Baby's got Back

On my way over to Arlington this morning, I was southbound on 360.. Just
getting on at IH30.. Whew.. one of the sharpest little Harley's I've seen
went by me like a shot..

I wasn't sitting still .. runing about 80 (yeah.. the speedo works fine,
now) .. I am telling you that thing was MOVIN' on..I'm thinking to myself
"Now self.. that just ain't right".. So I hooked up that green Vulcan and
just sorta' nailed 'er.. By the time I caught that little Harley, I glanced
down, that Vulcan was hitting about 120.

Well.. I backed 'er off a bit and we just kinda glided along there at about
100 for a bit, changed over onto I20 West and just kept rollin'.. I followed
that little bike off at Matlock road and into a station, there.. Much to my
surprise, when the helmet came off with the sunglasses, a mountain of the
darkest red hair, I've ever seen rolled out.. Damn.. she was a "she",
alright.. Every inch of her..

I was sitting on the green one, across the driveway from her..When she
looked over and saw the look on my face, she burst out laughing.. really
LAUGHING....Well.. she was runnin' a damn sharp little Harley, so I just set
the grenn one on it's stand and ambled across that driveway in my best ol'
John Wayne stroll.. By this time, that gorgeous thing was almost rolling on
the concrete.. "S'cuse me ma'am, that's sure a nice ride, you've got
there".. She was laughing so hard, tears were rolling down her face..

As intimidated as I was, I finally got my wits about me, and asked.. "what
the hell is so funny"?.. She told me that she'd noticed me in her mirror
while we ran out 360 and switched to I-20.. When she pulled off, she was a
little curious and needed gas, anyway.. I was completely puzzled by this
time.. (John Wayne impersonation, again).."Well alright, then little lady,
but.. what's so damn funny".. Sheesh.. I was getting a complex..

She was wiping those tears out of her eyes and said.. "Sir.. that look on
your face, when I took my helmet and glasses off, was priceless" "I could
almost read your mind and it didn't have a damn thing to do with my ride"..

Well.. I'd been caught completely off guard.. I must admit, the way she was
handling that Harley, I didn't expect to see a woman, when she uncovered,
especially a gorgeous beauty like this one.. And .. here I was standing real
close to her..

I dropped the artificial John Wayne impersonation and started mumbling
something about "Sorry, and I should've".. That little gorgeous creature
pulled her glove off, reached out and softly stroked my cheek.."Aaahhh..
don't apologize, I love it when a man reacts that way.. Let me buy you a cup
of coffee".. Guys.. I was convinced, I'd died and gone to my final reward..

We took our time, drank a cup of coffee, together and chatted for almost an
hour.. This creature was one of the most gracious women that I've had the
pleasure to meet in a long time.. She was gorgeous and there was absolutely
nothing pretentious about her.. She wasn't competing with anyone and MAN,
that chick could handle her motorcycle.. She rode that puppy like she'd just
stole it.. She was part of the bike..

We exchanged contact numbers and hopefully, we will ride together again..
She was definitely one fine lady.. After knowing her a bit, she's a Biker..
also.. hmm.. Her interest in TMRA II causes me to believe, she may become a
member and Warrior.. She damn sure earned my respect, on this Friday
morning..

Must.....resist....urge.....damn! I have no willpower when it comes to
redheads.
Lets get a ride together.

 

Sheesh.. Damn Waco.. I don't think I'll invite you to any more of my
rides... Damned ol' Republican, anyway <mumble.. mumble... grouch> Yeah..
we need to do that, before the weather turns around on us.. Hell.. come see
me, pard..

Your friend in Irving
Bill Walker

 

Oh...nooo. I don't know how you thought I was a Republican. I'm an
independent.

 

Naaaahhhh...No self respecting independent rides an old Gucci Harley like
yours.. 'cept maybe that lil' redhead this morning.. Man.. if my mexican had
seen me quiverin' all over the place, she'd have took a "fit".. LOL..Hell ..
I don't care what political persuasion you are.. you are one of the "good
guys"..

