Got it!

I love mine. My Harley riding brothers want me to get a Harley. I think
they just want me on something they can keep up with. I told him this Guzzi
will probably last until I die!

They're just jealous!

besides, it probably will outlast you. But think of the fun you're
grand kids will have with it!

SAY WHAT!
Maybe some lessons on how to handle the bike would be nice.
JustWait has a training program going. Includes obscene gestures for anyone
under 10.


Who is the 80-year-old old fart on the front of that bike? If that is
herring, he surely has aged a lot - and badly - since I last saw him.


He for being well into his 60's I'd say he'd doing pretty good.

and I really don't know, but i would imagine that if he wanted he
could "drop and give 30" fairly easily.

Probably not. I hate pushups. My arms are long, which makes them harder to
do. I could never do one pullup, which kept me out of Airborne school. Most
arm spans are within an inch of a person's height. My arm span is five
inches longer than my height. Makes buying long sleeved shirts a bitch.

Pull ups never really bothered me. but at the time 40 was about it.

I can't do sit ups any more due to a couple hernia operations, however
I can still do a live stand up gig holding a 12 lb. bass guitar for
four hrs. with no breaks.

On a good note, you could easily ride one of those choppers with the
really high handlebars;)

--------------------------------------

I couldn't play a guitar for four hours laying down, let alone standing.

However, *this* works pretty well.

1969 vintage (keyboards and electronics) , completely rebuilt, re-tubed and
modified slightly for an extra amount of "growl". The cabinet is actually
from a pre-B3 Hammond and dates back to the mid '30's.
Also included a refurbished Leslie 122.

Found it on Craigslist last week .... cheap! It was formally used as a
rental for bands doing tours in the Boston area.
Always loved the sound of an old school Hammond B3. The new ones are
digital and, although they sound good, they just don't have the sound of the
old mechanical tonewheel.
