Default #$@%!!!!!! Sometimes!

So I pull up the my local coffee shop/food place to do some work on the computer. I get of my Hog, walkin' towards the door when this little New Yorker, who can't stop ajusting his hair, says "Wanna Race?", well I know he's just being friendly, so I inquire about what he rides... e&.

Turns out he's waiting for his "friend" (when the old lady showed up, I think it turned out to be his mom) to pick him up to go pick up his 2005 ZX-10 Ninja. He's telling me about how it puts out 150 hp, yaddaa yadda yaddaa.[:@]

I sit down to do my work.... he's still talking to me [:'(] Won't stop! Showing me his new Neon Green Leathers that match his bike! I was about to crack!

WTF!

I know I'll see him again, small town and all. In his little green elf suit! What I wouldn't give to have a Harley that could toast his little ZX-10... people rag on me all the time on this sight for wanting a fast Harley! This is why!...

(think I should race him? I figure if the distance is short enough I can take him, you know, the first 50 feet or so [])

If he has ZX-10 you don't have chance regardless of the distance... a V-Rod may put up a fight....

Not much hope in that race, amigo. Ignore his *** and tell the old-school story of why Green motorcycles are such bad luck charms..
Well the way the graybeard told me (technically this only applies to Harley-Davidson's but what the hell), green motorcycles are bad luck because of the high rate of casualties during WWII. American's really struggled on HD's during combat missions/courier duty while serving in North Africa. The Germans had some shaft driven bikes that were far superior suited to the Desert conditions..

But Kaw boy won't know WTF you are talking about and maybe it will worry his little NY mind enough to cause him to tinkle in his little green suit....

Well, that changes everything.

I LOVE coffee but hate Starbucks.











You still need to let it go however, and next time tell the guy to leave you alone.
