A motorcycle is a motorcycle to alot of people not in the know.

Reminds me when some woman I used to work with had heard that I rode, and she asked my "SO, what kind of Harley to you have?" (slap hand on forehead).

They just are not able to think outside the HD box!

Oh well, I guess it's the thought that counts, right?

Looks like a fine gift to me, bring it to the next rally. Use it for the target in the potato cannon sharp shooting challenge.

I haven't noticed any oil yet but it does run slow and I can here it ticking from the next room and it vibrates.

Probably burnt all the oil, and the engine mounts need greasing

Apparently there is a theory on this phenomonin. It`s called the theory of relativity - and of course it was discovered by an old bloke.

It`s about time and space. Apparently all have too much of both.

He also discovered that for every faction there was an opposite and equal faction.

He focused his research on Gravity.  Particularly tha opposite and equal to "gravity" which is "aggravity"...the verb (- that`d be tha "doing" word for young people that didn`t go ta school in tha fifties) of which of course is to "aggravate", for which he discovered a cure. ...

It`s tha application of a force between ya legs, that accelerates a bloke at tha same speed that gravity accelerates any bodymass, .... or at least enough ta burn down a dunny in 1 second per second.
 
Very observant was this gentleman, he was even 60 years ahead of the Beatles when it came ta haircuts, and he knew if some of that hair came off a biting dog - it would cure tha biggest mother of a headache, just by drinking it. ...As ya might`ve guessed, I`m testing his theory right now.

I'm glad my unfortuneate Christmas present amused many of you.

Well, it's over now.

I heard a bang from the other end of the house and when I investigated and the smoke had cleared this was what greeted me.



I want to have Christmas at Dereks house next year!!
