This thread is lame as fuck. I hate myself for even opening it and humoring it.

You're Indian or whatever, right? Play tennis, cricket, or soccer. Those are your choices.

Close enough to declare you the winner!!!

I have told this story before, I think... I was never into bikes growing up. I liked cars. Then the guy I was subletting my room to for summer in college came home with this, for $600 I thought it looked like the perfect mix between sport bike and cruiser. He started shooting his mouth off about how fast it was, so I went online to confirm, and damn if it didn't beat a Mustang GT to 60mph for $600... I wanted to buy a cruiser, because I thought knee-dragging was dumb (or I convinced myself of that when all the sportbikes I went to look at were either bought out from under me, or in horrible shape...) Then I found my '97 EX500. The price was right. I was sick of shopping. A new age of awesomeness in my life dawned. The End.

First ride and first street bike. Let's see yours.

I agree.

Deposit in hand.

Still, it is now less gay with pics of IP in spandex than it was when it was the new bike thread.

How did this go from ninjadocs new bike to a gym and cycling thread wth?

@i-Zapp - I registered here just to reply to this post. lol I just came back from VIR as a student and to complete the CSS coach requirements. From what I saw and your comments, on your first day... you held back too much. When they say to ride at 75% they REALLY mean it. So you're not a novice, fine... don't ride like one. Ride fast enough to where the drills make sense and are challenging. It will also help your coach help you get the most from their drills & coaching. Level 1 doesn't mean "ride slow", it means to "play nice" with traffic you are passing and ride at a pace you can work the drill with focused purpose. I rode nearly A pace for my level 1. For example; the very first drill is "throttle control" with no brakes. To fine tune your throttle control skill with no brakes and still ride a pace that allows you to drag a knee is quite challenging. But... it's nearly impossible at too slow of pace without some crazy bp. Same deal with the 2nd drill of "turn point". I hope you enjoyed Laguna and will see you soon at Mid-O.

I am also in N Ridgeville. Sounds like it's meant to be.

Props to Steve for this one. I always roll my eyes when guys talk bravado about it's their money and they can do what they want with it and the wife can go f**k off....those are the guys that end up getting blindsided when the wife bonks their best friend and makes them pay alimony for the next 10+ years after a divorce. Idiots. I'm happily married and want to stay that way. If that means a bag of Idaho Russetts for my car fleet in both Ohio and FL, I'm grinning all the way to the bank (literally) as well as the beach. I didn't want to buy a boat just yet in FL, but wifey pushed it. Now, I'm glad we did...she's a smart woman and knows what I like. I bleed for my love/passion of cars, but as others have mentioned, I want/need dry powder for other things that are more important.

Wish I didn't already love my pioneer in the theater section. And this is probably too beastly to put in my living room and like you say, filthy kid(s) will ruin errthang Tpoppa is one stand up guy, don't be afraid to deal with him.

I have a slightly newer version of the above. Someone is about to get a killer deal on an awesome unit.

I have a Bowflex Max Trainer. It's a hybrid stair stepper with arm things like an elliptical. It is awesome as you can see from my pics. Very small footprint in the room...it's fun to use and kicks your ass. http://www.bowflexmaxtrainer.com/bowflex-max-trainer-us/homepage.jsp Thread hijack complete. Well done gang, it needed to be done.

I love you man, in a non-homo way. Not that there is anything wrong with being a homo.
