original, no embarrassment, whatsoever.
