---->A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.

"But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

---->There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win.

Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Police warn all clubbers party goers and unsuspecting pub regulars to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.

A new date rape drug on the market called "beer" is used by many females to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available almost anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, from taps and in large "kegs". "Beer" is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them.

Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of "beer" and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several "beers" men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual acts on horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking "beer" men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that something bad occurred.

At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings in a familiar scam known as "a relationship." It has been reported that in extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "marriage". Apparently, men are much more susceptible to this scam after "beer" is administered and sex is offered by the predatory female.

Please! Forward this warning to every fellow male you know.

However, if you fall victim to this insidious "beer" and the predatory women administering it, there are male support groups with venues in every town where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter in an open and frank manner with similarly affected, like minded guys. For the support group nearest you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the yellow pages.

My first helmet was a GMAX. It had a light on the back that would flash. It was a fairly decent helmet but after a while, I had some trouble with the light. Other than that it's still a good helmet. I still have it in my closet in case I need a back up. The next one I bought was an Icon Alliance SSR in black rubbatone. Love that helmet. I bought the Yellow Hi-Viz version of that helmet and that's what I rock right now. I love my Icon helmet.

Not THAT type of KY.

Yeah... disappointed.

I'm rolling on a Kawi Ninja 650. It has a more upright riding position while still maintaining the sport look and feel. I'm dying to get my hands on a new Ninja 1000! Same upright riding position with an ass load of power!

Always. Full gear at all times and I'm always looking ahead to see what other drivers are doing. Gotta anticipate. But man was it fun

Sounds pretty good to me!

The first real "incident" I had was ALL my fault. I had only been riding for a few weeks and was getting comfortable with the bike. I was going to fast and there was an old guy in front of me who must have missed his turn. He hit the brakes hard and busted a U-turn. I was going to fast and was way too close. Had to panick stop. Locked up the rear wheel. The pucker factor was through the roof! Luckily, nothing happened but, I learned to NEVER get comfortable on the bike. I think I might have even made the old man shit his pants!

Man! Saw the title for this thread and I thought that it was going to go in an ENTIRELY different direction...

Apparently Biker Hobbits are also skilled Ninjas.

Active duty Coast Guard here. Prior Army Reserves... AIRBORNE! (Just a 5 jump chump.)

Forget the other services bro! Come to the Coast Guard. We have cookies!

nobody ever truly recovers from getting drowned in semen. why won't anyone listen to my brilliant idears?

I just... I mean I don't even know what to say to that... WOW!

BUKKAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Both parties are all about spending money. Don't fall for this idea that the Democrats are doing it right. They're both equally inept.

+1

Snakes and liars all.

yAY!!!! GUNS!!!

The bullet did the actual killing. While the gun surely played it's part, the REAL hero here is the bullet. yAY!!!! BULLETS!!!

The opening few seconds of “Closer to the Edge” take you deep into what makes the TT both uniquely attractive - and suicidally dangerous. The onboard camera gives a rider’s eye view from the start on Glencrutchery Road, down Bray Hill at 160 mph and on to Quarter Bridge. Seen from this perspective – and the footage, genuinely, is not accelerated for effect – it is truly terrifying. And what’s this stretch of road like when it’s not a race track? Quite simply an imperfect, urban road threading its way past front gardens and round the entrance to a pub.

To understand the TT it is helpful to do a small piece of practical research. Blink once. In the time it took you to close and open your eyes, a TT rider would have covered slightly more than the length of a school bus.

Now, say: “One and two.” That’s the old school way of counting one second. In that single second, most TT racers will have ridden the length of a football field.

“Closer to the Edge” is an important film - not only for fans of bike racing but also for motorcycling in general, because director Richard De Aragues has made the first bike movie since the original “On Any Sunday” to have a genuinely universal appeal.

Like “On Any Sunday’s” Bruce Brown, De Aragues is a thoroughly sound, professional film maker with a comprehensive understanding of what is needed to make a good movie. With a background based in high budget commercial and promotional films, De Aragues clearly has the technical and artistic skills to produce a thoroughly good product but additionally, and importantly, he is a bike fan. This is evident in the affection he shows to his “cast” of TT superstars.

De Aragues is bold and brave as well. He skates right up to the edge of sentimentality by including scenes of great poignancy and tenderness. I had to hold back the tears as 15 times TT winner John McGuiness described how he mowed the lawn and tidied his house before he left for the TT, “…just in case.” And this “just in case” could easily mean death.

There is also a wonderfully gentle and sensitive scene where Bridget Dobbs, the widow of New Zealand rider Paul Dobbs who was killed in the 2010 Supersport race, expresses her thanks to the TT for the pleasure it has given to the family and how much she misses it.

Riding this near to the emotional cliff edge is fraught with danger for any documentary maker, but De Aragues executes his task with consummate grace and dignity.

