Ballad of the Silverwing rider…

A Silverwing under my old butt
This great scooter, I can trust
Takes me here and takes there
My arrival, I do not fear

Smooth as silk the ride I get
Engine purrs at 80 plus
Down the roads I do ride
Sipping gas while I fly

A Silverwing under my old butt
This great scooter, I can trust
Takes me here and takes there
My arrival, I do not fear

600cc a working for me
I’ve got to stop to take a pee
Back on the road for here I’m free
The roads my life, God’s waiting for me

A Silverwing under my old butt
This great scooter, I can trust
Takes me here and takes there
My arrival, I do not fear

I Change the oil when ever I can
Keeping this scooter spick and span
When it rains I do get wet
But I dry and have no regrets

A Silverwing under my old butt
This great scooter, I can trust
This roads my life, just one more mile
O’ Dear God please wait for me?

Love it!
Thanks, Dennis.

Thank's Mike, As you can probably tell....I just made that up. Just thought I'd give it a go!

Dennis; Have you put your ballad to music

Try "Ballad Of The Green Berets" written by SSgt Barry Sadler.

Well dang it DennisB......thats just excellent. "Write On". Jeff.

Thanks Jeff,

Some times it surprises me what a person can come up with 2 cups Nurse Cratchets strong coffee under their belt and some time to just kill a few brain cells early in the morning. It could have been longer, but I didn't want to put anyone to sleep. Glad you like it.

This is just a note to all the good people thinking about being a member on this forum. I'm just haven fun and we do, from time to time talk about technical stuff on the subject the Honda Silverwing scooter.

So...don't be scared and feel free to become members, well get back to the normal topics, soon.

Thank You.

Hey DennisB. The girls at work are putting on a rummage sale, and I have become " transporter of stuff". Always get a kick out of hauling in these priceless treasures from Shirleys Tempo, and Jacks Galaxie 500.
Today.....there's a box of records.......I'm a happy guy. Bings White Christmas, Alan Shermans Hello mudda, Hello fadda,......but there it was.... a 45 of "The ballad of the Green Berets". My next day off I'll ship 'er to Texas. Take care.....Jeff

Hey Jeff, we do like Barry Sadler in Texas, but you need to send that record to Oklahoma. I think they do have electicity by this time.

[Said in a British accent]......"Oh you Texans think you are so smart,with your knees bent, running about.....I fart in your general direction."
Hi Hi Yo.......Wouldnt you think that I could get an address correct when it is two inches above my post? Jeez, I sent a money order to DennisB's house in Iowa for the hitch. I always remember Dennis at Xmas with a box of Omaha steaks delivered to his door in Flagstaff, and I paid those Dallas Cowby Cheerleaders a pretty penny to dance topless at DennisB's birthday party last year in Cleveland. "Oh Nursey Cratchit........could I have my meds now....and make it a double..........Nooooooo....not the tube!" Jeff.

Dang it Jeff....What a wopper. You must have a little Texas blood running in your vains, by God!

Since I'm not from here originaly. If you look at the history of Oklahoma, nobody wanted this place until the government gave away FREE land here.

Hey DB.........A day off tomorrow.......I need to package a 45 and send it to you. 45rpm record that is. Some special agent probably thinks I'm sending BB guns through the mail.
Might be time to add a few stanzas to the Ballad.........if you could get ShaniaB to help you with the final mix.......we might have a hit on our hands. Could I be the drummer? Jeff.

You got it!

Hey Jeff.

Got the 45 "The Ballad of The Green Berets" today and it really looks in good condition. I think I have some of those little 45 centers so I can play it tomorrow.

Thank you very much....Very Cool.

You betcha DB............It was a big surprise finding it, just days after you posted the "Ballad of the Silverwing Rider". Just like all my old 45's, she'll probably be crackly, and full of pops when you play 'er........but hopefully that will bring back some good memories! Thanks for being our Silverwing600 "Parts Guy"........you know,..... the guy behind the counter, that you could always count on, to answer your questions, save you a few steps, sell you only the parts that you needed, ask you to try bleeding the lines before you bring it in to the service dept.........you know......a good guy. Thanks to you DB. ........Jeff.

Jeff, Your very welcome....and Thank You.
