This is a good story. LOl I was going to buy a Yamaha 750 shaft drive. It was funny watching me taking it for a test ride. I'm up on those handle bars waiting for the front end to come up. LOL I was use to riding a XT 250 Yamaha. So I thought this has 750 CCs I better get as much weight on the handle bars as I can. Well needless to say the front end stayed down and I was riding it just like a dirt bike. Well he took me for a ride to show what it would do. We got on the Express way in Dallas. I looked over his shoulder. We were doing 130 mph. Scared me so bad I wanted to hit him. LOl Knew if I did he might wreck and kill us both.

I have another story about a 1958 HD that at one time had a suicide shift.

Well a friend of mine converted this HD over to a regular shift.We had been doing the good ole southern boy thing all day. Drinking JD and smokin the cash crop. Well he figured the HD needed some carbon released. Neither of us had a license. He had so many DUIs he would never drive again. No helmets. Well we take off and go down the creek road. It's a blacktopped 2 lane pretty straight in places. Well he is letting it out a bit. We are doing about 90 and all of a sudden I hear tires squealing and I look back I see smoke. This is at 90 miles an hour. Well we are sliding. I never saw a bike slide so straight in my life. We got to about 10 mph and he lays it over. I had a cold sweat going on pretty good. Well we couldn't push it the rear tire was locked up. So there we are in the middle of the road. We were about to leave it there and make a phone call just in case the cops came. Wouldn't you know a friend pulls up in a P/U. Took 5 of us; but we got it on the truck. The black mark was over 100 feet long. I have no idea why I'm alive today. Well like any good ole southern boy. We acted like nothing happened and kept on doing what he had been doing all day. LOL

Guys I grew up in the country. After I graduated high school. All hell broke loss. It wasn't only me. It was all of us. What a great time to turn of age. It was just fun. It was how life was suppose to be when you were young. If it felt right at the moment you did it. LOL

Remind me to tell you the story about the rich people and Labor day weekend. LMAO

Let me tell ya's a story about the scorpion (Jim) and the bull (Larry)...

The scorpion needed to get get across the river and went up to Mr. Bull and said "Please help me across the river". Mr. Bull says "No way, you'll sting me". Mr. Scorpion said "No I won't do that".

Mr. Bull says 'OK, but don't sting me"....the scorpion gets on the Bull's back and they cross the river...about half way there, the Scorpion stings Mr. Bull..."Why'd ya do that?"..."It's my nature" said Mr. Scorpion... :mrgreen: no animals were hurt in this recreation :reindeer:

Do you believe in onix in a young stu's heart
How the music can free him, whenever it starts
And it's onix, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time stuwee
I'll tell you about the onix, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll.

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I said there's no one else above you
Have I said it's just an Onix my dear...
Did you have to tell me I'm queer..
You should've been hit by a bu-uus
When there's no one left to trust
Then maybe you'll see the li-ight
And when I tell you it's alright
Just hold onto that kite
And it may just bring you ...

I seem to have confused someone about this post, so let me explain, the scorpion is Jim Eck, born under the sign of the Scorpio, not the other Jim scorpion8, Larry was born under the sign of Taurus the bull, the story was originaly told in the begining of the brilliant movie 'The Crying Game', http://www.spectacle.org/995/scorp.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , which is a play on the prisoners dilema from long ago. sorry if it was over the top, I thought it was funny guys :D , just some stuwee humor.

You got that right MM, With all the rain we had last week and now it being so dry, 5% humidity yesterday (a new low record for July in AZ) I've got bad nose bleeds, and don't sleep much, hence my wacky humor!! Did you ever see that movie 'The Crying Game'? Great flick! One of my favs :pirate: As an Irishman the storyline really hits home.
