Didn't they shoot JR in Dallas??? 
A man should be a bit worried about driving around here in Dallas, especially someone as good looking, charismatic and modest as myself. The simple fact that the last famous Fitzgerald (with the aforementioned characteristics) who came through here, died of lead poisoning. No convertibles or parking near grassy knowles for me in Dallas!!!!
For those who havn't heard on November 22nd 1963, the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK), was assassinated here in Dallas (Texas).
On the idiot box is a show called Texas Hardtails which is shot at a renowned US custom bike builder Rick Fairless' Strokers Dallas facility. I thought if I was ever in town, I would go check it out and see some of Rick's work first hand.
Boy was I disappointed mainly from the fact that I would have like to see some of Rick's work. His shop was full of American Iron Horse and Big Dog motorbikes and was fairly cramped. It wasn't worth even taking a photo for my efforts. Oh well, nothing ventured - nothing gained.
Time to hit the fart sack.
