  1. I'm gonna pop wheelies without a helmet in shorts and sandals.
  2. lbts. If you've still got it around tax time, I'd probably bite.
  3. I doubt it. I've had it to 85, and it doesn't feel like it has much left to give at that speed. Maybe if I lost 40 pounds. I've read that it tops out at a little more than 90.
  4. Heh. Actually, I bought the bike in May, it had 6400 miles on it.
  5. Remember, I ride a cruiser. Riding on the yellow line is easier on the oil.
  6. It looks like a blast for the first 25 seconds.
  7. That was the one that was funny.
  8. Come on, now. I'm sure she had a good reason.
  9. Fox News is pretty famous for this. Where was the other side of the debate? Why did they bring in someone who knows nothing about riding a motorcycle, and who suggests that the parents should be investigated by social services, but offered no one to provide any real counterpoint? This is one of the reasons that Fox News gets so much criticism. That said, I was pretty angered by that video. Enough so that it's really hard to formulate any kind of decent response, beyond "Who does she think she is?"
  10. How to tell new riders: Wave to them when they're sitting at intersections. The new riders are the guys who stall.
  11. I'll keep them in my thoughts, that sucks. I hope they pull through.
  12. Ha! I've already seen them once this tour, one of the best I've ever seen. Shame I had to miss them last night, but both time and money are tight.

  14. http://www.facebook.com/csgauthier I've never added anyone from here, though. Some people get all creeped out about virtual strangers adding them on social networking sites.
  15. Ha! I tried to answer a call today on my way to work (my headphones are bluetooth, and also function as a headset for my iPhone - answering the phone is just a touch to my ear) when my ex-wife called me. She couldn't hear a thing (I could hear her just fine). It's too hard to have a cell conversation on a motorcycle. You should just text message instead.
  16. The project is primarily a cultural center, with prayer space inside, not even technically a mosque (a mosque is, by definition, a building dedicated to worship). That said, I don't see why it would make a difference either way. Aside from zoning issues (which are non-issues, anyway), I can't think of any good reason to oppose the project. In fact, I don't think I've seen someone in the media give a single reason for opposing this project that wasn't ultimately based in ignorance and bigotry. That's not to say that everyone who opposes the project is a bigot, but that doesn't mean that they don't have opinions rooted in bigotry.
  17. Most of the crappy moves I've seen have been made by guys on cruisers. But at the same time, for whatever reason, I see more cruisers than anything else in my area, by far. I have a feeling that because cruisers are just more comfortable, that's what casual riders want. So you end up with crappier riders. That said, I ride a cruiser, and have scratches all over my floorboards and highway bars - I'm not sure what this silliness about leaning is all about.
  18. It's a chick, on a VStar 650 Classic. She should have her children taken away. Not because of she strapped her kid on the back of her bike, but because she gave her kid no choice is riding on a bike with fringe on the handlebars.
  19. Sport bikers think that helmets are cool and sexy? That seems like a crappy reason to choose to wear a helmet.
  20. Will it? I haven't really seen any studies on this, and I'm not sure that it would be really possible to conduct any.
  21. I think there's only a war on your right to fish with a rifle.
