Just joined TWT. A friend of mine, "AusFletch" turned me on to this site. We just got back last week from a ride down to Mexico. The trip was wonderful. Check out AusFletch's thread called "its not an adventure."http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22135. Its good reading.
I am trying to learn how to post photos. I'm usually pretty computer savy but I'm having trouble learning how to do this. I'll get it soon. I think my photos are just too big in size. I also have not figured out how to post a photo gallery yet either. Oh well.
After I get used to using the site and posting photos I think I will start a thread on my trip to Prudhoe Bay last June. There are some great pics and good stories to tell from this trip. I have acutally made the trip by motorcycle twice. Once in 1998 with my 17 year old daughter on a Goldwing and again this year on a 1150GS. I absolutly love Alaska and have been fortunate enough to have gone up there 5 times now. The other trips by plane.
Anyway, I hope to get started on the Alaska thread soon.
I suppose I should put a little about myself in here. I live in Austin and have been riding since I was 16. Never been without a motor for 37 years. I have worked for the Austin Police Department for 30 years and spent 11 of those years on Motors. I still do the Funeral Escorts here in town and if those of you in Austin see a white BMW K1200LT on a Funeral Escort pull up and say Hi. I promise not to shoot. Been married for 33 years to a wonderful wife and my daughter graduates with her Masters in Occupational Therapy next month. All those motorcycle wrecks over the years are catching up and she will come in handy.
I currently own a 2002 BMW R1150GS, and a 05 K1200LT. I have owned 5 goldwings, Valkery Interstate and a Road King that were used for the Funerals and for fun. I have concerns about the reliability of these Beemers but I love them soooooo.