De Aragues did have one enormous slice of luck in having Guy Martin as a central thread in the film. Martin is a parody of the “Man of the People” – Bob Dylan with a Superbike.

We follow him from his rural home in central England through arguments with his long suffering sponsor Wilson Craig; arguments with race officials over the validity of his competition license; arguments about riding his race bike illegally through the streets of Douglas and, most dramatically, arguments over breaking a pit lane speed limit incurring a penalty which cost him a place on the podium.

Martin is indulged by De Aragues like a spoilt brat at a birthday party - and the English rider responds with a virtuoso performance of eccentricity. Only when Martin assiduously describes to the camera when and where he masturbates does the fondness and affection for his star become pure sycophancy as we are encouraged to worship the rider’s enormous ego.

The Isle of Man TT is a race like no other. Props go to De Aragues for capturing the spirit and passion that surrounds the race in his film 'TT3D: Closer to the Edge."Ian Hutchinson is a wonderful counterpoint to Martin. The modest, quiet spoken, professional racer simply gets on with the job of winning 5 TTs – whilst Martin sulks, complains, blows up bikes and then crashes in the most spectacular way possible. If De Aragues had been able to cast these characters he couldn’t have done better.

Throughout the film there are action scenes which cause you to catch your breath. Conor Cummins bouncing over the top of the Verandah at 170 mph is horrifying - as are the slow motion shots of bikes snaking and sliding between stone walls and alongside groves of utterly immoveable trees - contact with which means certain death.

Throughout the film De Aragues shows courage in his decision making and largely this pays off. American Jared Leto acts not so much as a conventional narrator but more of an omniscient observer – never intrusive and never cajoling the viewer into adopting an opinion. Probably Leto got the job because the film needs to sell in America but his calm, unemotional, slightly distant narration is impeccable – as is his pronounciation of English place and personal names. This calmness is essential. What we don’t need is a hysterical, hyperbole riddled tirade telling us how dangerous and addictive is the TT. Leto’s almost dispassionate delivery starkly exposes the facts – and this is exactly what is needed.

What does not work so well is the 3D. This visual trickery is fine for cartoons but the narrative drive of this film is so strong, and so elegantly executed, that it doesn’t need any gimmicks to help it. The bikes don’t look any more real than they appear on conventional film and wearing plastic glasses is an unnecessary irritation.

However, the 3D element is a trivial distraction compared with the pleasure of watching not only the finest motorcycle racing film for decades but, almost more importantly for our sport, a very fine piece of cinema in its own right. Don’t miss it.

“Closer to the Edge” is currently negotiating for US release and we will bring you precise details when they are available.

Ever been on a ride and Johnny Law decides to stop you and, some of the guys in your group don't have endorsements, so they decide to run? Can you imagine how pissed off this makes Johnny Law? Can you imagine how pissed off those that stopped were? Good Times!!!

Now I usually ride solo down here in Florida. I guess you could say I'm a one man wolf-pack.

Dang it! Can't see it at work.

It goes both ways.

Hmmm.... KINKY!

Geraldo Rivera said something similar about Obama being dead...

Damn! The Seals went after the wrong Muslim!

It's too late to ask, but you think Osama was a '2' or '288' guy?

LOL

But, seriously, while I don't think Obama should get the credit for this, I don't care whether he does or not. He's still not a friend of the military or this country for that matter. He still doesn't have a snow ball's chance in hell of getting re-elected. One "atta boy" doesn't erase years of "Oh shit" moments.

I got a Ninja 650 and I try to ride it as much as I can cause even when I ride it hard, which is most of the time, I'm getting better mpg than my Honda Accord but, I've got a wife and 2 kids to haul around too. If I could just get her to get her own bike and then we could haul the boys around 2up!

Complete bull-shit man!

AP – In this comic book image released by DC Comics, Superman is shown in the latest of issue of Action Comics …

– 2 hrs 9 mins ago

PHILADELPHIA – Superman has started a stir with a bold declaration he intends to renounce his U.S. citizenship in a move aimed at giving him more global clout and authority.

The decision is made in a short story in "Action Comics" No. 900. It has caused consternation online among readers who liken the Man of Steel's declaration to go before the United Nations and "inform them I am renouncing my citizenship" to abandoning the ideals of truth, justice and the American way.

DC Comics said Thursday the Kryptonian superhero isn't abandoning his adopted country. It says he's putting a global focus on his never-ending battle against evil and trying to keep a world that's not his safe.

I'm not complaining, its fun, fuel costs and the rising cost of everything will shove the economy back into the hole for sure... .. which shouldn't be a big surprise

Preach on brother!

We're paying $3.91 down here in the Keys! I thought THAT was high...

Sounds Sick!!!

I haven't gone through all the pages to see if it's on here yet but, my brother has

"RU18YET" on his Camaro. I'll try to get a pic.
