Hey, how did she get in here?
Cute eh?
She got in here because she is cute. Looks French? Or am I just missing Quebec?

I carry some of those releasable Zip ties. I like to use them on the front brake lever for setting an emergency brake. They work great on ferries in rough weather. I also carry a small battery charger, so when my rotor fails I have an excuse to ask attractive women if I can plug in for a while. It's worked before. 8-)

How long are your rides?

I adjusted the Oilhead's valves once on my big cross-country trip (9000) miles). I could have skipped it, but they were a little noisy. If you were on a trip of that length and experienced even mild valve recession, you'd do quite a few adjustments.

Yup, cute AND french AND IMO, stunning. She's also an ambulance driver.
It's too bad she will eventually turn psycho, like all her predecessors.
BTW - The only excuse to I need to ask an attractive woman if I can plug in for a while is cuteness (their cuteness, not mine) .

Did someone say something about emergencies.

Just wondering how many of you folks have your bike's original first aid kit.

Here is the original FAK from my R100RS 1978. Everything still sealed and nice and new like. Don't think I'll ever use it.
It fits into the little hollow bit inside the seat at front.

Happens all the time.... when she realizes you are not the guy she thought she could turn you into (which is your own fault, of course)

It has been my experience, after about 15 years of tending bar, that this logical flaw is shared by a large majority of both genders. The flaw is this: the individual assumes that all of the opposite sex are characterized by the qualities of those members with whom the subject has been involved - that is: "all men/women are like the ones I've slept with." Very rarely have I seen someone who draws the opposite (and far more likely) conclusion from this experience: "why do I keep choosing to get involved with the same kind of person?"

Well to corroborate a stunning rating we'd have to see the rest of her ya' know!

Is that the self self-fulfilling prophecy talking here? If you're saying she's presenting with phycotic behavior, then congratulations, you must be having a good time in the sack!

Well I'm just such a letch I'll use any method to act like it's not about sex.... It's all about sex. a 8-)
