    Hi Sabini,
    It really was a test post.

    I was having problems uploading the bike pic to another site and I wanted to know if the problem was me, the pic or the other site.

    I honestly wasn't trying to suck anyone in. Anyway, you were warned in the thread title...

    Hi Traci and Sabini,

    Thanks for the comments about my old Royal Enfield. I sold it to a Brit about 15 years ago and he took it back to the UK. You might spot it on the street one day, Sabini.

    Hi Trine,

    Obama was barely 15 years old when I built the bike. Didn't have much influence since I'd never heard of him.

    The bike did pretty well with fuel consumption. You can't see it in the pic but it has a SU carb (from an Austin Healey Sprite) mounted on a hand-built manifold.

    It didn't need much fuel. With 1947 era Harley springer front suspension and no suspension in the rear, you wouldn't want to take any trips across America on it.

    Best,

    Hi Trine,

    I've never had implants, but my forms did tend to jiggle and bounce a bit in my t-shirt, much to the loud approval of bystanders

    Hi Trine,

    Let me see if I've got this right.

    The TG community consists of "Gender Benders" who constantly switch back and forth between genders and "Transsexuals" who have implants.

    Not the TG world I've lived in for half a century plus...

    Hi Trine,

    Actually, no I don't know what you mean.

    I quit the coffee habit when I retired from the corporate culture a decade ago. As for sugar, don't use it either, too fat already...

    Sometimes the threads take a turn for the surreal. Sometimes that is a bad thing. Sometimes it is a good thing.
    So far this ones a good thing.
    Viva surreal...
