Welcome SonnyD

[snuffaluff]

Just saw your first and second post on the motocycle thread and thought I'd give you a welcome to the community thread. :D

So, Welcome to the boards...

[SonnyD]

Well Thank you very much:) ....I didn't see an introduction forum so I just kind of Jumped in.
If anyones interested, I live in the midwest, Kansas to be precise. I'm retired after 30 years from a local government, and now work part time 20 hours per week for a Auto parts store.
Seems like through the years I've collected lots of things, be it Motorcycles, Watches, Guns, Knives, RC cars, and seems like I've had about every hobby imaginable.
My knife collection isn't real big, about 50 or so, but I use all of them, and I don't really have anything very valuable. My highest price knives are by Benchmade, which I have 8 or so. At the moment I have 4 Spydies, 3 Delicas, and a new Endura 4 Foilage green that I got last week. I've got some Cold Steel, and SOG, Camillus, Emerson, and some others. I also have some nice Pocket knives by Queen, Henckel, Hen&Rooster, Remington and others.
I just recently got back into Spyderco's though, I didn't realize how many models they now have. I don't have any good knife shops near me to check any of them out though. I'd really like to see and handle one of the D'allara's, I really like that ball lock.
I can see myself really getting into Spyderco's more and more, the prices are definitely right, and I'm really impressed with the new Endura I bought. I like Liners, and adjustable tension, so I really like the new models.

I've been checking around and trying to find out, but I havn't found my answer, Do D'allara's have Liners? I don't see it mentioned on the Spyderco site, or in any of the ads.
Well, I'm starting to get long winded, Thanks for the Welcome, it's appreciated:)

Regards Sonny

Welcome Sonny, yes D'allara's have liners.
Very solid knife

[Chucula]

Welcome!

[A.P.F.]

Welcome, Sonny! I think that you would love the D'Allara. It has full liners, a supremely comfortable grip, and the smoothest action I have experienced with any knife. Oh yes, the price is great as well.

[SonnyD]

Thanks for the Welcome Guys....and Thanks for the Info. about the D'allara, I have a strong feeling it's going to be my next knife purchase!:)

Regards Sonny

I'll bet the TLR sounds great Sonny,what's the pipe?

The exhaust is Yoshimura RS-3's with Carbon fiber body, they have the Race baffle in them, not too loud like a straight pipe but a good V-Twin Rumble.
The first pic....is the bussiness end:) ......and the second just a side view.

Very nice Sonny.I remember being at NH International speedway in '93 I think,when the Ducati 916 started on the Superbike series.What a sound!

[SonnyD]

Thank You.............I had a Ducati 996 for a while, my neighbor has a Monster SR4, a 907ie, and a 999S.....we always manage to get quite a few looks when people hear the bikes rumbling along down the street:)
