    rear end shocks

    “I just bought HWMBO some Progressive shocks for his rear end... but he put them on the bike instead and really seems to love them. He says they make a world of difference...”

    I just had a prostate biopsy. It rates right up there with root canal’s and colonoscopies when discussing unpleasant procedures. I wonder if “Progressive Shocks” would have made an improvement on my “rear end?"

    Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!

    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.

          Gosh Ed...

          seems that would have been enough of a shock on its own...

          If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

                              I'll bet putting them on his bike didn't require the use of the 'KY' either....

                                  I hope it does not put too much of a DAMPER on your riding, and you can SPRING back quickly. I wish you a PROGRESSIVE RATE of recovery and can REBOUND soon!
                                  Sure it's gonna make some noise, there's GAS exploding in there!

                                              could you write me a note for my wife, that in fact my head isn't up there?

                                                  about getting one's rear end examined, my ex fell seriously unwell while on a lecture tour. Ended up on a gurney in the local emergency ward draped in a sheet with her stern exposed to the world as the skilled staff prepared to peer up it with an optical device. She claims she was not embarrassed by this, they were professional people, right? Then this familiar voice rings out from behind one of the masks:-
                                                  " Hello Mrs - - - , did we not meet yesterday at your seminar?"
                                                  " I find that I do not wish to meet you socially at this time." was all she could think of to say.
