Hot off the presses...biker_dude43

What do you do for a living?
Financing the wife’s happiness … and when she needs more, I pretend I’m an Electrical Engineer.

How long have you owned your FZ6?
Own my blue ’07 since August, 2007

What other modes of transport do you have?
1980 Chevy Step-Side (trying to convince the wife it’s a classic), Pontiac Vibe, looser cruiser (Olds minivan), 3 mountain bikes, roller blades, and bus tickets… does that count?

If you could have any bike what would it be?
I have it, but if you want to buy me a Kawasaki ZX-6R, I’ll ride that.

What are your hobbies apart from the bike?
Anything radio controlled, photography, CNC machining, mountain biking, and keeping the wife happy (more of a chore really).

What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?
Barbados was cool. The people, the climate, the friendliness, and just hangin’ in the Caribbean. Besides, it was the only place the wife was actually lost for words.

Describe yourself in three words?
Some might say I’m wife beaten, spineless, and whipped, I think I’m tolerating, forgiving, and master of my kingdom.

If you could redesign any household (including garage) appliance what would it be and why?
The fridge and freezer; have an automatic online scanning and database inventory system that keeps track of what’s in there. We’ve got crap at the bottom of our freezer chest suffering freezer burn and green things growing at the back of our fridge from a year ago.

Which invention in history would you most like to have come up with?
Electricity, simple really.

If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?
Those people who think they can butt in line, what are they…, line butters, damn them all!

If you were forced to entertain us all at the Forum Christmas party - what would your talent be?
Comedy, possibly, but only after the wife and everyone else is completely plastered. I can’t stand rejection.

Snow or beach?
Snow in the mountains, and beach when I’m on vacation.

Windows or Mac?
Windows, but I like the MAC commercials, cancel or allow?

F1 or MotoGP?
Who’s got time? I’m either doing the honey-do’s or out riding.

Which track or album rocks your boat?
Bryan Adams – Summer of ‘69

What is your favourite film?
Pirates of the Caribbean, savy?

Meat or Veg?
Meat, slide me over some Alberta grade A beef!

What is your favourite beverage?
The real thing.., Coke a Cola

And finally, your number one rule in life?
When the wife’s happy, everyone’s happy.

I'm with you on those Q cheats, or those cage drivers who cut in at the last moment when the lane they are in goes into yours.

Is there a support group you need to join mate LOL.

Great interview, I would stay sober at the X-mas party to here your stand up routine. Your a very funny fella.
Not as in:

"Funny! What I amuse you" "Do you think I am some sort of clown" You know just funny.

True that! Anyone can fly a kite in the rain. LOL. I was thinking more along the lines of this...

As for the rest of you, I'm not

! Really, I'm not. Just whatever makes her happy, then I can go riding.
