Sold the Trophy and yesterday did a deal over the internet to trade in the America for a... are you seated? Take a deep breath... Thunderbird!! I'm off to Calgary on the America to trade over as soon as weather permits. I'll see if I can find a picture of the Tbird and post it later.
Can I still come here and play?

Right on Keith. The Bird seems to be great bike. Ignore those who will invariably take this as an opportunity to bash the bike and state how much they hate it. And sure, play here often

Oh yeah, today IS April 1st...
I'm still looking for a picture of the Tbird. It's used but the previous owner repainted it in a matt black finish. Doesn't sound that good but wait 'till you see it!! It has a few accessories such as a windshield, floorboards and backrest. Dang, I wish I could find that picture... it much be on my laptop, I'll have to go and check.

Oops, forgot to mention that, Stephen. Yup, it's got a full set of driving lights too!!! Oh, and white walls (looks great with the matt black paint). Wait 'till you see it, then you'll understand why I went for it. Dang! I can't find the picture I'm looking for but I've asked them to send another. As soon as I get it I'll post 'er up.

The other question is: Will YOU want to come here and play with the "little guys"? Are you still going to let TBA's and SM's in your driveway, or do we have to park down the block?
I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.

Okay, I won't let this go on for too long. Yup, some of you got it... APRIL FOOLS!!  But if I had the money I would have bought it... she's a beauty (and it IS a Thunderbird)!!  Hey, I wasn't kidding about the windshield, backrest, lights and all the other stuff!

So Keith, Let me ask you.......if this is some version of Canadian Humour tied to the fact this is indeed April 1st, and is later exposed as such. Do I have your permission to hit the "nuclear button" & vaporize this thread? jh

Keith, what the heck is up with that. Is that photo shopped, if not how in the world did you Canadians get that car up in a tree? Perhaps that is the Flying Burritos Brothers tour bus

Yep Larry, and in Keith's case, emphasis on the word "higher"!!!! 
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)

Now please don't be bringing REALITY into this thread of Keiths..... Repeat after me in your best Dr. Demento imitation.... .....You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT??? I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And.. They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa, They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa. To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!! j  h

That'll teach me to stay off the 'puter before I have my coffee.  Good one Keith I'll be willing to bet your whole "is this a scam?" routine was a set up for this Very nicely done.
