Aerik

Yeah, pretty much. AFTER I get a raggedy old sportbike of some sort, then I'ma have to hunt down some kind of dirtbike. The ability jump the curb and randomly disappear into the woods then magically reappear on the sidewalk in front of Chipotle sounds pretty cool. EDIT: In my ignorance/ laziness, I don't actually differentiate between dirtbike and dualsport-- that's just a street-legal dirtbike, right? When I say dirtbike, that's actually what I'm talking about.

Those dirtbikes look like so much fun. I may have to get one eventually. And a sportbike. And a bigger cruiser. ...sigh.

You can still work it forcefully with a gimp-knee. Spooning doesn't have to be all gentle and stuff. If your girl has some decent arms, try this (if she doesn't, do it anyway, she'll get stronger): 1. Lay on side, pillow under bad knee, facing wall about 4 feet away. 2. Get your girl to brace both hands firmly against the wall with elbows slightly bent (and one foot too if she's flexible). Ideally, she should be angled away from you like you're doing doggystyle. Except both laying on your side. This way she can push back from the wall with her arms up over her head. 3. ???? 4. Profit! This only works if you have enough weight/ arm strength to not get pushed off when she shoves from the wall. If you're a little fella, guess you're SOL.

Well, I saw a 2006 ninja 250 bought for $1500 recently, if that helps.

Yeah, he's pretty much an egomaniacal douchebag. But anyway, pop music is retarded, and I can't hear the Beyonce song he was talking about without seeing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTegy6sBQVA

I've found that in Ohio you can ride year round as long as the roads are dry. Once you get to Jan/ Feb, though, you're going to be layered pretty heavily and probably riding for short durations at a time. Half an hour, hot food/ coffee, half an hour, more coffee, half an hour, etc... Works for me, anyway. +1 on the heated grips. Good stuff, and not terribly expensive either.

I had fun on the ride, as well. Hopefully my big old bus didn't slow the pack down too much.

I was being a bit facetious. It's alright.

I'd love to get one of the t-shirts or the cleaning mat. Failing that, a hat would be pretty cool too (except not the camo 'cause I'm too lazy to hunt).

My shoes are not like your shoes... Somewhere in that 4-minute waste of time was some serious profundity.

My buddy has a v-star 1100, I'm going to text him and see if he's down. I'll PM you with his number if he gets back to me in a reasonable amount of time.

Yeah, it is a pain in the arse. But still worth it. Of course, most of the shinies on my bike already have dingy spots, so it could just be that I don't care enough to really clean it right. I'd rather ride it than scrub the fins with a toothbrush.

Only 3 more? WTF? Haven't people heard of winter gear? If there's no ice on the road, there's no excuse. And anyway, it doesn't even get cold till the end of November.

I'll be there, as usual.

The buttered cat paradox is a valid concept in theoretical physics.

^^ EDIT: Damn, too slow!

Yeah, when the smoking ban went into effect, I acquired a pool table, some bar stools/ tables, a bigass tv projector, and an xbox 360. Even after all that, I save a ton of money over going to the bars, and have more fun too (no crowds of stupid people or crappy music). And noone complains if we convert the pool table into a workbench for exploded bikes or a card table for an 8-hour drunken MTG tournament.

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe he did have a chance-- Plenty of women say 'I just want to meet a nice guy', but how many will happily ignore that 'nice guy' to run off with some unbelievable scumbag? Of course, this guy's pretty high up the scumbag chart, so I have to wonder how bad this chick's current boyfriend was that she said 'no' to old Stephfon.

You know this guy actually thought she might say yes.

Confucius say, "Man who goes to bed with sexual problem on mind, wake up with solution in hand."

You're welcome to talk to him about that- no need for me to play middleman. He certainly sounded interested when I mentioned this thread to him earlier, so it wouldn't hurt to send him a PM or something and see what's what. So far I've only taken it up Broad St while we were all out riding a couple days ago. Even so, it was pretty cool-- I plan on getting a chance to run it a bit next time we roll out to the country.

Getting there. We're going to fully synch the carbs this weekend; they're still a bit off. It's pretty damned quick though, for what it is.

I could try to talk Hob13 into trading that evil-looking Kanatuna he's got. Given how purdy that Sabre is, though, you probably wouldn't want it.

^That is fucking hilarious.

Yeah, but they're so much fun at the range! Mine's a little tackdriver at 25-50 feet, no prob. Best cheapass toy popgun you could ever get!
