    That F6B does look pretty cool. I kinda like the old ones, too. With those opposed cylinders I'll bet they run real smooth. If it wasn't for their reputation for leaking oil, I'd be real interested.

    What do I call my bike?

    No matter how or what I call the bike, it does not come to me or even answer. Am I missing something???

    I don't blame the bike at all...a new knee was no problem.foot reattached with metal plates and screws slowed me down but a few other things happened so it took me awhile to be able to get on the seat.

    I'm gonna fix that for you pretty soon. I finished with my brother's bike and mine, and I got the front end of the jeep pretty much squared away. One more u-joint and some brakes, and I'm ready.

Except that one time, but we had a trailer so not technically.
    I saw the movie Serenity - which I think is what the series was based on. Good choice.

    Appearances can be deceiving, though. For some XS's Millennium Falcon might be a good name - the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

    Zoƫ Washburne: [about Serenity, on first seeing her] You paid money for this, sir? On purpose?

    I call my regular ride "Somethin' Special". I resisted riding her at first and she was simply called SWMBOXS. She's earned her new name.
    My bike in Maine I call Noreastah. I had named her before we picked her up but there was a pretty good storm the day we got her.... No snow, but still....
