Re: Happy Birthday Pink!

Post by pink_trike »

"Trike" in my username refers to the three jewels and the three vehicles (pink refers to the union of red and blue which represents the union of wisdom and compassion - actually lavender, but too long to type all the time). Not into biker culture - I like that the energy footprint is very low, they're easy to find parking for, and in the past I've used riding a motorcycle as Chod practice - looking danger and impermanence spang in the eye with every ride (though I'm pretty much through with testing speed limits). :smile:

This is the one that catches my eye - Honda 1800 Spyder

Okay, cool. I was wrong about the meaning of trike in your username, but you actually like trikes anyway.

They look great. I also like the low carbon footprint of motorcycles and trikes. But now some of the hybrid cars can get as good of a gas mileage as our motorcycles! But it is still more fun to ride a bike over a car.

Happy belated, hope you had a great one.

Thanks, Tex. Thanks, again everyone. :thanks:

I had a great birthday. The older I get, the better they are. I was just sitting here thinking about birth - since that's what birthdays point at...and concluded that birth and life are just phenomenal, in every sense of the word. What an opportunity our lives give us.
