    For sure Bill, we have a population of 60 million on an Island smaller
    than Texas here. There are still lots of great riders roads though,
    especially in the north of The UK, where the hilly country has many
    deserted twisty backroads to play on. We tend to ride shorter wheelbase,
    faster handling bikes for this reason, rather than the cruisers you guys
    use. Not that I'm knocking Harleys, I've ridden one seven thousand miles
    in 15 days round Europe and it did the job well, apart from cracking it's
    exhaust header due to me frequently smacking the lower muffler on the road
    when banking right... I can see why folks fit after market Super Trapps
    to'em.

    That's the problem with Texas. You _can_.

    Actually I'm in Houston quite regularly, but I've never got round to doing
    anything on two wheels out there. TBH, some of the driving I've seen on
    the beltway would scare the hell out of me on a bike. I guess you
    accommodate what you grew up with, but I didn't IYSWIM

    Kinda trying to figure out that your "crossposting" wasn't such a good
    idea, huh skippee?

    Have you even ever had a motorcycle? Even "sprots" bike groups have
    heard of TMRAII.

    Oh, and speaking of irritating "wankers much like yourself"...you seem
    to be.

    Who said anything about "violent"? He's just afraid that he might run into us.

    But Mark is a phoney little prick who is scared of his own self.

    OK-ish. Not a patch on In My Place & The Scientist though.

    Hmm, interesting selection. Of those I was (still am) definitely quite
    keen on Travis and Coldplay (as mentioned elsewhere) and was a big
    Carter fan (I worked with their part-time manager before they hit it
    big, so actually did know about them before anyone else). Saw them
    three or four times before they went crap.

    Dunno if this makes me some sort of lamer, or maybe it's just you
    that's got no taste?

    I didn't get to S America. But I did get most of N America. I did some minor
    write-ups but no web site as yet.

    Oh no.. pard.. LOL.. guess maybe I didn't make myself clear.. About 1 1/2
    hours away from where I live, the hill country has some ideal twisties and
    scenic highways.. I'm a little bit over the hill for making day runs of
    1,500 miles.. but still manage to do those kinds of runs over a weekend
    period..
    I know that feeling.. lol.. I ride a Vulcan cruiser and if I'm on a long
    distance trip, I have run for 10 - 14 hours for maybe 700 miles.. That's a
    long run for me, then I need to let the old body recover for a while..

    The self respect is one of the first things to go. I was quite glad to
    get rid of it if the truth were known.

    Although we do tend to actually ride on these occasions and not arrive
    in an SUV pulling a trailer with the bike on top.

    About three times more.

    The locals don't shoot you for pissing "their" creek.

    LOL... That's the "posers"... Yeah.. we got some of them, in Texas... I
    don't like to be considered in that company..
    About 600 miles furthur south, is some of the most fantastic riding country
    in the world.. Now.. that.. sir, is an adventure to tell the grandkids
    about..
    hmm.. I've been riding a lot of years.. I've pissed through fences, bushes
    and into lakes and creeks.. Never been shot, yet.. That's not to say that it
    won't happen.. LOL

    Hmmm.. you and Morgan oughtta really get yourselves a room.. LOL... Whew..
    I forgot.. you never noticed that she's a "she".. Damn.. that could get
    confusing.. Ah well.. the suggestion for the "room" thing still stands..
    Might be good for both of you to get your minds off those terrible Walker's
    that keep attacking your pitiful lil' ol' self.. huh ?

    That's why you are one of my living Hero's. How you have
    done away with self respect yet still maintained passing
    resemblance to dignity is just, just inspiring.

    I hope everyone has a safe Halloween out there!

    Getting ready for Halloween this weekend, I started getting a theme
    going. I decided on a wizard type thing. In the process, I painted my
    nails with a black base and moons on that. It turned out really cool
    looking!

    No, I'd hunt for one in a small town outside Bristol.

    Whoa! Little lady! Let's replay this thing here...

    I haven't "threatened" anyone. It would be stupid to threaten someone
    on this form of media. You invited myself and my father to Houston to
    meet you in a parking lot (K-Mart) so you could do to us in person
    what you meant to do to us on this newsgroup. I asked, as did my dad,
    for a phone number so we might be able to contact you when we get to
    Houston. You refused, and we aren't planning on chasing across the
    state to sit in an empty parking lot watching crickets.

    Now, if you'd care to give that phone number to me, I believe I might
    just be able to get down there and "show".
    You didn't hear the whole story, did'ja?

    Typical woman.
    Do you have a phone number for me to contact you with? No?

    Seems you're just spouting bullshit again...as usual.
