I was offered to take it for a test ride, but I still am unable to ride yet....so the saleguy went and got the key so I could hear it.
Ve-r-r-ry nice.
But can you fit a milk crate on the back of it?

Hmmmm.....good point.

Today I was picked up to go to a street market for a walk around and then after we went to the bird sanctuary for some photography. My friend carried the heavy stuff so that I would be able to walk the whole circuit and stay for awhile.
We stayed so long the place was closed by the time we left. The place was deserted.
Since my camera was malfunctioning, he let me use one of his Nikon digital cameras. So nice. I better start saving my loonies.

Yesterday Scott and I rode old US 50 to Sedalia MO. I found a couple of these signs along the way and thought they were kinda cool. Next we went north on US 65 then back to the west on US 24. We swung through Lexington because I wanted to get some shots of the Pioneer Mother. Nearby was this plaque, which reminds us of mans cruelty to his fellow man. We took old 224 east and stopped at the old War Memorial and looked over where the old bridge was. Way east of there is this abandoned service station. 220mi total.

Loonie is the name Canadians gave the gold-coloured, bronze-plated, one-dollar coin shortly after its introduction. It bears images of a common loon, a well-known Canadian bird, on the reverse, and of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.

Why are loonies banned in Newfoundland?

Because the Newfie's keep trying to peel them apart for the chocolate.

Why did this PO both the Federal Government and the Mint?

Coz those damned Newfie were actually finding chocolate inside the Loonies.

Quick question...who's the bigger loon? The Queen or Steven (the smirking chimp) Harper?

Tough question???

I don't think so, The queen is actually very smart and was trained as a mechanic during the war. Harper is just a waste of good air.... and he's an evil looking man...
