  1. I figured things may have changed since then. Good to know it is safer and better. I did get sick from it too, all my lymph nodes swelled up. And the corpsman wasn't pleased. Perhaps I will consider getting some redone. All the eyes in the skulls in the top picture used to glow.
  2. I'll post more if I can get someone to take decent pics.

  5. I had some work done that glowed in black light. Probably around 1998?? I got sick afterward, dunno. It was really cool for awhile, but these days it doesn't glow.
  6. Gotta have a license to drive. A license to wed. And all sorts of other regulations. But no license or anything to have children. Shame.
  7. Dumbasses! And yet they breed!
  8. There are some nice moves. Holy smokes!
  9. Oopos Sorry! Wrong person.

  10. Hey, did you ever try to call my friend, Adam, about his Z? He said he hasn't heard from you. Just wondering.

  11. I'm 42. I've ridden on and off all my life. But primarily since 2003, during which I have logged 43,000 miles and traversed numerous states on my Z1000. I think it is the orange color. After most recent episode, I've decided that one more ticket and I will paint my bike black.
  12. OK, last one. I had my permit. I was wearing all my gear. I was riding in the daytime with endorsed friends. I was not breaking ANY law. We were sitting at a stop light and I could see the police car across the intersection. He saw us too. He actually pulled into the median, left of the left turn lane. And as soon as the light turned green and we went through, he made a u-turn, blocking other traffic. He followed us a mile or so, flipped on his lights and siren just as we were slowing to turn into a local biker friendly establishment. I was last in line, so I stopped. The officer came at me briskly and kind of made my hair stand on end, I felt my defense mode kicking in. He said he pulled me over because I did not have a motorcycle endorsement. I said, "That's funny." He asked, "Why do you think that is funny?" I said, "Because I have my permit right here. I have insurance. And I am riding completely legal." He asked to see one of my friends' licenses. So I had to walked into the parking lot to track one down and ask him over. The cop looked at my friend's license, saw that he had the correct endorsement. But, evidently, that was good enough. Since he couldn't get me/us with anything, he had to run my friend's license in his computer just to try and get something. None of us had done anything wrong. There was absolutely no reason for the harassment. There was especially no reason for the officer's bad attitude, at least on our part. Needless to say, I never returned to that town to spend my money.
  13. Riding through Rocky Mountain National Park, my group left me at a stop. I was making my way up the mountain following a couple of cars. I couldn't pass because of traffic from the other direction even though it was a passing lane through a corner. Huh? Anyway, once the road was straight and there was no oncoming traffic, I passed the two cars in front of me. Probably went over the speed limit a little but not much. As soon as I pulled out, I saw the law. He was on the other side of the road and wasn't even in his vehicle. He started running to his SUV. I figured the jig was up. He had to pull a u-turn, scare the crap out of people, speed, cause drivers to pull off the road, and generally make a ruckus just to catch up to me at the next scenic overview. He said I had passed in a no passing zone, I said it was not marked. He said that the little yellow things sticking up out of the pavement meant that it was a no passing zone. What?!? No solid yellow line? Who knew? He also said that passing more than one vehicle at a time was unlawful. By this time, the rest of my riding group had wandered over to see what was up. This made the lawman a little nervous and told them all to back up. (hehe, nicest bunch of people you could ever meet.) None of them had ever heard that you couldn't pass more than one vehicle at a time. So after all the public endangerment and harassment, I did not get a ticket. Yippee for me.
  14. Sitting in traffic in quaint little town in Michigan, 9 hours out of Chicago on my way around Lake Michigan, I wondered why the traffic was not moving. But I waited...and waited...and waited. I decided to pull up next to the vehicle in front of me to ask what the hold up was, thinking I'd park my bike and find a place to pee while I waited. In doing so, I had to stop so two people could jay-walk in front of me. Just after they passed, "Johnny Law" walks out into the street and motions for me to pull over. I was even moving. He said I had illegally over taken on the right. I told him the story as above. He said that I might have passed many more than one vehicle. I suggested he ask the drivers in the vehicles sitting there, but he declined to put in the effort. I asked him if he didn't have anything better to do, and he replied that he did not. He wrote me ticket. I called in the following week to see how much I owed. Then I had to wait another week for them to be able to tell me. It was $130!! WTF? I considered fighting it, but that would mean I'd have to ride another 9 hours, one way, just to go back to that shithole. (It turned out that the bridge was up so that boats could pass.) FTP!

  16. Indiana State Trooper pulled me over on the turnpike. I'd been speeding. He said he didn't want to have to scrape me up off the road, blah, blah, blah. BUT that he had been following me for 10 miles. If I had been that dangerous, why didn't he pull me over sooner? Looking for me to actually crash? Doing something really stupid? A-hole. When I pulled over he walked up and tapped my mirror saying, "You must not have seen me because of these little tiny mirrors." I said, "That's not it. It's that they vibrate too much when I get over 80." Got a ticket of course. Was going to get one anyway.
