the 500 was being discontinued.

I told him that would have been mentioned on the forum.

He was an odd fellow who wanted to get his wife an MP3. they were thinking about the 250 I told him they needed the 400. I've never seen a grown man so excited to see an MP3 before. Apparently he spent a lot of time in England and really liked the Fuoco. I'm surprised he didn't pee his pants.

Hum, would be very surprised, I have heard no rumor like that and it would make no sense.

Very doubtfull... my dealer acted like my 400 was one of the first they'd ever sold, that the 250, and 500 were WAY better sellers...

I doubt the 500 will be discontinued for quite some time.

No F@%&ing Way!
No way! The 500 is gonna be NASA's next lunar vehicle when it gets back to the moon! 100% pure BS, I'll say!

Y'all have them Dairy Queens up in Seattle?! That's cool!
I would get a DQ Blizzard to cool off the heatwave.

I think he was really confused because he said he couldn't find the 500 on piaggio.uk

which makes total sense because in the uk it is on gilera's page.
Just another confused Randal at the dairy queen.

And they just call it a chicken strip Basket with toast and gravy. It's a good one.

I was trying to cool off with a mister misty, but apparently they changed the name to arctic chill, and they were out of the ice for them.
and I moved down to the Renton highlands which has one. There is definitely not a dq in Seattle.

Growing up in Yakima I used to walk a mile with my friends to get blizzards. Good stuff!

I spent a few years in Texas and even there if you live over 10 miles from the nearest city limits you probably are more than 10 miles from the nearest Dairy Queen. I'll take living out of town whether it is in Georgia or Texas.

I ask my wife not to buy ice cream because if it is in the fridge I can hear it calling my name and doing so breaking down my will power. If it is still at Walmart 15 miles away I can't hear it. Tonight my problem is others relaying the call through the internet. However the cabernet with dinner was good and I won't drink and drive so my diet is safe for the moment or at least until I am free from the effects of the wine.

It sounds like he wanted to talk about the scoot with miggidy and didn't know how to start, so he made up some B.S. to ensure he would be engaged. A highschool tactic.

In Texas we rate towns by the number of Dairy Queens it has. I can't pass one without getting a dipped cone - medium or large. (I've heard they make a small one but that is only rumor.)

DQ is the measurement of economic success down south
Yeah, heckuva way to pin the rise and fall of a town by the number of DQ's. That's more often practiced down south than you think.

We have five DQ's, in town; and the June unemployment rate is 10.2% (DOL, June/09)

Hey, jerryw

Saw the pics, man, how was the 'Dragon? (Did you buy that avatar photo, or did a friend take it for you? I like it!)

I bought the avatar photo from us129photos.com but I got a similar picture taken by tailofthedragon.com that they used on their site free. One of the forum members dropped them a note that I rode from Texas to get there and they sent him the pic free. When I was riding the Dragon I saw someone take my pic and wondered who was doing it and then spotted a banner advertising 129photos.
