Went to the Breast Cancer ride. It was hot. But, good ride, plenty of BBQ, a few beers. The band was one of the better locals, but by the time they started, I had all the heat I needed. Brought the wife a pink bandana home. At the first stop, a real nice looking harley had had one of his mufflers sneak out. I offered some tools, but he thought it would slip back on and make it home. I walked on and snickered to myself.

Seems like you fulfilled your biker duty. Since he declined, I would suggest you reference your avatar. (That's a really cool gif, by the way.) |

Like your gif too, Rocketman! My son and his wife both work for Lockhead/NASA in Houston.
Forgot to mention. At one of the stops, I came out and some guys were looking at the Valk. One turns to the other and says, "Tom, that is one bike that'll beat yours. It's a 6 cyl."
I grinned a bit and rev'd her abit when I left.

Those moments are always great. I had a gal walk up to me as I was walking in to work recently, and said, "So you're the one with the pretty bike out there." I tried to be gracious, and said, "One of them, yes." She pressed, "But yours is the prettiest." Looks aren't usually on my list of important stuff, but that's still a nice compliment. |

Dag made the gif for me. I'd never bothered to set one up, and he sent that to me and beat on me till I uploaded it. Looks cool, though. I used to work for Lockheed, but now I'm with a different NASA contractor. The NASA contractor companies around here change almost as fast as the banks. |

The prettiest?  Wasn't that sweet of her!! Guess it's better than "the ugliest" but would have preferred "the sexiest" or "the baddest", or Bill, or George, anything but Sue.  |

I had a woman walk up to me recently and say "That sure is a pretty bike; what kind of Harley is it?" I responded that it wasn't a Harley, it's a Honda Valkyrie. Her response - "Oh ... well ... it's still pretty"!
Sheesh!
