Bug Man and the Yellowjacket

I've been told that the exterminator who sprayed the house last week was not our usual man. Usually, when service people see the Yellowjacket in the garage, they will make some comment like, 'nice bike', or 'cool beemer, man' to my girlfriend. This new guy says 'is that an antique?'. She told him it was just a few years old. That's about the worst comment I've heard yet on an admittedly ugly bike.

The first time I ever saw a BMW boxer engine with it's jugs sticking out (back in my dirt riding days)..I laughed till I cryed...but it's not so funny now..

Once I had a guy at a shopping center looking at my bike..He walked round and round it..and then said.."Is that a rotary engine"...I said yes..

A co-worker once said, looking at the jug on one side, "Is that a turbo?"

"Yep got another one on the other side too."

As long as they don't call my bike "URAL". I am happy

Would be cheap and easy to fit a sidecar, though...

Right.

And when you put an umbrella over the URAL it becomes a Russian Luxury car. And when URAL breaks, you just take all your empty bottles from VODKA back to the store for the deposit and get your self a new URAL.
