I would be deeply honored to be anything at all like your brother.
Dustoff
guys, to me, earned a seat next to Mother Teresa on the Holy outbound bus.

By the way, I'm glad to see that someone with his background agrees - I
loved
motorcycles in my childhood, but lost that love while laying under a
frickin'
Toyota, kicking the door in with my free foot. Its not so much that I
hate
motorcycles, I can't stand the cycle/car "interface"!!

Hey, I was just supporting your wife's correct intuition. I rode those
hardly diddlesons for 20 years and it was a lot of fun.
