Hi all,
I am the DesertWildman... been lurking here for awhile, finally registered last month & now, decided to fire up the fingers.
I am an ugly old biker who found out nearly a year ago that there was something better than tobacco. You see, I was a smoker for 35 years who one day woke up & didn't light up again. That lasted for about, oh, four years until I got tired of going out and being abandoned by everyone going out for a smoke. Didn't like the occasional cigarette I'd bum, but remembered that I really liked cigars & pipes.
Cigars are not conducive to the quick smoke run outside. By the time I got mine properly prepped & lit (I am partial to 50 & 55 ring,) my cigarette friends were back inside and on their third drink. Pipes are more fiddly, but tastier - still, they are a bit too sophisticated looking for the biker image... one day, thanks to a little hottie in a convenience store in North Phoenix (she let me try her EGO setup with strawberry juice,) I discovered there was something MUCH better & far more to my liking than than Blu & njoy.
So here I am... teens at home, Harleys in the garage & now a hobby that I enjoy.
No stranger to online forums - I used to own several & was a mod at many more - I do post prolifically at times, then vanish for awhile, only to come back again. Interests vary, you know...
Why DesertWildman? Easy - first off, I live in the beautiful Sonoran Desert of south-central Arizona. Many of you know it as the Phoenix area - if you don't know about Phoenix, you haven't been watching the weather on TV... we wear shorts on Christmas Day & bake cookies on the sidewalk in July. This time of year, we put out a lot more vapor than some of you because our attys are preheated. The Wildman part is equally simple - that is my road name... they don't do given names in biker circles - rather, they GIVE you one (think frat houses & Animal house and you're heading in the right direction.) I was given Wildman years ago because, quite frankly, I used to ride way too fast - like a wildman. There was never a curve that I didn't like dragging pipes & pegs & body parts on. Few people have seen ground speeds of 180mph+ - I've seen them on two wheels. On public roads. And am here to tell about it now.
No, I don't ride that fast now... 110 is generally my max. But hey, if I can ride with my lady on the back (have to have someone to hold my mod, ya know) I am happy.
Don't pity me for the temps here right now - I can leave right now & have dinner tonight where the temps are 70° and be home before my bedtime. And I can laugh at many of you come December - because I can ride and vape outside all year around.
Anyway - I am here to be a sponge for info, to help where I can and to be an arrogant SOB. But hey - I promise to treat you the way you treat me.
LLHR, my friends...
