    Hey Snow, Stralya is right and also when you have all that gear on it is way easier in the event of a regulator failure to reach low behind you to turn the valve on and off to breath your way out. We practice that proceedure on a regular basis

      Higher forms of life such as ET's have less body hair.

        I've had a full beard, no beard, Amish beard (full beard, no mustash,) mustash, and goatee. I now sport "mutton chops:" i.e., mustach and sideburns without the beard. Sort of the opposite of a goatee. I've settled on this style because I have a rather long and gaunt face otherwise!

        My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
        I've been riding since 1959.

              You shouldn't be riding at all if you shake that bad
              Or did you accidently step on the mouse's tail?

                  Wow! No idea what happened there! I have a new dsl service with Comcast: maybe that has something to do with it.
                  So you can dock me for a dozen post, Ken.
                  P.S. Lets see if it happens again.

                    Old Bastards

                    I have always had some kind of facial hair when I could grow it. Sideburns were always a challenge . When I could grow a full beard it was better. Had some deadly biker goats when younger. Mostly had the full beard and sorta long . I always trimmed gray and through the years ended up with less beard . I've shaved it all off once or twice but it made my daughter cry as she couldnt recognize me . So... now that I've joined the Old Bastards M.C. , I try to look accordingly and let it all hang out .

                      Axel, is that the "Crippled Old Biker Bastards," or another old biker bastard club with which I am not familiar?* Just wondering: I just might qualify.

                            Hey Axel....
                            How far from the 'Old Bastards' home base are you? I was beginning to think that you were south of the border projecting a residence in the 'Great White North'! After all, Ontario Canada is such a small place... merely a speck on the world map.
