  1. Maybe they could put some kind of automatic hydraulic gizmo on the middle wheel to lift it at slow speeds.
  2. You wouldn't be able to turn it in a parking lot.
  3. So a quick description of what happened today, and what happens next. There were about 6 bills before the committee today, ours was second to last. The one thing that really surprised me was how engaged pretty much all of the Reps were. They paid attention to each speaker, asked good questions. Not what I expected. When ours came up I ad libbed my prepared testimony, hit all the points. I got a few questions, that was interesting. I noticed from the people before me there was a very specific way you answer a question and my boss had warned be about it, for example: Rep Smith: Mr. Kennedy, what about these loud bikes..is this about that? Me: (looking first at the Chairman) Chairman Green through Rep Smith, we hate loud bikes too. This is about wind noise that exceeds 110DB inside our helmets. You don't talk to each Rep even when they talk to you...you sorta answer/talk to the Chairman only. I can tell you that whoever started this idea and decided to not try and get ear buds allowed is a freaking genius, that was an issue. They wanted to be sure that was not included, and I feel it would have killed it in the committee. We will make it out of committee no problem at the next meeting and Josh is pretty confident it will sail through the House. Then we start the process all over in the Senate, Josh will lead that charge and keep me/us posted.
  4. Oh, you used Sammy's contact manager. Use Googles and they live in your Gmail account.
  5. I nailed it. ABATE is nailing it to.
  6. F @Casper and the traffic in his shithole town.
  7. Jesus, 445 alarm. Hate you bastards.
  8. Sounds like an iPhone thing.
  9. Ok, it is on for sure. I am leaving Cleveland at some ungodly hour tomorrow to drive down there. Meeting Josh in the State House a little before 9. There are 5 or 6 bills on the agenda so don't know exactly when I will be on. There is someone else from a 'motorcycle advocacy group' also testifying. To the best of Josh's knowledge there is no opposition speakers. Had to go buy a suit coat FFS, my suit doesn't fit me anymore. I may need to get in on the weight loss thread. I will talk to Josh in detail about the next steps after it clears committees. We still have to get leadership to bring it to the floor and then at that point I think we will need to make the Rep's phones ring with supporters. It's good that this rep is an R since they control the House.

  11. When you get stuck in the blank reply trap look for the blank square piece of paper. It's right next to the B. That wipes out your reply and lets you start over.
  12. That wasn't well played, I went full on retard and mis-understood his post. He basically just won the Special Olympics.
  13. I get it now, I was modifying my post as you quoted it.
  14. Oh, you are clueless on how you won 2 of your 4 wins. I get it now.
  15. This. It's an adventure man.
  16. You may find a boatload of kids at Atlantis. They cater to families. Big fan of Grand Cayman. They have turtles, dolphins and you can swim with rays. Curacao was also awesome, but a longer flight.
  17. You probably haven't. You suck at math.
  18. First year they brought back FI.
  19. FYI, the new tax plan kills the plug in car 7500 tax credit.
  20. ....of burnt @Casper in the morning.
  21. Pretty soon I am going to drive to @Pauly's house and give him some anti-freeze. And we all know what happens then.
