Here on Saltspring we have the highest prices in Canada. about $1.35/liter which makes it about $5.50/gallon

Hey, if you go for that one I have a nice bridge I could let you have cheap. It's called "Golden Gate". Just imagine the tolls you could collect. P.S. cash only in used bills.

Good on ya! I will be insuring mine later this month. If you stay far enough ahead of the first gens you don't hear any whine.

I use an allen wrench but I also put my weight on the seat above the nut to ease the tension.

Congrats, You will not regret it. Enjoy life while you can. A word of caution.....it did not take long for She Who Must be Obeyed to discover a lot of things for me to do. None of them had anything to do with riding.

Anybody who deals with the public has stories which are next to unbelievable. After 11 years with the airlines and 25 with the ferrys I am ready to believe anything. Perhaps a good title for a new thread "Believe It Or Not".

Full instrumentation, and I find the front of the seat a little wide when stopped at a light or trying to maneuver in a parking lot. A little less weight would be nice. Did I mention full instrumentation? Love the looks and performance ( a little more power wouldn't hurt) but mainly full instrumentation, did I mention that?

I'm lucky, my wife won't let me play with her, she says I am not good enough. Golf!!! Play golf with her!

Where do you get lodging for $10.00/night? Is it a cardboard box in an alley? Looks like a bargan to me. They probably got a block deal on the rooms and need to fill them. See if they will give a reduced rate after all the rooms are full.

Three guys always played golf together. They decided one year that the next Christmas they would all meet to play golf on Christmas day. They figured they would have the whole course to themselves and could play as much as they liked. Next Dec 25 they all meet at the golf course. They ask the first guy how he did it. He said " I gave my wife two airline tickets to Paris and promised to take her shopping there next month. I also gave her a diamond bracelet. It was expensive but worth it." The second guy says " I bought my wife a new Mercedes and a diamond necklace and earrings. It was expensive but worth it." The third guy says " you guys are nuts. It didn't cost me a dime. All I did was roll over, smack her on the ass and say " It's a great day for sex or golf" and here I am.":cool10:

I loved Red, and he was never offensive, as some comedians are today. Red skeleton, W C Fields, Uncle Milty, Lilly Tomlin. They are all classic. That clip shows true heart.

I enjoy e mails and even forward the good ones. I just delete anything that says to forward to 10 friends etc. Before forwarding an e mail I hit "FORWARD" then type in the address but before hitting "SEND" I delete all previous addresses. Just click on to the start of the addresses and hold down the "DELETE" button, then send.

I like it. It is real easy to use now that I am used to it. Was on a bike with just a toe shifter recently and had a problem getting my big feet under the shifter. If I had another bike I would put the heel/toe shifter on it.

The Butlers ruled Ireland for many years. There was a blood oath that a Fitsgerald or a Butler (aka Fitzwalter) had to kill the other on sight. Fitzwalter was the family and Butler was the office which ruled. The family ruled for many years (after many bloody battles) and took the name of the office, "May you be an hour in heaven before the devil finds you are dead."

Very sorry to hear the news. I did not know him but the fact that many here did means he was a worthy person. Wish I had the chance to meet him. God Bless.

I would like one with a turbocharged V Max engine, just for fun.

I do not know how to get it over to this site but on Break.com there is a great video called Awareness test. It would make a wonderful motorcycle awareness video for the public;

We went to the north rim. The lodge is fantastic but also get around to princess point. Try to get there in the am.

Gettin old gets real old real fast. But still better than the alternative.

Had a great run on the Madura over the Malahat and was heading down a winding side road to catch the ferry back home. Came around a corner going fast and right on the line, a drop off on one side and a rock wall on the other; Instantaneous thoughts 1. Sh*t, had a great run and now I am going to wipe out on a stupid black dog. 2. Big black dog. 3. Realy big black dog! 4. Big black bear!!!!! 5. Man! Is he ever going to be pissed off when I hit him! Fortunately the bear heard me coming and shifted his ass to face me which just gve me enough room to whip past.

I rode into work one day, parked the bike and went on board and up to the cafeteria where the crew had coffee before starting the shift. Suddenly a wasp started stinging me on my waist. I tore off my leather jacket and it moved to my thigh inside my chaps. I frantically tore them off to get at the wasp. By now the girls were all applauding and shouting "take it off". It livened up everyones day.

Was heading out to Vesuvius just at dusk. Nice winding road. I had a full face helmet on (thank goodness). Just coming up to a 90 degree turn with a drop off on one side and a rock wall on the other. A moth the size of my thumb hit square in the middle of my face guard. I was instantly blind, all I could see was green goo. I desperately tried to picture the turn I was just entering. I made it and pulled over until I felt gravel then stopped.

You kids don't know what really, really bad is! Anyone remember "Tell Laura I Love Her"? That was perhaps the worst ever. I would break a leg trying to get to the radio in time to turn it off.

I usualy go for three or four serving portions right off the bat. The rice or salad can wait.

Thanks, I'll give them a try. There are so many recipies and so little time. My Rum ribs are real popular here.
