Gee I would have thought "Red Mist" was a no- brainer
I have only named 1 bike. My ST 1300. I call it STArship for a couple reasons. 1 it will transport you across huge gaps of real estate comfortably at Warp Speed. Secondly it's all black. On a tour I went thru an intersection where they were painting stop bars and got tiny white specs of paint all over the bike, I mean everywhere, that I didn't see until I stopped that night. It now looks like a galaxy. Then I cut out and added an x- wing fighter from Start Wars and added it to the nose of the fairing. Looks like its flying thru a star filled night lol. It's also reflective so at night the X wing fighter glows when light hits it adding a measure of safety.

I'm slightly hurt. I asked you on another thread a couple a days ago whether Cap'n Kidd was the name of your bike.Red Mist_imp said:
Does it spend a fair bit of time trying to buck you off?

G'day Cormanus,
Bruce, we all know the rules. Bit non-PC for 2013 :angel:.
Back to topic:
My CB is named "Last Blast". And I fear it may well be so. :huh:
Cheers

My kid named mine Hal 9000 because the red paint reminds him of Hal's "eye" in 2001 A.S.O.

Sorry, I didn't see that...Heh heh, yes, he worries me from time to time!
So you really are familiar with the Breck Elkins stories? That's something. I just laughed my head off at the story of how Breck caught Cap'n Kidd.

You recommended them here as a good laugh, so I got hold of a copy and have been reading them. Some are very, very funny. He's a great character, as is Cap'n Kidd.Red Mist_imp said::rofl:Cormanus_imp said::rofl:Pterodactyl_imp said:

They remind me of another American detective novel I read years ago. I can't remember the author's name or the title of the book, but it was the seemingly naive tale of a country policeman investigating a small-town murder. The writing style was reminiscent of Howard in that it sought to capture the tone of the protagonist. It was a lovely and clever book and I keep hoping I'll rediscover it.
But it doesn't have the laugh-out-loud slapstick qualities of Breckenridge Elkins, so thanks for telling us about him.

Mine's called 'Dixie', which is kinda strange since I'm an Englishman!

I like Bruce. Good name for a bike. Nice name for a Pit Bull or Rottweiler too, even if they're females.
