Your not talking about a gun to your head and have to decide whether to pull the trigger or not. There are alternatives to the two choices you mentioned.
It sounds like you've been all over the world but I'll bet there are lots of cool places in the US you haven't been. Think of all the women you haven't given any money to yet.

That's true. What money? That's why I don't have a bike.

A scan of a sorry photo of my 1st bike. A short time after this was made, my wife & I was headed down a trail away from beach, an old man came in from right on bycycle. Bamm. Ladys ride side saddle there so she didn't hit ground. In a few minutes we had a crowd with big knives, "parangs" all around us.
someone came by in a jeep from the Indonesian oil compamy and helped us out. Anyway I agreed to pay any Dr. bills. He showed up at house w/a bill that took 2 people to carry. So after feeding some of the chiefs in my neighborhood, I made him an offer that he took.

One of my neighbors who died recently was in the oil biz as well. He had some awesome stories, with occasional embellishment, about mixing with the locals in various scary places. Pretty adventureous crowd he ran with. I'd like to hear any stories you've got bb. Maybe start a thread and spin an occasional tale?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-22-2005, 02:19 PM

I'll second that, Griff

busterb · 05-22-2005, 07:15 PM

Well someone tell me what to name the thread. And realize that I'm not great at spelling or the written word. And hope I don't stopping drinking

The BS might not flow as well then.
Maybe about the kick off of the Biafra civil war or when the Shaw of Iran was crowned back in 76. Which BTW I have a few great tales of. Or perhaps about the jungles of Peru. S.E. Asia was kinda slow. Open to suggestions.

LCanal · 05-22-2005, 07:20 PM

Look familiar? Unless yours was a Binta?

busterb · 05-22-2005, 08:27 PM

Humm, you really think I can remember that far back?

LCanal · 05-22-2005, 08:33 PM

Depends if it was a Bike or a form of transport. I sent it to show that not much has changed at least in the basic requirements in the past 30 years.

busterb · 05-22-2005, 08:56 PM

I meant no offence LCanal. It was my main form of transport from job site to home.

. Company didn't provide that.

Call it Busters Gushers and start at the beginning.

busterb · 05-22-2005, 10:34 PM

Humm. I think maybe Busters bull shit might be more in line. But I promise to tell the truth. That depends on what "is" means, no?

LCanal · 05-23-2005, 01:29 AM

I didn't percieve any in the first place. Just a picture from their 2005 line up that looks and probably is the same model.

600 hornet is a damn nice bike for the money, reliable too =)

Growing up my Father owned a Honda and Suzuki dealership. My sister and brothers grew up on motorcycles and we (dh and I) recently bought Hondas for our two kids. 8year old got a 50 and the 10 year old got a 70. Brings back a lot of memories....all good!

So the other night dh and I were watching the kids ride. Dh built a small jump out of mulch and they were trying it out. I decided I wanted to try it. My dd said that was fine but I had to wear her helmet and chest protector. I was doing great having a super time. I had gone around about 20-30 times and was finally getting a little tired. My big but doesn't fit on the little seat so well anymore! Well the last time over the jump I got a little to cocky and C R A S H down I went. (Bruised my ankle and my head hit the ground quite hard, thank goodness I had the helmet on! ) I absolutely LOVED it and would like my own bike to be able to ride with the chilins.
