Helmutt

I agree if he does return to WSB, he'll definitely be competitive and up towards the front. WSB isnt as tightly wound as the elite class so its surely easier for him to work with a lesser machine and still contend for podiums, especially at his experience/skill level. He complained Jorge got the Yamaha teams attention moreso than he did with equipment, setup, etc. but he went through the same situation as the Yosh Suzuki sidekick to Mladin so I never expected him to NOT persevere in GP like he did back then. Kind of wish Ben had never left Tech3 since their improvements have brought them closer to the front. He probably shared the same wish at some point throughout it all, but thats what hindsight does for ya:nono:

Farm-fresh hackwork, yet interesting - good luck stopping that thing with a single rear rimbrake from 35mph. Add a disc front and he may be on to something

Doesn't work on my Thunderbolt either

Not a bad first try at it, but if you are using my idea with the headliner spray adhesive you will surely have better results if you cover the entire notched area of the tank that your knee can have contact with - that way the protective pad will less likely to move or "smear" from the glued area since it would have a much larger bond to the tank sides. Nice ride by the way!

For home use or car audio? Couple guys at work are always buying/selling stuff and trading around, so I could hit them up if I knew what you're after bro

Possible that the intruder worked at the local pharmacy and picked up on the paraplegics home info there?

This

We need to hang out more looks like a good time

No doubt! I left there for that very reason, along with others that tend to be trends in small towns. Buncha drunken Nascar lovin' hicks at The End Zone SB&G!

Gorgeous Husky, she was definitely a beauty - special lil girl for sure. Please post up more pics so we can all memorialize her with you

Awesome! We need AB Decal to cook us up a few hundred. I'd drop cash on a few for the doors on the house and garage

This place is in the Akron, Canton, Cleveland area and they do custom motorcycle machining. http://www.davesenginemachine.com/index.html

I know the feeling, had to exact my revenge a few times but it was mild and mainly verbal bashings more than anything physical. I was a "B" crowd guy that had friends in all cliques. Probably why the hazings I did get were weaker than a lot of other guys:D Most of the time I didnt get phucked with because of my size and mean looks, but little did they know I'm just a teddy bear at heart I am one big softy until ya poke the bear one too many times

I went thru a bit of it, but nothing like other freshmen. Hard to beat some ass when you're held down by several big linemen, best to simply suck it up and tolerate the bullshit until its over or risk worse treatment. I stood up to a few Seniors when I was at the end of my freshman year, got a basketball kicked into my back by one of 'em. I waited until they walked away then speared the guy and steamrolled him into the mats on the wall of the gym. It just knocked the wind out of him but he didnt do shit the rest of the year and nobody else touched me after that incident. Then again, I went to Covington where the entire highschool only had about 350 students 9th-12th. Easier to maintain a reputation in a school that small

Nice - been a couple years since I'd visited this site. Good stuff

This is nothing like the hazings we got/did back in highschool. Freshman would get cornered in a locker room and repeatedly smacked in the face with the football teams jockstraps AFTER practice. Or held by a couple upperclassmen while a line of guys would take turns whacking the kid in the ass with rulers. We never kidnapped little kids, was always low-totem teens in our initiations. These boys should be sentenced to clean public bathrooms for a year over dumbshit like this

pics of the toys?

Congrats on keeping it on 2 wheels all weekend! Race 1 we watched from the hill in Thunder Valley, Race 2 from the grandstands. You were riding great man! Wife and I stopped and chatted with Grape in the pits on Sunday for a bit and he told me the power issues you guys had fought with, sucks too since the HP would have probably helped pull some more positions for ya. You guys planning to focus on getting more of that power back in the off season?

Your wife is attempting liftoff 'I baree I can fryyy, I baree I can tut da styyy!'

Aw, thats too bad - she is no longer suffering and you are a big man for doing whats best, although I'm sure it doesn't feel like it. Sorry for your loss man, tough time I know
