It's not a memory lapse my friend we are like a computer harddrive , we,re at capacity , tired and in dire need of a defrag .It's there ya gotta shake it loose sometimes .

 

The first time I heard the term sled used for a motorcycle was in the late seventies. I used to hang out at an old Harley dealer in Alexandria and he called all bikes sleds. I sure miss that shop. It was about 1000 square feet and mostly used for working on motorcycles. He kept 2 or 3 used Harleys and 1 new one now and then by the front windows to sell.

 

Whoaaa, Man! Keep that up and they'll be bogarting your stash.
