What is this Hockey and Ski you speak of?

Hockey is a rite of passion (yes, I used the right word) used by Canadians to sort the keepers from the throwaways among their very young.

What other nation gives their young two razor sharp blades, a long club, and tells them to go out with their gang and try and beat the other gang? And after doing it from the age of about 4 to 18, many of us are so used to it that we just keep right at it right into old age.

I would play hockey 24 hours a day, 365 days a year if it were humanly possible.

Skiing is what you do when you're not playing hockey to meet the tighties. You don't meet tighties in a hockey locker room... even hockey has it's shortcomings.

Yah, I'm 70, had lots of different bikes. Been trying to find a bike like this for thirty years, and finally have. When I'm too old to ride I guess I'll sell it but I couldn't imagine selling it to buy another. What the hell would I buy? A KTM 690? I had my check book out on that one many times over the past two years but just saw to many problems. I'm still can't believe this bike is a 250.......awesome!
