i think we should extend that opening quote:

This is my XL.

There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

My XL is my best friend. It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

My XL without me is useless. Without my XL, I am useless.

I must ride my XL true.

I must ride faster than the "cagers" who are trying to kill me.

I must avoid him before he hits me. I will...

My XL and myself know that what counts on the road is not the money we

spend, the noise of our pipes, nor the smoke we make.

We know it is the ride that counts. We will ride...

My XL is human, even as I, because it is my life.

Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its

engine, and its tranny.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.

I will keep my XL clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God I swear this creed.

My XL and myself are the defenders of my sanity.

We are the masters of our freedom.

We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until there is no stress, but PEACE.

Nice...but a bit tooooooooo loooooong for the front page.
