I love motorcycles, but was never a hotdog. My first 4 years at Burningman I motorcycled out there. Three times I made arrangements for water, and one year I took EVERYthing...including, but not limited to: 12'x20' shade structure, 8 gals water, 2 framepacks, enough food for 3 weeks, 2 gal gatorade, booze, beer, bicycle, swim fins, tent, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, chair, table, stove, costumes, etc. No, I wasn't on a Goldwing, no trailer, no sidecar, the trip was 850 miles. I've ridden probably 150,000 miles with no serious accidents, and when I was in the Navy, I paid 55 cents for a pack of camels.

Harley rider here......lots of miles...used to ride dirt bikes too...gee do you suppose there is a reason for 25mph sighns..... like duuuuuuh....

Hope this does come all the way back around and bite me...bad karma like shit.......being a lawyer doesn't give a person common sense, probaably should have broke something on the other end of his body.

smokes...remember when they were $4 a carton retail......not that I ever bought any......and premium gas was 25c

Swim Fins? Oh that's right it is Burning Man......

Yeah, that was 2001, and I rode the bicycle around wearing the swim fins.
I had this joke, think I already posted it on the joke thread.

A toast to the dumbasses! Hear, hear! And while we're toasting, barflies, I've been hanging out with some Finns (swim Finns?) recently and they have a great holiday coming up that we might consider adopting here, at least within the Bar: http://www.pjhs.piikkio.fi/PROJECTS/Myt ... vappu.html

VAPPU

Is there an echo in here??

Where did you get that recipe?

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:49 pm

I think I need to shut the machine down for 5 minutes of maintenance.
I know that BevMo has everything, probably including mead. I can't find the really fancy beers in my current catalogs, but as I said I'll be acquiring another distributor later into the summer.

Salud!

Love catching up on this thread....Fucking too funny..Poor guy! ...TOAST!