I wasn't so worried while she and I were cozying up with that coffee.. That
isn't where the danger is.. I started thinking about going home and facing
the mexican.. She's got a sixth sense or ESP or something.. That's where you
and Jailcall would have to devise an escape plan.. Whew.. that little thing
can just really get irrational about this stuff... No sense of humor at
all..

Your friend in Irving
Bill Walker

 

LMAO.. obviously you are a close and personal friend of mine.. You've even
got a "real" name and everything.. I've been riding this Green Vulcan for
almost eight years now.. It's got well over 50,000 miles on it .. Runs fine
and looks pretty nice, if I do say so..

Most of the guys who have ridden with me, seem to agree..

I live in a "mobile home" that is bought and paid for.. Been in the same
spot for the best part of twenty years.. I'm sure there are quite a few of
us on this group who enjoy living in mobile homes for whatever reason..
BTW.. how much is your mortgage payment and homeowners insurance.. Don't
worry .. TMRA II is trying to get some relief for you guys.. LOL.. I'm sure
that you are a dedicated supporter ..

Thanks for your thoughtful input.. I'm sure it is well received and
appreciated.. Your sig is kinda interesting, too..

Damn.. I knew I was forgetting something.. Sorry to re-post, but I'm sure
you understand.. You never commented on your own "ride".. just my "old
Kawasaki".. Since you have obviously are using an alias of recent change..
just thought you'd like to share with everyone, what you ride ?

I'd also like to take this opportunity to invite you to Axtell, Tx.. Those
guys usually put on a pretty good motorcycle rodeo and would appreciate your
support and participation.. Maybe we might just bump into each other, since
I'm trying to make it, also..

In the remote possibility that perhaps .. your comments on this thread is a
one shot deal.. the interesting "sig" that you are using is impressive..
Maybe you could also share with us, how you managed to select that
particular alias and if it has any relevance to you, personally..You might
even like to share with us, why it is important for you to post under any
alias, rather than you own name.. Many thanks, sport. I look forward to your
participation on this newsgroup..

Whew.. with friends like you IceMan.. who can afford enemies.. LOL.. I'm
hiding my monitor from the mexican right now.. If she reads this.. my rally
days are finished..

On a serious note.. I'm afraid that the ones reading the post I made
originally, only read into it, what they wanted it to say.. They should read
it again.. this time.. what it says..

They obviously making one shot comments about the post.. First .. let me
begin.. I wasn't following a "woman" on a motorcycle.. I didn't even realize
it was a woman until she uncovered.. helmet and glasses.. Then.. .she was a
very attractive lady.. contrary to some of the comments.. lots of very
attractive women DO ride motorcycles... She was not only a very attractive
lady and gracious as well, which I think I mentioned..

Better yet.. the lady had no idea that I would follow her off the freeway
and into the gas station..She was amused by my reaction when I realized that
she was a beautiful woman.. Her composure and reactions were nothing more
than the reflections of her personality.. There was never any implication or
intent to imply that the encounter was anything more than a pleasant and
entertaining, for both of us meeting of two nice people..

The exchange of contact information was a friendly gesture for two nice
people to meet again, in a mutual setting of interest for both of us.. TMRA
II.. bikers rights and all that..

Some of the comments from mostly anonymous one shot posters are the best
reflection of their own mentality and trashy opinions ..

Thanks for the post IceMan.. we sure had a great time that day.. I'm glad
you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.. It is a MUST that we do it again,
soon as possible..

This is from an independent and anonymous "friend" who would only dispense
sound and reliable advice..

IceMan.. you should take the examples of your lovely and gracious bride to
heart... follow them.. You should also pay careful attention to and attempt
to emulate the growth and development of your very good friend .. the one
and only Bill Walker.. They both have your very best interests and
happiness, at heart.. It is urgent that you should immediately either shoot
the damn thing or trade that Ford pickup in, for a nice little GMC or
Chevrolet..(don't mistakenly acquire a Chrysler product.) Then, of course ..
in order to make the final restoration of your salvation, you should
immediately contact your voter registrar representative. and change it to
relect that you are a Democrat and are entitled to all rights and privileges
afforded a good Democrat..
<end of anonymous message to IceMan>

It should be observed that I assume no responsibility for this anonymous
message that mysteriously appeared on my computer, although I heartily agree
with it's conclusions.. It seems that my computer has become infested with a
virus of some kind that creates such unusual communications..

