After some quality time in an F16, I gave up flying. I was never going to
get that ride again...
I woke up one morning and realized I had four of the most expensive hobbies
known to man; racing sailboats, racing cars, flying airplanes, and women. I
gave up on boats and planes. It took another 23 years to settle on one
woman. :)
The triumph collection is still growing though. Unless someone wants a
project TR6....
