I had no idea what Double Deuce meant until I googled it about two minutes ago.

We were partners in ignorance.

DD, however, has always had very positive connotations for me.

Oh My! I didn't either!

Just a little background on Double Deuce. I'm in the process of changing my business name from "Mile High Design" to "Double Deuce Design." The number 22 is my favorite, so "Double Deuce" was born.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to joining the best group in the BF!

That's why I gave a double deuce to Red Rider after I was "insulted."

Happy Trails

22 has been my favorite number ever since I saw Julie Hagerty chanting it at the roulette table in Lost in America.

Mile high and the two finger salute are not so very far away from each other. As to the best group- possibly the friendliest group but If like DG you have a white bike- then other forums might be better.

And you need a new Avatar- That one is used by Mochta on the Long distance forum and like the Union jack for me- It has become our mark.

So come on- 2nd posting as a ride report still to come and what upgrades are you planning?

Is it true, DD, that DG is shaving in all sorts of new and interesting places? That's the rumor that's been swirling around the Internets.

Silly me, I thought you were an assassin and liked small caliber weapons. Which was intriguing, and then started to make me nervous. And then I noticed your avatar, and started to get a little scared instead of just nervous. Nonetheless, welcome aboard. Just don't shoot me.

I can't believe some of the stuff that I'm reading on this thread. You guys are sickening. Rules are rules. The only honorable way around them is what we've always done. Bribes.

So tell me. Can you bake a cherry pie?

I had no idea, either! Thanks for looking it up for the rest of us. Wow. One tough cookie, if that were the case! But I read that it doesn't mean that to her.

I looked it up too ......

I think "Diego Design" would be a great name for your business.

Welcome, DD.

I had to deploy the Double Deuce the other day after a cell-phone using driver pulled out of a side road right in front of me.

So... she asks if she can play then... nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Diddley. Squat.
Come on, girl, if you wanna play, then play.
You have stories to tell. New bike. Yadda Yadda.
