Here in Los Angeles . .

Post #56,098 by Andrew Grygus 10/10/02 10:28:41 PM Reply	Here in Los Angeles . . . . we're pretty much devoid of the yuppy Harley riders - they must all be up in Silicon Valley, San Francisco and other "botique" towns. 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. Best description I've ever heard was made up by Sandra (whom I haven't seen for 20 years now): Kabuki Insects [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Post #56,493 by deSitter 10/13/02 11:28:02 AM Reply	Worse Since I've been writing a great deal, I've noticed that I substitute homophones in places automatically - really annoying, don't know if this is age, beer damage, or just going verbally ass over teakettle. Also substituting the wrong short word - e.g. "and" for "are". -drl
