Lou, would you sell the HD for a BWM? Asking for a friend.

The people of Oshkosh are starting to get tired of the whole thing. The EAA members used to come into town to shop, eat or have a drink. Now it's all provided for them on the grounds and the EAA gets a big cut. The bloom is off the rose.
I'm lucky, booms don't bother me like that. As a helicopter crewman, shouldn't have been near big booms, but once still got close enough to a bunch of 105s to feel a heck of a concusion squeeze when they went off with big shrapnel hitting around me (I dove in a bunker, was safe enough). Too close behind a claymore once, another big concussion squeeze and showered with dirt and tree pieces. Just enough experience to have no desire to get near explosives. I haven't even lit a firecracker since the Army, no desire to.

I never thought Wagner was a good anything. One of those actors that's the same guy, no matter what kind of part he gets.

I wonder if it's the size embossed on the tire that's there now.

Maybe one of them will have a death's bed confession, if not, doubt we'll ever know.

Good evening all. I would never sell my Harley to buy a BMW but I would own both. I actually stopped by the dealer in Tampa. They had no new Beemers. Not only that everything they get is sold. I remember when the same was true in the 80's and early 90's with Harley's. Then it was demand now it is lack of production. He said it should pick up in a couple of months. I will go back and try to ride one but they will be hard to acquire for awhile. My neighbor picked a pineapple out of his patch. I think it is the best one I have ever eaten. it was so yellow on the outside. I put a splash of the juice in my vodka tonic, yum. I made him and his wife some fresh guac from the avocados that come off of his tree. Hey, they hang over in my yard and sometimes drop right there for me to pick up. Golf in the morning at sunrise. The week is over. Everyone ride safe.

I don't need another bike. I don't need another bike. I already have 3 and I don't need another bike to mess with. I have had to hold myself back from taking some cash and going after this one for $2500. 65 TRS6 engine.
