They invited me to come along, but I had didn't own a bike and, what's more, had never ridden one before. So, I bought a Yamaha Enduro, went to the desert and--let's just say that the "learning curve was very steep," ergo "Crash."
Your motorcycle skills are similar to mine. :mrgreen:

Is it akin to an umlaut?

Thanks!
The roof is called a circumflex.

I suspect that he plays World of Warcraft. :cool:

surferdaddy wrote:Though a Fort Worth native, I've spent a lot of my life in San Diego. I have family from socal and it is where I spent my time in the Navy. Now, I'm a proud father of two and Surferdaddy describes me quite well. On a bit of a side note,'Surferdad' is what my surfbros and I would call a 'veteran' surfer who is out with a kook, 'beginner.' We would say "Dude, Dave's like your surferdad bro!"

...Returning to Texan mind set now. Honestly, California's a great place. San Diego benefits a lot from the military influence there, keeps it from being completely insane. So here I am, a hybrid I suppose.
Much better beaches in California than Galveston. :coolgleamA:
