Moar fear!

Who uses a phone as an alarm clock at home anyway? I had that text messaging problem with my Android phone once. I was trying to reply to a text message from someone not in my contacts, and it insisted on sending it to someone else in my contacts list. I went through all the hassle of creating a new contact to send it, it looked like it went through ok, turns out it went to the wrong person and not the right one.

I really wanted one of these as my first bike after watching Nicky Hayden at my first AMA race at Mid-Ohio in 2002. One of the sweetest sounds I've ever heard. People talked me out of it and into an F4i.

What I look for in a bike night is drunken shenanigans to entertain me while I drink my beer. Guys doing burnouts and falling over on their way out of the parking lot. Stuff like that. I was highly disappointed the one time I went to QS&L and everyone was well behaved.

I love Beaver.

They are a little less professional than STT/NESBA, a little less organized, but a bunch of good people who care. Nelson is pretty laid back but Beaverun can get a bit chaotic when they fill it up, especially "Open" which becomes a big catch-all since "Instructional" is very hand-held and "Advanced" is for real racer-types.

According to their website, they are on schedule for a Spring 2009 opening. I'll bet a dollar I don't live in Ohio anymore by the time that MFer opens.

I'll bet a dollar that the bike cannot be seen in person in Middletown, OH.

Looks like he keeps busy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl3s73CM9zQ

That you're not the guy with the blind dog?

You work on alot of picnic tables? What else do you use standard for these days?

Who has a problem if a cop runs their plate? I don't. I think it's great. Hope those people worried about being "tracked" don't have credit cards or cell phones. You know what scares me? The amount of information that Google has on me, especially with an Android phone. I see Facebook trying to mine a ton of data on the web too.

Wow. Forgot about that. From now on I am writing all white-board notes at work in cursive.

Two years ago made a banzai trip for supercross. Left Thursday evening, got there around 9am Friday. Didn't realize how warm it was going to be, bought swim trunks and towel at Walmart, swam in the ocean, slept on the beach. Walked down A1A and found a motel with vacancy. Went to Daytona 200 Friday night, since I was there I couldn't *not* go. Left before that race was over - was tired, it was cold after the sun went down, and some may recall what a fiasco the race was. Crashed at the motel around 10pm. Woke up Saturday and went to supercross all day. Headed home straight out of the parking lot around 11pm, got home sometime Sunday evening. I missed the whole nighttime party scene because I was beat tired from the trip and the racing - I don't even think I drank a beer down there. The weather was a pleasant surprise, it was not so nice last year. All the bikes on the road were cool for about the first five minutes, then it just gets annoying. I don't know why you'd want to ride around down there other than to say you did, that you were part of the "scene". That weekend was the "end" of bike week. This year they are putting supercross at the beginning, and the roadracing at the end. They think this will bring more fans to the roadracing - I think they're dead wrong. The Daytona 200 Friday night was VACANT - and I bet half those people were there for supercross and just decided to swing by and check it out like I did. The Saturday supercross was PACKED. I couldn't believe the crappy seat selection we had first thing Saturday morning. No big deal, we bought a trackside upgrade and watched from the banking. Do they really think anyone is that big of a fan that they are going to spend the entire week in that hole to see both supercross and roadracing? I'm not. The AMA has been trying to get the rest of the bikeweek crowd up to the track for years without success, I doubt this will have any effect. "Daytona Beach" to me looks like a place that was built in the 70s and never, ever remodeled. Lots of vacant buildings down there. If it wasn't for Embry-Riddle and whatever other schools are around there the whole area would probably be totally trashed. I say let the college kids, bikers and NASCAR fans have it. Of course, if the weather and logistics work out again, I'd be down for a quick trip to watch the supercross. THAT is an awesomely unique event.

The fact that your only understanding of the scope of the job comes from some second-rate manual saying "its hard to do take it to a shop" makes me think you should take it to a shop.

Driving a car into the garage in the winter makes it wet. My toys don't like wet.

The livery The namesake The riders "You think I give a #%#$ I'm riding a pink bike? I'm 15!"

I vote for either: A) Baseball card in the spokes, or B) Blower motor/"Whistle-Tip" setup

I think they always have these, the price just jumps around $50 and $100 randomly. I think I paid $70 or $80 for mine. I always wonder the opposite - the canopy is for ME, the bike can sit out in the weather. I've had this FirstUp for 4 or 5 years. I guarantee it's seen some rough weather. I try to be gentle with it though and generally don't even set it up unless there is someone else around without a canopy that wants to help. Half the time I squat under someone else's. It's always in my truck at the track though.

Got me. I wonder if this thread would have gotten past 1 page had you not made that comment though...

I had Byers Toyota in Delaware do something for me and I was satisfied. I spelled out exactly what I wanted them to do and not to do though, so YMMV.

I would have four years ago, in the meantime I started playing Forza3. GT5 is a huge joke among everyone I know. I bought a PS1 just for GT and a PS2 just for GT3. I was a diehard Playstation guy until someone hooked me up with a cheap Xbox recently.

XBox due to Live online environment. Worth the money. Playstation online is game-dependent, but every experience I've had with it sucks.

Although this thread derailed into a measuring contest while I was at work, I just wanted to say that I agree with this 100%. Those of you who think F&F started the "car scene" were obviously not part of the pre-F&F car scene. You just showed up when a bunch of shitboxes with wings and fart cans brought the rave to the parking lot and got everybody kicked out.
