I am not old yet (I think, though compared to you, probably), and going blind because of my kitten killing activities. Mom said I would end up that way.

ka-BAM! that would taste like shit.

Wait...we do have a virgin. Where is gen3 at?

Its not that we don't want to, its just so hard to find a virgin nowadays.

You feel bad because your age is the exponential equivalent of the median age of our members here. But think of it like this; it makes you the village shaman.

How the hell did you eat 6 BLTs last night anyway?

If bitches didn't have snatches, there'd be a bounty on them.

One would think that with your constantly bruised pimp hand, you wouldn't be able to convey the ropes to shuttle your ass around.

Your bike, biznatch!

:plus1:for sage advice. I doubt you'd be bored at all with the YZF over the next year, and once your skills are improved over the next year or so (and you progress through school) then you'll be better suited to look at perhaps a newer R1 or something of that ilk.

I am familiar with that area. Used to work over that way. Sounds like quite the accident.

Yo mama has so many missin teeth it looks like her tongue is in jail.

Yo mama is so fat her BMI is measured in acres.

I have ridden both, and have taken both through Deal's Gap. Honestly, its hard to conceive that the R6's lineage passes through the YZF, but that's not an indictment of the YZ. The R1 was like riding a kiddie bike with regard to the riding position, as it felt like I was right over top of the front wheel. But I have yet to ride anything that was as nimble as that R1. It was as if it was on rails, and made nice power. The YZF was more to me like a VFR. Much more upright riding position, very comfortable. Was respectable for power for a 600, but obviously not an R6 or Gixxer 600. I liked it though. I would have one for commuting, and even on longer spirited rides. The guy who owned the one I rode used to run the Gap like he was on rails. So it has plenty of sporty ability. Obviously, anyone here who owns one will be able to give you better details now, but since I have been on both and you asked, this is my $.02. $3k for that YZF just sounds a little pricey to me, though. I would have thought $2300, maybe $2500. Its 12 years old, and though the miles are relatively low, its a 12 year old bike. On the R1, depending on how well he maintained the bike over 29k miles would be my question. Either way, good luck with whatever you're hunting for.

Gotta say, I am pretty well versed in off-the-wall lingo, and twatwaffle is a new one for me. Thanks for the new knowledge, Don!

Pulling into my neighborhood yesterday there were a pair of bikes sitting at the stop where I was turning left into. On dude on a mid 2000s gixxer 600 and a dude w/girlfriend mounted on back of a ZX9. The kid on the gixxer was in jeans, boots, t shirt, but helmet. The pair on the 9...she's in a tanktop, shorts, and sandals, the squid pilot in shorts, t-shirt and sneaks. Before could say it myself, my 9 year old son blurted out "Get a helmet on, squid!" Guess I am beginning to rub off on Junior.

37. Some days the bod feels it, some days, 27. And like the rest of you, I act 16. As aften as possible.

Happy Birthday, mang!!

That is hilarious, and yet incredibly wrong on many levels.

Is that you John Wayne? Is this me?

^^ Soul brudda too beaucoup.

All of this banter reminds me of an old joke. Some union types were having a convention in Vegas one year, and one of the presidents there decided he was going to local house of ill repute and sample the wares. Upon his arrival he meets the madame and says, "Good evening ma'am, I'd like to sample your wares, is this a union esptablishment?", to which the madame replies "No, sir I'm sorry its not. But the one across the street is." He then thanks her for her honesty and decides to call upon said establishment across the street. While he's walking over, the madame from the first house calls the one to which he is headed and explains that he's coming over looking for a union house, and go along with it. The second madame agrees and hangs up just before the union boss arrives. He again greets her with the same question of the first madame, and the she replies "Yes sir this most certainly is a union establishment, please come in." He does, and she calls for the girls of the house to line up, and there is quite a selection of by and large some very beautiful women. After a few moments to ponder his selection, the fella points to a sexy doll says "I do believe I'll take that tall sexy redhead in the middle", to which the madame replies "Bullshit. You'll take the dumb, dumpy one on the end, she has seniority."

Winar!

I dunno, I'm kinda torn here. Myself, I have never been a part of a union, probably because I have never been in a line of work where it was necessary. But I have been in industries where it was, and since I have close relationships with folks like teachers and policemen, I am aware of incidents that had they not been unionized, the individual would have had a much longer uphill battle all on their own. At that point, litigation is much more expensive than union dues. But with a union comes politics, and anytme politics is involved money is highest common denominator, and rates above even things like pride and integrity. This is obvious, or unions wouldn't be a business interest of The Mob. Those fine business folk rarely find themselves dabbling in such endeavors such as child care or PC repair. At any rate, unions can and will be both necessary evils or legitemate advocates for one type of trade or another. But like the NBA, they are easily fixed and don't always distribute their wealth evenly. One thing that does rack me up about unions are how patriotic they claim to be, speak of things like democracy and freedoms, yet most are akin to a caste system. Kinda funny.

Oooh, another good one..Sneakers w/Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier and River Phoenix.
