These Boys are Dedicated

Wasn't quite daylight yet and the IM deal lit up on my monitor..
RedShad buzzed me and I clicked on the little dealie.. First
rattle out of his box .. was to the effect that Big Ed was on his
way over.. they were meeting on the highway to go get with
Louie in Ft.Worth.. I opened my living room door and it was
still raining cats and dogs.. been pouring down rain off and on
all night.. The TV channel where Rebecca usually gives me
the weather reports came on about this time and some little
guy I never seen before was forecasting scattered rain for
the next couple of days around here.. Needless to say.. Becky..
as I affectionately refer to her.. (she and I have had this media
type relationship, for years) forfeited my confidance several
months ago, because of her incompetence in telling me what
this Texas weather is going to do.. So.. I switched to another
network channel on this Gucci and reliable 30 inch TV of mine
that I'd purchased "on sale" at the local Irving Sears store..

Some little guy, who I'd never seen before was on that channel
telling me just about the same as I was hearing on the other
channel..

Since it was pouring down outside my door and porch.. I natur-
ally assumed these folks knew WTF they were talking about
for a change .. Hell.. it turned out that all that rain was just falling
at my house and Shady Grove road was dry as a bone.. Any-
way.. I shared my most reliable information with RedShad and
told my good friend that I'd just not take the chance of getting
my Green Vulcan all wet and nasty by being caught in a rain
storm.. My good friend and companion was most understanding
and assured me that he wouldn't hold it against me..

Next thing I know.. that dealie thing was flashing again and lo
and behold.. there is Big Ed on there.. He's telling me that he's
about to come over to my house, pick me up and we'll ride over
to meet with RedShad and Louie to spend the day galivanting
around on our motorcycles.. I then, shared my weather information
with my good friend Big Ed.. You know.. the stuff I'd learned on
my Gucci .. Sears bought TV.. Hell.. if that sucker ain't any more
reliable than all this.. I don't think I am going to make any more of
those payments on that thing.. In addition to the important news
about the rain forecast .. I also informed Big Ed.. that I'd just got
most of those Arizona bugs off the Green One and didn't want
to get it all nasty on a frivolous ride..

You gotta keep in mind.. these three friends and companions of
mine, have recently bought new and the most advanced technol-
ogical equipped motorcycles that have even been produced and
sold to the motorcyle riding public.. hmmm.. One might assume
that these marvels of motorcycle technology, are also equipped
with some kind of secret weather protection device that none of
the rest of us know anything about..

Well.. ol'Big Ed signed off on the IM dealie thing and hit the road..
I guess.. That dealie started flashing again.. it was my good friend
and companion, RedShad.. He informed me that our good buddy
Big Ed was bad mouthin' me and even calling me names like
"usenet pussy" and so forth and so on.. I'd like to go on record as
saying that I am not a "usenet pussy".. I might furthur mention that
as far as I know.. Big Ed, as a rule, don't ride much furthur than the
Keller's beer joint on Northwest hwy.. That's only about three miles
from his house.. I'm not sure that RedShad gave me the whole
skinny about what Big Ed is saying about me.. Big Ed hasn't said
it directly to me.. Everyone on this newsgroup knows full well that
RedShad, Louie and Big Ed too, for that matter .. have been com-
plicit in trying to stir up trouble in mine and Bjays' family..

It should be noted.. that anyone who'd try to stir up trouble amongst
first cousins, twice removed.. cannot be trusted.. That's about as
low as people can get.. in my book.. Bjay.. sit up and take notice..
these guys are up to no good and there's no telling where all this
will lead.. Your wife and I being first cousins.. twice removed should
be enough bond between us.. that you will not allow this to breach
our close family ties.. I'll go on record.. if need be.. to assure one
and all, that Bill Walker (that's me) is NOT a usenet pussy..

Get ready tx.motorcycles newsgroup.. there's no doubt that we have
not heard the last of all this .. It is sure to cause a lot of problems in
our little close knit group of dedicated motorcycle riders..

Regards

Bill Walker

 

Something about "skinny" and "Big Ed" being used in the same
sentence.....that's just an oxymoron from hell!

But I hear that Big Ed has been hanging around getting his motorcycle
worked on at Mike the Junk Dealer's shop. After the mess Mike let my
motorcycle get into, I'd be surprised Ed would run over there. Then
there's Redshad, after me scamming him out of that license plate on
that trailer, I wouldn't have figured he'd have been able to get his
motorcycle trailered anywhere. Sure enough, I hear ole Redshad bummed
him a trailer from his good buddy and hauled that Goldwing right over
to Mike's Junk Shop to have brand spankin' new tires put on.

