I know its been a while, lots of stuff happening.
The olde ticker, not in the best of health, paying the price of not dying young and making that good-looking corpse.  Not from the lack of trying it would seem, only the good die young they say, so that's me stuffed.
Add to that a rather nasty accident, destroying my right ankle and 3 years of living on heavy duty pain killers, not to bad now that I've had another operation. waited like seems forever for the covid bullshyte shut down of elective surgeries. Still living in pain, however without the daily use of heavy-duty pain killers, crutches and or the wheelchair. Just find it rather difficult to drive a car now, bummer ha, forcing me to ride, total bummer aye?
The good news, neither of my bikes were involved, as I was a passenger, on my way to collect the 72 Piglet from my son's place. And the rider in control had a moment of the red mist. 
So now semi-retired, well supposed to be, just gotta learn to say no, a little bit more often.
Relocated to my second favorite riding region in Australia, Tassie being the all-time favorite, but here is where the birdie holds it own, very very well.
And Piglet has its place, is a bucket of fun as we climb into the alpine region, a mere 20 minutes away. So many young tackers seem to suffer from under-estimating, olde farts on a sportster who can actually ride. Efen priceless, seeing their gobs smack the tank.
No more, 100 mile daily commutes to work, just a short 15 min hwy ride each way, and the best part, sweet F all traffic, almost heaven.
Still hate most non riding humans, and a few riding ones.
Just a little bit more cynical, a lot more sarcastic, and a whole lot less accepting of pissant users, and wannabees.
Ride on, be safe.
Mick

Have replied to your PM.
Must say nice paint job.
How did you go on your poker hand, mine turned to pooh pooh at the Etta pub.
Pulled the pin there, as 2 hrs sleep in the previous 36 hrs was catching up on me rather quickly, and had another shift to start at midnight.
