Skullman91 I see you live in Mass, how far from where this happened to your house was it? Technically by law after you have gone for a mile or more and the cops never saw you they cannot fine you or sight you for anything being they would have no proof. That would never hold up in court, hopefully your friend did not pay the ticket and at least tried to fight it.

I think it is cool that your friend had a '99 TL1000 back in 1988.

Being an extra on "Back to the Future" does have its benefits. Skullman, are you sure this happened in 1988?

Hey Skull, I thought you were a decade off, heh heh! Too bad the dude crashed his nice brand new TL. As to the John Cleese question, he is also known as Monty Python.

Actually, Monty Python is the name of the famous British comedy troop he belongs to. If you have never seen anything by them, I would insist you rent one of their classics. My favorite being "Life of Brian". Others include "The Holy Grail", and "The Meaning of Life". There are also several sketch comedy compilations as well.

I stand corrected, Trapper. I've got "The Holy Grail," but I would like to watch the others. My Brit comedies of choice are "The Young Ones" and "Red Dwarf."

As to the topic, I haven't been nailed for the stupidity of others. However, because of the warm weather, more riders are out and about. This, I believe, causes misidentification issues among witnesses due to the inability to tell different bikes apart. For example, before I got my M50, I thought all cruisers are all the same. I was more knowledgeable of the differences between sport bikes. One thing for sure, If I'm going to get nailed for something, it's because I made the wrong choice.

I like Life of Brian too, quite funny.
The other films are ok too, but I didn't really enjoy the sketch show they done, some was funny but lots was crap!

Pretty true for most weekly sketch comedies. SNL even in it's hayday had some lame stuff.

He's standing beside Pink Floyd, Lynard Skynard and Jethro Tull. Me and Jethro go way back... we went to different schools together.

Never seen Monty Python?

That was required viewing when I was in college!

I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little *bunny*, isn't it?

ARTHUR:
I am your king!

WOMAN:
Well, I didn't vote for you.

ARTHUR:
You don't vote for kings.

WOMAN:
Well, how did you become King, then?

ARTHUR:
The Lady of the Lake,...
[angels sing]
...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!

DENNIS:
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

ARTHUR:
Be quiet!

DENNIS:
Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

ARTHUR:
Shut up!

DENNIS:
I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

ARTHUR:
Shut up, will you? Shut up!

DENNIS:
Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

ARTHUR:
Shut up!

DENNIS:
Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

ARTHUR:
Bloody peasant!

DENNIS:
Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