All this, and that sorry asshole Mike can't seem to figure out how to
repair that motorcycle of mine that he tore up? Dumb bastard was out
there banging around on a busted side panel wondering why it wouldn't
stick to the motorcycle....and he sure doesn't know anything about
using a battery charger! Soap and water is also beyond his
expertise....but he'll sure tell someone what an upstanding shop he
runs!

 

Geez Brian - you've been OTR about MtJD for over a week now. Even a
woman's period doesn't last THAT long. I think my wife has some Midol
left over that I can send over to you. Will that help? ;-)

BillW - if you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride. I just read that
in a book so it MUST be true. Or maybe it was on a a bathroom wall, I
can't remember. 8-}

 

If it is true that Big Ed is running around telling people that I'm a usenet
pussy.. I want it to be known, that I resent it and am deeply offended by
that kind of behavior, from him.. I can't believe he'd do such a thing, but
one never knows ..

I'd surely suspect that these three unscrupulous friends and companions
of mine, have hatched a devious plan to furthur stir up trouble between me
and Bjay.. There is no doubt that tx.motorcycles newsgroup will be sub-
jected to yet another vicious flame war ..

Should this be the case.. Louie, RedShad and Big Ed should understand
my deep resentment and just how offended I am. about such behavior from
them..

To me.. stirring up family trouble between me and Bjay.. (his wife and me
are first cousins, twice removed) ranks right up there with the shady motor-
cycle dealers who take advantage of their customers.. As much as I would
regret having to do so.. I will defend my sterling reputation on this
newsgroup
and will immediately ask for volunteers to form a committee to investigate
this matter.. If .. in fact, it is true that my good friend and companion,
Big Ed
is running around saying that I am a usenet pussy.. there will certainly be
serious consequences.. If.. it turns out as I suspect.. that, Louie and
RedShad
are only trying to stir up family trouble between Bjay and me.. (Bjays wife
and I
are first cousins, twice removed.. you know) there will also be serious
conseq-
uences..

Sadly.. it has come down to this level of slander and depravity.. One can
only
imagine how this entire episode is a burden to me.. I'll not go down without
a fight and I repeat.. I AM NOT A USENET PUSSY..

Bill Walker (with a heavy heart)

 

LMAO.. whoops, take it easy, Bill C.. You gotta consider that these boys
are breaking in new motorcycles and trying to get all that "new" off of
them..
Me and this old Green Vulcan have made innumerable rides in some awe-
some rainstorms.. as well as snow, sleet and hail.. We've been caught out
there with no place to hide.. so to speak.. <chuckle> The "new" has been
worn off this old Green One for over ten years .. hehehe.. Like me, it's
been rode hard and put up wet, too many times..

Anybody can get caught out there and rained on.. but, only a damned fool
will jump out there and go, when it's pouring down rain with the possibity
of
those conditions for the next two days.. lol.. That's why I keep an old
black
GMC in my driveway.. hmmm.. Those guys didn't even offer to ride in my
truck with me..

Just wait'll my old friend, Jerry gets his Valkyrie put back together ..
We'll
teach this bunch a lesson.. After this is all over with, of course..

Regards

Bill Walker

 

Okay, okay. I found my "lost" bag of emoticons, and I can think of no
better place to use them, so here goes:

If you are not a usenet pussy, what kind of pussy are you???? ;-)

(That is a WINKING SMILEY FACE emoticon up there, people.)

(That means that this is a JOKE, so if you have no sense of humor, do
not respond!)

;-)

(Okay, that's ANOTHER WINKING SMILEY FACE emoticon up there, people,
just for those who may have missed it the first time.)

(You have to admit that you left yourself open to that, Bill.)













(I know I'm going to regret posting this, for one reason or a dozen
others......)

 

Awwwww.. **** all that..Some people just try to ruin everything..

 

But when my motorcycle gets broke by some ragged junk dealer like Mike
Thompson, and you know me about broke motorcycles, I won't quit until
it's fixed.

I ordered the side panel to fix this broke one. It should be in by
early next week. The battery looks like it'll have to be replaced from
Mike's neglect and not keeping it charged. I supposed that idiot
bastard will claim it's healthy for a battery to sit dead instead of
being charged and maintained. In all fairness, and I really shouldn't
be after the personal shit Mike Thompson has slung around, I won't be
including the price of the battery in the amount I'll be suing him and
his ragged shop for. Batteries do go out and this wasn't a new
one....just one that Mike's ragged flea bitten shop neglected to
maintain.

