Hijack it, please, I can't take it anymore.

The best productivity killer. EVAR.

^ Wait, what?

You're right, I tried shrinking it down to gauge size. It just looked like this...

Not gonna lie, barbwire is pretty ghey but that dragon is kewl I might be interested in doing this, I even have a picture of your mom I could use.

I think it would've been $35. At least I think that's what the website said.

Oh and in other news I had the cash on me to pay them and they forgot to ask me for it. Then called me later and told me they forgot. I haven't called them back yet. I'm a bit undecided, mostly because I'm still pissed about no insurance discount.

I know what you mean. Like I said I learned a few things so it was worth it. Apparently they're trying to field interest for a sportbike-only type of ERC. That would have made more sense than being mixed in with HDs and Wings. I don't think I'm worried about taking another one, I don't get an insurance discount and getting up at 6am to get to Cbus and spend all morning in a parking lot is not something I want to do very often. Standing around in the sun not moving game me monkey butt

I work for State Farm, we are mortal enemies

They were doing the BRC right next to us so I was able to see what it was about. The 250's looked fun but the exercises are downright boring compared to the ERC. We did (that I can remember): Low speed slalom Panic Stops 90 deg turns U turns in about two parking spaces of width S turn Short and long U turn at speed Out-in-out sweeper and decreasing radius Avoidance maneuvers Stopping in a corner Mini track

State Farm doesn't offer a discount for taking the MSF course. Ghey.

Is it just me or have meteorologists been smoking some crack lately?

Poseidoooooon!

I had a Q before the HTC. I really wanted something more powerful. My Q happened to fall off a table with the charger in it, broke all the pins in there. I had the insurance, called it in and told them the Q is broke, I hate it and if they don't send me a different phone I'm leaving Sprint. The rep said "I can offer you an HTC Touch Pro." Uh, I'll take it! Free upgrade!

Well I took the MSF Experience Rider Course yesterday. I had gotten my license the old fashioned way so I never did the basic. I have to say it was pretty fun. I was the only supersport there. We had a few HD, couple Wings, a 919, supermoto (man he had it easy ), Triumph, and an ST1100. So here's what I learned: 1) the R6 has a pitiful lock to lock. I would be doing the sharp U-turn and get my throttle hand pinned to the tank. Since we were doing a lot of parking lot maneuvers I was way out of my element. Not surprisingly, the HDs are pretty good moving around in their natural habitat, the parking lot. 2) My set up for a corner wasn't great a couple of times. The instructor said I was braking too late before I went in. I definitely noticed that I went in too hot on a couple of the tight turn exercises, had to trail the rear to bring it back in line. 3) Brakes are amazing (ok I already knew that). They told us at the beginning "You might be used to pulling on the brake lever with one or two fingers, here we would like you to use all four." I pleaded to use just two, they said no. The first panic stop exercise I used two by pure instinct and they told me they thought I was going to stoppie. I used two for the rest of the day. 4) I wasn't looking up far enough in the corner. Especially in the beginning I couldn't help but look at the slalom cones, which make me get out of line by the end of it. I got better, but on the tighter/slower version my steering lock kept me from making much improvement. Also, on the higher speed maneuvers I got my eyes up horizon level instead of looking for the exit, definitely helped. Much more natural. 5) ST1100s can lean. Really cool guy on that bike, really had it cranked over in some of the exercises. Last exercise we did a mini race course (think peanut with a back straight) and they split us into 3's. It was the ST, 919, and me. Really fun, not really pushing it but enough corner speed to get some adrenaline going. Really has me pumped to do a trackday (when I have $$$). 6) If you are the only supersport and show up in full leathers, prepare to get comments. Still, really cool guys. Not jeering, but funny. For example, once we got out of the slow u-turn and slalom exercises it was time for the higher speed turns they would turn to me and say "You'll really like this one" or "There something at the bottom of the manual here. Tell the guy in red leathers not to do this at 100mph." Anyway, good times. I scored a walk in with no trouble and it went from about 8am to 1pm. I would definitely recommend it and I hope I'll get a little insurance discount too.

Man I would love to have one of those old 2 smoker sport bikes.

I went in, told them about it, new one on the way no questions asked.

Oh and BTW I won the argument because I owned your rep I'm off to ride, there are valid points in here. I'll spread it around and give some back.

I like the Bimota comparison better too imHo I just don't like buying something so someone will go "Oooh that's a _(Insert brand name here)_!"

To the 1mil MB? In value yes. This is apples to oranges. People will pay, that's the bottom line. I wouldn't but other people will. People buy HD, I don't get it, but that doesn't stop them from moving a TON (each) of bikes.

Antiquated

Aaaand I've been out keyboard warriored Handbuilt means what? Is that better?

Haha, glad you didn't post the 1 pack. It's like a flood over here!

"Car" Magley, I said "Car"! God, when are you going to start reading things before you post?
