Ouch!!!!!
Jings Baron I'll never sleep now.
Well, for me it is clear: Seeing this, I prefer sitting in my armchair and watch this instead of sitting on one of those engines.
PS: To answer your comment on my "Memoirs" post:
a) we had hired a crop duster pilot to fly the plane. An experienced guy who flew the cotton fields in Sudan.
b) You will know about the dramatic change in my life next in next month's chapter.
Subrosa,...you truly are every man's dream with your intellect and all...and hopefully wings...lol. Scotland would've been elsewhere today had they known you sooner darling...
My question to you is... why the hell did you not run for a seat in politics...u sure as hell had and have the knack for it...never too late never 2 late ..think about it
Peter, let's get back to where we were...
I've been off since my mom's passing
Now I know why I never took up riding on a motorcycle. That plus all those people I visited in the hospital.
All self-inflicted injuries I'd say. The only one I feel sorry for is the woman who's idiot husband/boyfriend dumped her off the back.
I can't help but think "what were they thinking?"
As far as vid #2 goes... if anyone ever pulled that sh#t on me while I were in the pillion seat, would get my foot right up their arse! Good Grief!
I know it takes practice to do this, and I enjoy watching others do it at the Drag tracks, but come on... how many bikes does one go through to perfect their trick?
I think I'll just be lame and ride.
I have to go now and organize my campaign. LOL! ;)
Lady R!
I agree with you , if anybody did that to me or any of my friends...God help them...my pussycat will get them before they knew what happened to them
Good luck
