Russ, are you familiar with Ft. Worth H-D?
Mark II's posting of his test ride on a RG got me thinking again. Ft. Worth is supposed to have a Chrome Yellow RG.

Hey Greg!

For me, 1 shot out of ten shots (per hole) and I'm happy. LOL.

Looking into trading up?

Yes I was over there yesterday. Do you want me to pick it up and bring it to WoodStock'16™ for you?

One shot per hole sounds like a fun game! Not the golf part though....

Sure! Don't forget the title. In my name, of course!

My wife and I went to the Calgary Bull Sale & Agricultural Show and one of the first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls. We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,

'THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR'

My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs ......smiled and said, 'He mated 50 times last year, that's almost once a week.'

We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said,
''THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR'

My wife gave me a healthy jab and said, 'WOW~~That's more than twice a week ! ...........You could learn a lot from him.'

We walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters,
'THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR

'My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, and said,
'That's once a day ..You could REALLY learn something from this one.'

I looked at her and said,
'Go over and ask him if every time was with the same old cow.'

My condition has been upgraded from critical to stable and I should eventually make a full recovery.

Rupert, you're a lot smarter than a dumb ol' concrete guy, but I'm gonna tell ya something every shade tree mechanic knows.

Leather belt.

Think about it. Works every time...
