Re: Crip question



Dean,
Please don't kick the bike before the wound heals, and after you get
some new boots. (or... put your old boots on to kick the engine
over). Don't kick the engine over with street shoes on. If
everything works okay, it will be okay. But... one small mistake, and
you will really regret it.

Take care of that foot, and let it heal.

I would really like to ride with your sorry ***. Am I going to have
to drive up there and pick you and your bike up and bring you down
for a visit?

Jim
I'll start your bike for you.
