I complained about the whine until I talked to a friend who rode a Triumph. Man! We got nothing to whine about.

We got wet but not too cold for the next month.

I get quite a bit, but after a while she quiets down. It is the hammering on the helmet when I get up to 85 that is really annoying.

Should have told him it was just too yummy to give up.

Laid mine down and did as advised. Turned and backed to the bike, bent the knees, got a good grip and stood up. It works.

Your calls and pressure probably " red flagged " them and indirectly led to their arrests. You probably helped get them off the streets.

I am at the end of my rope on the RSV not turning over

Could also be kick stand switch. Start with the simple things first. -
Getting old is better than the alternative. Hope you keep on getting older for a while yet. Went in to get my prescriptions re-newed. Doc said "No way, with you there is always a surprise, we are doing a full physical." A week later the doc calls and tells me he wants me in his office ASAP. His nurse calls with the same message, his secretary also calls. I am thinking " Holly Cra* they found something serious, perhaps the cancer is back." I show up and he looks at my file and makes Doctor noises then tells me that outside of the weight I am perfect. Scared the heck out of me.

We have lots of them, I believe you call them politicians. We have a huge turkey factory based in Ottawa. Each province produces it's own type of turkey which is then sent to Ottawa. That is where all the squawking, gobbling and cra**ing goes on.

Had a great Thanksgiving dinner yesterday with the gang. Had another great one today with the relatives. Going to have another one tomorrow at the Legion. SWMBO has informed me I am going to exercise 3 times a week starting next week. Help! I think all you guys near the border are missing a good deal. Go north for the first dinner and south for the second.

Was he riding a Harley? Just asking.

Whenever something like that happens to me I just "Consider the source". The opinion of a moron means nothing.

We went on an Alaska cruise a couple years ago. The White pass railway out of Skagway is terrific. To think that all those gold seekers followed the same trail with 2000 lbs of supplies is incredible. We had gone on a Panama canal cruise 6 months earlier, turned out to be on the same ship and some of the crew even recognized us! You can usually get a cheaper rate if you can provide the numbers. We went by float plane from Saltspring to Vancouver and returned the same way.

Just had some friends from OZ and Kiwi land visiting. Merry Christmas to everyone down there.

The only thing more dangerous than a woman driving a mini van is a woman on a cell phone while driving a mini van ( sorry ladies, but is is usually women driving the mini vans). I would love to get a jammer or two and I know friends who would buy them as well. We all know politicians are gutless.

I guess being "pooped" or going for a stroll on the poop deck is also out. Some time ago we had a group of women, who all seemed to be of a certain persuasion, who decided they were going to "clean up" the language used aboard ship. We did our best to help. I suggested they change "grease nipple" to "lubrication insertion orifice", "breast line" to " line that goes from the pointy end ( cant have "bow" as it implies submission) to part way back to the blunt end ( can't have stern as that implies discipline or B+D). "Breastworks" would become "the big steel thingy that goes across the front of the deck that everyone leans on" etc. After three years they had managed to change "Gingerbread men" to "Gingerbread persons" on the menu.

I would really like to have them. I too would prefer a tach in the package but it is not vital. Pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff but if the instructions are good I will give it a try.

Anyone remember The Bickersons?

"Freddy the Freeloader" didn't even need to talk.

I was born in Galahad Alberta (population 50 on Saturday night...that is when they cleared the back of the store and put up a bed sheet to show a movie on. ) When my wife (SWMBO) refers to me as "Sir Galahad" I know it is time to run.

My usual nick names are Mr. B or KB. Being conservative here we don't go in for that innuendo (is that Italian?) kind of thing of thing. Mind you the sailing club we formed is "The Raunchy Ganges Yacht Club" and we do go sailing out by Beaver Point. We don't have rendezvous, we have raunchyvous. I do enjoy having the ladies come up and say "Hi Sailor". How does it go? " Political Correctness is based on the false premise that it is entirely possible to pick up a tu*d by the clean end" or something like that.

I like my Midnight Venture but whoever is designing the rest of those bikes needs to quit taking those bad drugs.

I took early retirement. I did not like where the company was headed, trying to grab the pension funds, so I got out early. Fly in the ointment...the wife retired at the same time. Now I am busier than when I worked but I don't get paid for it. Between the bike, the hot rod, the Legion, the house, helping friends ( gotta sell that truck) etc, I don't know how I ever had time to go to work. I keep telling the wife " I am 65 now, I can only do the things I want for another 10-12 years so I am going to do them now". Lots of time to sit in a rocking chair and think dirty thoughts later, right now I want to build fuel for the memories. Don't put things off, you never know. Enjoy life while you have it, you don't know how long it will last.

OOOOOHH! Can't top that one!

Yep, I remember him. It seems the performers in that era had to be much more rounded than today. They had to be able to do stand up comedy, sing, dance, do drama, etc. I think it is because they all started out on the stage and had to be adaptable. Remember Jimmy Durante? Another great performer. Remember his closing line "Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are." Nobody knew what it meant untill he retired. He finaly told the story. When he was a young performer doing stage acts and struggling to make it he rented a room from Mr. and Mrs. Calabash. Coming home from the theater one night he overheard Mrs. Calabash say to Mr. Calabash " B****j**! You will get a b***j** when that skinny kid upstairs appears on TV." Ergo the closing line in all his TV shows. !
