OK, sorry I can't resist.............
So why do we "drive" on the "parkway" and "park" on the "driveway"
(yeah, I know it's an old one)
I'm MAD I tell you, completely mad. When the good weather gets here, and
stays, I will put another 12k miles on my ST in five months, just like last
year.............I have spent all my money on the stuff you guys keep
recomending........I am now officially insane........Let's go riding really
fast on some seriously twistie roads...care to join?
Ah-ha-ha-ha-haha !!!!!!!!!!!!
