He wrecked it a couple of times before he finally admitted that he really wasn't skilled enough to be riding one.Other Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079055348844157557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-16701630418921635632015-03-23T19:56:20.571-04:002015-03-23T19:56:20.571-04:00It's one of my favourites, too, Jeff!It's one of my favourites, too, Jeff!Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-27294004787776803572015-03-22T15:59:43.414-04:002015-03-22T15:59:43.414-04:00Although there are few photos in your piece that t...Although there are few photos in your piece that tickled my fancy, Zoë, my absolutely favorite Triumph image is the one from the Jack Nicholson classic film, "Five Easy Pieces."Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-19794705112969646032015-03-22T12:36:27.169-04:002015-03-22T12:36:27.169-04:00Well, of course, not, Zoë.

I always assume the car waiting to pull out is going to. Saves time that way.<br /><br />And is the last picture at the bottom of the blog really how you picture me, EvKa?<br /><br />Oh ...Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-83848907923994093022015-03-22T01:13:56.300-04:002015-03-22T01:13:56.300-04:00I don't know, if you ask me, I think you were ...I don't know, if you ask me, I think you were incredibly brave to pose for that last picture, Zoë. I mean... 3" heels? Really? Just not believable.<br /><br />And as for insulting someone without their realizing, where's the fun in THAT? :-)<br /><br />I understand your love of bikes, but I'm afraid you'll never find me on one. A close friend of mine, who was a firefighter chief, VERY prepared, VERY aware of risks (in most all walks of life) had a woman pull out RIGHT in front of him. He went over the top of the card, totally smashing one hand, a number of other broken bones, very bad concussion, damn near died. He made it back from the edge, but ohhhh so barely. He told me once that the fire department refers to motorcyclists as "organ donors." Too often, too true. May you enjoy it SAFELY for many many years!<br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.com
