Stop stealing all my good ideas!

I was at the Shefftucky QSL the other night with some friends and we're all of the opinion that this is at some point gonna breed fights in the crowd. These are all local knuckleheads with their own crews rolling up in the Lube. Mouths will run, egos will go unchcked and someone's skull is gonna get cracked. If they are gonna start having this kinda thing on Bike Nites, you won't find me any closer to QSL than I am right now.

Awesome Satan! As soon as this is set up, I'm in. My Mom celebrates 11 years of being cancer free this year after battling breast cancer in '97.

It's a lot like a taco, but just looks like someone's eaten it already.

PM me...I am looking for a side job, and my ancestors would be proud. And if I can't make it, my cousins can until it's strawberry season. Then again, if you saw my yard, you wouldn't think a Mexican lived there. And know that I am so rolling with this, dude. Don't take my jokes as picking at ya. I am being stared at by my co-workers who are wondering about my shit eating grin.

While the 51 is down for repairs, I intened to get my rims powder coated gloss black. Does anyone here have experience with a local shop, or even do it themselves? I have about 5 weeks to get the bike back up, and have wanted to get this done for a long time. Thanks for any and all suggestions and recommendations!

'ham, one of my boys in FL had the same bike, and down there, the weather is slightly more consistent, and we were re-jetting at least 2-3 times a year, and when we went to the Gap, doing just for that trip alone. It is lots of work to get that specialized with the tuning. If you love doing that kind of thing (he didn't, I do sometimes) it builds the relationship between you and the bike. But you have a girl with a bike, and my guess is you'd rather be out growing that relationship on the road. I'd go with the K&N in the stock box and roll that way. Leave that shit hot old school Fizzer tight like it is, bro!

Hola! Welcome to the chaos. More fun around here than a stucco bathtub!

I am not an internet stalker.......anymore..thanks to my ankle bracelet and some court-approved counseling.

Welcome to the fray! We absolutely need more schmucks around here to balance out the phucksticks like myself that are lying around. And for what it's worth, I will just go on the assumption that she is a good lookin' girl. Ugly girls that ride motorcycles don't have boyfriends. They have backfat, and lots of free time on their hands.

WERD!

Welcome to the board, man! A GREAT group of folks here. Trust me.

I will give a full report, but I know the GM Adam pretty well. I have bought most of my parts there and they all know me fairly well. But this is a whole new ballgame for me, so I will be quite attentive.

Sounds good! I'll get ya my info in a bit and we'll get to riding!

Honda of Avon is doing the estimate and anything major. I would like to some of the rest myself.

Thanks again gang. Yeah, JRMM, I live on Laurel Circle. That was a shitter too. I was 2/10 of a mile from home. I should know a lot more tomorrow when the report is ready. The more I think about this asshat, the angrier I get. And in the words of Bill Bixby, "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me if I'm angry." Going to tap the vicodin. Time to sleep.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. It sincerely means a lot, especially being a newb around here. Update on the wrist: Broke two metacarpals and the bone that extends from the base of the ring finger to my right wrist. Nothing requires surgery, so 6-8 weeks and I am good! The police report won't be available until tomorrow, but I am getting ducks in a row for a fight. If this guy did something this dumb on the street, he probably isn't any smarter about his insurance. Will get the bike pics up as soon as I can 'shop them down to something small enough for the post. Healing well and spirits are high. I am very lucky and things could have been much worse.

I live off of 83, just north of Ctr Ridge. (Mildred Dr.) I wa hit turning onto Mildred while on 83.

