    It feels wrong to be Pete's enemy now that I've got a Sportster.

    And he does have a fairly good reason to be pissed off.

    Let's see whether he's keen on the public apology idea.

    Sugar is not an additive, it's also in Steinie pure I'm sure you'll know.

    The apology is fine, and much appreciated. It's often harder than a biff in the face. Rach is pissing herself at me now. She thinks I'm a dick.

    Yes, I know I should ride them all and see. I will. In the mean time, lets have your thoughts.

    who is this person on jrandom's account?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Still reckon this is the way to go Alan!!

    To my mind Harleys only start to get good once you start customizing them. Otherwise you look too much like an accountant
