Met up with him today and I have to say he is one of the coolest guys I have met in a LONG time!

We had a good time..shared some beers and dinner together. I can't wait to go down to FL and visit him!

I might agree with Kruser about the windshield, but you gotta have a passenger backrest and some pipes. Remember, "Loud pipes save lives"!

SB is just what I pictured he'd look like. Was close on his wheels also.
Now the real question is who is that in front of sandbox controlling the bars and what-not? AND why is SB facing backwards?

Have mixed feelings about motorbikes.... we live close to a main road with a 50mph limit but you wouldn't know it. Riders of Japanese sewing machines are probably doing close to double that in second as they leave the traffic lights and you can still hear them when they're a mile away. Occasionally the cops put a mobile camera out to catch a few of them, but not nearly often enough.

There's one Harley comes past regularly and it's a treat to hear that lovely V-twin burble.

In my dim and distant youth I rode an Ariel 350 single-cylinder. On a good day, with a following wind, you could get it up to 90 outside town (that was before we had a nationwide 70mph limit and it WAS legal). My first machine was a BSA 250 sidevalve with a rigid frame (no rear suspension - OUCH).

Triumph motorcycles are a local industry, being built three miles up the road at Hinckley. And we also have Mallory Park a couple of miles further on.

I still enjoy watching the MotoGP on TV - how DO they stay on the track at those angles?

I wonder why Mr. SB (AKA Easy Rider) is not wearing his brain bucket. Just curious. Maybe it's one of those James Dean, Marlin Brando things

Harv

No doubt.

Well. I'm impressed!

He's got one Harv, it's that he isn't wearing it . . . his bedroll is

The better question is: Where's his Pismo? Or, is it stashed inside his Green . . . uhmm . . . Companion?

So tell us about your adventures, SB.

Who ever said the TS Exec Comm wasn't

psssst ... guys ..... he knew there was a camera pointed at him.
Wonder if there's any Hollywood blood in him.?.

Highmac... I thought I was the only one who referred to those Japanese things as "sewing machines"... only I was usually referring to having to sit (or wander around) through the car variety races at the track before the Firebirds and Camaros came up. They used have an annual "Player's Series"...

Hi Sandbox.

That is so cool, John... Nice photo of SB and his bike. Did you know that he has some sort of hitchhiker on board in back?

Kruser · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2003, 08:11:36 PM »

Sandbox is a body parts donor. That should explain a few things.
