Went down to watch a couple grandsons play football yesterday. The oldest
wanted to see if his feet reach the footpegs yet. That's been the criteria
for his first ride. Well, now they reach, so all he needs is some proper
clothing and he's good to go!

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

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.

Thanks. It's a little old, an '89, but it'll still outperform any Harley I
know of, except maybe the Buell. I've not come up against one of those yet.

My grandkids all want me to take them for a ride, but first their feet have
to be able to rest on the passenger pegs. And toes only doesn't count!

I'm sure you know, but they make some nice jackets for street now.
Turtlebacks with spinal protection, kidney, elbow... And of course, as
you already know, buy a new fitted brain bucket, never used...

Good luck, and remember, you will be creating a monster;)

Someone might want to wash and wax that rat bike. Maybe check the oil
and tire pressure too. Looks severly neglected.

The advantage for JohnH is that any "brain" bucket he wears, will

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 still do a live stand up gig holding a 12 lb. bass guitar for

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

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.

doesn't help the performance, it hinders turning and quick reaction, and
they're downright ugly.

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.

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

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.

Please keep your eyes open for a Mantis Tiller on Craigslist. I *need* one
of those things! I'd really like the 4-stroke.

BTW, anyone watching can put this on the Christmas list they're keeping for
me. Hint, hint.

Went down to watch a couple grandsons play football yesterday. The
oldest
wanted to see if his feet reach the footpegs yet. That's been the
criteria
for his first ride. Well, now they reach, so all he needs is some
proper
clothing and he's good to go!

"so all he needs is some proper clothing and he's good to go!"

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.

Pfffff..I could do over 70 real strict pushups.
Once in community college, a group of classmates bet me I couldn't do one
handed pushups... I was on number 15 when one of the guys jumped on my back.
I collected of course. I also liked doing headstand pushups, although I
usually needed a wall or something to keep my balance.

Come on, that's almost believable. If you want to be like your lover/
clone Harry, you need to come up with more far fetched lies than that!
Try at least doubling the numbers.
