[camle]

they had a pretty nice show on the history of motorcycles the other night. talked about Jay Leno's jet powered ride, then the Boss Hoss before going into the history of the bike. they started falling apart late inthe show when they failed to mention that Indian was back in production, etc., but they did have the Road Dog.

[RikaStrom]

LOL, yes you did, which just goes to show your dose is wearing off.

[Conspiracy Guy]

What does xshubby say about you? I can speak freely about Laura Earl today she is in an all day meeting.

[Conspiracy Guy]
