After the forks stuck in the asphalt, all I had to show off was road

I can't count the number of times I couldn't start my bike because the
kill switch was off. I've called a friend with a truck to take it

I almost side-swiped a parked car as a teen on MY 350. I saw some girls I knew & I thought I'd smile & wave like a cool cat. Gotta keep those eyes on the road. I veered to the right & almost ate-it!BernieAug 14, 2010 03:42:25 PM, nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com wrote:

There is an interesting comment there - how most people complain that the
book tricked them with the title - I have to admit - I feel the same way - I
