    Wish I was an owner of the F4 CC! That bike is beautiful in person, absolutely a work of art. My favorite MV is the Tamburini though. Here's mine:

    nyarlotep is my unintentional misspelling of Nyarlathotep, a creature from HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos stories, pulp horror/thrillers from the 20s and 30s. I use Shoggoth sometimes, another creature from his stories, but that and Nyarlathotep are usually already in use on most boards/sites so I've come to rely on nyarlotep since it's always available.

    A few years ago myself and a neighbor used to go horseback riding in the desert. One day while riding my wifes horse, he stumbled across a small wash (a dry river here in Az). It was maybe 2 ft across and 8-10" deep, he went down on his front knees so I let him have his head and he got up. No big deal, he was fine. I started laughing and told him he needed to watch where he put his feet and to pay attention to where we are going. Trust me horses are great to talk to and listen very well.
    About a hundred yards or so further down the trail I heard a dirt bike behind us so I stood up in the stirrups and looked behind us to see if it was coming our way. Well just then I heard a whack and felt this sharp pain in my leg I fell back in the saddle and looked at my leg. This big piece of cholla cactus was sticking out of my leg. My wifes horse looked at me like "you need to watch where you put your feet and to pay attention to where we are going".
    My neighbor started laughing and said "way to go Cactus Bob". So I use it online.
    That will teach me to laugh at a horse.

    for those that dont know what a cholla is. Look at the second picture. http://www.desertusa.com/mag99/may/papr/chollas.html

    I would love to explain my SRP user name, but it's such a profound revelation...
    I think it's too intense for the average member, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for any shaving accidents...

    Perhapse when you are older and wiser, then we can discuss it, as well as the meaning of life... 47

    But until then you will simply have to suffice with your own vague and probably incorrect speculations...

    I have had several horses, and this rings so true. I laughed so hard when I read this because one of my quarter horses, Diamond, used to give me that same look all the time. Im sure he knew he was much smarter than I was.

    That was the call sign for Scott "Zulu" O'Grady. He was an F-16 fighter pilot who was shot down in Bosnia trying to help rescue others. His story is a example of what God does on a daily basis.

    I really admired the guy, so I stole his callsign.
