Default The coolest thing just happened

For starters.

There's a couple of forum members who live up here that I have not met.

I've never seen another Hurricane on the road. Seen a couple on Craigslist. Seen some obscenely low mileage Mk2 show ponies at the dealer to get their carbs douched, but I have never seen one on the road.

Ever

Running down the Interstate tonight. I get this flash of blueish silver in my periphery. Sure enough, merging into traffic, just ahead of me is a Mk1 Hurricane. I couldn't believe my eyes. So I followed the dude.. Caught up and exchanged nods of approval. Rode another 12 miles past my exit to signal to pull over at the next.

Older dude, no kid. Beauty of a bike w/44k on the odometer. Couple of cracks here and there and a makeshift seat chop but overall not bad at all.

Told him to join up here

Well done Woof,

It's always good to see another one on the road. Don't see too many down here any more although they still seem to populate the online sales sites - and sell.

Cheers, SB

Dear Sirs,

I have noticed your advertisement depicting your mobile tele-camera device

Does it come with a mounting apparatus that I might attach to my choice of headwear?

Please quote shipping from OZ

Sincerely,

Wooferdog,

Thank you for your inquiry. Our quality products from China recognize that there are a wide range of headwear available in the US that we are not always able to accommodate.

We do however, offer a most excellent range of crochet instructions that will allow your good lady wife to manufacture a suitable mount of most joyous proportions and very excellent results.

We look forward to your order in USD, and will work most patiently to ensure that we obligate ourselves to meet your strict demands.

Can't see it catching on. For that to work, everyone would need a phone in each house.

And we all know that ain't ever gonna happen

Can you teach me how to tell someone to "Foxtrot Oscar" using my horn button?
