I see the luggage and am reminded of when I was single, I packed differently. A medium duffel and that was it. A family man now, and we fill the back of a goddamn highlander with bags and pillows and blankets and snacks and god knows what else.

So, did we dump NPoCP when I wasn’t looking?

Full-body Panty Hose?  

I’m guessing that the hybrid addition would put them above a price point where they wouldn’t sell...

Didn’t one bounce and almost land in the guy?

No snow here, but mine got me stopped in a car wash for about 1 minute until I found the disengage button...

That orange trim, sir, add 5 HP, I’ll have you know...

When I was a truck driver, I used Thomas Guides.  Loved those. 

I was at AAA last week and they still have vending machines with these. 

Or call Japanese motorcycles “Rice rockets”

He who says “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” does not understand physics.

But hey, I’m sure he has a cool rooftop tent now...

I’ll name two: his 63 Karmann Ghia which he sold to buy a Datsun 620. The Datsun was then sold when he got a company car, a 1980 Caprice Classic.

Kirkland Charms?

Buell made good, yet flawed, motorcycles which were enjoyable to ride.  But HD refused to really do anything from a marketing standpoint and then said “well, no one wants them.” I’ve heard many stories of guys going in to buy Buell’s but the poseurs that worked the sales floor wouldn’t give them the time of day...God…

I think it would force them to make better decisions as it would be their money on the line...

Finance in NYC? I’ll recon it was north of $250K/Yr...

Yup.  If she opened with “I’m going to call the police and say someone is threatening me” then she’d have some cover.  But she got a bit specific...no one wonders why...

It’s the little fucking screws, with me.  If they don’t strip out, I lose them.  

Yup.  Saw that in San Jose 25 years ago.
