BRAVO Five Two
« on: June 03, 2017, 07:48:37 PM »
These two young fellas live right down the old King's Highway...
Bison 52 is surely worthy of a pic !


And of course he's got company...

Already forgot how to load the pics on my pc into the txt field... whew !

Cool place you ride Red. I am a big admirer of the Buffalo. Strong, fast, hearty beyond belief, with unbelievable endurance. If only they were bullet proof we would have a lot more of them. Love the Helix.

Of course the Helix has been fun for me...  First scooter I ever got to run, much, and second one I purchased.  (My People 250 was 1st.)
I hopped on it this morning and went for a 40 mile jaunt...  The 'newness' and all around fun part is fading somewhat, and I'm beginning to learn what it is, and what it isn't, now.
It will cruise happily at 45mph - 60mph, and there is more in there, but it's not roaring to come out !  lol
I am happy at 45 - 55 for what I normally do.
The oil was changed 3 or 4 days ago so I was happier when running in traffic on the freeway.
Triumphed over the biggest hill in this part of the state at 57mph twice today, so it's a good day !
The trip was a success. I got a Riva CA50K and an NX50M SR and sent a truck after them this evening.
I must fabricate some sort of trailer capable of towing one scooter with another. It would save much expense !

Bye-the-bye...  give a small google exercise a try for one of those trivia tidbits...  Bison vs Buffalo   :-)

...If I recall, I shall stop by to visit B52 from time to time and gather some hair scraps from the barbed wire enclosure.
It might be interesting for tying some sort of fly...  could help me catch the Big one !

I know Red, I was using buffalo in the colloquial sense.  ;)  Bison are amazing though.  I wonder, how many horsepower does a bison have?

How can you tell the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.

Sorry.

It's kinda like the misnomer of antelope in North America.

Aargh !
Now I gotta study up on antelope !  lol

Once upon a time I had an antelope skin...  it had really odd hair...  maybe to an inch and a half, but kinda thick, and hollow-like.
And they really did fall out of the hide a lot !
Kinda took the fun out of it.

And the one I really kick myself over...  a friend got a whole polar bear skin from the estate of wife's father..  Really wish I would have cut just a small swatch from a straggling edge of it...  The hairs are strange translucent bluish white...  Great for tying flies!
