I just wanted to drop a line to the list that I'm going to take a hiatus from the list. First let me say it has nothing to do with the list or anyone on it. I still think it's a wonderful list and will return someday. It boils down to I've been spending too much time talking about bikes and not enough riding or riding about them. I will stay officially "on" the list so I can read the archives, and maybe make a guest appearance from time to time. I have many friends on the list and I hope they will keep me informed of threads of interest. If you have any personal questions I'll always be here at <monkey37@bluemarble.net> and will be happy to answer since now I will have time to answer personal emails. Thank you all again and I'm happy to see so many "newbies" popping up to take my place. Remember you don't learn unless you ask questions. enjoy, monkeyman a.k.a.
