Then here's a little story for us old folks....

An Irish Ghost Story
This story happened a while ago in Dublin, and, even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it’s supposed to be true!!!!!

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of
the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a
big storm.

The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so
strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he
saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate for
shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the
door...only to find there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine
wasn't on.

The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead
and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging
for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand
appeared out of no where through the window and turned the wheel. John,
paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but
never touched or harmed him.

Shortly thereafter John saw the lights of a pub appear down the
road, so, gathering strength; he jumped out of the car and ran to
it.

Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling
everybody about the horrible experience he had just had.

A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was
crying...and wasn't drunk.

Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from
the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and
out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at
the bar, one said to the other...

'Look Paddy.....there's that f*king idiot that got in the car
while we were pushing it!!!!'

edit: I had thought FZ1 owners were a rather mature group ... until I found this on their forum!

This thread seems to be getting a bit stale so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures from the March 31st. track day at WISR.

This is for the "younger" SBWOTHC members just to let you know there's life after 60.
