Like i just told Harry no, the story is not 100% true; it's a story. It is not a True Story, it's just a story based on some truth. Yes, there could be more but I get the feeling my work is not so welcomed here; sad. I've so many tales, stories, poems and photos about a place i hold dear in my heart and the way things use to be there back in the early 70's it would of been nice to have a place to share them...

I don't think a lot of people come here to read fiction. It was pretty transparent to me right from the jump.

I WILL NOT post any more links to my site. I forgot that is not allowed here. I WILL NOT Invite yous to take a peek at the rest of my work on line in my web site: stories about (my) adventures in negril back in the day, my art and stuff and I WILL ONLY post a short story or poem here, for yous to read if yous wanna and comment on if some'a yousguys wanna from now on. I am sorry I gave you the impression I was trying to sell something... I AM NOT!!!

re:
my guess is he will be along in a bit to post a link to his website so you can buy them from him. He's a writer and this is to catch your attention so he can sell you something.

Harry,

He did post a link to his website where you can buy his books and artwork. He promised last year he wouldnt do it again until he became a sponsor. His link was edited from his post.

Jim,

Thank you for once again saying you will not post any more links to your site until you become a sponsor as Elise Pittman and Roberta Pryor both have done. They are both artists/writers as well. It is not fair to them to allow you to advertise for free. Your website states that you are trying to sell both your books and your artwork. The links for both are on your main page. Your books range in price from us$25 to about us$40 and your artwork for about us$30 including shipping. Since I can find this information from the links directly on your website, this does rather give anyone the impression you are trying to sell something.

As I mentioned to you last year, you or anyone else for that matter can become a sponsor on Negril.com for as low as us$150 a year plus GCT. We are a Jamaican owned and operated company, pay our Jamaican staff and pay Jamaican taxes, which seem to be going up every month... (grin)

If you or anyone would want to become a sponsor - please feel free to contact us at sales@negril.com.

Thanks again for your understanding man!

What could be better than bragging about riding a motorcycle drunk and stoned, sleeping with hookers, then crashing the bike? Irresponsible at best, dangerous and deadly at worst. Lucky it was an inanimate object you hit and you didn't kill anyone or yourself.


==> the thing is the motor cycle story is about 15/20% truth and the rest is fiction. It's a story: a short story from my collection of short stories, about being a hippie gone wild back in the day when there were very few hippies in Jamaica ... maybe a bit before your time, I do not know; i do not know you harry but I'll tell ya what if you think the story is 100% true i got a bridge I'd like to sell ya....

IRIEchic, there's more - my guess is he will be along in a bit to post a link to his website so you can buy them from him. He's a writer and this is to catch your attention so he can sell you something.

==> I'm not a writer, just some guy with a head full of memories and way too much free time on his hands. Just a guy who likes to share his stories, but most misunderstand. I am not an artist, I just like to draw, surrealistic renderings of things, I imagined or things I saw. Just a guy with a lot time, to listen to my Muse, sing her siren song of inspiration, can't refuse, there's no use. I am not trying to sell anything; got nothing to sell. Just a guy trying to share; so many stories to tell.

You can go back in the archives and see what he posted before. He comes along every couple of years and starts a thread (like this one) to entice new readers to check him out. As he says, "He is not a writer" just a hippie who (as Jimmy Buffett says) "..is an over 40 victim of fate".

Maybe people are just growing up a little and don't find his reckless behavior as exciting as he remembers it.

great story.
just wonder why you went to mo bay to get bike?

[Jim Nasium]

to Original Spanky :
in 1971 there was no other place to go. Negril was a tiny little fishing town with just a few buildings by the old bridge and roundabout, just a few homes up on Monkey Hill and not much else...


To Rob:
Yes, that's true; there are links to buy my books and my Art for sale on my web site but I wasn't offering any thing to any one here: honestly wasn't trying to sell anything and won't try to sell anything man

To all ya all:
I understand some'a yous are not into fiction and would rather not see any of my work here so with that in mind I will not post my work where it is not wanted...

call me crazy but I liked the story although knew most was not true from the get go, it was different.