It's just simply amazing how someone can take a good condition running
motorcycle into a shop to be sold on consignment, pay the shop to
maintain the motorcycle, and then get it back a few months later in
the condition mine was in....and have the owner of that ragged shop
screaming about how I'm making a living "scamming others".

And yes Bill, your wife's midol just *might* help!

 

BILL Cantell tells Bill W.
''BillW - if you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride. I just read
that in a book so it MUST be true. Or maybe it was on a a bathroom wall,
I can't remember. 8-}



FWIW
I think BillW is smarter than you give him credit for, and he is showing
his intelligence, or common sense, by not Deliberatly mounting up on his
motorsikel, and ride off in a damn rain storm.

Getting caught in a rain storm is one thang, but......................!

Yeah, seems we've read where you awready said the above verse.

That would be my writing on the wall. Sorry for the handwriting...but it's still
true if you will not or refuse to ride in the rain well you don't ride. You hit
the road for a reason, the reason is the road everything else is a bonus. Lose
sight of the road and you risk becoming a statistic, so quit looking at the
titties, quit looking at the mountains if that deer is not near the road it's
not there. Those are just things, the road is the world.

 

SNIP

You mean when you thought the person you were teasing. It turns out that
whomever you were teasing really is a big throbbing bloody pussy? Surely not!
;^)

 

I know. Some people are posting while under the influence.

There ought to be a fucking law!

 

What is the problem? You plan on leaving at "X" time then by Harry you leave
then. Screw the damned weather! Suit up and go or are you made of sugar and thus
fear you'll melt sweetie? Damn I'm solid rock salt and twice as mean as a
rattlesnake with a couple of slipped disks. Rain never stops my leaving to go
somewhere if I said I planned on being there at a given time. Only time I'm late
is because a side road looks interesting and I've never met a side road I didn't
like. Especially as I've map recc'd almost all side routes on my main route(s).
8^) Sometimes I've ended up using fuel stops to replan the entire route...just
because I can.

 

What are you bitchin' about? If it weren't for my motorcycle getting
busted/broke/abused by Mike the Junk Dealer, your ratings would still
be sucking....

Has your SOL been by there to put that Harley in his shop and get that
"fine work and care" done to it?

Come to think of it, even Mike the Junk Dealer coming on here with his
bullshit about me "making a living scamming others" helped with a few
postings....even though the sorry asshole hasn't provided any
information to uphold his comments. I even tried to help the sorry
asshole out by asking over and over again, but not even Sgt Bedwetter
or Vicky could offer any insight to who/what I've made a living
scamming of others....

 

Don't worry.. I've NOTICED you.. I've NOTICED you.. LMAO

Sarge,my problem is riding in the dern rain.

Done it a few times, but not many since 1973. Lucky I guess.

Know how, but avoid it when possible.

Will not ''leave'' my Carport in a rain, with0ut atleast giving it some
substantial time to blow over. Why not? I never have tried to prove how
tuff I be. (hehe)

However, its another story, When-caught out on the highway. I've put on
my stuff afew times, standing under the biggest Oak, I could find.

Sarge, The tank Pack is so unique for carrying ones Rain Gear. We pull
over, grab it off the bike, and head for some kinda shelter, to put it
on. So much better, than geting the gear out of anything else on the
Bike; bags, back pack, where ever. The Tank Pack is ideal.

"emoticonlly speaking".. I'm sure there are quite a few "fucking laws"
on the books, even though I don't recall any of them specifically..
Mostly what comes to mind, again.. not specifically.. is that those
laws are forbidding certain fucking.. <shrug> Damn.. you guys done
fucked around and got me talking nasty..

I better talk to my good friend Jerry about all this fucking nonsense..

 

Ya know, having made that post I got to show whether I would ride in
sinilar weather. Worked from home yesterday to spend time with the
outlaws before they headed back north so I didn't ride at all.

Wheeled BikeII out this morning, looked up at the clouds and thought -
might rain - ahhhh screw it, hopped on and took off.

My keen grasp of the obvious kicked in when I saw drops appearing on my
windshield. Pulled in to get gas, put on the rain jacket (that I've
FINALLY learned to keep in the saddlebag) and took off again. By having
the rain gear with me and putting it on I KNEW that I would out of the
rain in a few minutes. Seems like it was only raining in Flower Mound and
on me. Got to NRH without another drop hitting me or BikeII.

Actually BillW my goal is to join the crotchety old biker fraternity that
you, BJay, Redshad and other notable Tx.Moto posters are in and be able to
say "Been there, done that, lived to tell about it" (or "lived to
embellish the living crap out of it") - whichever.
