My Harley does *not* leak oil ! It marks it's territory ...

And they, like dogs..love riding in the back of a pickup truck

Hey Gunner, this is 2005 man. Pickups are so yesterday, these days
they like to ride inside $100k double decker, enclosed trailers that
have a matching $100k paint job as th' $1M diesel pusher motorhome
that's pullin' it. Guess you haven't been to Sturgis lately g.

Chuckle..you are correct indeed. Dirt bikers here in California are
the same way..I run with them on the way home every Friday night as
they leave LA and head up into the Central Valley for the weekends
play.

Sounds like a cluster**** to me, don't know how you can do that
commute. I sure as hell couldn't.

I either work..or starve in a reefer box. Not a lot of work that a 52
yr old guy can do around here that will pay the bills. Maint worker in
a Nestle or Frito Lay plant maybe. Doing the 9-5 would be really hard
to get used to again..and I like my work, and I like being gone from a
moderately bad situation at home. Shrug. Though being away from my
toys most of the week is bad. And expenses are high.

Last time I was in Sturgis..I was servicing machine tools. Lots of
firearms manufacturers there these days.

Really? I guess it makes sense... major manufacturers?

I did make it to Sturgis once in a pickup...with my Pan in the
back...last Harley I owned...never again. Then I got smart..and
bought a boxer.

Yeah, always had a soft spot for those too. How far south of Sacto
are ya? I get down that way occasionally in th' summer and would be
happy to let ya take my cop bike ('95 FLHTP) for a spin. It might
just surprise you, pleasantly so. Just don't turn on Mr. Siren when
there's cops around g.

Snarl... no, I'm not a cop

I understand that Harely is much better now..since they went all
Yuppie and all. Im not the sort to want to be part of the Yuppie
Harley Lifestyle (tm) with HD on everything I own.

When I was riding every day..the only cleaning device I used..was a
putty knife a couple times a year. Maybe a pressure washer, if I hit
a coyote, and the smell got too rank. Shrug G

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
