Somebody tried using an ultralight to fly drugs across the border about two years ago but he wound up destroying it in a field of cabbages around El Centro as I recall... Those flying lawn chairs won't take much abuse...

You do SERIOUS time for that stuff. I was towing a U-Haul on I25 from Hot Springs, NM (it used to be called "Truth or Consequences) to Albuquerque when I had to stop for a DEA narcotics check. They had a Pinto pulled over and there were 25 paper wrapped parcels of marijuana scattered around the vehicle. However, the cops weren't the least bit interested in my U-Haul trailer, I could have had 1000 kilos of weed in it for all they knew. But I also had a white cat named Pixie sitting on my shoulder as I drove. That probably through them off my scent...

Idiot, if I actually bored you then you wouldn't even bother reading my posts, much less would you take the time to answer every single one with an attempted put-down. You'd simply ignore me; QED. Thus, this is just another of the endless lies you tell in search of self-respect; never learning that lying isn't ever going to earn you any. And speaking of lies, Googling roads you've never seen and then trying to appear as if you know what you're talking about isn't fooling anyone.

You'd simply ignore me; QED. But your poison permeates at least two NG's that I frequent and it's impossible to ignore the stench...

They're just amazingly uninspiring pix, but then I suppose you only get one chance before the rider's gone, unlike a track day when you know he'll be coming round the mountain again. Unless he bins it. And like I said, someone who desperately wants a pic of 'me on my bike' isn't going to be discerning. > > In that corner, the bikes aren't going all that fast, maybe 40 to 45 mph. > It's not hard to freeze spokes at those speeds. Itr's not hard to freeze spokes at any speed if you use a fast enough shutter speed. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
