        That's not what I heard. In fact for many - a large foot is a prerequisite.

            Yup, and I would put money on them scaring Thom as much as they do me when on two wheels.

            When I was in high school got our learner's permit at 14... loved it then but IMHO that is way too young. Of course I learned to drive on the farm a year earlier, much more controlled environment, the cows hated it though. :p

              A few weeks ago I had a kid pull out of a side street without stopping, well he stopped when his front bumper contacted my saddlebag. Now it was a blind intersection (for him) going from a side street to a main street. His excuse was he didn't have to stop because there wasn't a stop sign.
              I almost convinced him to get out of the car and 'discuss' it with me. But when he grabbed the door handle he saw the little smile on my face and instead rolled up his window and locked his doors
              Back in the old days I never left home without my Indian Primary chain belt with a 1 1/2 lb. stainless steel buckle. I'm thinking I need to dig it out again

    The guy wore a ghillie suit. The only thing worse would be to paint a sheet asphalt gray with a white line on it and carry a "Speed Limit 65" sign.

      Someone in a gilley suit should stand out like a sore thumb on an asphalt road. Unless it's common to have bushes growing out of the road.

        It depends...If he was on a curve where he blended in with the background or people thought he was just a bush and didn't need to swerve to miss him.

        Wearing a ghillie suit surely didn't give him a silhouette of being a human being.

          Absolutely.
          But standing in the right lane at night I got to think the suit wasn't the real problem, more standing in the right lane at night seems like it would be the real problem.

            If he was wearing a ghillie suit designed to blend in in Humboldt County, it would have attracted you like a moth to a light bulb.

                      Yeah, amazing how tough people are in a cage but as soon as you want them to step out they roll up the window. I've had people rid my ass for miles, get to a long stop light, drop the kick stand and the car buttons up like Fort Knox (must be something about a 6'3 300# bald biker wanting to talk to you, freaks people out).

                      I haven't seen a chain belt for years, should have picked one up when I was younger, they're a bit pricey now, still look bad as Hell though.

    i *thought that it is 12 for farms, 14 for non congested towns
    and 15 for cities

    personally, everyone in my family was tought how to drive, as soon as we could reach the pedals ... "for emergancy reasons "

    of course sometimes that "really" meant, we were just out of milk ...

        I just went down to the basement to see if my old one was still there.
        I didn't find it but I did find an old Harley primary chain I can turn into one (after I get the rust off).
        Now the question that will be bothering me is, "Why the hell do I have a Harley primary chain":confused:

            The thing is I've never owned a Harley. Now finding old Indian parts around here is common. In fact I have a 38(?) Indian Chief rigid frame setting in back of my house. I even came across an old Indian manifold (off a 53 chief) in the basement, and I know I have the two outer shells for as Indian gas tank in the cellarway.
            But Harley stuff? Never

                      Yup, people are starting to understand what they have now and the screaming deals are few and far between. I buddy of mine in high school scored a '70 Buick GS for 500 bucks because some little old lady wanted to free up some room in her garage and had a "newer" car.

                        That's the truth. I got rid of my Indian when I blew the low end and tried to get the bushings for the connecting rods. After the guy gave me a long ass speech about them being a classic and the Royal Royce of motorcycles he said it was $100 a bushing
                        In hind sight I have been kicking myself in the ass ever since for selling it.
                        Selling that bike is right at the top of my list of dumbest things I've ever done.

  • Some Harley fans are diehard!

    For some reason, this reminded me of an apt. I lived in once, I saw a new neighbor moving in, and he came over to say hello - "Hi - my name's Harley" - I chuckled "what's your last name, Davidson?" - he laughed and said "How did you know?! - he then showed me his license - his name was Harley Davidson :rolleyes:
