Dale,
That red-inked "Cherry Picker's Heaven" comment was backed up by Go Daddy
hisself, but even if the bike was set up and ready for a monkey to bust the
record, all it takes is one more knot of wind to close the course, or one
little bump in the wrong place to ruin a whole day. And, as proven so many
times before, the big bad corporate wolves waving checkbooks don't always
blow the records from the tightly clasped hands of the little guys.
It was the comment from "Hackasaw" about "kids regularly bustin' 160" that
showed ignorance of what it takes to earn a record. Anyone can draw a
killer poker hand once in a while - but the odds zilch against drawing two
royal flushes in a row. Sure, I could hop on my son's 'Busa and hit a buck
sixty and let off the throttle.... But would I (or any number of us) want to
hang on to a two wheeled wobble-rocket for a whole mile on damp salt, twice?
Hmmm.... not me.
I especially liked the comment "It must be a truly heavy burden, being the
official corrector for the whole of a mistaken mankind.." might even try that
one out on a certain 'throw you under the bus" coworker....
