Is that a car tire?

[Willow]

"Is that a car tire?"

"No."

"It sure looks like a car tire."

"It surely does.  I guess we could accurately acknowledge this tire was neither designed nor marketed with a motorcycle in mind, but, as you can clearly see, it is obviously now the rear tire of a motorcycle.  Thus, it's a motorcycle tire."

"Oh."

On the other hand, sometimes it's easier to just go along.

"Is that a Harley?"

"Yes ma'am, one 'o them big six cylinder ones" <G>

"Well, it's very pretty"

Thank you ma'am, I like it too."

I got asked that by another patron when I was picking up my wheel and mounted tire at the counter of a local bike shop last year. I said "used to be".

[KSDragonRider]

I get alot of questions about why i have it on there, "so i dont have to put my feet down at stoplights."

Most of them say oh and walk away.  A true motorcyclist will usually not ask what it is, but ask how it feels.

[Jack]

After, twelve yrs using "car" tires, I still have people telling me how dangerous it is. 

[Michvalk]

I had a guy from work, rider of "another brand" come over and look at my bike in the parking lot. He slowly walked around my bike looking at the motor and chrome. Got to the back of the bike, and glanced down at the back tire, hesitated, said "HOLY S#IT. As he walked away, he threw over his sholder, "Nice bike". Never made any other comments, waited until I left, before he rode out. Offered to go on a cruize with him some weekend and he said yeah, maybe sometime. Tire ALWAYS draws attention!

I was at a Suzuki/Kawasaki dlr here in Missouri with approx $100.00 worth of some stuff i found that i wanted. The service mgr walks up to me and asks is that my Valkyrie to which i answered yes. And then he proceeds to tell me the car tire can't and won't work. And i politely inform him i have over 10000 miles of won't work already on said tire. Laid the stuff i had in my hands on the counter and left and haven't been back. RIDE SAFE.

So Willow, does that mean you've come over to the Dark Side? I seem to recall you were a respectful holdout last time this discussion came up, or was I mistaken?

Serk, you have a good memory.

I had the same thought (memory), but did not ask.

Carl:   Your honor, that answer is not responsive to the question.

I got this one at a stoplight the other day:  "Hey, how do you like that big wide tire on the back?"
I don't think he got a close enough look to really figure out what it was, but he knew it was different.

"Not anymore."

"Is that a car tire on the back of your motorcycle?"

"Car tire on the back of my motorcycle?..nope...it's not a motorcycle...it's the new skinny car."

[HayHauler]

NO, it's on a motorcycle, so it's a motorcycle tire.  Ya big dummy.

That Willow he really knows how to stir the pot.

I think he is a light weight on stirring the pot.

I am the best.

Objection sustained, counselor.  Witness, you've been admonished.

[Serk]

Is that a car tire, or is your motorcycle just happy to see me?   

[SANDMAN5]

When I get...."Is that a *%^##@(&*%$ car tire?"
I always answer...."No, it's a Goodyear car tire."

Nice try, but my judge almost always replied... "Sustained,  the witness is directed to answer the question."

However, before asking the judge to declare the witness hostile (and short), in the interests of avoiding further shenanigans in this matter.........."I withdraw the question."  (until later)

In summation, in the complete absence of any meaningful evidence to the contrary, it is counsel's firm conviction that the only way a Contrarian Automotive Round Part would be installed on the witness's machine, would be over (actually, under) his deceased corps.  <G>


Not that there's anything wrong with that.

e.  It looked like you needed to buy a vowel.

I can assure the court on my honor that what is on the rear of my Valkyrie is indeed a motorcycle tire.

The accuracy of your interpretation of my assertion, of course, may depend somewhat on what the definition of is is. 

[Disco]

what the definition of is is

I never pictured Willow being one to flirt with impeachment.   

[Serk]

If it please the court, may I suggest a 2 week recess of this case, at which time agents of the court will have opportunity to examine and judge for themselves the car tireiness of defendant's motorcycle in person at a previously scheduled engagement heretofore referred to as the "Gathering of the Fools"?

[macdoesit]

What ever you put it on it becomes that objects tire, I think. 

[hotglue #43]

The court will resume March 31st.  Here come da judge...here come da judge..

May the court be advised the target of the proposed examination is in possession of not one, but multiple Valkyrie motorcycles, said motorcycles bearing tires of varying origins.  Not all of said motorcycles will be presented to the examiners at the aforementioned "Gathering O' the Fools".

Incidentally, is "dead corpse" redundant?

Is the defendant admitting to obstruction of justice: hiding evidence? Surely not!

Incidentally, is "dead corpse" redundant? [/i]

Only if you're not a believer in zombies or the undead. If you believe in the possibility of zombies or the undead, then there is the possibility of a living corpse...

[Jess from VA]

Incidentally, is "dead corpse" redundant?

Perhaps, but deceased corpse it is a satisfactory substitute for a dead body.

While not all bodies are deceased (see OssMan's posts), most bodies found on side of road are not still breathing.

Repaired.

While not all bodies are deceased (see OssMan's posts), most references to body found on side of road are not still breathing.

Since we're getting all legalistic and semantical (do you like that word?  I knew you would):
Most references don't breathe, whether they're found on the side of the road or not.  Some bodies do.

[R J]

That is like the Medicl Examiner being questioned by the Defense Attorney.

Sir, when you performed the autopsy, are you sure he was dead?

ME replied, must of been, cause his brain was on my desk.

[FryeVRCCDS0067]

General Francisco Franco is still dead. 

Sorry, but in my world, somehow it just fits.

Asked the Judge what she thought

an in camera inspection is necessary in her chambers

a subpoena may be in order

disobedience will mean contempt  

translation for those not of the legal profession............. NO PIE.  



yes Jess that is indeed a tumbler of ice and scotch on the desk  : )

[hotglue #43]

if NO pie is the result.... I reccomend all charges be dropped!!!!

[Oss]

Oh we need a gavel to maintain order in the courtroom

 Judge now has a gavel



hotglue which one should we have assigned to this case
