Aaron -- what a milestone! good for you guys (with my in college, I put off the purchase of the black XB12 with my name on it at the dealer's -- needless to say, I/m hoping there's enough time between college graduation and marriage for me to pick up whatever scoot is grabbing me by the short hairs -- I've been encouraging elopment for a while now ;-}). you must be very proud, although I'km sure it's something of a bitterwsweet moment, yes? |

Congratulations, Aaron! It's nice to reduce your domestic payroll, isn't it? But, if you're turning the new son-in-law into a machinist at your shop maybe it's a wash... (get it? "turning?" "machinist?" jeez, sometimes I amaze myself) r-t |

Thanks, everyone. It was quite the experience, affected me more than I thought it would. Bittersweet? No, not really. I'm happy for her. Dana, no, not her, her older sister. Thanks again. |

Congrats, Aaron. Now to stock up on toys for tykes. ( Frisbee's, model bikes, stuff far too "mature" for small kids so you can play with them yourself ) |

Yousa! I did a net search on a two stroke pocket rocket, full of all sorts of goodies. of course I was referring to this Aaron, you'll need to do some body work to get it looking like something that can go 200+ |

Aaron, you Da Man! I have 3 beautiful daughters, 27 to 30 and none interested in marriage. Dang I'd like some grandkids before I'm too old to enjoy them. You and Susan must be soooo proud. |

""Aaron, congratulations! What WILL you do with all that spare time??? "" Teach a NY boy to ride a tractor but I doubt he has that sort of time available. |

Aaron congratulations,wished I could have made it but been chaos at Higgins household lately.(You let Henrik drive a TRACTOR----what were you thinking??I shudder to think of the danger to national security--just cuz he's a homeowner now!!) |

Aaron and Susan, Congratulations. Sure wish we could have made it, but family in Aus had to take priority. Now, who owns the white Sporty? Is that Henrik's nice new bike? Does it have a big seat? |

Peter is it not about time you stoped aluding to the size of our mate's rear end, by now can't you tell it must have been his pants that made it look so big. Any way I need a place to stay in NYC in a couple of months so Henrik don't listen to that ret-ro-bate from Holland. It is his opnion not that of the entire population of Australia.

Wait, a Bueller on a tractor? Isn't that redundant? |

Wow, what an unexpected and overwhelming response, thanks guys. It's easy to forget how many friends I have I guess. Henrik mowed the lawn with the little riding mower, and was having such a good time he took off into the pasture with it. Well, I saw that and thought damn, we have a much better tool for the job than that thing. He's a man of many talents, let me tell you. Took to it in no time. |

Rocket, Wes who is a member of Ukes Brag rode his mutant X1 to a best of 10.78 tonight. Thats on street tires, no wheelie bar & all Buell parts. XB heads, X1 cams I believe, etc. Nothing exotic or expensive. Doesnt take a wheelbarrow full of $$ to go fast, just some brains & some riding skill. |

Congratulations Aaron and Susan and especially to your young lady and her burgeoning machinist husband. Might be best for at least the next few weeks to limit his time spent around sharp spinning things. Suspect his concentration may tend to wander a bit. |

Peter: Paul ... kissing up isn't going to get you out of BBQ duty. Looking forward to it Josh; funny The rest of you; thanks for the vote of confidence. While I was growing up I spent summers riding a tractor - but I was quite proud that I finished mowing without taking out the barn, fence posts or anything else for that matter Henrik edited by Henrik on July 01, 2004 |
