Saturday we had some decent weather so I decided that
it was time to take my Eldo for what might be a last
ride for the season. At one point during the ride, I
came to a stop and at the corner were 5 RUBs (plus
passengers, RUBettes?) with their H-Ds, all gathered
around one that had puked, it was quite a crowd. That
one machine was puffing some smoke and I could hear:
errrr, errrr, errrr - I knew I wouldn't be much help
to them, so I just waved and as I rounded the corner I
opened the throttle all the way - to the most
wonderful induction sucking sound there is joined by
some mellow exhaust notes - I can only imagine them
wondering: what the heck kind of a bike was that?
Probably thought it was some old Harley. ...did give
me a chuckle!
If I had helped them, I probably would have
inadvertently set one of them on fire or at least
ruined an electronic ignition.
Waiting for the snow...and salt,
Tom
