If you live in PaNILE WV, you're laughing right now.

Just last week I was riding my motorcycle through "PaNILE" WV, which is just outside of Spencer and oddly enough, near GAY WV. I explained to my friend that people are always mispronouncing the towns name, because it's spelled PENIEL.

On WSAZ news this evening, the new guy named Brooks pronounced it "Penile", as in penile dysfunction.

OK though, because that mistake has been made for 50 years.

Motorcycles are dangerous and hard for motorists to see.
They are ridden by young people with the reflexes of a cat and the brains of a cinderblock
or they are ridden by old people that should have more sense and have the reflexes of a milk cow.

24 thousand miles in 2 years and a total of over half a million miles since 1966... most in shorts and T shirt.

My motto: If motorcycles scare you, or if you're worried about crashing, no amount of denim and leather's gonna help.

But then again, jumping off the New River Gorge Bridge as I did when we weren't certain it could even be done makes motorcycles look like the safest thing in the world.
