[Lonely Are The Brave]

A man’s got to know his limitations.

Dirty Harry

[usconservative]

Yeah. Just curl up and die when you get old, eh?

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I ran into a waist high cable while running full speed at night one time 40 years ago.

I think that was the last time I touched my toes.

If you have ever seen the footage from Jay Leno's Garage where he rides along in the Hemi Under Glass"" Barracuda, he takes some real risks on the show. Granted this was not part of his program (which I just read was axed by NBC), but, take it easy Jay - we love you and don't want to see you get taken out by some Burbank knucklehead!

[Leep]

Does he know anything about the top secrets files the bidens stored next to the Vette?

[utax]

“Tom Cruise on Geritol.”

Cruise isn’t exactly a spring chicken himself. He’s eligible for SS in two years.

[MinuteGal]

Thanks so much for posting the entire classic poem. I've not read it since high school lit class!

Flying VFR I made perfect landing at the wrong airport once. Does that count?

[wildcard_redneck]

If he was just out on street ride and then someone put a wire across a driveway then I totally agree with you.

For some reason, I was thinking motocross.

[central_va]

>>>Someone strung a wire across a driveway next to a parking lot, without any thing to enhance it’s visibility. This was going to happen eventually to someone.

Isn't that criminal?

[CommerceComet]

In other words, somebody got tired of motorcycles cutting across their property.

No reason that he couldn't put a few visibility flags on it, however. It would still accomplish the same thing. With a strung cable across the road, a vehicle can't go through it, around it, over it, or under it. To get through, someone has to get off their motorcycle or out of their car and physically unattach the cable, if possible, which defeats the whole idea of cutting across the lot to save some time.

“Leno broke several bones in a motorcycle...”

I didn’t know that motorcycles had bones!

They also say that a house “has good “bones”.

Houses don’t have bones either! /s

Ford should never pilot a plane again. He’s 80…

[Fresh Wind]

In other words, somebody got tired of motorcycles cutting across their property.

Yeah, very good chance of that. There's a parking lot near me that was a great way to avoid a difficult intersection. The first time I tried it I thought it was great. The next time, I found they had put in a series of speed bumps. Never again.

[knarf]

I'm 75 (Feb 29/Mar 1) and I nave learned to slow down, look all over the place at all times, be alert . . . . or just stay home.

Which is my usual choice.

[FatherofFive]

I hope Jay sues the hell out of the guy who did it.

How is this the parking lot owners fault? Jay was trespassing.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Jay’s getting too old for his hobbies.

[real saxophonist]

I didn’t know that motorcycles had bones!

[PGR88]

some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it,” Leno told the newspaper.

People suck. I bet the guy was half-hoping to hurt someone.

[mad_as_he$$]

“Hey, now, he did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!

Of course, that’s from one end of The Villages in Florida to the other end.”

Chuckle... good one.
