Found this on a machinists' forum I frequent. -js
-------------------------------------------------------
Broken Down on a Snowy Winter's Eve (with apologies to Robert Frost)
Whose bike this is I think I know.
But he's is drunk and sleeping, so;
He will not see me stopping here
To siphon off some gas to go.
My shovelhead is prone, I fear
To stop without a gas pump near
Between the wood and frozen lake
So far from home without a beer.
It shuts down hard and gives a shake
As if to rub in my mistake.
The only other sound's the weep
Of fluid dripping from my brake.
My pocket's empty, dark, and deep,
But I have gas enough to keep
Me rolling miles before I sleep,
So many miles before I sleep.

I shall forward this to my neighbor who gave up his Ducati Monster to get a Fat Boy.

When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. -Robert M. Pirsig, author and philosopher (6 Sep 1928-2017)
