I never saw the movie but read the book, great book. IIRC he had a big block Chevy convertible in the book.[/QUOTE

Yep.

This is a very educational place. Kind of like a Sesame Street for the disturbed.

Didn't we get into trouble last time we discussed Sesame Street?

Also, Sesame Street is already kind of deranged...

The ‘01 Gibby ‘bird I bought recently came with a “Genuine” Gibson gig bag that it just fits into. Any idea where one might acquire one of these?

And if you have any of Dave’s brew ready, bring some.

I haven't had any time with all the travel to brew another batch. I bribed @Chucky Stiletti with some when he looked at the MM.

We have lines at times. They encourage you to make appointments. Generally that doesn't work via the website where you are encouraged to do so....... Maybe they fixed it.

Fortunately we can do car renewals by mail for $4 and avoid going in at all. No brainer for me.

That's the way I like to work!

A Vincent Black Shadow or Black Lightning, the latter about which one of my favorite songs of all time was written?

Those had to be about the most beautiful bikes ever made.

I read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail. It was very amusing. But I suspect that all the Fear and Loathing books are more or less the same, so I haven't read any others. The sequence about one of the candidates being on ibogaine was hilarious.

Yeah, that was a good one, ever read the one about the Hell's Angels? I think that's his best and most realistic book.

Everything Hunter Thompson wrote was kinda the same. Funny, but it gets repetitive. I like his essay about the sausage creature, which was inspired by riding a Ducati.

His Hells Angels book is different. Las Vegas is the Classic. I read Campaign Trail in college for a class. I barely remember it. But his Rolling Stone articles were classic. My favorite is the one when he covered Evil Knievel’s Snake River jump.

Yup, he wrote a lot of good stuff and I just mentioned the Hell's Angels book too. I liked the Campaign Trail '72, was a great book, I enjoyed most of his stuff.

No I don't.

I guess it is a choice.

But a misguided one.

The Hells Angel book was derived from his PhD thesis.

Apparently terrifying to ride.

I didn't know that.

I've loved Neil since at least Harvest. Ya gotta love 'ol Neil.
