Young hip Jeff and the old Harley guy

re-post from years ago on the old VRCC board....don't recall the author

A hip young man named Jeff goes out and buys a 1997 Green/Ivory Valkyrie tourer. It is one of the best looking and fastest motorcycles available in the world, costing about $14,000. He takes it out for the first time. While stopping for a red light, an old man on a Harley (looking about 60 + years old) pulls up next to him. The old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface of the Valkyrie and asks, "What kind of Bike ya'got there, sonny?"

Jeff proudly replies, "A 1997 Valkyrie, Green/Ivory of course, they are the fastest, and it cost $14,000 dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man, shocked. "Why does it cost so much?

"Because this bike can do up to 135 miles an hour!" proudly states the cool dude.

The Harley driver asks, "Can I look her over?" "Sure," replies Jeff.

So the old man pokes his head over the tank and looks around the big F-6 engine. Leaning back on his Harley, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice bike, all right!"

Just then the light changes so Jeff decides to show the old man what his Valk can do. He floors it, and within 12 seconds the speedometer reads 135 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly, whhhoooossshhh! Something whips by him, going much faster! "What on earth could be going faster than my Valkyrie?!" Jeff asks himself.

Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him. Whoooooosh! It goes by again, heading the opposite direction!

And it almost looked like the old man on the Harley. "Couldn't be," Jeff said to himself. "How could a Harley out run a Valkyrie?!" Especially a Green and Ivory one.

Again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror! Whooooosh Ka-BbblaMMM! It plows into the back of his bike, demolishing the rear end.

Jeff jumps off, and it IS the old man!!! Of course, the Harley and the old man are hurting for certain. He runs up to the old man and says, "You're badly hurt! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man moans and replies,
"Yes. Unhook my suspenders from your side-view mirror!
