Doodle if nothing else it will make you love that 955 even more. Did you get the Dream or hawk verision? And for the drinking and ebaying they have support groups for that. Tba i wouldnt let a friend mix JD with anything perfectly good waste of coke if you want the charcol flavor Kingsford 10 lb bag is cheaper.

Doodle-
1-Good luck on your ride home, and do you have a trailer?
2-Change to a good bourbon or scotch, that sour mash stuff will kill you
3-Before you buy any type of transportation, take a moment, call a friend, then decide.

You're right, it should be diet coke. That's what made me enjoy the Vikings win so much more today. |

I was doing just that the other week. Hmm ,,, those Tecnics full leathers look good. I just can't let them go for just $60!!
At $61 I am now the proud owner of yet another set of leathers!!
Ride it home but take a trailer with the car.. oh and some ropes..
Either that ,, insure it and ride it over a cliff on the way home if it is no good, without you on the seat!!

You bought a motorbike from Newcastle, sight unseen... They saw you coming, you soft southerner!
Having said that, those CB's seem to be pretty indestructible... you might get away with it, this time.... here's hoping!
