Hey all, I know alot of you have wondered what had become of me since I haven't posted in months so I'd thought I'd let you know what's been going on.
Last year was a very non-riding year due to some unforseen health problems which for the most part have improved due to great doctors and medication.
That did though accelerate Mrs. Lefty and my decision to retire and get the heck out of California. We relocated to Oregon in a house on the Umpqua River
and we couldn't be happier. We both bought new Yamaha's when we got here (thanks Oregon, no sales tax!) she got an FZ07 and I got an "old mans" bike an
FJ09. Didn't get much riding on the new bikes due to the Oregon winters but now that spring has arrived we're venturing out in the neighboring countryside
which is only 5 minutes outside of town. This year promises to bring many more multi day trips for me hopefully including a swing down to SoCal to see my
brother and sister hoons.
I was planning on keeping the FZ6 but I love he FJ09 so much it wasn't seeing any road time and I was just paying insurance to park it in the garage. I finally
put it on Craigslist on Monday and found a great local buyer on Tuesday. He's super excited and I've given him the forums web address so when he joins up
with you degenerates be nice to him! lol... I told him to mention that he bought Lefty's bike and you would welcome him with open arms.
Who know's, he (John) may be reading this post right now.
I just want to thanks everyone here who I've gotten to know and ride with along with those I haven't had the pleasure to meet in person for all the information
and help (and laughs) over the last 6+ years.
I'll still poke my nose in maybe a little more often now that I have more time.
My best to everyone,
Lefty (John)
