Posted Sun, 06/20/2010 - 09:14 by Martin Brown

Sorrry, no I don't mean the scottish bagpipers lament, I'm talking about the sweet rumble of V-twin pipes, Which Edmonton city councillors have voted to create a bylaw specifically targetting motorcycles.

Nicknames, roadnames screen names and real names

I understand and appreciate what Bro Adam was striving for in allowing us to change our "handle" on the forum, but I'm not entirely thrilled with the result. For example, I saw the road name of a brother who is soon to have a birthday and thought to myself "Maybe I'll post him a message saying hi" but by clicking on the profile, I have no way to know who he really is.

I'm already getting my travel passes from the OL for July 10-12th for the Alberta/Montana North South Rally. Held this year in beautiful Southern Alberta and hosted by the High Twelve crew, it promises to be an amazing ride and awesome fraternal hospitality.
Don't forget to include it in your summer plans. I have already booked a hotel room, they are likely going to fill up.

Once in a while, I look at an old pix of me with that glorious golden mane and I think "Whatever possessed me to cut it off?"
Okay, so my boss at work matched personal donations to come up to about $800.00 for the Alberta Cancer Society, but that was over a year ago. I could have halfway grown it back by now.
