Quote: I am sure Michael Moore would love to weigh in on this debate right here on this here August Motorsickle forum.
When he is done he will probly make a movie on the abuses of Speedmaster/America owners who pollute the atmosphere with their highly modified made in Great Britain Machines.
Who knows what he will call his movie. "failsafe" ?
Then of course ole Al will chime in with a new film of his own......."The Triumph of Global Warming" How to mess up the world with a Triumph America and Sceptre pipes.
Hmmmm! "Failsafe", huh Kevin?! Well, I think you may be on to somethin' here, but maybe he should just go the whole Kubrick route and maybe make it into an out and out farce and title it, "How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love My Britbike".
(BTW Kevin...Have I ever told you how much you sometimes remind me of Sterling Hayden?)
....I'd druther be slim pickins and get to ride that foiking pill all the way in!
Sorry Kev, but I've always kind of envisioned Larry in the Slim Pickens' role! And besides, I think Larry already has a pilots license.
Can't you just see our Larry in the cockpit of that B-52?....
"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one .45 caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days concentrated emergency raisons; one drug issue containing: antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair a nylon stockings. Shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."
(BTW...here's an interesting side note regarding that last "Vegas" line there....The original line said my Mr.Pickens was, "Shoot. A fellah could have a pretty good weekend in DALLAS with all that stuff", but the word "Dallas" was voiced over later by Mr.Pickens in post production and replaced with the word "Vegas" because JFK had just been assassinated right after the filming of this movie had been completed and before the movie was released. If you look very closely at Mr.Pickens' lips while he says that line, you can catch this)

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)
