Ever lost an item on eBay that you REALLY wanted?

annieannieMember
No harleys for me! I like my knees and ankles the way they are! We used to have a bike, but our "great north eastern USA tour of gas station bathrooms" ( from IL thru Canada to Main and back with my brother and his teenie tiny bladder in 9 days. Only purpose of the trip to him was to see how many miles he could go in one day.) was enough for me. I'll stick with my Beemer. Bimmer, how ever you like it spelled. 4 wheels and zoooom! Big Grin

Hmm, well, has the pouring rain forgone for the sake of the Hummer pixs? You can leave the Hummer plugged in – I promise not to tease.

You don’t use “the finger” to signal your intentions to other drivers, do you? If you do, do you use your clutch hand or your gas hand (it’s been a while, so I’m not sure which hand does which – they say one never forgets how to ride a bike, but I have)? I would imagine it’s harder to give someone the finger when driving a bike. I think I’d be either breaking or gassing and wouldn’t be overly concerned about communicating to the other driver. Or, I’d be waiting for the ambulance.

not with passengers.
Sounds like you have some very smart friends. Passengers? That must be a bigger bike than I thought, or do you put the extra passenger on the handlebars? Do you have a sidecar?

Now don’t get upset with me, but I have a serious question: What are your thoughts on helmet laws?

A slightly less serious question, but still semi-serious: Are seat belts required in sidecars, and do they make them with airbags?

A slightly, slightly less serious question: Are you a member of a motorcycle gang slash club?

An absolutely non-serious question: Does AARP sponsor motorcycle rallies?

Back to serious: Have you ever done the Sturgis thing?

Caution: End-of-serious-zone

Did that make you a broad on a bike?

Actually, many doctors, lawyers, etc. ride Harleys in the South! Never noticed any tattoos
The tattoos aren’t always visible when the tattee is clothed, especially with all their leathers on. Didn’t Malcolm Forbes ride a bike with Liz? I’d bet Liz would have a tattoo or two.

In what, or should I say, “In where”?

Personally, if I could, I’d intend it. I’d even make reservations, and invite a few people. Earth would be nice, what with the warmth and the water. I’d even settle for a different planet outside the Solar system as long as I could have access to this forum. But, a 4-year response time could get trying. And, taking 8 years to exchange ebay feedback could be intolerable.

Anything else?

Which has more chrome – the Harley or the Hummer?
Is the Harley a recent acquisition?
Do you wear a leather Harley jacket in your Hummer?

There were so many questions, R, I think I need a nap!
I don't plan on ever living anywhere where it is cold enough to wear a heavy Harley jacket in any car!
I did have a Vespa with a sidecar. Sidecars are the pits!! They make a cycle very hard to steer, I think.

Yes, the bike has a passenger seat, but it would depend on the weight or size of the person. To be safe, I wouldn't let anyone on over maybe 175#. A 1200 is not the smallest or the largest, just a medium size bike.... I just like to be alone. That is why I like to ride..peace and quiet thinking time.
This bike was purchased in the spring.
No, I don't belong to a "biker" club, but I have met some very kind members and many of them do a lot of children's charity work!
Don't think I will compare chrome...besides I love my bike and hate the Hummer, so I might cheat!
Two things I would not leave my driveway without, a helmet and insurance! But, maybe that is because of my prior training...or maybe I don't have a death wish. Also, the helmet is a full that covers the back of my neck. My daughter's x hit and killed two boys on a cycle with half helmets. They were hit in the back of the neck area.

I've done that. Pretty easy actually.....proly not so pleasant for the animal as the rubber bands cut off circulation and they dry up and fall off! Handy to know if needed in the case of a deserving subject!!

For some reason, I’m not surprised.

I don’t think I’ll ever look at rubber bands the same way.

In that case in this case, I hope to remain undeserving and unsubjected.

Kind of puts a new twist on this quote: “Better to try to do something and fail in the deed, Than to try to do nothing and always succeed.”

Jabber, I don't remember. It was years ago. Too many for an enjoyable trip. It wasn't much fun. My brother is a brat! The only day I remember being interesting was the day we got to lead, and got off the interstate and went thru the mountains in Vermont. Pretty! All he talked about was getting some lobster in Main. So, we go go go to get there, and he orders something else!! We all had lobster and it was fantastic!

Me too MG! Bulls, Horses, Sheep and Cats. We only use Rubbers on the sheep now. All the rest are done with this lovely little stainless steel device (well except the cats, that was when I worked at the Vets) - I like to think about Ex Boyfriends Wink

Here, Beanz meanz Heinz - a fart in every bean Big Grin
I used to have a Big Money Worry. Sold it as suspension on German cars is always of the boneshaker variety - no good for anyone in England except purveyors of cures for haemhorroids, and it was too difficult to get technical information about them*, which makes me feel very naked in case I am tempted to get one of those 'my mechanic' things that are more expensive than a car to run. Eek

*BMWs, that is, not haemhorroids.

Ok, Jabber, but I am on my way to Naples to trade the dang thing off
If by some fluke I was in that situation, a trade-in would be unlikely, as I would end up taking a bath on it. If I had ebay Motors experience, I’d probably go that route. But, I would avoid any bidder from the Mount St. Helen’s area – at least until the mount made up it’s mind.
