Who da thunk it?? I road to work today just because I had too you know sometimes it just calls. Anyway i needed to get some things from the store so i asked a couple of the girls from he office if they wouldnt mind running the errand for me. They told me they would but there be a cost.Id have take them both for a ride. Now being someone who wants to futher the education of our brand (plus the where both pretty 25 year olds) I agreed,you know take one for the team. The funny part is after I took them three more women from the office wanted a turn The things I do to for the brand.

Way to "take one for the team", Chris. The sacrifices we make for the "brand". LMAO! All I have had so far is the token, unnamed, silver haired dude at most ever gas stop I make. I would'nt take a Million bucks for the instant grin on their face when I fire up the america. My bro gets much more play in the "geezer" circle on his T100. Lots closer to the old school Bonnie.

Yep! I can see it all now...... "Moorhead. Chris Moorhead. Hop on the Triumph, Miss Moneypenny! We have a mission for "M" to do." 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Of course this only works for the married guys. I doubt I'll ever have that kind of luck. Wait, where in Ohio are you?

I once pulled up at a small town to take some photographs for a customer...An elderly woman sauntered over and proudly proclaimed to her friend how her husband had to sell his Triumph many years ago -in a "its either me or the bike" style ultimatums- I told her he got a good deal...but secretly we both knew I was in the guise of "tonto"-a red indian - speaking with a fork tongue!

I just wish it was a geezer magnet - just not the kind of geezer that normally walks up. You know the type - the ones that had Triumphs BEFORE I WAS BORN!

Chris, I must say, that I am humbled to be acquainted (if only virtually) with such a selfless and giving human being!! Triumph should take note, and I'm sure there's a Presidential Medal of Honor with your name on it!!! Were it that I could only make the same kind of sacrifice, then I would finally feel worthy....

It helps if you are the chick magnet. Take me for example, I am EXTREMELY Handsome. My Triumph just enhances that . (it also tends to make up for my short stature )

Then why did you get that pretty 675???  Buy it, and they will come. Just take it over to USC for a spin.

I'm in a 50 piece marching band and there's a girl there who I really like, but I've never had chance to say much to her. Anyways, last rehearsal, I was telling everyone I was getting my Speedie and she came up to me and said "My dad's got a Triumph, I love 'em. Fancy taking me out on the back of yours?" Naturally, I declined. Er, hang on,...no, I didn't.
Bonuses:
1. she hopes to get her own bike soon.
2. she's got her own lid.
3. she's not too big and will fit on the pillion pad of a Speedie.
Yay!

That's GREAT NEWS, newbie! Congrats on the new bike and maybe the new "long-term squeeze"!!! But before you and this little hottie decide to get serious and maybe "tie the knot" a little too soon(a little pro-active warning here dude), I want you to immediately go and read the Alec Baldwin thread currently making the rounds here!!!(have her read it at her leisure also, if you can) (fore-warned is fore-armed, ya know)

Hey Dwight, Is that the thread where you suggested we all should be on birth controll until we are 30, then given motorcycles and ride them without a helmet? Sure, that was good advice. Control then kill! HaAHAAA!

Chris, you are a man among men.....such honor, such integrity.... Gina, I'm with you. I have a magnet on the fridge that says "She liked imaginary men best of all." I could change that to "virtual BA.Com men", I suppose?.....What's worst is when I guy walks up and says 'Would you take me for a ride?" Eeeeeeew....just a little too SNAGGY for me (Sensitive New Age Guy).

Well Shane, I guess I have to admit that the "science" of Eugenics has been somewhat discredited in the past....but THAT was ONLY because it concentrated it's focus on racist endevors for the most part. You see, being basically the OVERALL misanthrope that I am, MY little suggestion would encompass ALL races and creeds, irrespective of their wealth, fame(once again, may I direct your attention to the "Baldwin Thread"), status, political views, etc, etc, etc...and would of course NEVER be used as a tool to perfect any kind of future "Master Race" of blond, blue-eyed KNUCKLEHEADS, or anything like THAT!!!  NOW do you get the picture???!!! (Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to the Dog Park, where I feel some sense of kinship!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Don't get me wrong, I love you guys and I wouldn't ride hundreds of miles to have a cookout with just anyone. But sometimes this group isn't quite youngersinglefemaleenough for me.

Paula the only time I ever road on the back was to answer a question for Suzie that I could not answer with out showing her from the back and even then it gave me the creeps (I was praying no one would see me)So in the PC world we ,live in it was fun to see people wanting to have some fun at work by going for a ride The laughs and the take a number comments was a blast. Plus where else can a happily married guy git grouped by a pretty young girl and not get into trouble man I love riding!!!!

I thought it was a typo but I'm so old I fart dust too so I could be wrong. I figured it was supposed to be snap.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Sorry Paula,
But, I still can't fathom what a SNAG would be.
I know what a RUB is, and a JAP as well. But, isn't
"a sensitive guy" kind of mutually exclusive terms?
Heck, I thought I was the only one.
