Title: Ride about town
Post by: The Garbone on January 22, 2010, 10:55:41 pm
For the first time in a few weeks I got the chance to take a spin around town on the RE...   Went by the local airport and took some poor quality pictures...

Went by the local airport... They have a static display.

I realized when I got home I should have taken a picture of the reverse side also...

Here is a Haiti relief flight..  These guys roll through quite a bit at all hours...

The weather is perfect.. Mid 70s with a slight breeze and dry.... A great day for a ride..

I do miss the weather. Oh and racing around on New Smyrna Beach at low tide.

I noticed your bike is named Hadji... 

Reminds me of a situation I had at work, Two of us were on a call with a tech rep for Covad that was offshore in India.  The guy I was working with got a bit frustrated with the tech in India,  telling him "Listen Hadji,  skip a step on your script we know whats wrong."  They guy in India replied,  "Fuck you Johny Quest, I don't have to take your shit.."    Funny stuff, that....   We still laugh about it...

Garbone, I was 8 or 9 when that cartoon premiered. I thought it was the best. The animation was unique for the era, nothing like Toy Story but it sure kept me riveted. I've never been one to name inanimate objects but something about this Sixty-5.........."HADJI" just seemed to fit.
