Sickos? Sickos? Naw...perverts maybe...

And it's not just you "old guys" who are veterans. I'm 32. Ex-Seabee. My old unit rocker is on my riding jacket, my Seabee packet patch is on my vest, my namestrip is on my wife's vest. My stepson stole my uniforms...
When I bought my Savage, if it hadn't been for Bert's forum, I wouldn't have kept it. No dealership support. The service manual is a joke. You almost never see anyother one on the road. Thanks to these forums, us "outside the norm" types can have our fun too.
My stepson came by today and saw I tore the bike down, again. He's supposed to start bringing new parts by to get it back on the road. I told him if he didn't start riding it, he was getting packed off to Moses Lake for you and Max to re-educate him. He can't wait to get on this site and start learning about the bike. He's 20 (yes, I'm really 32 like it says above). Hopefully he'll get as much from the site as I do.
Paladin, again, I can't say thank you enough. Your map and photo registry really enhances a great site.
