Wearing what? I was wearing dress slacks a Dress shirt, and a jean
jacket with motocross gloves.
Give me some time guys, remember I bought the bike before I had a helmet
or a license.

I know. I was asking the sarcastic question 'cause most everything is
about some other bull.
Someone was razzing me because I only had 1000 mile in three months. I
figured I might could draw out a discussion about motorcycles.

My R1100GS has had two trips to the shop recently over a mysterious
malady that I don't think replacing the battery will solve. Now I don't
trust it for longer trips. :(
But I've put over 71,000 miles on it in ten years, and it's loads better
than that awful R1100R with knackered shocks I got as a loaner some
months back.
My Spagthorpe War Mastiff is too damn expensive to run, what with these
high fuel costs. I'm thinking of replacing the W-20 with a Ford big
block 8. It won't have nearly the power, though, but I suspect I can get
VFR certification for it.
(Hey, am I going to have to set up spagthorpe.com as a Drupal site with
forums, blogs, page comments, and all that?)
