The defendant pled guilty today. When he heard the news, he was ecsatatic. Not just becuase the guy pled, but because he could now use the vacation day he took for the trial to take his brand new motorcycle on its first jaunt. I immediately thought of this blog.Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220841242663942631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950488057894149622.post-14800495313356010532007-03-11T17:54:00.000-04:002007-03-11T17:54:00.000-04:00Yeah, thats what I'm talkin' about!

I know exactly squat about bikes, but I do like things "retro" and simple. If I was gonna buy a bike, I think those new Indians are the ones that seem the most "me." However, you certainly make the Bonneville a hell of an attractive option! I'm psyched for you to get yer ride on!

At least I left last season's oil in it, though. (Or did his leak out?

I behaved badly , went to bed slept woke up showered, and hopped on the Bonnie for a ride and to dry my long parted down the middle hair. <BR/> About twenty minutes into the ride the rear wheel locked up as did the engine and I skid to a stop from sixty to zero in ,I dunno how long but pretty quick. I was near a farm house so I walked up knocked on the door and the man that answered helped me load the bike into his pick up. We chatted on the trip to my folks house , he was a Harley Rider, (no electric start) he refused money, a real biker. <BR/> My dad was not to pleased, but it turned out the mechanic diagnosed that the engine seized because it had no oil...I was off the deep shit list onto the shit list...I love the old triumphs and the new retro ones, the ones that fill themselves with oil.josh williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442585673603814615noreply@blogger.com
