Following clues left by the Big Game himself I have managed to uncover a couple pictures of the "Big" guy.

should have waited on that second shot for the face plant

Hmmm,

Based on what side the steering wheel is on, the fact that you have your bike on the back, and that the general landscape seems indicative of New England, I'm assuming you did not rent this car on a European vacation. Given this, I have a few inquiries regarding the Car in first picture:

1. Is this BG's primary mode of motorized transportation? (e.g. is this his daily commuting vehicle or is this an "extra" or "spoilmyself" car?)


2. Approximately, when did BG procure this automobile? (Would he be considered an "early adopter" whose purchase added to the popularity and trendiness of the car).

That's all I have for now.

Nice work Gungy. I've seen the second picture when researching riding spots. I believe there is one of him dropping that (cleanly).

Since the B.G. has gone a wassiling I'll inteject.

Yes, B.G.'s primary source of transport. B.G. was on the waiting list the day they would take names. He waited ~6mo. for delivery. Yes, it's an "S".

Yes, he did execute the drop cleanly. I beleive that particular drop is about 40" high.

Yes, it's an "S".

The first time I saw the second picture, I interpreted the drop as a mud puddle. Looking at it a second time, yeah, it's a ledge. That puts a different light on something, I'm not sure what.

Acutally, the car is not mine. It is my boss', who is a world famous author (but I can't tell you who). In exchange for doing security work around the estate, I live in one of my boss' fabulous guest cottages. Also, as a perk, I have the privilege of driving any one of his many fabulous cars. The problem is, is that this privilege is often taken away by my boss. You see, he is a very formalistic english gent and well, I'm just a laid-back American. We tend to bicker a lot.

The day this picture was taken (at Soapstone in Ellington, Conn.), I was on his good side because I told my boss that his "trousers looked proper and dignified jacked up to his armpits." He didn't realize I was being sarcastic, and took my words as a compliment.

Anyway, what he don't know won't kill him and I really enjoyed driving the MINI that day. Unfortunately, it wasn't the babe magnet I imagined it to be, which is a bummer, as depsite my somewhat pasty complextion, I do keep in shape and have a lot to offer a wonderful woman.

What am I driving today? Well, you guessed it, we had another fight, so I'm stuck with the Ferrari. (it's much worse than you think, it is blue and red is really my color)

Hopefully tomorrow will be much sunnier and my boss and I will get along. Until then, Happy Motoring.

Your Pal,

Big Game

Yes, but what I really want to know is, is your Boss really the well know author of trashy adventure novels or is he the pompous, twitty British caretaker and are they in fact, one and the same?

Couch, I don't know what you are talking about.

Wait, it is kind of funny, you know, I never see the two in the same place at the same time. You know what? I think my boss is in fact, Superman. Wow. I really should get on his good side. He could really kick the crap out of me.

I know that his favorite dish is boiled liver and mackeral corn-pie (ya, it's kind of an english thing). I should really make it for him tonight. Does anyone have a recipe?

Big Game,

I found this picture on the back of my favorite mystery novel but, until now I hadn't made the connection.

And then I noticed he was in this picture of you me and T.C.

I thought he was just a grdener and he took care of the "Lads"? How are Zeus and Apollo?

Man, does that picute of us four bring back some memories. Hey G.W., what do you say we go down to the King Kamehemai (you know I don't know how to spell it) Club for old times sake. I really need to get out fo this friggin cold. We could have a s---load of beer and get totally loaded. Then we'll head out on your boat for some more beers. I'm sure we'll be able to find some chicks who are ready for the adventure. We'll bring our guns along and shoot at stuff. It will be a hoot (as long as we don't flashback to you-know-what).

SloMo,

You could be there next time. How about we all sell our mountainbikes buy Harleys and cruise across the country?

That is one sweet ride. I'm a fan of Fatboys and that ride has the same flavor.
Ride on my brother!

I'm thinking of ordering the frame for the bulldog and building up a nice 104 shovelhead or something like that. of course it will have straight pipes on it when it's done. Straight pipes are a must. Yeah I hate to get rid of my bike, but the thought of building up another harley from scratch really floats my boat. You know, from a knucklebuster perspective it's nice building a bicycle and the parts are expensive, but if you a nbn natural born knucklebuster like myself, it's awesome to get involved in a project like building a hog. It will take me 2 years to build it. One f'n bolt at a time. Knuckle

Nope, I'm done with the hardtails.
