barreling down the driveway after the very interesting BRONZ meeting, stopped, put a Johnny Reb down on half an inch of wet leaves and mossy concrete and it's keystone cops.

Crunch goes the XB12X.

Amazing bike. Not a scratch on it.

Popped the hand muffin off (Co-pilot speak) - snapped straight back on, there might be a tiny mark on it (muffin) - but it will take daylight to tell.

(I did similar to cruiser test bike and it cost $7K - doh!)

Worse thing about it all was I sqaushed the Cornetto that I stopped especially to buy ;-(

Ex-freezing works steel-caps with commando type soles seem to grip better than smooth-soled Johnny Rebs. :dodge: (or so I've found)

Atchally they are the HArley ones with the grippy rubber sole.

I should use them for kicking myself for just looking at the pile of leaves for three weekends in a row.

The hand guards on the ends of the handlebars.

The old girl is up North - you never know.

Up here where you can tell the difference between inside and outside of a fridge - we have these things called Ice Creams. They make an occasionally nice sugar hit treat. Old girls away - don't have to share - and I sat on the fuckin' thing.

What would you say if I told you Mr Ixion is now the president of BRONZ Akl?

Finn has been unbelievable - stoic - deserves an award.

Mac my man - why don't you tag along to the next one. Some of it is earnest discussion - but there are a bundle of laffs too.

When I calmed down I emptied it into a bowl and made a crnchiesmoothie.

F&#* Mac! - I have a hard enough time getting my sorry arse there - It's whatever yesterday was - every month. 3rd wednesday? at the Danish House in Penrose.

Password is 'Afganistan Bannistan' - helps if you can wear rubber for the initiation ceremony.

The stranger kindly reminds me of the meetings. (how weird is that)

Looking at that picture BD I think you damaged the front wheel? It looks like the blow has shortened it by an inch in diameter. But by some fluke the damage is evenly spread around the entire circumference. What are the odds of that! :dodge:
And you forgot to mention the broken centre stand strapped to back of the bike.
Now go and sweep up your yard.

There is something very alluring about those Buells but I found the price of 06 955i Tiger irresistible!

Took a long time for your vid to down load but I really enjoyed it.

Took me back to when I was a city dweller! (so long, long, ago)

Knew my way round all the little cuts and shortcuts etc but lost some skin learning it.

City riding reminds me of what it must be like riding through a giant mincemeat machine! :shit: Cheers John.

Oh dear I think I just made a mess.

Never thought I'd fall in love with a green bike... wtf?

So you should be more careful haring down the driveway. This isn't some lower-class American thing :)<hints id="hah_hints"></hints>
