  • Just a nice feeling.

    Am staying at my buddy's house for the week, crankin' on a film project and trying to get it done. This morning I woke up to a note that someone wanted to make me an offer on the baboon.

    Just felt nice, is all.

    .. Don't do it man!... you'll be sorry!.. the emptyness left in your hart will not be worth the money, I swear man... you'll be sorry if you do. trust me, I have been there my brotha and it wasn't pretty.

    ..pretty cool feeling when someone else wants your bike too, isn't it?

      Oh, no worries on that front my friend - the baboon is going nowhere unless I'm on it with the wind in my face.

      This was just the first time this' happened, and ya know, it really DOES feel good when someone else wants your bike too.

        Read the post from a few weeks ago concerning the stolen bike. Someone wanted his bike, too!

            Someone mentioned stollen bikes....I had a 74' 750 Honda stollen many years ago.....back of a pick-up truck perhaps.....another near loss was my 1969 250 Kawi Samurai.....the guy got scared off by some good samaritans and left the bike perched upright on a stairway no less while trying to make his getaway! ......

                You're right, Guinea Pig. I should change my cold, cynical outlook on life, and devote myself to looking for love and beauty, wherever I might find it. Only then, will I be truly happy.

                    I haven't had any offers on my bike yet, although I have had several others asking me to sell my stock exhaust. Once you see it, and how much time I spend to keep it clean, you will understand.
