i ride an sv currently, and have been for about 7 years. i don’t think i can ever give up motorcycling! i wrote a piece, ‘trimming down expenses with 2 wheels’, in case you might be interested?

Unfortunately, the only time I made it into Ireland was the airport, where I was sure to grab a couple pints of Guinness. They were wonderful, as expected.

The British pubs are also wonderful. My friend was in a band in England and I twiddled knobs on the sound board. We had so many wonderful evenings in the pubs. Great times that I will remember forever.

Thanks for the tag. It was fun to come up with 7 random things which can be hard to think about considering my life has been random.

Did you ever get a chance to visit Irish pubs when you were over the puddle? I am curious which is more favorable, British versus Irish pubs?

No, only the Marmite part. I know Plonkee is a fan of it. I was actually thinking about the word manky the other day and how much I dislike the word. I thought it would be fun to write it. It is a little off the wall.

I do like England though. I really enjoyed living there for a few years, and wouldn’t mind going there again.

As for skydiving, we went and paid for it, but the storms came up too quickly and we had to cancel. We got a refund and I haven’t tried to do it since then. Maybe one day!

Sky diving? You are a brave man!
