> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Spiny Norman \* > **bashere** has just sold a bike like Johnny’s and bought one just like mine ( **Coldfire** , eat your heart out!), so he was instantly considered among the Good Guys I could of course present you with a host of “eating out” jokes, but being a man of taste and refinement, I shall not. Good taste, **bashere**. A 748? Kick-Ass! I know from first-hand experience that the sound is indeed most impressive (Yes! Spiny let me rev it a little :D). Ah, no jealousy here. With a bit of luck, Spiny and myself shall cruise the highways and byways of Europe before the calender says 2002! (Assuming I get that damn license in one go. Yikes!) With a bit of luck, he may even agree upon switching bikes. And with even more luck, I won’t crash his precious Duke. 😉 I’m glad to hear all y’all had a good time! Welcome back to the Old World, Spiny. We’ll try and make the wait worthwile. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\ ***COME OVER TO THE HOODED SIDE, LADIES** 😉 \*\* Oh believe me, I am already there. I am **so** there! Consider me the hooded side’s first Jewish convert - hehe. Hey! Do I get a warrior name now, or something? And just to clarify… JDT was only right about the fact that intact is soooooo much better! But he was not even close when it came to his ideas about technique. Nothing even remotely similar to what JDT described took place last week! Not by a longshot!! And that is really all you’re getting out of me now. I think you have enough to go on, Diane, wouldn’t you say? 😉 * * * Jeg elsker dig, Thomas ---

Sorry about that, **jab1**. Though I haven’t revealed anything that **Spiny** didn’t, uhm, expose 😉 about himself in the infamous circumcision threads already, except that I happened to like it that way. Certainly didn’t mean to offend by that admission. And since we’ve already crossed the TMI line here, may as well respond to this… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Doobieous \* > \*\*i think i may one day have to explore the hooded side…if it’s what I think it is :). \*\* It is, indeed, what you think it is, **Doob** , and I’m certain you’ll like it, too. Just be very, very careful - once you come over to _The Hooded Side_™, there’s no turning back! 😉 ---

A JPEG wouldn’t hurt. 😉 I have to admit to only having the pleasure of knowing one. . . . how you say. . . . ? _Turtle neck owner_, but holy shit, Batgirl! Not sure if it was the equipment or the equipment owner’s technique, but who am I to question?!?! ---
