    yabbut,,you can only ride one at a time! WTF!

    reminds me,,I already told this one many years ago, and only barely remember it now,,

    I'm in the grocery checkout, having already been there that same day, and at the same checkout,,first time on a yella bike I loved, and then later in the day, on the gawky green bike with the milk crate on the back.
    At that peeticular store, I can park the bike(s) right up close in plain view,,,,
    So,, the checkout gal says,,"Weren't you on a different bike earlier today."
    why yes,, I was, that was my big bike, and now I'm on my smaller bike.
    Checkout gal says,"how many bikes do you have?"
    3 that run and are legal, and another project I'm working on.
    "Cool, that's nice,,I have a,,,,,,[cut-off mid thought],,

    theme from Dragnet!

    Older frumpy, unhappy, overweight, impatient GrandMa next in line after me,(and pissed off cuz me and the young girl are communicating,after all, I'm 64 and she's 20 sumpthin, and I should know my place when talking to young girls 1/3 my age,,blah, blah,, turns out the clerkgirl is a dirt rider! we chat along about,,hey, do you ever go up and ride shotgun,,blah,blah,,we're smiling, and hittin it off with mud flying off our rear tires),,about this time she (greyMah) throws in her other 2 cents and says,,"Well,(hands on hips) that's just silly!,,You can only ride one at a time!"
    To which I replied,,while looking at the checkout gal,,":Yeah,, I know,, that's just the SHITS ain't it!!!",,,:lol3
    I felt bad for a second, leaving the checkout gal with that old white sour prune, but she had a grin on her face when I grabbed my vittles and headed for the door.
    a monkey says 'what?'
    If yer inna grocery store, and the checkout gal is wearing muddy Alpine stars,,talk her up!,,she's a rider!

    and... It already comes with a picture of it parked along the side of the road!

    Might be smart to get some bags for it - big enough to carry a 100' extention cord and a good pair of comfortable walking shoes.

    I think the fender light would be a face wearing a warbonnet if it was a 47; so it's probably older. The owner is clueless if he can't read the year code on the side of the crankcase.

    What's wrong with a Ural? I know someone that rides one. He's not quite right in the head(hanksmybuddy) but that's a different story!

    This discussion reminded me of the current telebishun commercial with the soft couple in the diner, her talking about the son's rowdy biking antics.

    I would take that to mean it's legal to plate but he's never done it?

    Depends on what your going to use it for. That one has a four speed trans. If it was really cherry then the price is ok. That would be fun with a paddle tire and a flag in the dunes. I agree that if the seller can't write a decent ad then I probably don't want to deal with them.

    It could mean a whole big can o worms. That bike has no lights for starters. Only way to tell is to know what your looking for and contact the owner or it see first hand.
