Motorbikes are back on the road. I spent a few years riding a Motorcycle. IT was a beauty Yamaha FZR 600 that went like stink. Everyone should spend at least 1 summer riding because you become conscious of bikes on the road for the rest of your life. Please keep your eyes open for them while driving.

Here's a poem Sandy sent me.
Thanks

"But, You Didn't See Me"

I saw you,
hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.

But, you didn't see me,
put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you,
pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.

But, you didn't see me,
playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you,
change your mind about going into the restaurant.

But, you didn't see me,
attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you,
roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.

But, you didn't see me,
driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car
window.

I saw you,
frown at me when I smiled at your children.

But, you didn't see me,
when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you,
stare at my long hair.

But, you didn't see me,
and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you,
roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.

But, you didn't see me,
and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had
none.

I saw you,
look in fright at my tattoos.

But, you didn't see me,
cry as my children where born and have their name written over and in
my heart.

I saw you,
change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.

But, you didn't see me,
going home to be with my family.

I saw you,
complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.

But, you didn't see me,
when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you,
yelling at your kids in the car.

But, you didn't see me,
pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you,
reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.

But, you didn't see me,
squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you,
race down the road in the rain.

But, you didn't see me,
get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his
date.

I saw you,
run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.

But, you didn't see me,
trying to turn right.

I saw you,
cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.

But, you didn't see me,
leave the road.

I saw you,
waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.

But, you didn't see me.
I wasn't there.

I saw you,
go home to your family.

But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker,.....

A person with friends and a family.

BUT, YOU DIDN'T SEE ME"

This is the funniest site and product ever!

A new product being marketed now called “The Beerbelly” which is a secret strap-on beer holder that disguises itself as a bulging beer belly. It was the brainchild of three middle-aged men who wanted a way of sneaking beer into movies and baseball games.

Within just five days of launching their www.thebeerbelly.com website, they had an incredible two million hits and calls for it to be sold worldwide.
The Beerbelly's harnesses slips over the shoulders and around the waist, under a shirt, leaving onlookers thinking the wearer just spends too much time drinking beer.
But little do they know, the wearer doesn't actually need the pub - he, or she, has an 80-ounce plastic bladder full of beer constantly at hand.

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is not only feuding with Simon Cowell, now his relationship with Paula Abdul has reached a boiling point. "It's awkward. I don't know what the deal is. It's very awkward," Seacrest told People magazine about his relationship with Abdul. Seacrest says he is not on speaking terms with Abdul and has yet to confront her about the state of their relationship. "You know, I walked past her dressing room the other day and there was a group of people gathered in front of the door, so I can't even talk to her. Simon and I go back and forth with each other, but it's in a different way."

Doesn't he have her phone number? Can he not call her? I just don't understand life in Hollywood!!!

This is the stuff that keeps me up at night!

How Much Does Gas Have To Cost To Get You To:
· How much does gas cost to get you to carpool to work?
· At what price would you drive only one car?
· What price would keep you from going boating or jet skiing this summer?
· What price would keep you from driving to a wedding or a family weekend?
· What price would force you to seriously consider a Hybrid car?
· How much would gas have to cost to get you to give up your SUV?

Cut Down Gas Use By 3%

This isn't one of those "don't buy gas tomorrow" forwards.

I found this quote in today's USA Today:

Tom Kloza, senior analyst at the Oil Price Information Service tells the Associated Press: "If everyone decided to drive 3% less the next 30 days, prices would crash."

SURELY there is a way to cut down on 3% of your driving in the next 30 days.

* Could you carpool ONCE?

* Bike instead of driving to the gym.

* Pool some of your errands into one trip?

It's a simple law of Economics. If we collectively reduce demand the price will go down.

Repost This or Forward this to ten friends this within 5 minutes or gas prices will hit $1.50 a litre by July.

Matthew McConaughey or Gilbert Gottfried? When it comes to sexy men, they're on opposites sides of the spectrum. While McConaughey wears People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" crown, The Boston Phoenix has given its "Unsexiest Man In The World" title to comedian Gottfried, the high-pitched voice behind the AFLAC duck. The paper's website says, "The parrot-voiced, pickled-face comic is to sexy what Kryptonite is to Superman."

Second on the list? Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson, a man the paper declares "if he couldn't throw a ball 100 miles per hour, Johnson would be wearing a wife beater and getting hauled into a squad car on Cops." Robust movie critic Roger Ebert, Dr. Phil, political commentator Alan Colmes, Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, REM bassist Mike Mills, Osama Bin Laden, Jay Leno, and talking head Don Imus round out the list's top...or, perhaps, bottom...ten.
Also on the list: Brad Pitt at Number 100 for his rumored bad hygiene, Dennis Miller Number 64, Edward James Olmos Number 27, Ron Howard Number 21, and Jon Lovitz Number 15.

Here's the power of being creative!

An unknown singer in London England has signed a huge record deal after staging webcam gigs from her basement.

Sandi Thom was signed to RCA/SonyBMG after they saw her show on the net. Sandi did the Twenty One Nights From Tooting tour from the basement of her London apartment.

She says she got the idea from Sir Paul McCartney.

According to The Sun she said: "I studied at Paul's Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts. I asked for his advice and he told me to keep it simple. You can't get more simple than performing in your own basement.”

Just 70 viewers tuned into her first gig on her opening night on the web on February 24. But rumors of her gigs spread and by the middle of her "tour" the crowd had swollen to an amazing 70,000 per performance.

A single, I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker, is due out on May 22nd and her album, Smile It Confuses People, on June 5th.
