One of the problems of living in a fantasy world is that one can
imagine one's self in any manner. A big strong ex army hero riding a
motorcycle at 260 mph down a dirt road

No, no - he claimed it was _264_ mph, on a public highway. Even at that
(public highway), the claim is still nonsense. I have driven on all the
highways in that area, and there simply isn't one on which the condition
of the road surface would permit that.

(big grin) You pay more attention to his fantasies then I do :-) but
I think I recall that his buddy came over with this super motorcycle
that he had built - apparently to run on the salt flats - and let
Goober take it for a ride.

If you read MC discussion, you'll never see anybody asking how to
disinfect their seats, or dissolve sticky goo on their grips. That's
because no biker would let derelict Wieber on their ride.

I'm a long time rider and I've never seen a word from Wieber that
would convince me he has any motorcycle experience at all. It's quite
possible that his entire history with motorcycles is yapping about his
"leathers" and hoarding some old junk he got for peanuts, which will
continue to rot in his yard. Until he's evicted, at which point the
junk will go to the scrapper with everything else. He recently BSed
that he'd ridden as recently as 2009, but as expected, couldn't
produce any registration, something that would only take a few minutes
to prove his story if it were true.

Well, he has been claiming ownership of a inoperative Royal Enfield
motorcycle for some years now. I do believe that, although years ago I
owned and rode a Royal Enfield 350 cc that mechanically was one of the
simplest motorcycles I had seen. The fact that he can't yet fix
whatever was wrong doesn't say much for a mechanically genius who owns
his very own engineering company.

Even if somebody fixed it for him, for free, it would still be yard
bound for lack of insurance and registration, same as Hotel Econoline.

It's a yard decoration, like a garden gnome with wheels. d8-)

That's pretty good. How about some custom lyrics. "Plannin' the great
cull from the back of my van," etc.
