Well...there goes my RIGHT ARM, folks!!!

Sorry to hear this, Derek.

(but I think I know the "REAL reason" here...You're hooked on ridin' that cool GTS1000 around lately, aren't YA?!...and so you've left us ol' Triumph ridin' slobs in your dust, HUH???!!!!)

Tell ya what! If your route to Hanford just happens to take you through THIS Concrete Jungle, maybe we could hook up and I'll ride with ya there! Ya know, it's been a few years since I've gone to that show, AND I STILL haven't as of yet ever made it to that particular Flat Track museum!(kind'a surprisin' since you know how I "kind'a" appreciate those kinds o' bikes, huh?!)

So...what ya say?


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)
