Thought I'd share my joys in finding out how it feels to ride in Texas...in August...during the hottest, driest period in recorded history. Not that I've been out riding any time recently(since '92), just got the motorcycle endorsement on my license(after taking the MSC), got the "new" bike, alpinestar jacket, insurance, title, parking pass for work, plates(holy crap!! I'm hemorrhaging money here), brain bucket....you get the idea. So with all this in hand, decided to find out how it "really" felt to ride in the heat. Once it cooled down to 107(in the shade), put on all the gear and moseyed on out to the shed to start up the bike and take it for a spin. ****Don't get me wrong, I will not sacrifice safety for the sake of comfort.**** Had to work at getting the bike out of the shed....maybe I shouldn't have put all the gear on before this step? :dunno:Once the sweat was really rolling down the crack of my ass, the bike finally decided to come out of its nest and spread its wings. Heading down the 1 mile of dirt road(at 20mph) till hitting the pavement:farmer: brought back memories of all those years of riding dirt bikes as a kid, and I was feeling pretty damn confident in my handling skills. "No problems on this stuff...why was I worried? Why did I even think I needed to take that MSC??" Made it to the pavement and turned down the roadway toward the less busy end of FM1372(TX names their county maintained roads, "Farm to Market" roads). I am flying!!! Feel the wind flow through this jacket! The reviews were correct, it feels pretty damn good! That layer of sweat is now cooling me down to 105! Wow, I must be doing 80!!! ~~~I looked down....the speedometer read......45..... The bike was making a low rumble as if to say "Don't you have a pair up there??? There are more than 3 gears asshole!" I did finally push it up to the speed limit, 70. Let me tell you, in 107 degree weather, the sweat was gone. The cooling from sweat evaporation stopped at 60 mph, and now felt like I had a nice sunburn standing in front of a blast furnace, with a high speed fan! Bugs the size of squirrels slapping me in the face like I'm the newest contestant trying out for a Donkey Punch video! Next investment??? Full face shield lid! Under Armor t-shirt and underwear! Got the bike(and me) home in one piece after about 20 minutes of riding, put everything away, and took off the gear. Needed a squeegee to use across my glasses from sweat dripping down my face(remember, I'm not going 60 now). My clothes were sweat-soaked like I was 16 again, under the influence of Mono...feet looked like I had been swimming for an hour...definitely can't use these work boots, gonna have to break out my Matterhorn Field boots from my Army days. But hot damn! I'm back on the bike!

this has always bothered me. metric is so much easier and makes more sense...

A crotch rocket is a FUCKING DILDO!!!! Its called a sport bike. Would you call a sports car an ass rocket? No, because it makes no sense. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread about putting retarded looking monkey bars on a rice cruiser.

Fire.

Ross, do you need a hug because I think you do.

sounds like something written inside of a bathroom stall

i would rather be seen on a vespa than a bike with apes

He can still revive it! I'll donate a gopro! Atgatt shmatgatt, this thread isn't about safety, it's about humiliating guys with mullets!

here is adesa's guidlines about IF's. be consummated and final when the auctioneer calls out the Buyer’s bid badge number and the block clerk records that sale and all of the specific terms thereof. Notwithstanding the above, “if” sales shall be final and binding only when the highest bid is accepted by the Seller and recorded or a subsequent offer or counteroffer is accepted and recorded. #4... http://images.adesa.com/publicweb/dealerregforms/US_Auction_Policy_EN.pdf Again, these are real auctions. now you can clearly see I'm not an idiot and I know what I'm talking about. all you little smart asses can go suck a fat cock.
