age 36.
Rides I've owned over the years:
1980 XL 185
1981 XR 200
1982 Yamaha Seca 550
1987 Yamaha TT 350
Planes I've flown when I was $ingle:
Aeronca Champ 85 Hp, no radios & heel brakes.
Cessna 150's
Cessna 172
Cessna XP 172
When I figure out what I want to be when I grow up maybe I'll start flying again.
I'm thinking about applying for the NBC show "Fear Factor" so I can make an easy $50K! mmmmmm Tasty bugs! Toughest stunt they've had contestants do was the hanging yellow car deal in the first show.
So for now I'm getting in shape for my next Firefighter Physical Agility Test or "Fear Factor" whichever crosses my path 1st.

How about a poll for the average weight of the KLR Lister? LOL
I've lost a considerable amount of lard since I've changed my eating habits in the last year. I'm sure glad my wife didn't give away all my "famine" clothes. The KLR is tad snappier this year

My ex-fiance used to own a 150 Aerobat. I had somewhere around 50-60 hours hands-on (the plane guys) with her in the passenger seat. Too bad she wasn't a CFI so I wasn't able to log it.. but I've been looking at them again lately. Gotta get the bike first!> Planes I've flown when I was $ingle: > Cessna 150's > Cessna 172

I started in a Cub, then graduated to a Cessna 140 tail dragger. Haven't flown a light plane since I was 18. If you really want to fly for fun, try one of those powered parasails. No fear, but they are a
kick in the ass!

Flying was great but the best part was getting over it. Gliding is real
flying.

I think you are right, although I have never had the pleasure of soaring.
