  1. Some of those roads you mentioned are pretty good... Certain sections of 555 are cash money, but there's too much gravel and shit on most of it... That's why I liked 550 so much... Not quite as twisty as 555, but free of all the BS... Last week (IIRC) I hit 555 and the last section (from 550 to rt 7) had rifts of gravel in some of the turns that I kid you not, are 2-3" deep. Oh, and I refuse to ride the superslab any more than I absolutely have to (like inside 270)... I'd rather stop to rest my ass every 20 miles at the end of my ride than put myself to sleep on the highway... Though I have been known to rock the clovers every now and again...
  2. Wasn't Jesse James trying to build a hydrogen powered car to set a land speed record? Wonder whatever happened with that... Oh, and this is WAY cooler... http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060227/FREE/302270007/1023/THISWEEKSISSUE

    Computer issue.

    It might not read the USB floppy from boot... I'd just go in and adjust the BIOS... 20 seconds... max.

    Computer issue.

    Could you just save yourself some grief and use a CD?
  5. Other than yesterday with the group ride, all of my rides this year have been totally random... My general rule is get on bike and the the fuck out of dodge (town). Most times I try to get lost, which as made for some interesting stories (ask me sometime about Township Rd 36 in Athens)... Anyway, after EagleriderDRZ took me up Rt 60 yesterday, I had a hankerin' for some clean twisties... So today I headed out rt 62... Found that it was closed and I must of missed the detour sign... Thank god Hoggy's was there for me to cut through... Anyway, rolled out rt 62, which is straight and boring... Then hit rt 13 south. It starts off pretty straight and pretty boring, but livens up the further down you run it. I took it all the way to Athens... Stopped in Athens at some little bar place, don't recall the name... had a sandwhich... buffalo chicken and of course it fucked me up... Watched the last 10 laps of the GP race... Damn Fox coverage SUCKED!!! After eating I made my way back to rt 550 and took that all the way rt 7 in Marietta... Just turned around at that point and rode back. About 300 miles total over the course of 6.5 hours. Rt 13 is cleaner than I remember and 550 is a fucking dream! If it weren't for the questionable road surface in some areas that road would be perfect... I was getting MUCH faster as the day progressed, nearly to my detriment as my over-confidence and the evil bastard sun in my eyes caused me to run hot into a corner and totally jacked up my line... ran wide, but still had enough lean left to keep from testing my bike's off-road capabilities. A good reality check is needed every once in a while. Long story short, I highly recommend this route for anyone looking to rid themselves of their pesky chicken strips.... OH and I found out that the new Mustangs are not just cop cars in Transformers, but also somewhere near Marietta... I passed one right after I turned around at the end of rt 550. A little over 700 miles this weekend... Who's got me beat?

    Gamers?

    I am not much of a gamer, but I currently have 3 Xboxes and approximately 40 PS2's... Of course, I also do repairs and customization so most are broken and/or donor machines... That reminds me, I gotta get eBaying one of these days...
  7. So people flame a nut when a dog poops on the sidewalk, but when a 1,000lb horse shits all over the road, it's ok because they are Amish? WTF! I mean, Amish are expert carpenters right? Shouldn't they be able to build some sort of crap-catcher for their damn horses? Oh, and nice write up.

    Skunked!?

    I'm failing miserably!
  9. All that's left to do is actually put it in a wind tunnel and see if it works... I'll be impressed once I see that comparison... Some big words (1/2 the drag of conventional bikes )... Prove it.
  10. If he doesn't like to lean over much, then what's the point of a sportbike? Why not something like a V-Max? Those things are totally badass... Might be a bit much for a noob... How about a 250 or 500 Ninja? Sell the fairings on eBay...
  11. I'd play Pinnochio with her... She sits on my face and I tell lies.
  12. Mmmk. I don't think I know where any of those places are... lol... Well, except Kent... I do know Kent...
  13. Actually I have found that most bikers are not intelligent... Even the ones who are normally smart, sound people somehow become raging mongoloids with a bike under their butt... I know at times it brings out my inner dumbass.
  14. I usually go for 6-8hrs with a couple breaks for gas, water, and ass resting. I usually don't start this early though, so I'll go until it gets dark... I don't like riding at night (bad depth perception at night)...
  15. It may help to state where you are located...
  16. Meh... She's ok... Danica is WAY hotter.
  17. Thank you for gettting that song stuck in my head ALL DAY.
  18. If anyone is paying any attention to this thread... I just might show up... Marathon by Quaker Steak at 11:30am... Who all is down?
  19. BAHAHAHAHAH!!!! You sick fucker!!! LMAO!!!
