Going on my pre-SKi season Vegas trip again...

Staying at the MGM... Flying business class... Pimp style...

Got Van Morrison tickets... Psyched...

Also seeing Barry Manilow and Cher... But hey - this trip is more for my girl then me... :)
I'll be drunk before noon... :-?


I love Vegas... So tacky.. So compressed So fake... So conducive to drinking.. Except for the drinking it polar opposite of my BC trips... :)

When I first read the title I though it said "Vegans retreat". That would have been an interesting thread...

Anyway, sounds like a fun trip DMC, enjoy!

Not brags, just my way of keeping track so I can easily find past rides this season. Anyway, it automatically wraps for me, it makes the page wider than your window for you?? Sorry about that, I'll see what you can do.

funny... :)
So if you want to track your rides... Why don't you just use an excel spread sheet? I'd be proud of that many rides... why not admit your bragging? Whats the big deal...?

No worries - forgot who i was talking to.... I don't want to piss off the moderator... Enjoy your wrapping... :)

Not pissing me off, I really don't see it as bragging so much as keeping track for myself. I'm lazy, if I tried to keep a spreadsheet I'd never keep up with it, by putting it in my sig it's easy to remember to add the ride when I do the TR. Plus it makes it easy to have links back to the TRs. But if you want to think it's bragging that's fine, makes no difference to me.

So you took it off? why? because of some dirtbag from Huntah? I didn't know i held such power... :)

Keep it... just put a line break so us MAC users don't have to scroll... thats all...

It's cool to brag!!! You got more days in on a bike then me... I'm jealous...

Without knowing everyone's screen resolution it's difficult to know where to put the line breaks, put too many in and then the signature is too long vertically and someone else will complain about that. Not worth the hassle to me.

The last thing I want to do is make the forums harder to read for anyone. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Have fun in Vegas!

No worries, I've been wondering when I was going to exceed the maximum character limit for sigs anyway, at which point I would have taken it down. The reason that there was no spaces was to keep the character count down, and too keep it as short as possible. I didn't anticipate that it would cause issues with other systems.

My old sig is here. Sorry I haven't done any riding around the Stamford area. There's a few guys on this site that have some experience in riding in that area though.

Maybe we could hook up for a ride when you bring the bike down.
