			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don&#8217;t Wave Back</strong></p>
<p>10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty</p>
<p>9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm</p>
<p>8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for</p>
<p>7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off</p>
<p>6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos</p>
<p>5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley</p>
<p>4. Just discovered the fine print in owner&#8217;s manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda</p>
<p>3. Can&#8217;t tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else</p>
<p>2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back; he impaled his hand on spiked helmet</p>
<p>1. They&#8217;re too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.</p>

<blockquote>
<p class="artfirstpara">A gang of scooter robbers staged a raid on a designer store in Mayfair last night stealing thousands of pounds of leather jackets.</p>
<p>The four-strong gang, on two mopeds, struck at the Belstaff store in Conduit Street and used two large stones to break the glass front doors at about 11pm.</p>
<p>The two pillion riders grabbed several designer jackets and stuffed them into bags before the gang rode off towards Berkeley Square.</p>
<p>The Belstaff store specialises in motorcycle clothing and <span class="inform">Ewan McGregor</span> used the clothes for his <span class="inform">BBC</span> series Long Way Down.</p></blockquote>
<p>*giggles*</p>
<p>for some reason, putting the words &#8220;scooter&#8221; and &#8220;gang&#8221; together in the same sentence makes me giggle. and when you add mayhem and chaos into the mix, well. *cackle*</p>
<p>..besides, come on. it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.belstaff.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=169&amp;Itemid=368" target="_blank">Belstaff gear</a>. those brothers <em>needed</em> those jackets. *cackle*</p>
<p>okay, tucking my amorality away now.</p>
