A 500cc Royal Enfield motorcycle and asked if I wanted to ride it (is the Pope catholic?) of course I did. Got my old helmet and dusted it off and it still fit. Cranked up the bike and took it out and around, ended up on I-35, checked the local Bear hide hole and he was off some place having coffee. Twisted the throttle and away I went, when it started to vibrate I checked the speedometer and it said 165 MPH. I backed off and got turned around and twisted the throttle again. It started vibrating at 165 MPH again. When I got back my friend asked how it ran and I told him he had a vibration at 165 MPH and he looked at me and said "I knew you were crazy, but I did not know you were that crazy." Later that night after putting the girls to bed I decided that I had not been crazy but I had been major STUPID. I sold my helmet at our next garage sale and have stayed off motorcycles for about 40 years now.</blockquote>
