  1. Yeah, I can feel my sholders and back starting to stiffen up already. No I don't have any sliders, I was amazed that the side large plastic is okay, I'll look at the piece this weekend thats popped out, it doesn't look broke, just out of place.
  2. Yep. I had a little accident about 30minutes ago pullin out of the Speedway at Roberts & Walcutt. I laid it down in the middle of the road (Walcutt) turning left out of the Speedway. Someone stopped back before the drive and flashed their lights to let me out, I was attempting a to turn left and go North on Walcutt, I looked right at the intersection, didn't see anything coming, pulled out and right as I was about to go a car came flyin up the turn lane, I didn't see it, it was my fault, I actually don't think I looked left, I was already in a lean/turn to the left and I grabbed a fist full of front brake, the bike went down and I jumped off of it as it went down and was just standing there looking at it in the road. Not sure how I did it, but I picked it up like it only weighed 5lbs, turned it around and walked it back into the Speedway parking lot. The shitty part, the guy that almost nailed me, didn't even stop to ask if I was alright, he just pulled up to the light like nothing happened. The bike is alright, bent clutch lever, bent left turn signal, scratches on the crankcase, left handlegrip and front fork, got a piece of plastic that looks like its just popped out of place. I'm glad I was able to jump off the bike and not go down with it! Not a scratch on me! Coulda been alot worse, I could have ended up a hood ornament!
  3. We won't be there either, we have other plans with a couple friends, but if they fall thru for some reason we'll probably show up!
  4. How is $250-$300 for a dog nuts? People pay 4x that much. Maybe you don't need a dog that badly if you can't pay a few hundred for it.
  5. Hey! Don't insult your FZ6 like that! Bad rider! Just cause you're not bent over in a fricken racing stance doesn't mean it ain't a sport bike! I love my FZ6R too
  6. I once went to an outdoor daytime summer concert at Buckeye Lake (back in the late 80's) wearing shoes, shorts, shirt, carrying a cooler and a blanket. When I left all I had were my shorts! That concert rocked!
  7. Why not just use PayPal? Paypal uses a per-transaction fee, no monthlys. Its widely accepted and has become a standard for online payments.
  8. You're gonna have a hard time finding people to pay $10/mo when you can get quality hosting for $3.95/mo All of my stuff is hosted thru IX Webhosting @ $3.95/mo for unlimited domains, storage and bandwidth. Check it out at... http://www.thebestdamnwebhost.com/
  9. >Police found him some new clothes and arrested him on suspicion of DUI. Ya think? Could he really be drunk? >Officials said this was his fifth DUI arrest.
  10. yeah don't sweat it. I know people with cell phone numbers from all over, most have them from their "home" area but have moved and never changed them which allows people from their home area to call them without long distance charges.
  11. Ok, is that supposed to be more impressive cause it was done on top of a building???? The stunting would have had pretty much the same effect had it been done in the middle of a parking lot. Its not like he was riding along the rails or something, just sayin. Still nice ridin.
  12. And thats exactly why I dug it up from the stories, I planned on eventually throwing the numbers back at the Harley guy giving me shit, for now I'm just sitting on the info, waiting for him to take another e-jab at me!
  13. I know, I shouldn't let the guy get under my skin but I did. I could dig up all the info regarding each crash but I don't wanna waste that much time. I believe in most or all of the cruiser accidents the rider was over 25 and in probably 90% of the cruiser accidents the rider and/or passenger were not wearing helmets and I can only remember one crash invoving alcohol.
  14. Not everyone on the road is an Ohio Rider, at least not yet!
  15. I don't doubt that, just think its interesting, cause some Harley guy was giving me shit about some of my posts regarding riding styles and speed and such, so I thought I'd dig thru the stories to see what types of bikes were involved in the accidents.
  16. I've been mentioning that there have been lots of riders killed in NE Ohio this season. I'm originally from Lorain so I tend to read the Morning Jounral online a couple times a week to see whats going on up that way. Well I've been invoved in some arguments with other readers on the MorningJournal.com story forums regarding motocycle accidents, and while digging thru old stories to get an idea of whats going on up there I found an interesting trend in the accidents. I found stories on 20 reported accidents from April to September that include both deaths and injuries, check this out... Cruisers: 11 Sportbike: 1 Scooter: 1 Unconfirmed or unknown: 7 Based on ages and whether or not they were wearing helmets, one can make a pretty good assumption that most of or all of the unconfirmed 7 were also cruisers. So much for sportbikers being the dangerous ones on the road
  17. Sad to hear things like this, it doesn't help our image with the cagers. Don't pass on double yellow lines guys/girls, they're marked that way for a reason. This rider was in a hurry, now he and his passenger are both dead. http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2009/09/14/news/mj1606844.txt
  18. I go for the turkey legs (boobies are just an extra perk)
  19. I ride year round. If it gets above 40 and there is no snow/ice on the roads I take it out for a spin!
  20. Thanks the rep. If you liked that one, check out the DAFT HANDS, not as fun to watch as two girls in their underwear, but still entertaining... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPq1_9DsLKk
  21. Or, you get about a dozen of us to show up at your landlords place and ask her wtf is up? We could politely ask that she rip up your lease agreement and everyone go their seperate ways. Just a thought
