  1. Owned it for 1 year and 2 weeks! I sold my 2004 YZF-600R. It had 19K miles and I got 3K for it. I was asking 3500, but since it's so late in the season, I figured beggars can't be choosers, and I still made profit. I was pretty torn about keeping vs selling, since I know it's a solid bike with plenty of power I could continue to grow into. A YZF-600R is comfortable, reliable, and has a plenty big community, but I just bought an engagement ring for my GF, I don't make as much money as I did when I bought the bike, etc etc. I'll definitely buy another bike (I've already been on craigslist browsing, LOL) but I don't know what it'll be. Honestly, it might be smaller. I really don't need as much power as a 600cc sportbike (or sport touring bike) can make, and it's way more fun to ride the piss outta something than to get halfway through second gear before you have to start braking So, all in all, I've been riding 2 years... A different bike for each year. Started on a 500cc Buell Blast for 1 year, then had a 600cc YZF-600R for the second year. Personally, I think both were great for what I used them for. The blast was a fantastic bike to start on, and the YZF-600 was great to see a little more middle-range of what riding is all about. I sold each of them for more than I paid for them (Although I about broke even on money with the YZF, since I bought some new tires & if you count taxes paid on purchase price). Buying a bike, riding it for a year, and then selling it for profit is a good way to gain experience on different types of bikes, although there IS something to be said for familiarity. I was looking into trading it for something smaller + cash, since my GF has expressed interest in learning to ride, but nothing came through and I was pretty lazy about advertising... A craigslist ad, bumped once a week. Someone had the cash and was ready, so I jumped at the opportunity. I'm sad I missed the big yearly ride, but the time was right to sell... And now to find my next bike! p.s... I'm sure I'll hang around the forums just as much, although it wasn't as much this year as last year.

  2. I had a blast, even though the ride was officially canceled, close to 40 riders showed up for the ride. A big thanks to NinjaDoc, and UnclePunk who more or less chaperoned everyone into manageable groups, and to the leaders/sweepers who volunteered at last minute notice. To download the panoramic group shots (from Flickr), click the picture on Flickr, in the top right click 'view all sizes', and then just right click and 'save-as' to save to your computer. Or, use this link: http://imgur.com/a/z2CoM#S33Rc mouse over the top right gear icon, view full resolution, right click save-as.

  3. Inform them, as politely as you possibly can, that you enjoy meeting random groups of gay bikers in the woods miles from anyone who may spot you and that you've been doing this for a number of years. That you would greatly appreciate an intervention, then break into tears with your face in your hands. Let it sink into their heads while you continue to "cry" before laughing your ass off at their misunderstandings. Some people just dont get the rider mentality. That it only takes this one common interest to bring multitudes of us together so we can all ride like we love to

  4. i love how youre comparing a droidx to an iphone 5......droidx is a fucking dinosaur compared to the phones available now.... your comparison is about as relevant as comparing a 1995 gixxer 600 to a 2012 gixxer 1k

  6. Snot, ours was the most awesomest group! haha, yeah... Everyone home safe -- that's fantastic news. I didn't even see any mechanicals which is certainly unheard of with that many bikes. Says a lot about the Ohio Riders -- you all rocked! Thanks for letting me tag along.

  11. my claim was you take the fun out of it by looking way to god damn deep into things. Man mocks disabled girl. We mock and suggest beating of man full well knowing none of us actually know him are involved but would like to see REAL justice served, not that PC bureaucratic dribble the government deems "justice" I'm assuming that is all this thread was intended to be and the fun part. Turning it into another legalese debate just removes the fun IMO. Its also carryover of other funny picture thread where I like to see funny pictures instead of reading dumb facts or raising questions on its legitimacy. We get it, its the internet and half the shit is fake Now in cases like the chase/shooting thread it is better suited however (and this is just me) I usually stop following because it then becomes boring to myself and I'm not here to be bored, that is what my job is for and this is my multi-tasking escape from boredom. Instead of bitching (normally) about someone posting whatever they want on an open public forum I just opt out like should happen and disregard it until my (supposed to be) comical one liners are challenged and then I shall insert my asshole ways to instigate for pure entertainment value And lastly, you specifically wrote I said you were wrong and when challenged you quoted a comment that did not have me saying you were wrong or implying you were wrong so I still don't get how you came to that conclusion #Lawyeredbyanidiotwithawfulgrammar
