Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Wasn't me, Mike. Besides, I would just tell anyone who mentioned it, that the open trunk lid makes a great 'spoiler' to help with handling in the curves.
But you would never do that - ride 50 miles with it open. Wonder who it was?

Broken Arrow, OK | Thanks for the history Synstr. I've read your reply twice and still haven't a clue what it means but I'm guessing I shouldn't have booted the one that stole my bag of chips. My bad |

Okievision,
GOOGLE 'Raven in first nations mythology' It makes Greek and Norse mythology read like a weak comic book, every critter has a ranking and importance in the scheme of things. They are persistant and can be pests, but they're fun to watch as they figure things out pretty rapidly and they are lots of fun to watch as they play.
P.S. the lowest guy on the Totem pole is actually THE most inportant figure on the pole, not the schlub.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | From Wikipedia:
Vertical order of images is widely believed to be a significant representation of importance. This idea is so pervasive that it has entered into common parlance with the phrase "low man on the totem pole." This phrase is indicative of the most common belief of ordering importance, that the higher figures on the pole are more important or prestigious. A counterargument frequently heard is that figures are arranged in a "reverse hierarchy" style, with the most important representations being on the bottom, and the least important being on top. Actually, [among Native American totem poles], there have never been any restrictions on vertical order -- many poles have significant figures on the top, others on the bottom, and some in the middle. Other poles have no vertical arrangement at all, consisting of a lone figure atop an undecorated column.
Regardless of the origin, the term "low man on the totem pole" is generally understood to mean LEAST important. Using it to mean most important would probably just lead to confusion. And we have ENOUGH confusion on this website !!! |

Broken Arrow, OK | No doubt . I gotta pass on the mythology study, not my bag, have enough on my plate already but thanks. I was kidding about booting a Raven. As tourists in the Grand Canyon, we found them pretty neat. I found the one in Don's video extremely neat, lol. Thanks for sharing |

" And the rotten bastage says "It's overdone - all you have to do is get closer to your subject" - friggin' near killed him ... |
