Excellent bikes! I've thrashed one mercilessly! I've got some spare parts laying around for one of those that I'd probably sell cheap. supertrapp exhaust, Dirt model forks and shock, 2 rear fenders. Heck, I've got a frame and a blown motor too (has kickstarter though) I've also got a GS500 Wheel/Rotor/Tire that some people have used to do a budget Sumo conversion (see Pookiebear on supermotojunkie/thumpertalk)

IMO, the presale/reserved seats are substantially better than the general admission tix. Something to think about if you're planning on going for the whole weekend. Also, don't miss the Flat Track races on Saturday night!

Were you over at turn 8 on sunday? I was up on the deck and saw someone with a shirt, but I didn't really feel like yelling at a stranger.

Except for the asshats with the explosives in the campground, it was a really good AMA weekend at mid-o!

I've ridden my un-plated 70's all the way to the carousel from the camping area every year without hassle. The only time I've been told to park 'em was at night.

You talkin about tar snakes? Chicken strips are the edges of the tire that you haven't used because you're too 'chicken' to lean it over that far.

Do it. those will be my next commuting/gravel tire for my WR.

My buddy lunched his DRZ motor by putting too much oil in after a change. I guess there's a tricky methodology with the oil in frame setup.

Well if you're going to give it back, you're pretty much required to fill it up with Rick Astley.

I drive an ice cream truck and thus I'm a pedophile. Wait, I think I'm doing this wrong...

If you enjoy Sriracha, you'll definitely like his thicker cousin:

Using a beverage for competition or binge drinking purposes doesn't make it "good", it makes it an effective tool. I drink plenty of cheap beer, it sucks, but it does the job.

And before the haters start reading off the labels there, let me just clarify: That's one of the beer cases at my favorite beer store, but I don't think everything they sell is better than Yueng, just most.

Cheap beer sucks. All cheap beer. Yuengling is like first place at the special olympics.

do they even still make zima? From BeerAdvocate:

I think this is a similar relationship to Yueng and Ohioans. The farther away/more elusive something is, the more desirable it becomes.

Good, now I won't have to listen to all the morons tell me "It's SOOOO GOOOD!! But you can't get it here!!1" That beer sucks, 1 step above budweiser.

ahh you not enteltained??

Out of curiosity, how'd you get caught?

A motorcycle endorsement will also increase your spelling and grammar abilities.

I don't think you got 'raped' per se, you just learned how expensive not being able to do your own maintenance can be. Also, some of your purchases were big-ticket items like the tire and oil-change materials and those would have cost about the same doing it at home.

all right, quoted.
