What's it called a Crossfire?" Forgot about the bike and got the Crossfire. So fast forward about 5 and a half years and I'm starting to get the urge for a hot rod so I start talking bike again and sure enough, "I don't want to see you on a bike, your 60 years old when are you going to grow up?" etc etc etc. Well I have wanted a Cobra since I was 14 years old....... most of you know the rest of the story. It works for me
By the way Roasted Chestnuts is a good analogy........ I also wouldn't want to be sitting there if that blower blew up. Can you say Shrapnel!
