|To Vickie, glad to see a female with some class speak out on this BBoard

  This ain't a "BBoard"...  Nice try, though.

|As for James Dutton, I think that the tube of Plastic Glue that you
|carry with you to repair your ZX-10 is giving some sort of BUZZ,
|This is not the rec.plastic.motorcycle BBoard, you must be lost!!!!

  Poor wittle John...  Somebody come and invade *your* newsgroup?  Don't you
just HATE it when that happens?

|If not enjoy the reading,

  Oh, LOOKY JIM!!  ADVICE!!!  His advice is worth about what you paid for
it, even...

| I guess what I stated about rocket riders
|and poorly dressed "FOOLS" seems to have irritated you, why
|do you fit in one of these categories or encourage it.

  Huh???  Work on that grammar, guy...

| No flames
|Jim, if you are reading this BBoard enjoy it you might learn 
|something about the people who ride Harleys,

  Such as???  Some of us *have* ridden Harleys...  Some of us still do,
some of us don't for whatever reasons apply.  Are you trying to make some
meaningful distinction based on choice of motorcycle?  That *would* be
a typical stupid move...

|16F(soon)this is a 1916 61CU Harley Davidson Jim
|47Indian(started)this is the bike that competed with the Harley Jim,
|made in the USA>
|78FX this is a Kick Start only Harley Superglide Jim.
|80 Sturgis this is a belt driven Harley Jim named after a town called Sturgis
|90XLH1200 this is a Harley Sportster Jim
|92FLHTC This is a Harley Full Dresser Jim

  Really??  Wonderful how you have figured out your text editor SO WELL, enough
to add Jim's name in on each line...  Are you just as abrasive in person to
fellow motorcyclists?  It must be nice to know everything...

|HOG#0547387-you get one of these #'s when you own a HARLEY

  Oh, JOY...  Something to aspire to!!!  NOT...

|AMA#669993-A group for Motorcyclists

  No shit...

|ABATE-You probably don't know this one.........

  Guess again...

|And lastly as for the inferiority complex, I have none, you evidently do,

  Poor John - trying to turn that wonderful writing style around on Jim...

|I do not own the fastest, best handling bike in the world nor do I aspire
|to own one,

  At least you obviously have this right...

| all my rides except the 1916, and the 1947 I have owned since new.

  We are all VERY impressed for you...

  No, REALLY...

| Welcome aboard Jim, enjoy our group............................

  Your group?  We're glad you think its all yours, and not Jim's also, since
he's been around the motos newsgroups a lot longer...

  Figures...
