WooHoo I’m top five!!! Will this give me any points and bring me up a notch? : ) And since I must be the only twit who don’t tweet… the leather vest… cool but not my style.

You’re worth visiting and exchanging conversation with.
P.S. I don’t tweet, either, Fasthair. Maybe someday.
Geez….. I don’t even want to think about gathering that data from my blog. I don’t think blogger has any simple way to extract that information. I sort of post and never look back. And I’m getting worse I think as my writing heads further and further into drivel…
You have really strong posts. Useful, informative, relevant and the kind of thing riders can actually use. No wonder Google prizes them.
As far as irondad goes — he’s a chatterbox and you just can’t shut him up!

@fasthair: You weren’t that far behind Tedder.
@irondad: Thank you. Re: Twitter, you’re really not missing too much!
@Steve Williams: I gleaned the first list from Google Analytics and the comment-related ones by direct queries to the database. It’s a fringe benefit to hosting a blog on your own, which in itself is a blessing and a curse…
Wow I made the list…impressive. I’ve been MIA for a while since my surgery (shoulder – planned) and the SV is parked gathering dust while I go through physical therapy. If you ever felt like you getting tired of riding your bike…trying commuting in a car for a couple months. You’ll never miss it again.
Stacy, just wondering… how long having you kept this blog? I’ve only found it (thanks to Fuzzy) this pact year.
Regardless, I think it’s great and and I’m looking forward to more of Bolty.net in 2010!
@LifeOn2Whls: Oof, sorry to hear about your surgery. Sounds like you’re on your way to healing up. Thanks for the reminder to appreciate what I have!
@soth: My first post was published on June 27, 2007! Time certainly flies.
How much credit do I get for commenting on the “top 10 commenters” post? :-/
Howdy,
I took the holiday’s off from practically everything and am still catching up on all my reading.
I think that most of your traffic comes from search engines because we probably all subscribed via a reader and click on a link to read or comment.
