    Not to mention being fashionably late. Mind you, he made up for that in Kimbolton.

    Thinking of changing my handle to Rainman. If it rains on the next ride I go on I will.
    Hmmm I was thinking the same thing about myself...
    I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

    Glad you had a good ride.
    I was scouting round for your bike and checking the weather maps. I am not sure if the rain follows you or you follow the rain....but the weather was fantastic so I figured even the mighty roar of the ZZR couldn't shake moisture out of them clouds. Been proven wrong before.

    You only made it round alright cause you werent peddling hard enough.

    Yep. bits falling off the VN1500 sportsbike.. oops it is a cruiser isn't it? I am sure the salesman mentioned that when you brought it... you just werent listening. I am sure that you think those big round things out the side of your bike are stabilizers.. they are not.. they are mufflers!
    I wasn't going to mention my incident. Especially after some of the crap I let fly round here about people not being able to keep the rubber side down. Hey, at least now I know it *is* possible to pray to god, budda and the biker gods all in under 0.05 of a seconds cause I swore I was going for a big highside.
    I told you to lay off those pies.. Even the 1500 has a weight limit and the poor tyres just can't handle the strain.

    Just checking if they were still open. Didn't want you to wear your legs out peddling all the way up to Kimbolton to find they were closed.

    In the words of John Travolta... If you are important enough, they will wait.
