2012 has been an interesting year...Leslie got a new job and is now working for BC Transplant as an Organ Donation Coordinator and Organ Donation Specialist.
Cheryl continues to do well in her police career and we got engaged. Wedding will be next August 2013. More info please read below.
Cheryl and I met in 1997 in Bellingham, Washington. We kept in touch over the year via the internet plus flying back and forth. Before we both knew it I moved all the way across the country to a new country no less in march 1998 and been here ever since. I, meaning Leslie grew up in New York on Long Island where her family still remains except my brother.
Went to College in upstate NY and grad school back on Long Island where I got my Masters Degree in Social Work. In 1999 I started working as an Intensive Care Unit Social Worker at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, BC and loved my job after all those years.
Cheryl grew up in the lower mainland of BC and many of her family members are here as well. Beautiful place to grow up and go to school. Throughout Cheryl's teenage years and adulthood she worked for her mother's family business. However, at the ripe old age of 35 she decided to embark upon a career in law enforcement which she has been enjoying for over 5 years. Cheryl has found a passion within the Police force working with kids in schools.
We have been together as partner's for 15 years and after Cheryl graduated Depot (Police Training) we both got motorcycles and our licenses. I grew up on bikes and Cheryl always wanted to learn to ride. Learning was easy for Cheryl and getting back on a bike for me just made sense. Cheryl thinks I am obsessed with bikes but to be honest once she is on the road I can't stop her.
Cheryl loves video games, I love wild life, Cheryl dreams about white sandy tropical beaches, I dream about seeing the polar bears in Hudson Bay, Manitoba.
Opposites attract and we both share a passion for adventure motorcycle touring. We learned this after buying our first 2010 BMW F650GS bikes. We travel well together making sure we are both taking care of ourselves. Cheryl is the brains, mechanic, navigator and packer, I am the organizer/planner.
Cheryl is the quiet one, I am the loud New Yorker. Cheryl loves video games, I love live web cams featuring Bald Eagles, Falcons, osprey's and Owls. In the end it seems to work.
I like it. We try to use our Sena units with multiple riders and sometimes getting everyone synced is a pain. I also like the “call all” feature and FRS communication. Trouble is in a world of multiple selection getting everyone to buy the same thing is unrealistic. What I would like would be an industry standard comm system (FRS?) that allows all units to communicate no matter what the brand etc.
No..I meant the ad? Don’t you find it strange? We love our G4′s but this ad to me is very weird…
No, the ad does nothing but make me want to stay away from this product. Reminds me of a Japanese Godzilla movie. Sorry that’s my opinion. The product looks to have some very neat features.
Oh it’s a great product just not sure what this ad is all about. But Cardo uses weird videos advertising their system. They have a bubble bee one and that too is strange.
OK the add. Well it uses sex, futuristic images, fast vehicles. Not a lot different than T-Mobile or a large percentage of other adds out there. At least it did not also include a monkey.
I am going to be posting the new gear by KLIM for “girls” soon…sometimes I really feel we still live in the ages where sexism trumps and wins with ads. I am not a raging feminist but I find these ads very out dated. But alas, they still seem to work.
I use the G4 and love it so I’m glad I never saw that ad as I probably wouldn’t have bought it. Clearly I’m not the demographic they’re targeting. Cheers.
Not only is the ad stupid but I find the music to be equally offensive.
It’s a bit Wilma Deering meets The Angels in an explosion of retro 60s sci-fi kitsch. This is reinforced with suggestive and slightly homoerotic dialogue between our heroines, one of whom is momentarily lured, while en route to an unmentioned pillow fight, by a siren of a chap, who, like all men, sits around in waiting admiring his perfect swimmer’s build body in an off-camera full length mirror. But, in the end, we know where her heart lies, as she dumps the layabout and ends up chained to a pole, requiring her one true spandex-clad love to embark on a mission fraught with danger to rescue her, after which the duo presumably resumes their journey to the aforementioned pillow fight. To which they will now arrive fashionably late, of course.
There is a plot hole, perhaps deliberate? Why didn’t our trapped, raven-locked woman call upon her double-duplicate-auto-orgy-mode to rescue her while she was chained to the pole? Clearly she preferred to be rescued by her accomplice… ahhh those feisty kids.
Am I offended that the man in the film is depicted as a wanton sex object with his chiseled classic looks, precision manscaping and spray-on tan? No, but then again I probably wouldn’t get on with his mates anyway.
As for our heroines, one more observation—anyone who can prance around the desert in those 6″ stilettos (and tolerating the associated bunions) without rolling an ankle or ending up with patellar dislocation is sedulous to say the least.
I think the video doesn’t take itself too seriously, and by drawing on influences from a slightly more naïve era, it is somewhat refreshing compared to many other ads in our PC-gone-mad world.
But does it sell intercom headsets? Not to me, I already have a Sena headset.
Yeah, what he said
