The HK people here are ok since the road systems here takes all judgement out of the equation; it's bad in Richmond cause of the North American system of assuming the drivers have some good common sense... i.e, you don't merge onto a highway of cars moving at 100+kph by stopping at the on ramp and then slowly try to enter the highway.... And I ride a zx14r now, I would never use a scooter here, they totally look down on scooters and they don't have enough power or brakes to get out of trouble, one rev from my 2 bros exhaust usually either wakes them up or gets me out of danger. The lessons from Dat Louie has served me well and kept me accident free for 10 years since I got my bike license now.

You should get back into it, never too late =)
nah, i think that ship has sailed for me. i'm at the age where goldwings start to look good, and that depresses me.

i had asked you about the mining part because back in the day when about to graduate from high school i was going to enrol in the Mining & Mineral Exploration Technology at BCIT... but then the economy tanked and mining was almost dead in BC and i bailed for something else. how times have changed.
