Scooterville Folly
It’s no Burgman 400, but it sure is cute!
The confirmation and course materials for my motorcycle safety and licensing class came in the mail today. Assuming all goes well, I should be licensed by the middle of September. Then all I have to do is figure out how to finance the Burgman …

The 650 Exec has a nice place for Donna’s little hiney.
I’m sorry, but that thing is just plain weird looking.
Yeah, futuristic and cool. I can’t decide which color I like the best.
I meant I like the Burgman, not the hideous thing you found on Flickr.
how am i supposed to take a nap on that Burgman thing? there’s no back to lean on, and seat belt!
as for the VW — I think it’s FABulous! Let’s get one in CHARTREUSE and find some long-haired friends to ride along with us!
And then all of our long-haired friends can stick their little heads out of all of the windows and bark at the motorcycles.
If you put a yellow school bus on there instead, it can look like the doggies are off to school!
Rob - Do you think my brother-in-law would look okay with his head sticking out of the window and barking at the motorcycles?
At least _I’m_ amused, anyway.
Donna - Maybe you could stick a mattress on top of the VW bus.
Napping at high speed!
Donna: I showed you the picture of the seat back for the 400. You must’ve been asleep.
Theresa: Donna was refering to “seven long-haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse Micro Bus…” Ask Rob for the MP3.
You shorted the bus! There were eleven long-haired friends of Jesus in that chartreuse microbus. They put ‘em in behind that suicide jockey - he’s haulin’ dynamite and can use all the help he can get.
(Great, now I’m gonna have THAT stuck in my head)
Well, I’ll be. You’re right. The actual lyric is slurred, so, on the recording, it sounds more like seven. On the official CW McCall web site, it’s written as, “An’ eleven long haired friends of Jesus …”
Sounds like you need a _stretch_ micro mini bus attached to your scooter and some _teeny weeny_ Eleven Long Haired Friends of Jesus.
Hmm, could make cornering awkward. Better have the ELHFoJ stick their hands out of the windows to supplement your turn signals.
;-D
My brother-in-law is working on his long, frizzy, thinning hair again after a lit candle accident during a Catholic mass. He could be one of the ELHFoJ. I bet he would even bark if you wanted him to.
“a lit candle accident”…there’s gotta’ be a story behind that one!
A story? Oh, yeah. And it’s a good one.
My sister and her husband (I’ll call him D) were at a mass when everyone was holding candles. As they all turned to process back inside, the girl behind D (who was is friend of theirs) accidentally caught D’s hair on fire. That might not seem so easy, but if you saw D, you would understand. His hair is frizzy, flyaway and thinning. It currently surrounds his head like a dandelion gone to seed. All D could say that day and the next was “My hair smells like smoke.”
Anyway, when my sister realized that D wasn’t going to deal with it, my sister literally dragged D (her words) to the barber shop. D was in shock the whole time and only babbled, so the barber turned to my sister and said, “How long do you want it?”, completely ignoring D. This surprised my sister, but it didn’t surprise me.
When D was in college, his hair was long and thick. He kept it in a pony tail most of the time.
hmm…Theresa’s right that the 650Exec looks pretty comfy for your passenger (i.e., me!)
Granted, it’s no Goldwing, but, it’s $10-11-grand less than the Goldwing!
Oh, great. I’ve created a monster …
