"Jon!" says Tramp. "Please, take this. Drink it. It's good for you."

Jon stares at the dew-pearled bottle. "What is it?"

"Beer."

"Beer? Beer?"

"Jon, you've just been ballasting TOO long. Though it looks focking fantastic."

"You think?"

"Does D have cute legs. Drink!"

Jon takes the bottle, drinks deep.

Tramp sees a smile that looks like a freshly painted Hudson doing a hundred miles an hour down straight track.

"Ah . . ."

[Daisy]

"J****@@~~NNNNN!" says Daisy, "Drink, man, drink, where are you, come out of it!"

Daisy's eyes float from the laptop screen out the window and across into the trees. She waits for a response from the South. Thinks of swimming in the sea just an hour or so ago, Tramp reminding her that he's never once regretted swimming in the sea.

"J()(%&#W&$%**&()*)NNNN! Drink up! Those ballasts are so fine - Now Drink Beer!"

Tramp walks in wearing faded jeans holding two beers. His hair's grown out a bit. Must admit, those jeans are looking good. GOOD.

AAAAAHHHHHH. I slump to the floor. Thank you, my Friends I was just coming around until you mentioned THAT NAME. How could you my Brother. ARRRGGHHHH!!!! You said it!! HUDSON. HUDSON. HUDSON. Now my heart is truly broken. I have no HUDSON. No 100 MPH sweet rolling ,thundering steed of all that would be right on my humble layout. I must think. You have awoken my passion once more from its addictive slumber. It calls me by name. JON. Hey, could I have another beer?

[Tramp]

Brother, I would recommend a few more just to be safe.

Hey, fired up the Duc and ran it around a bit.

[2railjon]

Thanks, Bro!! One can't be too safe!!
How did the Ducati run? Screaming? My brother LOVED his!!!! Have "Legs" take a snapshot so I can post it!!!!! (of the bike that is)

[Tramp]

Okay. I will.

The ballasting really does look great. That damn Brennan has it going, doesn't he?

[2railjon]

Tramp, Thanks. It's great stuff and someday I'll figure out how to ballast the center part of the track. To mind boggling for now. The box Dennis sent me covered 3 14 X 14 loops plus 4 pretty long sidings and I have 2 scoopfulls (a spray paint cap for a shaker) left!! I still need to plant the grass and moss, but enough is enough for one day. Hey, I'm about to turn up 2 fingers of rum, are you in?

[Tramp]

Jon, Ducati photo is in your email. I want to make it clear that I do not ride in that outfit.

[2railjon]

I'll post it!! Just want you all to know that only a true lover of beer would be up at 5:00AM bottling!!!

[2railjon]

Tramp, Where did Dennis go? I hope I did'nt screw him up to bad about aromatic ballast. I hope he's not down in his basement mixing up batch's with High Karate Aftershave or Brute Cologne!!

[Tramp]

Doesn't that row of bottles look good, but how will they taste? Homebrewers are like many fathers: they always think their offspring are amazing.

[2railjon]

Gotta throw the dice, Bro.
( if this beer is anything like my kid, one pint will kill you).

[2railjon]

DAMN BRO!! The scooter looks like it's doing 120MPH just sitting in the driveway!!!! WOW! Nice.

[Tramp]

It weighs under 400 pounds, which is very light for a 900. It's not super fast, but enough for me. Next year I might ride my silver one. There are only 300 in the country and mine is 007.

[clouser]

Not fast!!, yea right! Tramp that is an awesome bike:

Down through the corkscrew, the reworked suspension worked flawlessly, the front providing good feedback. Turns Nine and 10 are fast sweepers, and despite its quick-steering geometry, the 900SS remained rock stable. Hammering the throttle up the front straightaway, the rev-limiter kicks in all too soon. This is not the old 900 that would poop out before it ever got near the redline, this motorcycle pulls right to the top
