    Wow, it's already so green there! ;) Nice bike
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Please, it's still so cold up here, I'm thinking about getting the winter gear out and getting the bike out of the garage. Especially with gas prices where they are - 45mpg on the bike beats like 16 in my truck...

    DYING to ride again...
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Dude, ROCKS for a yard?

    Where does one BBQ? I can't imagine playing ball in a GRAVEL pit.

    That's not Arizona, that's MARS.

    Rocks for 3 reasons:

    You'll go broke in Southern Arizona watering grass
    You'll go broke in Southern Arizona trying to get grass to grow
    NO maintenance baby!

    The new house will have grass in the back yard though, being a Missouri implant to Arizona, I miss my grass. I landscaped the current house myself--45 tons of rock; that won't happen again.

    45 tons in ONE yard?

    There's got to be a HUGE hole in the earth somewhere.

    You'd be amazed how thin it is in some spots, the back yard is 9800 sqft. which is big for these parts...

    I dunno, I think you should take Mother Nature's cue when NOTHING GROWS in a region, stay the **** out.

    I was down in AZ a few times when my cousin lives there... Mars is exactly what we called it.

    Drive a couple hours north to Flagstaff or something, at least there's vegetation. :)

    45 tons? yea easy. We put gravel around our old house's and it took like 10-12, and that was just the small flower beds and such, so a whole yard, 45 easy

    45 tons doesn't go as far as you think.

    I think I'd at least opt for astroturf or some such....puking in a yard like that creates a whole host of problems.

    I usually do wear a helmet, that was a quick spin around the block after adjusting the clutch lever. I don't know how people can stand the wind-blast w/o a helmet. I've tried it a few times and it's far more comfortable wearing a helmet.

    Yep, 2002 Honda Magna VF-750C.
