  1. Someone refresh my memory. Where do you see your rep at and the comments left with it?
  2. My SWing (Honda Silverwing) weighed more then my current bike! Oh, and...
  3. You can counter-steer at any speed. The idea behind it is for the counter steer to "initiate" the lean for you. Try it while just cruising straight, just bump the handle bar slightly to the right and feel the bike lean to the left.
  4. Looks like the everyone's prayers did the trick, David is pulling thru and is now awake and alert. He just had surgery to fix the broken bones in his face and will be having the piece of his skull put back on shortly that was taken off to ease the swelling on his brain. He still has a long recovery road ahead of him followed by a long time in therapy which will probably be followed by jailtime. I think he's going to be charged with two counts of vehicular assault not to mention the obvious things like dwi and failure to control. This wasn't his first accident while under the influence, hopefully this one taught him a lesson.

    Cote de Pablo?

    As far as NCIS goes I kinda dig Abbey!
  6. The group of people NOT wearing HD shirts or with long scraggly beards
  7. Its not close at all, simply speeding up cause you're worried you just got nailed is not running, its not running from the cop until the cop has commited to pull you over, ie. hit the lights.
  8. I do too. Makes it easier to pulse the light, instead of actually pulsing the brake all you gotta do is let off it and reapply every so often. I think mine flashes 4 times every time its applied.
  9. Looks like he was trying to swerve around it to the right but just miscalculated. At high speeds it could happen very easily. Vast majority? Not on THIS forum. I've never done it, and don't personally know anyone that has. That is NOT running from the cops.
  10. Glad he's okay, +1 for gear! I'm always watchin my mirror when stopped, tend to keep pulsing my brake light too when I see someone approaching behind me.
  11. The watermelon vid is real. I saw this video the news this morning. Not sure why a video like this is newsworthy but nonetheless, saw it on NBC4 this morning.
  12. As long as the weather is nice I'm sure some of us will still go out to hooters on Friday nights, just won't be any give-aways or dedicated bike parking
  13. Okay, you twisted my arm, we'll be @ hooters tonight too . Won't be @ C&A, will meet you guys straight at hooters.
  14. I may ride Sunday, but I'm not allowed to ride with TaRR anymore, wifey said so Just kidding of course; I don't listen to anything the wife says! Doh!
  15. Definetly a bad idea. I don't see that lasting very long before some group protests or there are lawsuits due to accidents.
  16. Hmmm. I actually like the KY HH's, got their cd Electric Barnyard.
  17. At least me and the bike made it out in one piece, I just needed clean underwear
  18. You know it happened so fast I'm not really even sure I noticed that road so much as I simply ended up there. Oh well.
  19. I know right. Damn wide angle lens making me look like a wimp I don't know that I'd call it target fixation, I just got spooked and didn't feel I could make the turn when I saw how sharp it was. Could I have made it? Maybe, but my gut told me I was going to fast for my skill level to attempt it, hence the split second decision to stand on the brake. I honestly can't even remember if I applied any front brake, once the back locked I just rode that out.
  20. Thats just nasty. Bet sales of water filters just went up!
  21. Sorry to hear this, well wishes and prayers for a full recovery!
