I would have guessed that your bike had a larger engine than a 998 cc. :)

I can't afford to pay $75 to fill up a gas tank. If that makes me a freak, you can just throw it on the pile of other things that also make me a freak.

You can't afford a new bridge, either, eh?

With 150cc you could almost lightly brown toast.

Actually, on many, it wouldn't take much more than that to brown trousers.

You don't like the rusty, crumbly bridge?

If you could reproduce that photo at sunrise or sunset it would really saturate those rusty colours. It could make for a very nice photo.

That bridge is pretty close to my house. I may try the sunset suggestion one of these days. It's on one of the remaining bits of the original Route 66. Hard to believe that major highways used to be that narrow.

That bridge doesn't look too sturdy. I wouldn't chance it!

It's only a mini.  If the bridge crumbles, no big loss.

Yeah but Stingray probably weighs more than the car anyway. You know, drinking all that Mountain dew eating bacon and slacking off can really pack on the pounds.

I agree that the old bridge is getting pretty raggedy. I keep expecting it to be torn down or at least closed off. It's hardly used at all anymore. There's a modern bridge that's part of the current state highway 66 that runs paralelle to it about 20 yards away.

We don't call 'em SUV's but I hate the fricking things.  The only people who own them here are people with too much money to take their kids to school.  When they only live about 1 minutes walk away.

Besides that they are dangerous to other motorists (not to mention pedestrians) as they are so damn high.  The bumpers would go straight through mine & Stingray's windscreens.  In the right usage they are fine, but the manufacturers don't target people who want to use them properly.

Hows that 998 running Stingray?  My old 998 had a blown head gasket for several years and still went off the speedo as far as it'd go.  Rusty little bastard was a good 'un :)  Just got my Cooper going a couple of weeks ago after 8 or so months off the road.  First day it was on the road I showed one of those B*W mini's a thing or two as I flew by at 85  ;D

The little 998 runs like a champ. It's got to be one of the most bomb-proof engines ever built. My @#*%ing brakes are acting up again though.
