Seeing old friends and making new ones just capped it for me. Oh, Dave, your "all the gear, all the time" comment was not lost on me, I am in the early stages of putting together a proper road riding kit as I was never really comfortable riding "naked", even though it sure was 'cool" temperature-wise. And by the way, an open face trials helmet is not the hot ticket past 50mph.

Perhaps Ropermeister's antics have less to do with motorcycles per se and more to do with his propensity for playing a rather skewed/perverse version of the childrens' game "slip and slide"? At the very, very least, his enthusiasm is child-like infectious!!!!! Warren Zevon wafts lightly in my head, for David continues to, "Get up and do it again"!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990383502677327774.post-69307522121519068542013-07-09T20:57:44.768-04:002013-07-09T20:57:44.768-04:00-regarding your crash on the Moto Guzzi Airone -
...-regarding your crash on the Moto Guzzi Airone - <br />They say a cat has 9 lives but I think that a certain Ropermeister has 29 lives. When it comes to 'let me count the ways', most people would have lost count of your various 'encounters' long ago. <br />I would have liked to have been a birdie on the stone wall watching this particular fiasco unfold. Dodging a pickup, avoiding a stone wall, sliding thru the grass and actually ending up on the road again. All without much of a mishaps. They say time slows down during life threatening events and from your description I can see a slow motion version of an old Sam Peckinpaw movie unwind. I'm glad you and the bike made it thru it all in relatively good shape. Of course, I have a vested interest in that particular Airone not only because I sold it to you but because I have a standing offer to buy it back for 10 cents on the dollar. However, I don't want it back in a crumpled heap, so please try to avoid these dangerous maneuvers in the future.Stu Carternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990383502677327774.post-58218774371466494482013-07-09T19:55:20.704-04:002013-07-09T19:55:20.704-04:00Dave YOU have all the Fun!Sure sounded like a grea...Dave YOU have all the Fun!Sure sounded like a great time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
