mitch, that was a great scene from The Getaway! Love the way old Slim walks off back to El Paso. There was another old western character actor in that movie; Dub Taylor. He was the hotel manager.Slim.

Here are two of my favorite scenes from Blazing Saddles!

Mitch, I am really surprised that you left out the classic Blazing Saddles scene!

Dale, You Are Correct Sir! But there are so many great scenes, it's imposible to list them all!

Too true!

LMAO!

Hey orvet, I watched that scene from Blazing saddles and laughed so hard I almost fell off the chair! my wife asked me if I was still 12 years old. I told her in many ways yes, but I'm not alone. Slim.

I work in cable tv and a friend "god bless her soul" that was a dispatcher starting saying just give it to superman he will get it..... KBLESUPERMAN

Nice!!
Way to "git er done"

As long as we can laugh like we are 12, we can forget our real age and hopefully a few aches & pains!

Blazing saddles was on TV last night. My Granddaughter watched it with me. Can't tell you how many times I've seen it, but it was still funny.

Cuz my wife says I`m about a 65 on a Rockwell hardness scale.

trutemper, I've been struggling with myself for the past ten minutes, trying to maintain some decorum and not take that in one of several directions that would get me all jammed up here.

I don't think I've had the opportunity to welcome you aboard. Glad you're here. Hang around. It's a great place for knife addicts to not stand out in a crowd.

Hi Jerry, nice to meet you and OOOOPS.....I didnt mean that in ummmm, well maybe the direction you were thinking......I meant, cuz I`m so OLD and HARDHEADED!!!!!(STUBBORN that is)....oh geesh...maybe I should shuddup while I`m still ahead

A knife addict, a Jarhead, and a biker. Dang, Chet. I like you better all the time.

i dont ride too much anymore, but i used to do crosscountry trips every year. did a trip in 2 days once from east pa to so. cal. did 1500 miles in one day on that trip...never again, just wanted to do it.. did quite a few 1000 mile days tho. gets to the shoulder blades the most...those quiet rides thru the western states that run forever and what i call, towering natual castles, every where on the horizon. what a great feeling on the road. i plan to do it agin next year, might be the final hoorah. maybe not

Longest one day ride for me was 400 miles. From Rockford, IL to Dayton, OH. I'm no Iron Butt and I don't ride when the thermometer goes below 65 deg.

I rode from Oregon to Santa Ana CA (MCAS El Toro) in February 1971.
18 months later I rode back out through the desert ( east towards Barstow & then north- about 700 miles).
It was the worst sun/wind burn I ever had!
Of course being a Marine I had to do things the hard way so I rode wearing just jeans, boots and a sleeveless Levi jacket with the front unbuttoned. By the time I made Oregon I was about the color of a fire truck! I got 3 bee stings along the way. I was pretty sick for a couple days. That was just before I shipped overseas.

Geez, Dale! When I read the first part of this post, I thought you meant that you made the ride this past February! I was afraid you might be ready for the ol' padded cell!!

I see your point Ray.
I added the year.

I rode from Texarkana to El Paso....once..

An old Jarhead I used to live across the street from is, as we speak, on his way back to Rockford after riding up to Glacier National Park. This is the same guy who, before his wife died, rode out west to The Grand Canyon, around and back, 5000 miles on a Fatboy. He has since added a bagger to his stable for these long trips. Last year he rode down to North Carolina and rode The Tail of the Dragon. Of course he's only 55 years old so he's really still a whipper snapper. I had a picture of him riding the Dragon but can't find it.

This is his tombstone.
