Re: Two wheels good.

The one or two of you who follow my bailiff and snatchback thread may have noticed that motorcycle repo tales are conspicuous by their absence. The reason for this is that I never had any contracts with lenders who finance bikes. One exception is when in 2005 I was asked to recover one of these ...
