Default abnormal vs normal and who's ta say

i dont know about you two hooligans but the only differance i ever felt hauling *** thru the mud was doing it upside down! an hell that was more excitment and a yahoo, rolling around with jeep and landcruiser axles and parts fliying and the inconvinance in havin to dig mud out of my ears for a week or two was just that an inconvinance! Sad day that day though had to send what was left of my jeep and my buddies land cruiser off to a better place LOL poor thing i broke its back and had to put a round in its tattered radiator other than that no diff ! would that come under the category of abnornal and not of a right mind ? i would have to challenge that and those that think so, for obviously they have not lived ! an Old saying that well LOL Old bikers say when asked what there epetagh should include is " i have no desire or intent to leave this life in a well perserved, fit and healthy body, on the contrary, i fully intend to leave it in a broken, worn out, used up shell of what once was but now is, having full knowlage that i have seen and done all that life had to offer,and sliding at 100mph into my grave hollering holy s... what a ride !!" short version ! let those who ride decide ! normal LOL not us fellas it just dont fit!! By the way nice rig it is one badss truck ! hey Red! highboys dont count in the feud little brother! both chevys and the fords were some badass trucks in those years ! 70 to 72 was there best work man !then they both went to hell in a handbasket till what around 75 or 76 till chevy got tough again ! Keep the dirty side down boys!! if what matters dont matter than what matters do!
HAMMERGONE!!
