    You can't make this stuff up

    Hi list,
    I just had to share this.
    An article headline in today's Saskatoon Star-Phoenix driving section:-

          Too funny. Last year on one of our SWOXS group rides, we had a couple HD riders come along. Talk about making an XS feel like a sport bike - just go for a ride with a couple alphabet-soup harleys.

          Ray - I spent a couple years just south of Tacoma. Point Defiance Park was always our favorite hangout in Tacoma. Nice place. You gonna run down to Olympia and check on Prometheus while you're there?
          I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

              Worse yet a farkled out Harley and get behind instead of in front of them in the twisties. That is alot like bringing a race car to drive in a parade. Add alimited amount of patience on an XS11 and you get some AH that blows by the entire group just in time for a couple stop signs and jumping on the super slab.
              Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

              When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
