    Ditto. BTW, what is your suggestion for the acronym FD?

    As I caught sight of myself on the bike in a garden mirror, I thought Fuddy Duddy

      Until you said that Fuddy Duddy was exactly what I was going to say. So I'll go with Fat Daddy.

        Perhaps in this case, "Fast driver" would be okay? An old dude once told me, "It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than to have to ride a fast bike slowly." It took me a while to figure it out.

          I like that! A horse on the gallop seems incredibly fast but I bet following one on an XS1100 would seem very slow.....

            Try riding an XS11 behind a farckled out Harley through some of th ebest twisties of the day. Some fellow members could tell you it was not my most humble or cordial moment when I got a long straight stretch to pass on.
            Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

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