2009 New Years Resolutions
1. The completion of the transformation of this board into a KTM board.
2. Automatic ebay sales updates scrolling at the top for BMW bikes and parts 3. Ride reports from those members that want ride reports but never post their own.

 Not have to change the spring rate on my Ohlins.

LMAO... look that was a typical politician post... trying to spin out of it AGAIN!
EZ, that was directed to himself... as his precious garage queen got de-floured by Williams and Company on the last TC ride... after that, he found an excellent way to top the damage by tipping the bike over...

I only have one Resolution.
Influence others to love their neighbor, and improve their posting skills and etiquette... The evidence of success will include... Nail no longer sidetracking peoples threads..... Ralph and Shredd'r holding hands and singing kumbayah.... Gotroad going to church with R111S, then R111S having a few beers afterward with GotRoad at the bar acroos the street.... Dr. Curve letting pdonnell borrow his HP2S. JonyRR handing over all his secret electronic weapons to the federal government, and becoming a florist... I will think of some more later...

 ...let's see ah, 1 "love their neighbor"...er, ah, 2 "improve their posting skills"...um 3 "etiquette". Last year I had an Alcohol Free Bier at our Friends house in Nandltstadt, Germany...does that count sort of? Or what about the Alcohol Free Bier I had at the Rathskeller (http://www.rathskeller.com/) in downtown Indy during the MotoGP weekend...there's a very large Bar in there plus a Biergarten outside? For myself I gave up making New Years Resolutions some time ago...had to eat my words too many times.

Do not take too seriously

I promise not to promise not to piss anyone off on this forum next year.
Seriously, I hope to have a safe and accident free year. Everything else I will take as it comes each day.

Have you met Rob? I saw him beat up three bikers at the TOR last July!
Bill just stood there drinking a beer watching with a smile on his face...

Bill, this forum is a massive experiment in patience and tolerance. Everyone seems to do much better at both when they are not confined to quarters for the winter. This is only one man's opinion. There is however, a wealth of knowledge on this forum. You just have to sift though massive doses of ego at times to get to it.
There will always be someone who rides better, someone who's a better machinist, someone with more degrees, someone who runs twisties better, drags knee better, cooks better, knows more about German beer, has owned more bikes, crashed more bikes, set up more suspensions, been to more rallies, met more racers, yada yada. The point being very seldom does a day go by that I don't learn something very helpful on the Pelican site. This week I learned that it's very important not to pi$$ off the man that can flip the lock switch on you. And his warning is "let's play nice kids"
