FMJ; That was just one of MANY times. I am a mild mannered married man who's 'bout as normal and boring as they come. But, get me out of town on the scooter with a few friends and I can get everybody in trouble, guaranteed!

Well, keeping in character:
"He is not safe, he is good" (C.S. Lewis, in the Chronicles of Narnia)
"The purpose of an open mind, like an open mouth, is to eventually close it again on something solid". (G.K. Chesterton)
"Like a gold ring in a pigs nose, is a beautiful woman without discretion". (Proverbs, 13:8 I think)
"I did not make it. It is making me." (G.K. Chesterton). |

Jlance... I try and re-read them every year or so. I don't learn new things, but the profound depth of the simple truths never fails to move me to my core.
Another great one...
The setup... Whin, a talking horse that was kidnapped and raised in a foreign land, has finally escaped back to her homeland, Narnia. She knows nothing of the great lion Aslan, and being a horse, it terrified of lions in general. She is sitting there with two other escapees, a proud battle hardened talking war horse, and a proud princess. Whin, is just a simple mare.
While they stand there in a courtyard, a lion as big as an elephant leaps into the compound from over a huge wall, and lands right in front of them. They are all terrified, and awestruck. The battle horse and the princess back up terrified. Whin walks forward, lowers her nose to the ground before the great lion, and says....
"Please sir, you are so beautiful. I would rather be eaten by you, then fed by any other."
If I had to sum up my faith, that would be about as good a quote as I could muster.
Merry Christmas! |

...Reno H-D. Opening the doors, the first thing you see- the only thing you could see- was a beautiful Red S2 Thunderbolt. I don't know how many times I circled it. I'd walk away only to return to hover some more. I grabbed a brochure. I bought the blue-fade-to-white long-sleeve shirt. All the while I had that familiar stupid grin on my face we've probably all had when first spying a Buell.
My conversion was complete. I had succumbed to The Dark Side. circa August 1997

I think that Buell motorcycles are the implicit expression of that sentiment.
