Hey Earle,

You ARE right about some things tho. I purchased my Rubicon with A/C
simply because I thought it would increase trade-in. Not because I LIVE
IN TEXAS or anything. I only got the lockers because of the speed bumps
in the mall parking lot. Damn, those things are gettig bigger every
year. I'm glad they're starting to paint them yellow so I can hit my
locker button and get both axles locked in before I actually start the
long climb over the speed bump.

Can you and McFly take this to a chat room?

The motorcycles don't really bother me a whole lot because most of them are
too sissified to take their machines on unpaved roads, like everything in
Silverton except Greene street. I have on occasion walked over there to
look at the machines and talk to the owners. Some of them will actually
talk to non-Harley owners about non-Harley topics, but most of them are too
stuck up. ("Hey guys, I understand, I used to be a computer programmer
too!")

It's a change from the Rubicon owners, but not much of one, eh?

As far as "Socialist-PC crowd" goes, you have these people all wrong. All
they want is ripe fat tourists, fit for milking, and being from Durango you
are just as good a plum as a fat insurance salesman motorcycle driver. The
socialist act is just part of the show...

He's PLONKED but you're not. I figure deep down somewhere there might be
a human side, but I've been wrong before. I only see your responses to
McFly, but I thought you sounded like you two might be getting a little
cozy for the NG. It was merely a suggestion. Do what you will.

....off to the frat house, then the mall for some cherries jubilee.
(They're having a Rubicon convention there tonight. With balloons!)

He's PLONKED but you're not. I figure deep down somewhere there might be
a human side, but I've been wrong before. I only see your responses to
McFly, but I thought you sounded like you two might be getting a little

....off to the frat house, then the mall for some cherries jubilee.

Isn't it amazing how some people can't deal with the slightest bit of
adversity?

But, hey, since I'm plonked I can call the guy an @$$#0!e and he won't
notice, huh??!!!

WONDERFUL!
