WELCOME ME!
...I just joined the ranks of Motor City hardware donning dudes and dames around our globe to be enticed by the age old adage "there's no replacement for displacement!":nunchuk1:
Okay, so truth be told I'm a long-time Toyota driver come over to the BIG side, and a serendipitous sequence of spectacular circumstance selected to bestow this big behemoth upon me. WOOT!
An avid motorcyclist, crazy clown-car crispsupra project nut... and peculiarly verbose purveyor of vernacular redundant...
...I assure you a playful adventure as I acquaint myself with this venue... and would hope that I can learn from the collective experiences of you all, my newest best friends in the brotherhood V-EIGHT!
Loving my latest procurement, this 2002 Chevy Avalanche 1500 5.3l Z71 "Tupperware Truck"... (so I'm teased...) and looking forward to a new chapter in my experience automotive. Please welcome and help me to be a better trucker!

Pretty sure I'm not out for a fight!
(However, it wouldn't be the FIRST time I had to recover from a cyber-inked vagary of innocent intent due to non-congruency in perception...)
Here are some more PICS of my NEW DETROIT MUSCLE!:nunchuk1:
Managed to find a new place that just opened with their "soft-cloth" auto-wash running in the mid-teen temps yesterday... and for eight bucks I think it did a pretty good job on the 'lanche!
Lovin' the truck! Been wondering if "Sunset Orange Metallic" was the best choice for this... I'm thinking something more "macho" like "Kiln Fire Metallic" or "Brick Metallic" wouldn't have been better?
All the same, GREAT complimentary color to my wife's VOODOO BLUE FJ Cruiser, my Cosmic Blue Metallic Solara... and the Midnight Blue Metallic of my Supra!
WOOT!

Accent!? YES! MidWestern with a smattering of globe-trotting through the East! ...FAR EAST that is...
My speech is an amalgamation of life circumstance peculiar... and hence, may lend itself to conjecture. A toe-headed blue-eyed all-American kid... ...I have nonetheless extracted the affects of a rather traveled and culturally mixed youth and such as to afford me elements of speech chameleon in nature... a byproduct of environment and adaptation alike for sure.
Bike? Well... several. The TROPHY would have to be my 1986 Suzuki RG500 Gamma project bike. Over a dozen years in the making, this little liquid cooled stepped square four rotary valved repli-racer two-stroke wonder, is at the pinnacle of what epitomizes motorcycling's best from the '80s era performance vault. My specimen is the by-product of over a dozen years of progress from the original stock purchase, which all followed a PACT to SELF that I made the first day I laid eyes on one in the library of my high-school as I read the CYCLE magazine article on the RG in the December 1985 issue during study hall one day, 10 years prior to the purchase, almost to the day.
Here's a teaser shot and video clip:

^^^ If you consider that you are "riding along" on a 25 year old half-liter motorcycle... that's a good little rush! Listen closely to my "double-clutch" at the top of fifth to test for OFF/ON throttle carburetion. It catches PERFECTLY where it left off, and carburets smoothly without a hic!
Like being shot off an aircraft carrier by steam catapult.
