hello from steveinsandiego

Post by Steveinsandiego »

gee whiz, i was wondering whether the old intruderalert forum from the 90s had been resurrected...nope...but i found this site, and names i recognized! princemo, dr alloway, jonnycando, lechy, night-wolf, skree, tabasco, yodude, canuck07, mattsunn, madcow. what th'!!!!

nothing really new with me except: i've been on a 2015 v-strom 650 since 9/15, but looking to replace it with a honda cb500f. the frau and i have downsized, only a couple of miles from the previous homestead, which my daughter, her hubby, and our two grandboys now live in (they're responsible for paying off the refi we used to pay cash for the new place - well, not new, it's 30 yrs old, gated community but not age restricted, well-kept, zero lot lines, pool and jacuzzi). it's 950sf 2/2/2 down from a 1950sf 4/2/3. yeah, barely room for the v-strom in the garage, certainly no more room for a second scoot or the honda would already reside there...LOL.

life's pretty good, i must admit. my biggest problem is dealing with spinal stenosis.

anyhow, i'll peruse this joint, look for others who were associated with the previous forum, and, well, you know. see y'on the board. [emoji2]

Good to see you posting here Steve. I know about spinal stenosis and bulging discs and such. I've had one vertebrae in my neck fused already. I had one disc blow completely out. Hoping the rest of them hold up. Stiff neck now, makes it difficult to look over my shoulder when riding, so I had to learn to rely more on mirrors, but still riding when I can. [space] [emoji106]
