Path!!  BLISS!   You don't know good when you've got it good.  When I was 
a lad, all 433 of us lived in a cigar box on an rabbit trail.  We had to 
work 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, crawling through the sewage drainage
fields, and mountains of trash covered with broken glass, wearing 
nothing but cutoffs and flip-flops (at least we looked like squids ;-).  

When we got home we had to eat our _cold_ rocks in the dark, and then our step- 
uncle would hack us with his machette, and send us off to our dirt spot
without dessert, just in time to wake for our crawl back work.  If we 
were lucky, the swelling in our throats would subside enough for us to 
whisper engine noises to each other, until Uncle Bluto would catch us and 
strangle us to death again.  Sometimes we would revive when he threw the 
hot used engine oil from his Harley on our limp bodies.  

And we were GREATFUL to get that!

Well, Ed, I guess I'm weird too. I hated beer when I was around 14 or so,
because all we ever got was Budwater. Then I was exposed to "richer" beers,
& liked them. I drink beer, but would rather have water than bud. Then
again, I like being weird.

 Well.. in a wheelie your motor is revving much higher for a much
 longer period of time than when you're going up a hillside. I doubt
 that you're going to see much better than a 1 in 3 grade (even in
 SF) in most places. Most road engineers know better than to create
 such a grade..

 Also, your oil pan is baffled so that the oil doesn't slosh away
 from the pickup with sudden movements. A wheelie may starve your
 motor because the baffling can't retain enough oil at that demand
 rate. 

 Hell.. I don't know. Ask Yamaha. They wrote the book.. In fact,
 they give instructions on how to replace the pickup (with another 
 model) to solve this problem..

OK, but I take the title "Keeper of the Dumpy ol' Thumpy".  My

On a sad note, I just watched a Bud-Light commercial, where they show your
stereotypical Harley Biker-Gang guy standing in a bar, and they actually
were able to pay him enough to say:  "Bud Light.  The beer for biker of the
90's."  I almost gagged.

This scares me. At that speed, flying passed him, who knows what he's going to
do. If he's been tailing you for ages, you never know what'll happen.

 Are you a socially irresponsible feeb or what?  Rather than do your
duty and rip her throat out, or at least stomp the snot out of her, you
LET HER GO to terrorize other two-wheelers?

 I'm sure you're deeply ashamed, Ron.
