    Hello all.

    I'm an American. I pose no threat...I'm just a guy on a bike.

    I'm into BMW airheads but I've owned and played with everything from Harleys to Hondas. I've worked as a motorcycle mechanic for a little while...now a student.

    I'm really interested in New Zealand. I'd love to visit and I suspect that I'd love to live there.
    cheers,
    Mike

    That's a win right there. We have oranges, lots of corners & our footballers do not wear tights. I'm sure you would really like it here.

    Tallahassee is the Capital but Tampa is the city where "The Punisher" was filmed. By chance, I was standing near the base of the bridge ("Sunshine Skyway") in the final scene just this morning.
