Hello from Vassar

Hello from Vassar. Eric here and I'm not exactly retired yet. I rode to a romeo lunch a couple years ago and felt a little guilty that I didn't fit the "retired" part of ROMEO. I thought I would be a party crasher. I couldn't believe that I was welcomed with open arms. It seems that "retired" is not that important of a requirement. Heck, alot of the guys still "did" a little something and you could consider Don(Klem) fully employed with keeping track the guys on the list and finding new places to meet.(how's that Don?) I think that if you show up on any kind of bike without an attitude, you will find a friend with the ROMEO's.
I'm also new to computers(about three years) and I equate my skills to that of a pit bull in the front seat of a new Caddy,"i couldn't turn on the windshield wipers but I really like the leather seats." I thank my wife for turning on the wipers for me.
Yea yea, she knows more about the computer than me but when she has a flat tire.....
Other than farm trucks and tractors, I started my driving career on a little yellow Yamaha scooter/motorcycle.I did a bit of "pasture riding" till I broke a collar bone and decided I needed to be healthy to feed my kids. I got back on a 05 Kawasaki KLR 650 and have put a little over 50,000 miles on it. I picked up a sweet 93 BMW K 1100 RS about 2 years ago and have put another 20,000 miles on it. Wonderful bike.
I only can make the occasional lunch ride but will be there when I can get a day off. I'm looking forward to meeting and riding with more of the great guys in the group.
