    You can have mine.

    It's fukt but.

    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a depressing tale of a child's abuse at the hands of a crazy father. I loathe it. My opinion though.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It's just a shaky and turgid pseudoautobiographical clothesline for Pirsig to hang his ideas on. I kinda-sorta enjoyed the book, although I thought his philosophy came under the heading of pointless intellectual masturbation.

    By the way, given the coincidentally fortuitous turn of topic, does anyone like my user title? Nyuk nyuk.

    [Edit: is it not somehow appropriate that in my 3000th post, here, I manage to incorporate both a nine-syllable word and a tautology? Go me...]

    Might just have to watch those gutters on the bling bling mags though eh?

    What do they say about women and parallel parking...

    Jeez JR, do you read the Greater Oxford dictionary in the bog, or something?
    Zen and blah blah...
    I got as far as the title and there, on the bookshelf,it remains, thirty years later. Now I know what its not about, I'll leave it there for another thirty years.
    Hey you other 2 - you can have my 200 hrs as well - should be able to shoe in then - mind you, it'll have to be mainly on Piper Cubs, but that's not all bad.

    Hmm , considering that there was no parallel parking done while I had said vehicle and I wasn't the only one driving it the week before I used it....

    It's just easier to blame the girl driver, right :P

    Besides, I've _never_ written off a bike(or cage) or had a crash :P

    The only thing that I will admit to being my possible fault is any "Hypothetical' speeding tickets clocked over the the weekend. Man that cage is quick. It's just to damn easy to go past the speed limit accidently.

    I saw a licence plate surround that's perfect for my 'Rolla, '0 to 100Km in 5 mins'

    I need to go for a ride

    And here's me hoping for a couple of stanzas of iambic pentameter. Sigh. There's always your 4,000th post to look forward to...

    The post count caught me unawares. In fact, the manner of my ascension was so unremarkable, one might justifiably wonder...

    Was *that* the post that filled a triple star,
    and set the name of Random ranked afar?

    Come on, have a crack at one of your own, or an adaptation of some poor spinning-in-his-grave bard to a bike-related theme, or summat.

    See, now I feel unappreciated, after all that effort I put in with my poor strained not-very-creative brain, and on a Sunday afternoon too, I dunno...

    Poor Jrandom does thee feel offended,
    after all emotion you have upended?
    I tip my hat in your general direction,
    and leave these words for thourough inspection.
