[ale] Quasi-OT: One for the true hackers

[Hogg, Russell E]

That's funny,
I thought the whole point of a motorcycle was that there wasn't any extraneous stuff like an audio player.
:)


As for the shock-mounting, upgrade to goldwing.


Seriously you might try one of those arm bands or something.
I'm just trying to think of something that gives as you ride.
