    the socket.

    strips.

    want to unbalance themselves while standing on the tank.

    There's a couple funny ones in there.

    3. You're not riding the "right kind" of BMW.

    Had a little chuckle at that one, my friend has an old un-restored (but VERY nice) '73 R90. We were standing in line at a Wendy's, and a guy riding a BMW K bike came in, and so we told him nice bike, and my friend proceeded to tell him about his '73 R90. The guy just said "huh". And that was that. Whatever... :roll:

    Hmmm, I always thought the Harley guys didn't wave back because they couldn't see through the dark sunglasses, that and they don't want their buddies calling them sissies.
