Traveling Salesman, or what I learned on the road





(Presenting software in Las Vegas)
I just got back from being on the road for business. I am by no means a road warrior, my friend Brent is a real road warrior, but I got a little taste. Being gone for 18 days including 3 cities in 7 days. In was in Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Indianapolis and Louisville, KY. Not exactly a world tour but it was fun. Here is what I learned from T-shirts wore by attendees of motorcycle shows.
1. "If it's got tits or tires, sooner or later you're gonna have problems"
That pretty much sums it up doesn't it.

2. "I burned a fatty at suck, bang, blow"
It turns out that, Suck, Bang, Blow is a biker bar in South Carolina and burning a fatty is a reference to smoking your tires (your motorcycle tires) in the burn out pit. A ritual of revving up your RPM's to the point that the back tires billow out white smoke as the motorcycle sits motionless.

3. Wide Open Choppers of Daytona, Florida does not refer to holding the throttle down at full speed.
