Years ago I "owned" a harley

Post #56,026 by boxley 10/10/02 2:43:42 PM Reply	Years ago I "owned" a harley stopped riding when I realized thar sharp right hand turns at speed from pavement to gravel often meant picking gravel out of my ass. Since getting wiped and then getting wiped wasnt too productive I moved on and to Alaska where biking is a 2.5 month pleasure maybe and got out of the habit. I am thinking of a bike for here but will NOT be harley because I dont want to be identified as a tubbie and dont own a set of colors for I am by nature not a joiner. Thinking an old BSA or moto guzzi. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Therefore, by objective standards, the leading managers of the U.S. economy...are collectively, clinically insane."

Some of the Harley riders we have here are overweight now, and many have long white beards and hair, but they still have their leather jackets and boots, and would still "Rather Eat Worms than Ride a Jap Bike". They're milder now than they were, but I still wouldn't recommend messing with them. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

I remember lazily negotiating a canyon rode near Malibu, one with precipitous dropoffs and pitiful guardrails - when SZHROOM! - these shirtless X-ers passed me going at least 70 or 80. I could only shake my head in wonder at the value these two placed on their lives. -drl

One Suzuki pilot made the paper this week by fleeing from the police. Intersectioned an Excursion at the hard end at 90+ and rides no more (no injuries in the Excursion). Don't see shirtless ones in my area (probably mostly in the beech communities), but a lot in bike matching $1500 leathers and $450 helmets.

Also substituting the wrong short word - e.g. "and" for "are". -drl