Earlier tonight, I had my first motorcycle accident in almost 20 years of riding. I had fallen down once or twice, but never hit. Well suffice it to say, my cherry (and a couple other things) have been busted. What makes it frustrating was that I was hit by some rookie biker who had his little cruiser less than a week. Here are the basics: I was riding on the 35 mph 2 lane road that my subdivision is connected to. I was on thr left side of my lane and went to make the right off of the road onto my SD side street and the guy behind me tried to pass me on the right as I slowed to make the turn. Mind you, the only way you can turn is right. Turn left, and you'll end up in a nursery's field. I had signaled, braked, and was leaning into the turn when he T-boned me. The bike lowsided, but it pitched me off in front of both bikes, of which mine caught up with me. At the scene, the guy said nothing, just stood around in disbelief. Thankfully, the folks who's yard I slid through the intersection into were in their driveway and called 911. And within moments, several witnesses were there all saying (or asking) the same thing..."Did this guy actually do that?!" My right side took all the damage on both me and the RC, save for a sprained left thumb. My right knee is sprained, but not too bad really. The worst damage is a broken right hand and possible damage to my wrist. (And yes, I am right handed.) I go see the ortho surgeon later today, and I have my x-rays on CD. But thanks to being shod in my armored leather, brand F*CKING new Oxtars, lid and SP-1s, I am relatively okay. I will be good to ride again. I feel like I was hit by a bus, not a bike, but the vicodin helps with that. The Mrs. stayed at the scene after the ambulance took me off, and her dad talked with the traffic CSI guys. The other rider (some greenhorn foreign guy) actually told the cops, "He hit me when I tried to pass him on the right!" He was cited, and apparently insured, but continued to argue with the cops that I turned into him. The cop eventually told him you don't get it, and quit arguing before they do more. I will know more when I get my copy of the PR this afternoon. The Mrs. happened to have our digital camera with her (and unfortunately our kids) and took tons of pics of the bike and the scene. I will post them as soon as we get them downloaded. Compared to a lot of guys, my accident is small time. I know I got off light for the most part. But were it not for my boots and CE armor in my sleeves, my right arem would have been shattered, along with my ankle. I am known to be the anal gear guy in my group...and thanks to being such, will continue to be once I get back on the bike. It was the difference between coming home from the hospital after a few hours and a few hours of emergency surgery. Thanks for lending an ear, and I will update things as they progress.

I m guessing he needs the money for habitrail reducers and Vaseline. Those poor unsuspecting rodents have no idea what's going to happen to them.

That's fecking great!

Wise words, fellow vet. And while it may be true that all of those in positions of autority are human, the acceptance of such autority is a conscious decision, as is the abuse of it. There are 10%'ers everywhere, be it on base, an aircraft carrier, or the local county hoosegow. And while our young Johnny Law here is just 20, we all know that to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid. So it's simply upon him to offer complete unadulterated copitulation, learn from his mistakes and stand up to say "my bad". And take the time to enjoy the giggle as he scrambles to put the toothpase back in the tube. Some of us can giggle as having made the same mistake at a young age, others simply by knowing better. Either way, just hope he comes around. We have a hard enough time fighting the knucklehead sterotype to The Man without having an inside guy perpetuating it. Go to the light, Carol Ann!

I was more concerned with your working conditions. That perhaps someone with a high-wall cubucle might not see you and turn left in front of you. But to stay true to the thread, rob, do you have a license to work in that cubicle?

A child molester is walking into the woods with a yound lad, when the boy exclaims "Man! The sun's going down and it's getting dark and spooky around here. I'm scared" To which the molester replies "You think you're scared? I have to walk out of here alone!"

Okay young rebel law man, question for you then. What do you tell someone who you've just pulled over who's DL has expired, say, a month or so ago, but tells you "I'm sorry officer, but I just haven't had the time to get it renewed." Do you let him go or do you hold him to the standards the rest of us are legally bound to? Believe me, I get being busy, and time being a luxury that isn't always afforded. (Wait until you have kids someday!) But do yourself a favor and make the time. Talk to your boss (being that upholding the law is his job too, perhaps he might be willing to accomodate a slight schedule adjustment so that one of his reports may find a way to be compliant with it) and enjoy the course. The $25 deal here in OH is great. I was lucky to have taken my MSF course in the military, but I was in FL at the time, and they charged $75 for it then, and that was 13 years ago.
