[Rhodes22-list] Neglecting My Boats (semi-political)

[Leland]

Herb:  God bless America, the Patriot Guard, and Hondas.  Most of my friends
are on cruisers or choppers, and the majority on Harley Davidsons.  So when
it came time to get a new bike, I thought I should get an HD too;  HonDuh. 
ST1300.

Chris:  I think you're still too big for a Montgomery, but what an
impressive boat.  Speaking of being too big; could you find a smaller bike? 
I test-rode a Buell Firebolt (don't think the Ulysses was out in 2004)
thinking that as a sport bike rider I'd want the lightest bike with the
biggest engine.  Incredible speed and incredible handling, but I couldn't
keep the front tire on the ground.  Thirty years ago it would have
definitely been my bike.

Art:  I pictured you more on a Boss Hoss than a 125 Vino.

Fast bikes and slow boats seem to keep life in balance.
