what amazes me is that you are obviously so young at heart and full of
life! Polly Esther wrote: Oh my yes, our youngest daughter has five grandchildren. And I don't tell my age. If I did, they'd make me get a walker with bumper padding; might even think I should give up skydiving and my Harley. Polly "DrQuilter" wrote in message ... wait.. how old are you again Polly?????

don't talk to me about harleys. I have no problems with them in general,
except that one of my new neighbours bought one after his wife left him and revs the engine in the driveway by our house that leads to a cul de sac with 4 houses. looks like another neighbour complained about him, and I heard he lost his job as a city house inspector over this. looks like now he revs the engine on purpose in said driveway everytime he goes in and out (eveninigs and weekends, ergo when we are here) to annoy the other guy but in the process freaks the heck out of Sofi, who is not easily scared except by loud noises like the vacuum or the lawn mower...

I was 35 when I had sofi. so my mom was a grandma at 60... Dee in Oz wrote: Well I think you must only be about 65 Polly... Mum at 20 grandma at 40 g grandma at 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 so your not really 'old' yet ( sound fair to me anyway) Dee in Oz -- Dr. Quilter http://community.webshots.com/user/mvignali (take the dog out for a walk) |

My maternal Gradma was old at 35 (her age when I was born). My Mother
was young at 68 when she passed away. I sure don't feel 62, maybe 42 but not 62.

QOS, Among the various motorcycles in my yard, there is an older (1981, I
think) Harley that sits right outside the back door. When my other half wants to ride it, he does tend to rev it a bit, apparently so that the engine doesn't stall while it warms up. It always seems like it takes a longer time than it really does, due to the loudness of the pipes. (Wouldn't sound as loud if the pipes were designed differently, as evidenced by some of the older British motorcycles in my yard.) Maybe if you mentioned to your neighbor that the sound scares Sofi, he might move the bike towards the end of the driveway? They do have to warm up a bit, but I've never thought that high revs were good for a bike, anyway, the same way it isn't good to high rev a car engine. Just a thought. -- Carey in MA "DrQuilter" wrote in message ... don't talk to me about harleys.

You ought to introduce him to Sofi, who is cute enough to melt anybody's
heart, and casually mention how startled she is by loud noises. Roberta in D "DrQuilter" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... don't talk to me about harleys.

the bike is at the end of the driveway, and he revs it as he goes by, in
either direction, so I dont think he is trying to warm it up. havent met this guy yet, just see him go by in his helmet.... so it is kind of weird to bring it up...
