Well, the Mob is selling protection here.  Allegedly, if you don't pay, they shoot the hull of your boat.  Poor farmers are turning horse troughs into canoes.  Pretty soon, I'm going on the "French Diet" by raising mushrooms and frogs in my basement.   

Will your bike float if you put extra air in the tires?

OK, I am stubborn but not stupid. We need to pull the plug on this one.

We will get together when things dry out! ;D

I did turn into one of the better threads going.....would have been nice to cap it off with the actual ride.

But I will get us together sometime...even if it is next years British in the Blue Ridge Rally!  ;)

You're correct, Br. Laurence... great fun... a lot of seat time... and, best of all, no monkey butt  effect...  :D
Long live the Bullets and those who ride them!

Speaking of monkey butts, Uncle Ernie has been awful quiet lately.

Very nice, Br. Ernie!!!

But just a word of warning: Nine minutes of seat time on The Throne could lead both internal and external hemorrhoids, brother!!!

Well, Big D fretted so much about not having clean socks, he called to sday he went back to Atlanta.  Crest-fallen, I was forced to go for a bit of a ride by myself.  Each time I stopped to wipe the tears from my eyes, I figured I may as well take a picture.   







It gets awful lonesome up here in the mountains sometimes...

I knew you were going to say that.
I was trying to make Don feel bad.  Those pictures are what it looked like here for most of the afternoon here.  He said it was raining cats and cows in Atlanta.

They didn't really need me to work after all, so I just left. 
I notice I didn't pass you on any roads... Was in raining in Oldpeoplesville?

Well, if you want to make Don feel bad, let me in on the plot so I can verify it. ;D

Rained like crazy again today. They are predicting 50%+ rain for the next 6 days at least. The mushrooms on the lawn are drowning.
