A Yamaha rider, a Harley rider and a Triumph rider stopped in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze, while touring the deserts of the Middle East. All of a sudden the Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to death!

However, with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi National holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said, "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping."

The Yamaha rider was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Yamaha rider had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The Harley rider was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth by himself), and after watching the scene, said "All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again, sending the Harley rider out crying like a little girl.

The Triumph rider was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You own the greatest and most historic brand of motorcycle in the world. Triumph has built some of the best and most reliable motorcycles throughout history. For this, you may have two wishes!"

"Thanks, your most Royal highness," the Triumph rider replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes."

"Not only are you an honorable, handsome, wise and powerful man, you are also very brave," the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?" the Sheik asks.

"Tie the Harley rider to my back."

As tough as Harley riders are, it would take 200 lashes to break through. I mean, some Harley riders have been known to put 4,000 miles a year on their bikes, can you imagine? Triumph riders are smart! We Ride!


Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

In a series of even - numbered entities , it is impossible to have a "middle" entity . Here we have six odd , but even entities . The middle man has been eliminated . Sorry , just a defender of physical truth .
