    Just because you're selling your Spyder to buy a Slingshot doesn't mean you have to leave the forum.

    Guess I owe y'all an explanation. Not posting this for sympathy or pity. Don't need any of it.

    Part of the good bye is due to the s**t going on here on SL. It may be that my skin is a little thin lately.

    The other and more pressing, the demons have reared their ugly heads again. So I need a break from everyday things to get stuff squared away. Some of you know what I mean.

    I may be back, just not sure.

    Thanks to those who PM'd me. Especially Bob.

    I will miss both of you and the stuff you posted. What ever it is, I hope it turns out okay for you. Take a rest and come back to posting. Rest and ride if you can.
    If it is something from your service days and I can help PM me. I am retired USAF.
    Best wishes for the future and hope to hear from you all again.

    COOL DOWN PERIOD, i got over it.... rest up, think about it... and remember, 98% OF US LOVE TO READ YOUR POST... so sit back, have a beer and some pop corn, and think about how us 98% will feel if you never come back....
    as for the
    SLINGSHOT.... well, best of luck with it... but i'm moving up to a new F3-S after 6 yrs with my ABSOLUTELY PERFECT RS SE5.....

    Just to let you all know - Bruiser was just kidding about the Slingshot. No way are we buying one. Thanks again for the thoughts and concerns.

    Default Sorry to hear this.

    Don't know what's going on and it's not any of my business, but you will be missed. I do not come here much myself anymore for various reasons, the biggest being I always seem to be in a foul mood.

    Please don't be a stranger because, here's the deal Bruiser, I have a short list of must meet people and you are on it. And to think we were so close at Spyderfest '13. You got a look at my trailer but unfortunately we never crossed paths.

    Take care my friend (I hope it's ok to call you friend) and hopefully we will meet one day.
