Motorcycling

.

I purchased my first bike, a 2007 Buell Firebolt XB12R on July 10th, 2007. I later purchased a 2008 Buell 1125R 25th Anniversary Signature Edition which I bought new and have ridden on for over 63,000 miles as of April, 2011. Unfortunately it's been having some issues after a botched maintenance service and I've parked it for a while :'-(... I got my wife a 2007 Harley-Davidson VRSCAW V-Rod, but it was too big for her and had quality issues, so we traded it in for a 2010 Yamaha FZ6-R in April, 2011.

Wikipedia Name Change

. I owned 3 Handspring Visors including the original 2mb Visor Solo and the first ever 16-bit color PDA, the Visor Prism. I even had the VisorPhone! I have since moved on to the Android platform having owned the first Android phone, the HTC Dream aka T-Mobile G1. I subsequently had a Samsung Galaxy S aka T-Mobile Vibrant, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One (M8), and currently use a Nexus 6. I'm a fan of third-party ROMs and have been using Dirty Unicorns for a while as well as AOKP and CyanogenMod previously. Fortunately, accounts can be renamed!
