back from lala land

Maui, I hope that Dirty Pete has not worn out our welcome. The mods you are offering will be considered after we pry pete out of the local tiki lounge. If you can't find him look for the trail of Beam nippers he leaves behind so he can find his way back.

Hope Dirty Pete didn't trash your house while you were gone.

He is now down at the beach selling Jim Beam Tiki Lights to tourists.
(the man is a Marketing Genius).

You call that a "house?" A grass hut on the beach with no electricity and shrunken lizard skulls hanging everywhere is not my idea of a "house."

The toilet is an upside down 671 blower body, the guy's best Sunday-go-to-meetin' suit is a mildewed old Nomex with a ripped trap door that doubles as his bed, and he left his poor skinny pet Vietnamese pot-bellied pig tied to a rusty, leaky barrel of avgas with nothing to eat but the straw padding from a drilled out bucket seat with "KISS MY *** " embroidered you know where.

To the owner of this distinguished residence I have entrusted my beloved Busa for conversion to desert duty?

I fear for my safety in Dakar.

NOTE: The Jim Beam lamps are not selling well as there was a small explosion when my very first customer, a retired pimp from Butte, tried to light his up with the coals from his roach. I guess I missed a couple of ounces in that particular lamp.

Back home again, It's always nice to return to Maui. I got to meet Ducmanic, and Cisco. Two good guys.

When I was looking for Duc, I tried to call him from Van Nuys, where I had just seen (two) nice black/grey models. Well, you know you're in southern California when you try to make a long distance call (5 miles is another area code usually) and the automated voice on a pay phone say's " That is SO not the right number, like try again, Kay."

So I drove down to Hollywood. I gave the Duc a call and told him where I was. He told me not to move, I was right in the most GAY part of Hollywood. Looking around, I concluded that the Duc was right, as I couldn't tell the gender of an aproaching…..uh…..someone…..thing…….well, you know. After a few minutes, I heard a busa come down the street. Somehow Ducmanic has developed a technique were he can slow down to turn into a parking lot and do a first gear burn out at the same time. I laughed out loud. This also rid the area of the identity-challenged people asking for the time……time to leave.

Following Duc, we had gone a short distance when he ran over a chain snake. I parked in my lane of traffic as soon as I saw him drop the chain so that we could survey for the broken link. We gave up quickly, picked up the chain and checked it out. Radial cracks coming from the inner roller, through the side plates. The inner roller had a very visible oval shape. Bummer. He took me out to lunch at one of the local establishments. He's a good guy. Thanks for lunch Duc!

Cisco picked me up near where I was staying in San Jose. I got a first class tour of a bunch of local shops. You definitely want him on your side if you're ever in a bar fight (although I don't think it would even get to that, He seems very cool headed). Every where we went, people would wave and yell out to Cisco, I think he has reserved parking at every bike shop in San Jose. He's got some beautiful Harleys too. Very easy guy to hang out with. Cisco, say Hi to your family for me. Sorry I didn't have more time on that part of my trip. See you next time. Thanks for the shirt Cisco!

OK my fingers are sore now.

You actually stayed in the hut? That's just a cover to the real entrance, I have too keep it that way, what with all the Canadian tourist around. You were supposed to read ALL the instructions I left for you. Don't worry, I will install all the safety features you requested.

I consulted with Mickey Mouse @ Disneyland re your busa. He said to install a custom set of ears on your helmet, The hydraulic system ties in with your cerebral cortex for activation. They work as flaps in the high-speed turns, and air brakes, when your tires are not in contact with the earth.

M. Mouse has agreed to perform the brain surgery to tie the system in.

Snow White will also be there, she's heard of you and is looking forward to ditching the 8 little dwarves (there is a new one, called skipper).

I didn't get to ride Duc's bike. Even if I had, surface streets in Hollywood are not exactly a good place to ring one out. He said he was going to let me, and that you had recommended such. Thanks for the thought.
