uh, yes they do. but my point was, you said "someone stumbling who barely knows what car is theirs". thats not .08
-
i said a person at .08 not .34 but yes. the person at .08 has MORE control than the texter. texting and driving is driving blind. you are 4 times more likely to have a crash at .08 than someone who is sober. you are EIGHT times more likely to have a crash texting than someone NOT texting.

IMO its uncomfortable because you havent ridden WITH them enough. if you have some motorcycle specific boots, they will not impair your shifting at all. those shoes you posted, they will be the very first thing to fly off in a crash. http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/03/Motorcycle_Crash.gif (also, dont go left of center) you may have more important parts to worry about when you go down indeed, but feet are not to be neglected. when that shoe comes off, and then your foot goes into the chain or the bike slides across your foot... do a google image search for "foot degloving" and see if thats a scene that you want to be a part of... they could rebuild it like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=998Hq7J_6NQ zero ankle support is not something you want either, its easy to end up like that guy in the sidi picture above your post, with his bone sticking out of his leg... just wear the gear damnit.

thats what they were going for. the VP of design at BMW said asymmetry was a theme with the bike. he said they liked the headlights on the GS and wanted to follow with that. http://cmgonline.com/images/stories/bikes/BMW/R1200GS_ADV/2008/bmw_gs-adventure-lfs.jpg the other side of the 1000 looks different too. the one side has the shark gills thing going on, the other has a big hole http://www.autoevolution.com/images/news/bmw-s1000rr-detailed-3827_1.jpg

they just introduced a bill to make it a 250 dollar fine if you crash b/c you're texting and driving. i say it should be more though. studies show that texting drivers are MORE imparied than drunk drivers. a person driving at the legal limit of .08 has MORE control than a texter. therefore, IMO the penalties should be the same. either texting and driving should be 6 months and 1000 dollars for your first offense, or a DUI should be 250 bucks.

Rider was fine. He got thrown into the bed of the truck. Probably cuts and bruises but he survived.

just go balls out and get the durbahn CF tail section. the entire thing weighs like 10 pounds. http://www.durbahn-gsxr.de/GSXR_Monocoque_4.jpg

try the moto sandal http://www.kratzmc.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/577_2.jpg ok seriously though. you want something that covers the ankle and somethign that will not fly off in a crash. go to iron pony and look around or something, like wnaplay said, they have lots of selection. whats your beef with boots? do you not like how they look? they not fit you right? remember, this is why you want boots: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g162/rainking1978/Motivational%20Poster/motivator1710180.jpg

if the hole is in the tread and not in the sidewall, then a plug is fine to get you where you wanna go, or until you get a new tire or whatnot.

Try to think of playing golf like making love to a beautiful woman. It's hard to do consistently and you probably suck at it. So accept that you'll spend life lying about how good you are.

all true. douchebags abound.

that sucks.

historical plates dont expire IIRC, so thats one advantage. also, you can use the model year plate, which is cool too... not sure if either of those apply for the collector plate though?

doesnt drink, doesnt like strippers... sounds like his wife lucked out and found a guy who is whipped before he is even married.
-
yes mortons is where its at. the top is excellent too. i love going in there. its like going back in time 50 years.
-
i had a guy tell me once "i dont wear a helmet because chicks wont be able to see my face". he also had flip flops on. but hey, its cool... chicks dig scars.

well, if you buy it brand new, it should come with an MSO (manufacturers certificate of origin) which you can use to register it and get the sticker.

yup. when you get called to jury duty, really you are being called to be in the jury pool. they have N people in the pool and they randomly select people to serve on juries when a case comes up. when you are in the pool, they dont ask you about any of your beliefs or anything like that. they just ask your name and have you sign in. if a case comes up and you get chosen then you go through a process called voir dire where the attorneys ask you questions. THIS is where you get to say you hate anyone who is of a different race and think that everyone should be put in jail. then you dont get picked, and you go back into the pool, and wait to be called again. when i did it a few years back (franklin county) it wasnt too terrible. i sat around and read for the first 2 days. they usually let us out at like 2 or so. i got called and picked for a jury on a criminal case. cops had a stakeout on some equipment rental place and saw this dude break in and load shit in his van. he plead not guilty. the first day of the trial the cops came in and told us what they saw. then we went to lunch. when we got back the judge told us that during lunch break he decided he wanted to change his plea to guilty, and we were done.
