Nice little story wolf, sounds like the same things happen all over the world, wannabe tuff guys with lots of `10% tougher pics` all over their arms acting like the world revolves around them.

Brilliant Woof!

"More like a Brand of Brothers."

Loved the story - I think you have a minimum of two books in you at the very least.

The sagacity just flowed like a modern day Confucius!

"You'll be me one day"

Keep it up. We may have to start a sage writings thread.

Cheers, SB

Thanks for the cudos.

Write books? No. I like the art of the short essay.

I'd forgotten, without a ride for so much time, that maybe the bike and the road is my muse. a lot of time to think and observe and riff on random themes. Then some statement starts a literary unraveling of those strands of observation.

Reminds me of the those columns in the front of the dirt bike magazines back in the 70's.

But...
Going along with the sidebar to this thread. Here's my beloved

A model that has been on my bucket list for many, many years Woof. I seem to remember you had a looksee at an old Fiat Spyder too a couple of years back. Mine's still sitting forlornly in the shed awaiting its gearbox to be finished and it and the motor refitted. I have the same wheels on the Spyder as the Alfa above. Sigh.

Must.focus.

Cheers, SB

I see that it sold for $210K USD. It said "Will ship to the USA". If it coast $0.48 to send a letter in the country, how much is shipping a car from Russia to a location in the states?
Well I guess its a good thing its a Superleggera.

Those are nice but wouldn't leave much for Mickey-D's. No way would I be able to super size. How about this one?
