When I add people to my contact list in my phone, I always make some sort of note in the name in attempt to help me remember who they are according to how we met or what bike they ride. For examples: Jay-naked blue SV, Jason-work, or Eric-CF (and yes, I use screen names
![]() ![]() My note taking failed me tonight. I got a text a little while ago from a guy who's name was tagged with a bike. I haven't talked to him in months, so I didn't recognize who it was much less the bike. He apologized for not having contacted me sooner, gave a plausible excuse (terminally ill parent who died, which I can understand having recently going through it myself). He said he remembered I worked nights, hence the late text & wanted to know if I was still riding my SV. I'm sitting here wracking my brain over who the hell this could be & hesitated to answer. Apparently my first impression was good enough to give him my number, but for the life of me I couldn't place him. Before I had a chance to respond, he shot me another text asking if I remembered him & telling me what street bike he rides. So I shot one back to him, "I'm really sorry, I don't remember. I've met other bikes since then!" ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyway we texted for a little while & we're meeting up to go riding tomorrow. He also has dirt bikes & maybe on another day we'll go do some trail riding. I haven't ridden dirt in over a year because mine died & needs a rebuild. He said he had plenty of dirt bikes & I could take my pick. It sounds damn tempting but I'm not going to go off riding with a virtual stranger on some secluded trails. Besides, he hurt my height-pride when he said he had one that was "just my size" -- a CRF 150. WTF? I've ridden a KX125 at track, although not very well...I do better on trails...and my SV is bigger than the CRF! Bah! ![]() Anyway, I'm going riding tomorow with a new person. I hope my first impression of his riding style is right & he doesn't ride too squidly. I remember he was wearing good gear, which is not normal here. Hopefully I have found a new riding friend. ![]() Edit to correct: he said the xr50 was my size but I could try to the CRF.....Grrr.....

I do something similar. In my case, when I put someone's number in my phone, I add what state they're in to their name, as I know several people with the same name who live in different states. Traveling all over the place will do that.

I also add screen names to the numbers. I have a few contacts that are only screen names. I use my calendar and email on my phone so much, I can't remember the last time I used Outlook
