<<I feel sorry for those Chezhlneeeans. >>

I do too. Being shot or blasted in summer is bad enough. Something about being shot in winter makes it hurt more. Same with the Ruskies.

<<I don't like the idea of Russia beating up on them. Not one bit. I don't know why, I feel like they must be nice people who don't want to be Soviets, and I know absolutely nothing about them and they could be worse than Pakistani warlords. >>

Same as happened here, called the Civil War. Probably more suffering here. I remember where the troops fought in the woods and then during the night listened to the wounded screaming as they burned to death from the fires set by burning wads. Second verse the same as the first. Day after day......

<<I rode a motorcycle once though. I think it was a 125 cc Honda.

Kawasaki, maybe.>>

My starter bike was a 750 Kaw. 3 cylinders 2 stroke. I could do 150 in the standing mile with a terrified rider, all on the back wheel. Went to a 900 with a fairing. Used to put a bottle and ice and mix in the fairing and rubber band the throttle to make a cruise control. Set her on 100 on a two lane road, let go of the handles and get INTO drinking. I'm still alive so I must have quit doing that but I do miss it.
