- Mr Davis;
-
- First off let me thank you for your response to my original post.
- I always have enjoyed your postings here at rec.motorcycles, and will
- continue to do so for some time to come. I also had lunch with Elvis the
- other day.
-
- Anyway, my bike is a Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC). In Latin it
- translates as follows..
-
- Heritage - from the Latin word Herigicus meaning "all over the land"
- Softail - from the Latin word Softassica meaning "my ass is killing me"
- Classic - from the Latin word Classicus meaning "overpriced but resellable"
-
- So the translation is basically "Your ass will kill you when you drive this
- excessively priced bike, but you can sell it for as much as you paid for it".