With all due respect.. I would humbly offer that those two ladies were
actually admiring the two bikes which were accompanying me and the only
reason they were even talking to the "old man" was just to maintain contact
with the two fellows riding the other motorcycles.. That being said, I was
extremely flattered by their attentions..

should have no problems taming the woman at home.

That is an offer which I hope will not necessary to accept.. After the oil
and patio incident, you should consider, this little mexican is hardly
susceptible to charm and humor.. She gets real hard nosed and narrow minded
about some things..

One thins is for sure.. we sure had a lot of fun on that ride.. That's what
a good ride is all about.. Nice bikes.. good company and friends.. lots of
laughs and mostly I believe sharing with everyone we come in contact with..

Those ladies, as well as other people we were around, could easily sense the
easy and casual enjoyment we had between us.. That makes friendship so
important and everybody who sees it, is positvely affected.. Yep.. that was
a good ride..

You got it .. brother.. Sheesh.. I got a headache on that one.. Glad it
brightened you day..

Bill W. Your story about the gal on the Harley was good. The two most
humorous parts was.....You riding 120, and you doing it on an 800
anything... and the best part is a damn goodlooking red headed Gal
Harley Biker......flerting with a a grandpa, and then taking out time to
drank coffee with him......just kidding....
I think it was something youll remember for a long time....I am
jealous....winking at cha.......bjay......(it was a gooden)

bjay here: another observation. I am new...at all this...I have
admitted it.
<>but I thought most in here were using
"alias's"....is an alias, the same as using a
"handle"? like iceman, fullstate, jailcall?
There was a time...I signed with the handle, Major Label.........BW and
I are some of the few who use our real names...eh?
BW, I noticed you did sign with your friendly sig..."your friend in
Arlington"
that's a good clue...I think •bjay•
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Nah.. I never said that she was flirting with me bjay.. And if I'd known it
was a chick riding that Harley that way, I'd have run that 800 faster than
that.. Clearly. you guys haven't ridden one of these 800 Kawasaki's with
jetted carb and straight pipes..

Besides.. that speedo of mine has been acting up, until I got it repaired
the other day.. I don't know exactly how fast this motorcycle will run, I
said when I looked down, that was what the speedo was showing.. Most bikes'
speedo's will indicate speeds a little faster than you are actually
running..

This one of mine has caused a lot of people who ride with me for the first
time to take a hard look at it, when we make our first gas stop.. It's purty
old .. like me... but it runs good enough to cause someone to tear up a
motorcycle to out do it..

bjay.. I don't race with anyone.. my bike isn't built for that.. I've made a
whole heap of long distance rides on that ol' thing, sitting on 70 to 100
mph, all day long.. The ones who've ridden with me will sure confirm that..
LOL

LOL.. I've been on this group for a lot of years, bjay.. I always sign my
name.. If I got guts enough to post it.. I got enough guts to put my name on
it.. Others on here use an alias for one legitimate reason or another..
There are many good legitimate reasons.. Then .. there are the anonymous
posters that use aliases to attack someone .. No matter what they claim,
their reason for using aliases and changing them often is because they don't
want anyone to know who they are for cowardly reasons.. Kinda like
bushwhackers.. I know most of the anonymous posters on here, and the ones
with legitimate reasons are not hiding behind an alias to bushwhack
anyone..Good men and most are friends of mine.. we've ridden together and
know each other personally.. Yep.. I post with that same sig.. almost every
time.. That's the hand of friendship that I offer.. And Irving.. not
Arlington is the city I live in.. pretty good clue, alright.. I'd think..
