Nothing "closet" about ETB's chauvanism!

Just wait until his 5 year old daughter gets a little older - she will show him who is boss.

And why not rhinestones on a flag - sounds like a great idea to me.

Hey PBzeer - can I borrow your "be-dazzler"?

Yes I know what you mean, I was never a fan of the old opposing cylinder bikes. Mine is their version of a sport touring bike. You can get the plastic saddle bags but I dont have them. Its just a high tech rocket. 169 HP, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, you can go 100 and drink a cup of coffee and be comfortable. It has cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, electronic suspension control, ABS kevlar breaks.

I ride a rice grinder these days. A Honda VFR 800 V-Tech. A gentelman's sport bike.

My first and last Harley was in 1966. it was (mostly) a 1953 80 cube. It had an overly long extension with a spoolie up front. Wouldnt corner worth a ding dong, was stable at high speed but took a freighters amount of time to slow down.

Dewey, a VFR 800 is a very quick bike.

Seeing as I always wear a full face helmet, it'd be tough to drink anything on any bike for me. Had my face and butt saved many a time by a full hat. I won't wear anything else.

For illustration purposes only...I also wear a full face..Arai of course. I just love how fast and smooth it rides. I get off after 12 hours of riding twisties and chuckle at my buddies on their Jap bikes who are just crippled.

Hmmm, the hardcore regs all ride bikes..Interesting. I will have to ponder this revelation. I have to run to pick up the squirrel. Hope for breezes!

I prefer to ride a horse.

He is a gelding of course!

Sweet as pie, but quick and spirited - if he is around any other horses, he makes sure to tell them that he is the boss.

But, with me he is a lamb (just like Surfesq)

One has to wonder if everything ETB does is fast. And just to date myself, the last scooter I had was a Norton. I kept the '70 Triumph GT6 I had when I moved on the boat, but don't drive, as it doesn't fit in the dinghy.

As to skirts, the way you dance around ETB, you must wear a tutu.
