I don't remember David's scooter chronicles but I do remember his post of riding in the rain, narrowly escaping disaster and at one point reaching 95 miles an hour. At the time, I had seen the 600cc Honda Silver Wing Scooter and really wanted one but knew my precious wife would frown on such an acquisition so I only thought about it. Later I saw the Suzuki 650cc Bergman scooter (which is actually what David had) and wanted one of these even more than I wanted the Honda. Didn't get one of these for the same reason. When David was singing the no job or money woes I asked him why he didn't ride the scooter to save gasoline and his reply was that it needed a battery. I have asked David if the mini van he was referring to in his recent posts was the economical Honda Fit which he purchased new several years ago but haven't received an answer. DAVID, ARE YOU BACK? Give us a report.

Locklear chronicled the whole awful trip in mind-breaking detail. Oddest thing - it was the same weekend that Crash held the 'annual guano gathering' which I attended - starting in the Dallas area, making a stop in Houston then toward San Antonio. I figured I crossed David's path twice - maybe three times. He made absolutely no attempt to make it to Bracken Bat Cave although he probably was less than 20 miles away on his way back to Houston. -WaV On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 11:31 AM, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I don't get it, either!
