This blog is a place for me to post random pictures, some interesting, some not so much, interesting developments in technology & food, or just some of my mindless cathartic ramblings. You will probably not find anything of real interest here, but I appreciate you stopping by once in a while to check it out and determine that for yourself. Below is a lousy tag cloud for the blog. And below that there is a new feature “What’s On Your Mind” where you can ask questions. Try it out you just might like it, Mikey does.

Richard Thompson)<br/></strong></p> <p>Said Red Molly to James that’s a fine motorbike<br/> A girl could feel special on any such like<br/> Said James to Red Molly, well my hat’s off to you<br/> It’s a BSA Red Lightning, 1969<br/> And I’ve seen you at the corners and cafes it seems<br/> Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme<br/> And he pulled her on behind<br/> And down to Box Hill they did ride</p> <p>Said James to Red Molly, here’s a ring for your right hand<br/> But I’ll tell you in earnest I’m a dangerous man<br/> I’ve fought with the law since I was seventeen<br/> I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine<br/> Now I’m 21 years, I might make 22<br/> And I don’t mind dying, but for the love of you<br/> And if fate should break my stride<br/> Then I’ll give you my BSA to ride</p> <p>Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae<br/> For they’ve taken young James Adie for armed robbery<br/> Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside<br/> Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside<br/> When she came to the hospital, there wasn’t much left<br/> He was running out of road, he was running out of breath<br/> But he smiled to see her cry<br/> And said I’ll give you my BSA to ride</p> <p>Says James, in my opinion, there’s nothing in this world<br/> Beats a 69 BSA and a red headed girl<br/> Now Nortons and Indians and Harley’s won’t do<br/> They don’t have a soul like a BSA 69<br/> He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys<br/> He said I’ve got no further use for these<br/> I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome<br/> Swooping down from heaven to carry me home<br/> And he gave her one last kiss and died<br/> And he gave her his BSA to ride</p> <p>(credits to Richard Thompson and 1952 Vincent Black

13 hp, it is 1 of 8 made, race engine for minimoto Italian championship, frame is fully machined from billet parts and it is worth far more than I paid for it.  In essence it is the best piece of art I have ever purchased, lucky me.</p>http://www.ramblingsandjunk.com/post/12329859845http://www.ramblingsandjunk.com/post/12329859845Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:51:00 -0700<img
