    abaddon:

    your right. bikers are pretty cool. that picture above was taken by a friend of mine i worked with. it was taken last august or september, 2001, at the parking lot of, General Motors Service Parts Operations, Westwood, Massachusetts. there were as you can see hundreds if not thousands of bikers there. the cause? a money raising bennifit ride for children of police survivors, or c.o.p.s. it was to raise money for the children of fallen law enforcement personel. a worthy cause, imho.

    we rode from westwood ma, to plymouth ma, about 50 miles. no problems, no fights, and had the whole ride, hyways, and side roads to ourselves, every policeman and woman, was out in force and shut down major hyways and roads, we had them to ourselves. it was a remarkable ride.

    I just gots me a '74 Harley Sportster (1000cc kicker) with lotsa goodies and a 1980 Vespa P200. Hadn't ridden in years so I promptly laid the Harley down the 3rd time I rode it (throttle was sticking)...broke the primary chain case, skinned my leg, bruised my ego. Just got it repaired. I actually wanted an older bike because I've never ridden a left-shifter. In the old days all I had were Beezers, Trumpets and another Sport that were all right handers. I think I'm gonna sell the Sportster though. Harleys are becoming too yuppyfied. Harleys are like belly-buttons anymore...everyones got one. Plus you gotta be a Dr or lawyer to buy a new one. In the old days (1960's) all you needed was a Levi jacket or vest. Now you gotta have thousands of dollars worth of leathers and lets not forget the obligiatory head rag. The Vespa is so much damn fun around town I can't believe it. And when me and the lady friend ride thru the park we don't get the dirty looks from the nature lovers. What is interesting is all the thumbs up I get from people 25 and under when I'm on the Vespa...older folks could care less or they smirk. So after I get the Vespa tuned up I plan on putting on my best looking Hawaian shirt, shorts or tennies....ride by the Harley dealership while their having one of their million-dollar weekend get-togethers, scream real loud and then flip 'em off! I figure I can escape down an alley before those fat old geezers find the keys for their electric starts! Oh yeah I'm a geezer too (50). I was gonna look for an old MotoGuzi, then start a club and call it the Moto-Geezers...just a thought. If anyone knows of any old British bikes or anything weird looking for sale, please let me know.

    RUMOR has it that Bill Bowen is a Biker!!!!!!!

    But what do I know!!!!

    I guess you'd have to ask him personally to find out if it's true or not. Laughing...harly, harly, harley, ha, ha!!!
    Hoping that misspelling harly is not a bikers ultimate sin.

    Depends on how you define "biker", I guess. I used to ride an XS 750 and a Virago 750. No bike at present; next one will be a Harley.

    Harley riders will tell you riders of rice-burners aren't bikers. Whatever...

    I've already done the drugs/heavy drinking thing. The drugs were fun (I didn't mess with addictive substances much, just a whole lot of psychedelics). The drinking paved the way for me to make a devastated ruin of my life. I've rebuilt now, and I like the peace and order I get from sobriety. When folks offer me a beer or a toke, I tell 'em, "Thanks, I appreciate it, but I've already finished my allotment for this lifetime."

    Harley days are coming soon, though. Either that or a Miata. Haven't decided yet.

    My brother finished his "Work of Art" a few years back. A Harley with the engine so bored out it could hardly be ridden. LOL It was featured in Easy Rider as the "NinjaEater"
    Some of his local friends have a few "Rice Burners" he is "Always teasing them, "When is that gonna grow up to be a Bike?"
    Some People I think try to project them selves maybe a little too much into thier machine's.
