welp went out and everything went better than expected. Even did a couple tamer roads in the Valley and she did everything well and I did better than expected as well. Once I got past me being nervous and her telling me she wasn't nervous anymore it was relaxing and felt almost like riding solo
that one actually looks pretty heavy duty! I can't imagine they'd weld up another receiver to haul other stuff if it couldn't handle it. Personally no matter how heavy duty I don't know that I'd trust one on a full size motorcycle
i just prefer drinking entire bottles of captain then heading to a bonfire before being handed a cup of something by Max and Casper and told drink this. Next thing I hear "you idiot you aren't supposed to chug that" then being drunk for the next 12 hours
If you're a bigger guy, I was told the 696 will be quite under powered. I was looking at Monsters and was swayed from them for this reason. I never did ride one so I don't know how accurate that is
well between the 2 of us we have too many damn hobbies and toys so the jet ski is always the last thing on the list since it gets used the least. Its just an old pos WetJet couch but it was basically given to us. The hardest part is finding parts for the damn thing and I think that is part of the hold up
watch groupon and dealnews as scotch rocks have deals all the time. My roommate uses them a lot as he drinks a shit ton of scotch. I prefer it with ice cubes because I'm a wimp. But in reality I cannot drink it straight because of my heartburn issues
I will indeed have 20% down as not to deal with PMI garbage thankfully! They were kind enough to have a sheet with the last year history of all utilities! This was my 2nd look at the house so I think they know I'm interested and doing what they can to help and this is why I gave in and decided to get a house thats only 5 years old. Could've gotten bigger and land but all the houses were damn near 50 years old and I wasn't about to deal with that shit. However, yes I'm aware shit goes wrong even with newer houses so there will be a substantial "fuck this shit" fund This is the exact reason I've been looking for 7 months and nothing has come to fruition until this week. If I get it for what I want, I'll be the least expensive house on the street as well as paying well under market value for a premium lot in this neighborhood you couldn't give me your house for me to move anywhere near Columbus! That is exactly what my plan is. If I can keep the mortgage, taxes, insurance and HOA to 1 weeks pay or just slightly above I will be more than comfortable
I'm looking at a house today for the 2nd time and probably goin to put in an offer. This is my first house so I want to make a mock budget up so I can figure out my best offer. What am I missing? Up front: down payment, closing costs, realtor fee, title transfer? Monthly: mortgage, taxes, HOA, insurance, utilities
thanks Tonik and Magz, thats the sort of extra info I'm looking for. I'm sure she will be fine but I can absolutely see her wanting to look in every damn direction and not paying attention to the leaning lol
I'm not too worried but I'm always looking for advice from people who have more experience than me. She's got her heart set on tomorrow evening and I already gave her the "lean when I lean don't try to counter balance" speech last night as I know that much. The VFR has the grab bars so I think that will help but I get the feeling at first shes gonna be a bit nervous and wanna hold on to me We'll see how things progress but I'm slow enough solo, I can't imagine how bad I'd be with her on it. I can't figure out if I'm more worried about her getting hurt or laying the bike down and having to tear it down, get it painted and put it back together again
...ride 2 up! The girlfriend has been bugging me to take her for a ride and I've been putting it off but alas the time has come. The problem is she's never been a passenger and I've never had one. So all tips and suggestions are very much welcome for myself as well to relay to her
ah yes, you my friend are experiencing "road snobbiness". If it wasn't for my gf bugging me to finally take her for a ride, mine woulda been washed waxed and covered tonight since I know damn well it would sit for a couple weeks
most people have only had the low grade wild turkey which is indeed awful. The 100 proof is terrible yet awesome at the same time and the American Honey is the best flavor of their line.
i've only had it as shots. I like it almost as much as Wild Turkey American Honey. I'm not a big whiskey drinker because it gets me a drunk that most people don't like and then I don't like having to clean up whatever mess I made of hurt feelings when I'm hungover
