He had a 69 Challenger and I had a 71 Coronet 440. He could have walked me, but I glance to the right and spot the front end of one of Warminster's Finest. I look back at him and say "go for it". He peels away smoke pouring from his wheel wells. I tootled away maintaining a nice 15 mph just like the law in a school zone. I passed him as he was handing the officer is license and insurance. I still laugh about that, and he is still pissed.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464143046998262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-68377017179074830182008-02-12T15:10:00.000-05:002008-02-12T15:10:00.000-05:00Jack,Fun read; thanks!Speed aside, I'd choose the ...Jack,<BR/>Fun read; thanks!<BR/>Speed aside, I'd choose the Honda over the Kaw any day. My first new bike was a CB450 (2 cyl). Honda also came out with a CB450-4, but by that time I had become smitten by the BMW mystique.<BR/>Are you going to do a piece about you riding your bike into the gas pump and knocking it over?motonomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957968205027911381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-78322833168725960992008-02-12T14:18:00.000-05:002008-02-12T14:18:00.000-05:00Another good one, Jack.

No puddles to mar the ride, though.MackBeemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192778310344466576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-3451497993884556552008-02-11T10:26:00.000-05:002008-02-11T10:26:00.000-05:00I fleetingly remember this story from an alcohol s...I fleetingly remember this story from an alcohol sodden night some years ago, in the company of both your good self and R.

Always worried more about an entropy driven collapse of the universe more than super-nova. Same effect on employment record.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on keeping it upright!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
