Mellow I have a question...........which wine goes with Velvetta?

Really hard to narrow the fine wine choices down to one, but any of these 3 will do wonderfully: Thunderbird, Night Train, or Mad Dog 20/20. Really hard to find Night Train though as it's been discontinued, Cisco may be substituted in a pinch.

The finest establishments always had a consierge outside the door happy to assist the customer with their purchase if like Coop they were confused about the proper wine purchase with their Velvetta, and were too embarrassed by their ignorance to enter the bodega.

I was beginning to think I was in the midst of a gaggle of uncouth troglodytes.
Definitely Boone's Farm.
Strawberry.
At 14 years old, I lost my childhood.
(But I still have that Boone's Farm belt buckle.)

Trouble with the Boones farm is you'd have to drink 3 bottles of that to get that " knock you on you arse " feel vs one bottle of Night Train. When we were young we did not have money to waste so you wanted to get the biggest bang for your buck.
 
How did we get here, I was thinking it would go this direction:

The date night shared compromise was usually Ripple... some of the consierge's even imbibed it, unlike BF and BH. :wine2:

Just pulled this up about Ripple: The fortified and fizzy sweet wine concoction was produced by E & J. Gallo between 1960 and 1984. And, according to The Drinks Report, "Surviving bottles are extremely rare with unopened bottles, originally sold for $1, valued at between $150 and $200."

Yeah I don't want to be sexist but I never understood why they like sweet drinks.

Yeah we have came up in the world. Today my ladies would want covisier or congiac or single malt scotch. Glad I'm married but I recalled when I was looking females would be drinking draft tap beer the cheapest then when you asked if they wanted a drink they'd say yeah and have you buy the top shelf stuff.
 
Was beginning to wonder what kind of Harley forum this was and then I remembered...
Oh yeah, BMW. Kinda like Harley riders... only WAY different!

No not kinda like. BMW or the Sport touring crowd are totally different than the HD crowd. As I frequent both worlds I can tell you HD people mostly beer. Sport tourers and BMW people prefer the finer spirits and do not ride tavern to tavern like thier HD brethens.

Well...it's ok we aren't gonna tear up your man card;). People drink what they like. For me the sweet stuff like brandy, schnapps and liquors make me sick if drink too much. Rather have me some good bourbon or nice drams of 12 year or older single malt scotch whiskies. Too me nothing like taking a long bike trip and at the end of the day over a roaring bonfire having a good toast with friends.
 
I think someone was "Kinda" insecure there. I'm not. BMW is a good bike. Just costs more than I want for parts even if I work on it myself.

I too have ridden with both crowds. Can't you take a little ribbing? Like I said... "WAY different"...

Besides, there is a difference between being built like any other motorcycle and just looking similar in some ways to a scooter vs. actually being a scooter. But I'm sure y'all already know that.
And did I mention @Mellow , You picked a real nice bike there. I really like the color. :)
