There's a part in the classic movie, "It's a Wonderful Life", where the youthful George Bailey[Jimmy Stewart] says the three most exciting sounds a guy can hear are "train whistles, airplane motors and anchor chains".

Well, sorry George, but of course there are actually FOUR sounds that will stir a young man's soul more than any other out there.

And of course, THAT is the sound he hears the very first time he fires up and rides away from the dealership on his brand new motorcycle.

(congratulations Chuck...it's a grand feeling, ain't it?!)


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)
