Alright, it's riding season in the northern hemisphere.  Let's do a group hug and get back to helping eachother out.  This forum is too important to shit all over.  As you were...

It's getting too hot to ride, going to have to spend more time bitching online.

ICEBURG !
Correct me if I'm wrong, (jeez did I say that ?) but in THE movie wasn't the line "ICEBURG DEAD AHEAD !", "HARD A STARBOARD!" Now if the damage was on the right side of the ship, hasn't he effectively turned INTO the 'burg. Why not "hard to port". Which part haven't I grasped ? Pr did I mis quote the script?

On the distaff side of the Equator, maybe it's not just the toilets that go the other way  :evil:

However, if you are referring to the most famous of the films, there's no mention of that goof at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051994/trivia?tab=gf&ref_=tt_trv_gf

Yeah but anyway if that's what the script said the damage was on the right I wonder where I' e gone wrong but I guess the real answer is "who cares" or " dunno, watch the movie AGAIN  and find out"

Dear Abby: 

I dropped the electric can opener under the table and forgot about it.  Meanwhile the Rhumba found it and fell in love.  Their offspring got into the pantry and opened all the cans.  Now it won't come out.  It just keeps banging into sacks of lentils and slipping on tomato sauce.  The noise all night is driving me nuts.  I don't think it's my place to have to coax this psychopathic auto-rager out of the closet; it's a family matter.   How do I get the parents of the little mutant to control their child?

Dear Abby:

I was committed to researching the satisfaction quotient of riding a fast bike slow v a slow bike fast.  My wife now says the only way I can stop her from doing alternative research is to beat her out the door with two or more of the bikes.  Would heating the garage improve the parasitic drain?

Cam,

Unsettled Gulf Coast TEXAS weather pattern looks calm enough today for a Guzzi ride.  Likely will happen.  Calm, overcast, cool and fog right now.  Have to finish breakfast, walk poodles, and deal with Alzheimer's patient first.  Probably should check the oil.  Little goose wants its check up, but it is running great.  Cant go too far due to unpredictability of aforementioned Alz responsibilities. 

All work and no play makes for a very dull boy....

Yeah I would look cool on a new Roamer...
