Holiday Greetings
I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends et al, but it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer last month, and on his advice I wish to say the following:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that the USA is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
Happy and safe Holidays,
Monte [smiley=beer.gif]

And I'd like to add the immortal words uttered by Gabby Johnson from "Blazing Saddles", who said, "Rowrr!"
(I think it means, "Merry Christmas"!) ::)

Hey, Sue. Happy Holidays back at ya!
Noticed you've named your Triumph "Winston".
Interestingly enough, I'm considering calling my British Racing Green Trophy, Neville. Whatcha think? Old college classmate of mine had a Siamese cat with the same handle... cat lived, like, forever.

Monte..I started with the idea of Neville too but then my riding buddy said he was a wimp as Chamberlain believed Hitler and declared Peace in Our Time... ::) :-[ Choose a hero he said. Nelson or Wolfe would be good too! Or how about Graham Hill!! Or Sterling Moss..it's green isn't it???!! And it wins Trophies right?
But, Neville is a very British name! You could call him Thomas after Thomas Tank Train! T-cubed? He's a hero! Sorta a tank too in relation to the R65! ;D

Hey Monte, how about naming your bike after WWII British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, commonly referred to as 'Monty' . ::)

I got my Christmas ride in already, the commute to work, 55F/13C at 0520 .

All the legalese aside, why would you even give your bike a name? It's kind of like having a dog with no legs or even a cat, it won't come when you call. However if you insist on a moniker for your turnip, then definitely go with something heroic, like Spitfire or even Merlin (as in the airplane motor, not the magician).

So soon after it's gone do you forget your so named, "Ghost Bike". ;D
