With my truck, I let that 7000lbs beast chill on the parking pawl. If I got the trailer on with 10000lbs loaded, throw'er in "p" and walk away. No Phucks given!
I wish I had a bike I could park like a bmx bike. Remember doing that? Roll up to your friends house and and just set that thing down, on the left side though, so you don't bend the sprocket.
I think we logged 470 miles today and managed to get a hike in, rescue a stray dog, hang out in construction while completely ignoring half of the OR people who drove by, and ride the dragon at night, in the rain and fog with bugs caked to our visors. I'm proud of myself for not getting eaten by a bear.
I was actually a member here a few years ago, but my old info seems to be history. That's OK. I have a 2006 GTO with a number of mods. It will run into the 11.8s in good weather and good track. I'm re-joining the group to find out about events and get advice.
I participated in a Norwalk track rental with this group, and attended a few cruise-ins. I still have a "CR" sticker in my window.
she just needs to get a motorcycle and ride, then maybe her perspective on life would be much better. I wasn't unhappy before I got my bike, but riding has definitely made my life more enjoyable in some regard.
Park in gear start in neutral usually on the bike when I start it. The car I throw in park an walk away. If its a manual car I park in gear, E-brake on , and wheels turned towards curb. Why? Because shit happens.
Are you trying to tell me that it's not a good idea to take away your ability to brake and steer while there are other motorists around? Next you're going to tell me that a headlight shining up in the air is less visible than one aimed down the road...
First a MRAP is not anywhere close to a tank, though it is armored against small arms like AR and AK rifles. Second how in the world can a tiny community like Brimfield justify a MRAP, even at a purchase price of $0?!!! According to Wikipedia the 2000 census was about 3200 people. That is barely more than a cross roads! Borrow the SWAT vehicle from Kent or Akron for the once in a generation that your town actually has a need for one. Craig
Why do some enjoy sailing while others need a jet ski? A jet ski/wave runner is faster, better handling and adrenalin pumping while the sailboat is slower, peaceful, hard to turn, and more relaxing..... I'm not looking for increased heart rate and a buzz from my ride. I'm in it for pleasure....relaxation. Honestly, I've never seen or heard anyone being ridiculed for gear or lack-there-of except for here on OR. Ride your ride and enjoy it.
