People these days...
« on: May 15, 2008, 07:16:11 PM »
I cried this morning. This morning, driving to work on I-5, I saw the unthinkable... A large semi truck load of steel scrap, with a still shiny 400F on top of it... :'(...I tried to flag the trucker down, but he would have none of it, and I couldn't follow him to wherever he was going...

One can only hope that he was snatching it for himself.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Or hope somebody at the scrapyard is on the ball and pulls it aside.

Dont worry, it is Japan or China bound... in a year it is a new bike..

Like one of my gas pump collecting buddy says, "If most of them didnt get scrapped, they wouldnt be worth anything today!"
