Whighter?
Guy calls me up the other day and asks if my Honda 919 is still for sale. I tell him I musta sold that ride like five years ago, that these free motorcycle classified sites keep re-cycling their old ads forever just to make themselves look busy. He says, well, really, I just wanted to ask where you got that windshield in the picture. I tell him matter of fact that shield is hanging on the wall of my garage, cause the first thing I do every bike I get is I remove the effin windshield. It's a murdercycle for cripes sake ... it's sposed to be windy, duh. He says he just scored a 919 after years away from bikes (I smell a bride right there) and the wind is blowing him off of it. I tell him he needs to get a grip. No, literally, grab those two pipes and grip them puppies. Be glad you have a firm grip if ever you are about to go over the edge and need to grab at a last straw. But he is convinced he needs a windshield. So I shoot mine out to him. But I made the mistake of putting my return address on the package. Now he wants to shoot back at me. Somewhere along the line while we were chatting, I had mentioned I was mellowing out in the garage with a good Fonseca Arana cigar. So he orders up some Aranas at c.com and throws in a hygro (George, shoot me a PM and it's yours) and a lighter. I'm getting to the point. Have patience.
Well, up to now, I have had zero complaints at all just firing up my sticks with a wooden match. Just scored three boxes of those giant kitchen matches the other day, in fact. Take me seven years to run through them all. But early next week, I will own a Moretti Carbon Fiber Jet Torch lighter.
Lighter? Why? Kitchen matches are pretty low maintenance. They do light a cigar. Is there any real justification for using this torch, at least enough to make up for one more thing I'd have to fill up and clean and try and remember where I put it last; or should I just pass it on to someone who might actually think he needs to use it?
Why use one?
