They said, "It's called a 'chechia' because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun."



"And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?" asked the young man.



"It's a 'djbellah' because in the desert it is very hot and it protects the body" they said.



The Son asked, "And what about those ugly shoes on your feet?



His Parents replied, "These are 'babouches,' which keep us from burning our feet in the desert."



"Tell me," added the boy.



"Yes, my Son?"

About an hour into the ride, approaching a stoplight, I downshifted to 4th, OK, then pressed the shifter to downshift to 3rd and it was like there was nothing there.:confused: Still in 4th, I tried again and it went into 3rd normally. A couple of stoplights later, the same thing.

The trans shifts up normally in all gears, finds neutral with no problem. Rode yesterday, no problem. This morning, again nothing where 3rd should be at one light and then everything normal the rest of the trip.

A DAMN FINE EXPLANATION

The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman.

And she was somewhat upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce right away!'

And the husband replied, 'Hang on just a minute love so at least I can tell you what happened.' 'Fine, go ahead,' she sobbed,' but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!'

And the husband began -- 'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car... I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty... She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days... So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight... The poor thing devoured them in moments... Since she needed a good clean-up, I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them away...

Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't wear because you say they are too tight...

I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't wear because I don't have good taste...

I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't wear just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don't wear because someone at work has a pair the same.'

The husband took a quick breath and continued - 'She was so grateful for my understanding and help that as I walked her to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said, 'Please, Do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?' ]]> Harley Jokes GliderDude http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-jokes/12941-damn-fine-explanation.html http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-jokes/12940-depressed.html Tue, 14 Aug 2012 00:12:51 GMT A young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her > life by throwing herself into the ocean. > > But just before she could...]]> > A young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her

The oil leaks out and runs down dripping off in the area of the primary oil drain plug. I thought the plug was leaking & reolaced the o-ring. I jacked bike up & could see oil trail coming from out put shaft of inner primary case. Went to Gary Bang Harley, Gary thought it would be 2 hour repair. But on the 09 Softail the oil tank needs to be removed to access the starter removal and the inner primary bolts from the right side. The mechanic already had the outer primary case off & chain. Showed me he just could not get at the inner case bolts. Told them to close her up, repair cost was going to be way over the budget. I appreciate there honest opinion in not making a weeping seal a immediate failure you need to fix right now & try to get more money for the repair. I know another dealer that would have. My HD manual says to remove the oil tank, so it came as no surprise. But I was hoping there was a work around. I will keep an eye my little leaker, one or two drops after a ride. Only 18313 miles on the bike.

'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor.

'Not a chance', she said... 'He won't even take an aspirin.'

'Not a problem,' replied the doctor. 'Give him an 'Irish Viagra'.

'What is Irish Viagra?', she asked.

�It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went�'

It was a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress.

The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor!'

'Really? What happened?' asked the doctor.

'Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arms, he sent me cups and saucers flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! T'was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!'

'Why so terrible?' asked the doctor, 'Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn't good?'

'Freakin' Jaysus, it was the best sex I've had in 25 years!

The Motorcycle Cannonball 2012 will be starting in Newburgh, NY in less than 4 weeks and a number of people have asked when is the best time to be there for the start.

As I understand it the start will be from Motorcyclopedia museum around 9 am on Friday, September 7. That means the riders and bikes will be in Newburgh nervous to get rolling. It will make a gretat photo op but be aware we will be gone by 9:20.

If you are curious to see the bikes and riders and take photos, I'd recommend getting to Newburgh Thursday or even Wednesday before to see all the action.

Of course, we will be riding nearly 4,000 miles so there are plenty of other places to see us go by all along the route. See Motorcycle Cannonball Coast To Coast Antique Motorcycle Run for more details. ]]> Buzz Kanter http://www.aimag.com/forums/motorcycle-events-travel/12934-motorcycle-cannonball-start-details-opportunities.html http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-custom/12933-i-been-collecting.html Sun, 12 Aug 2012 02:24:46 GMT and today, I stuck a few parts together...
