IT'S NOT THE YEARS - IT'S THE MILEAGE!
WEDNESDAY! - HUMPDAY! You all know what that means - we're over the hump and we get to....(can't say it because we need to keep our "PG" rating!). Hey everybody, it's the middle of the week and its only two days until Labor Day weekend! Okay, we don't really understand why on Labor Day everybody stays home, but we stay home most days so it's all good, right? Besides, that means that the bars will not only be packed with folks on Friday and Saturday night, but Sunday also! More opportunity for us to meet strippers down on their luck and get good deals on a "squeezer" or two.
In the meantime there are issues in our lives! BIG ISSUES! They involve one of our motorcycles and that's SERIOUS business. As you probably know, we live in trailer park, we drive a 1986 Ford Taurus and we get our meds at the Palm Springs Free Clinic. The reason for living that frugal lifestyle is so that we can drink plenty of beer and have plenty of motorcycles to ride when we sober up. It turns out that after sitting for three months during the 2008 Riding4Beer World Tour Stacy's bike wouldn't fire up! Okay, it is a Honda, but even Jap (sorry, "Asian import") bikes are supposed to start and idle, right? WRONG!
So here's the deal - Carburetor GUNK! It seems that the "brilliant" folks at Honda (they're in Japan, so they are Japanese!) designed the carb with the float bowl (technical talk - sexy huh?) so that it catches all the crap that Arco doesn't filter out of their cheap-ass gas. Oh yeah, and sitting in 120+ degree weather for three months tends to make it evaporate and turn into goo like peanut butter (only it doesn't taste as good - Kevin checked). Anyway, after an afternoon of cussing and swearing and getting hot and dirty and greasy, it still doesn't run. But isn't all of that, coupled with the fact that it's HumpDay, mean that we not only can go out drinking tonight, we get extra beer...
Admit it - IT'S MADE IN JAPAN! Who needs a socket set? One wrench fits 'em all!
If only Kevin could read above a 3rd grade level... The carburetor goo doesn't taste like peanut butter!

I don't know much about motorcycles but I know my motorized chair was made in America, by God! - and it doesn't get gunk in its carburator. Why don't you use a U.S.A. product? Like a Ford or Dodge motorcyle? Or ask the Arco attendant where the motorcycle gas pump is. I am sure they have the right fuel for your 'foreign' cycle. Use your head.

The lunacy never ends with you guys so we are not surprised at anything you guys do. And we all know that Kevin will put his mouth anyplace so the only logical question is, Where is the JELLY!!

That's why us Americans own Harley's! Honda really means - Hung Over Never Drinking Again - and then it just shuts down. That's why you own a Harley cuz you you keep drinking and drinking and drinking and drinking. Budweiser of course. Gotta hop on the Bud train here....
