I think he likes the Can-Am because it looks shiny and nifty, though his justification is that he's had a few too many knocks to take putting a bike down. <br /><br />On the other hand, he does get an awfully enthusiastic gleam in his eyes when mentioning Urals and their sidecars. I think I know which one of us is "supposed" to ride in the sidecar, and which one drives. <br /><br />For people without broken backs... Well, one of my old housemates likes 'em because they look cool, but mainly "just because." Which, for a red-blooded American male, is damn fine reason right there.On a Wing and a Whimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754595334684845895noreply@blogger.com
