So I know I do it, well used to, and I know probably 98% of us do, but I am going to give everyone a little story of my recent first hand experience and maybe it will end up saving someones life, or at least helping make everyone a safer driver. As most of you know my wife is prego, not just prego, but officially full term, 38 weeks along and ready to pop. Anyways, had our normal weekly apt yesterday morning and everything was normal, still shooting for August 14. Fast forward to the drive home last night, I get a text at 6:15 that she rear ended someone on I270 by Roberts Rd. Of course I'm freaking out, get in the car and rush over there, find out she's pretty okay, 25-35 mph, but car is F'd. I mean not like totaled but pretty good front end damage, front crumble zone worked perfect, along with hood crumble zone, but it did break the radiator and I am sure other things. So once we get it on the hook and head to Grant to be looked at I find out the reason it happened was her phone rang with a text message and she looked down to read it, looked up, boom. Now I have told her countless times she tailgates, and to back off, but then toss in the text alert and game over. I know I have texted often while driving and had been making a pretty good effort at stopping, mainly because I don't want to kill anyone, my kid, myself, my wife, my dog, the list goes on and on. Anyways, that easily could have happened last night, including my unborn son. With that said, the next time you think you really need to text while driving, think of me, my wife, and would could have become of her and the baby. Rant over but thanks for listening. And for the record Grant Labor and Delivery is legit, super nice people, remodeled, and the resident OB Dr. last night was nice on the eyes and pretty young.

as you feed thousands of people with only a few loaves of bread and even less fish, do you think to yourself, "Imma throw the first stone cause that's how i rolllll"

Ok who's in for round 5? We need to come out and show support for Todd and Moto Series, or we won't be racing at this track next year. So let's start planning the details. If you have an open trailer spot, you're looking for a trailer spot, etc, post it up. I can fit 4 bikes in my trailer and I believe I have 1 open spot left. (Hollywood, am I taking your bike?) if anyone else in the Cleveland area wants to fill that spot, let me know. I have that Friday as a vacation day so we can get loaded and head out there. Trackday Saturday and racing Sunday, and home by Sunday night. If you're thinking Putnam is too far, nk140 says man up and quit being a pussy. He drives 6 hours to every Nelson round all by himself!

Sorry Ryan. Gonna be spending the day with the wife on the Wing. Speed safely.

when you turn water into wine, does it take more concentration than texting on a smartphone?

Penalize the result, not something that "could" result in dangerous driving. If someone causes a wreck or runs off the road because they were distracted, it shouldn't matter whether they were distracted because they were texting, putting on makeup, handing a bottle to their kid in the back seat, or freaking out because they dropped their Big Mac in their lap. If you want to reduce avoidable wrecks, make the penalty for causing an avoidable wreck such that people actually focus on driving safely.

We have a club

I was thinking the same thing, probably brought in the Hubble telescope to help find something smaller than R1nutsuckers weiney. Glad to hear you got your rape kit put together too, always have to have a few of those on hand.

Suprise. sent from double thumbin' it

I guess the biggest one was 43 seconds that caught my eye, but re watching , it really wasn't a corner. Guess I'm just not used to seeing guys ride all over the road , even in the straights unless they are making a pass. No worries. I wasn't being critical. I was just wondering if there was a reasoning or just goofing off.

What parts? It seemed that the crossing wasn't in the corners.

Should have already been replaced

I agree with 3 fingers and loose. This only apply's to chains however....

Why do all my threads turn into pissing matches?

Mmmm raspberry pie

The fact that you even know what eyefinity is means you're a geek.

Holy shit!

Fuck, I just Love OR. I love my friends(and friends I haven't met) on OR even more. I won't say anything too over the top, but she understands her mistake and has owned up to it. She was only cited with failure to assure safe distance and no texting because legally you have to be caught in the act to have charges. The guy she hit had some beater and was totally fine. However I did tell her it is still possible to sue us due to what happened, and that our insurance would have to fight it etc. Also for the increase in rates, that ain't something I'll be paying, she will. We each pay our portion of everything and that falls into the I didn't fuck up category, so I am not paying shit. We had our talk, it's done and over, we had plenty of time in the hospital to talk about it and she knows she fucked up royally. No need to rub it in. I am guessing KZ900 was just pissed off or had a bad day and wasn't directly attacking my wife, for what it's worth she's a Doctor, so she isn't "stupid" granted maybe she lacks in some common sense areas, but shit, she's a female. So I won't take anything he/she said as an insult really, just someone who may have had an experience with being run off the road or almost killed by someone texting. I ain't mad at cha bro. However, like I said, the guys that responded in my absence, reminds me how tight of a family we really are on here. I haven't even met everyone that did, but it was a feel good moment to see that people do have peoples backs if an insult is tossed out or judgement. Again, thank you all for that, and like I said, I'm not mad at anyone, just disappointed really. Preliminary quote is $3,990, before tear down. It will be $6,000 when tear down shows the mechanical and structural damage(radiator mount subframe, etc), maybe more. But said 1-2 business weeks would be it.
