  1. I'll tell ya what I did notice. If you don't get those curb feelers off yer footpegs you won't have to worry about the pipe clearance, becuase you'll plop that thing down on its side. Just ask Cooter about Gingerman. (Sorry, bro. Just trying to save another OR guy from that pain.)
  2. The way he tells it, you need to work on your kegels. Apparently its like throwing a hot dog down the hallway nowadays. So what did you eat to make yourself so sick? FP sucks big time.
  3. Looks nice! I'm interested to hear them. I have Leo Vince's on mine and love the sound. Had some Two Bros CF and they were just too loud. Like a fat chick falling down a metal staircase.
  4. Very sorry to hear about this. Condolences to the family and friends, as he was way too young.
  5. You guys are bringing back some fond and funny memories from the birth of my two. I watch both of mine enter the world through my favorite plaything, blood, guts and all. The only thing that I could have gone without seeing was the delivery of the placenta. And the epeziotomy (sp.) for my son (kid #1) sounded like he was cutting construction paper. Then I got smacked for telling the doctor "hey, don't stitch that up too snug, I just got it broke in!" Not one of my better moves. Then when my daughter was born with a head full of long black hair, she looked like one of those 70's troll dolls that had been jello wrestling. But a few moments with a washrag revealed a beautiful baby girl, and right then I knew my life was f'ed beyond my capacity for control. Lots of luck, Sno!!!!
  6. If I was in C-bus, I'd bid big time. Done all that for a few years where I am, but someone else held the supervisor title and took the money home.
  7. Dude, I love the old FZRs. Guess I have a soft spot since that was my first sportbike I bought all growed up, but it was a fun bike. Simple, slow, but fun and comfy. Wouldn't mind having another one to keep in good condition for my son when he's eventually of riding age.
  8. Its a shame that they broke up over a man, really. Though on the flip side, being that they are now both imprisoned, they should each get plenty of trim for the foreseable future.
  9. A headfull of hair! She's gorgeous. Best of luck and hope mama is doing well. And if anyone asks when the next one is coming and she wants to punch them in the gonads, you let her punch them.
  10. This has all the makings of a Tosh.0 web redemption.
  11. Awesome! Have two of my own and there aren't words to articulate what its like for me. Won't let ya in on all the secrets. Some of it, you'll just have to figure out on your own. We all did, and sometimes, that's what makes it as much fun as it is.
  12. BAAA-A-A-A-A-A means NO.
  13. I see we need to do a charity poker run. And I found the original of Snoman's pic here: [ATTACH]1888[/ATTACH]
  14. Maybe Momma 'Bron felt sorry for DeLonte and the spilled jelly birthmark he sports. That was harsh. I am not against birthmarks. I sorry. Forgive me, oh Lord.
  15. This was part of the downfall of my marriage. The ex told me the above line all the time. I disagreed.
  16. Holy shit! Did that just come out of the crate?

    Metallica

    All a biz = sellout (and not the filled seats kind). A true artist doesn't cater to the market. They play their craft. When you cater to the market, you're no longer an artist, your a suit. Love Metallica, though not all their stuff. St. Anger was atrocious, but they purposely went with that sound, and I respect an artist that does that. But Lars is all about the benjamins. But he came from a good bit of money from daddy's tennis days, so its what he knows. HUGE fan of how Robert Trujillo sounds with them though. That dude flat out rocks. Makes them sound like they did back in the Burton days.
  18. Incredible display of talent. That is some nice work!
  19. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
  20. Tar snakes are #1 in population in Lorain County amongst all reptilian-like road hazards. And they grown them thicker every year. So, to add to hummin's statement about them being death when wet, they are crap when its dry and hot as hell out, like the past couple weeks. It might as well be crude oil seeping up through those cracks. Y'all be careful out there!
  21. First off, before you go chucking everyone into a lot as to how one fan or another thinks or feels, check yourself. Not all of us are pissed because he's gone, or even pissed at all. Second, as it was just stated, LeBron didn't pick Cleveland, the Cavs picked him. Its kinda how the whole draft process works. Third, the reason this article is worth discussing is that for three players subject to a collective barganing agreement, the same one the owners are subject to have virtually admitted that plan was set into motion couple years ago, and to come to fruition required a certain amount of effort on their parts. Had ownership done something along those lines, it would be considered collusion, and the players union would have a field day shredding the owners' establishment. The question worth asking is if the shoe being on the other foot and this activity coming from the players' side of the fence considered the same? They absolutely had the right to sign deals that expired the same year, and the teams they all signed with agreed. (A good bit of that might have been just as beneficial for both sides, as the CBA ends after this season.) But they orchestrated a plan, some may argue that its final pieces of which were done before the playoffs ended and the last week leading up to free agency, that had a negative effect on not just Cleveland, but other teams as well. Chicago jettisoned a player simply to add cap space because they were led to belive they were in positon to add one or two of these players. The Knicks (in typical Dolan wisdom) started their cap cleasinsg process two years ago. And while some have the right to argue they didn't have to, they had to if they wanted to be players in the free agent sweepstakes that was understood to be a buyers market. But if there were meeting, meetings in play that involved team representation, and agreements about taking reduced contracts in order to get onto the same squad, that is a potential anti-trust violation and in direct conflict no doubt with the terms of the CBA. At the bare minimum, it is a defection by Miami from acting in good business faith with their partners in the NBA, and sure to draw warranted criticism and inquiry from their fellow ownership groups. Years ago, teams and the union negotiated the infamous Bird Rights into the CBA, allowing a team to offer more money (the greatest incentive in all the world, not winning championships) to its star FA players in order to keep them. The teams and the league recognized it is far better for the league and 'sport' as a whole to have stars in as many cities as possible. The union loves it because it gets the most moeny avaiable for its biggest stars. The teams love it because it gives them the opportunity to maintain a competitive balance talent-wise. So if Riles is having Wade collude with his boys, aided by the son of the owner (who now is a front office exec for said team), they have both managed to circumvent and fly right in the face of all that amendment in the CBA stood for, and the compromise it took to acquire it. In most unionized occupations, that is an anti-trust violation. But even if the NBA has an exemption from anti-trust laws, it is an act that is not in good faith with the goals and aspirations of either side of the ownership/players union relationship. While it will ultimately end up being something David Stern will turna blind eye and deaf ear to, it is something worthy of discussion. But Stern won't because as they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity. And this whole free agency farce had the sports world talking about the NBA when nothing more than insignificant summer league games are being played. And while the conversation reeks of impropriety and casts the entire league in a negative light thanks to the mockery made of it by LeBron, Wade, and Bosh (who, by the way, is the ultimate backpack in this entire story), Stern will willingly accept that. He is commissioner of a sport that has enjoyed its irreverence to common sense, and is by far the easiest to fix. He's gladhanded his way past indiscretions in judgement before, and this time will be no exception. So Heat fans can enjoy their moment of glory. Just know that, like most deals in South Beach, it wasn't done above board, but behind closed doors and with misdirection and outright deception. And the sad reality is that while the greatest victim of this aren't legions of loyal Cavs fans, or spurned bridesmaids like Chicago and NY, its the integrity of the NBA. However, that has been a long suffering victim in professional sports, and its caretaker David Stern wouldn't have it any other way. So go ahead and start making your plans for ticker tape parades in South Beach now before the season starts. Just know that for every season in the next 5 that the Heat don't win it all, the sound of laughter you hear isn't just coming from Cleveland, its from across the country. And perhaps across Lake Erie from colder climes.
  22. That's a great shirt! Here is an interesting read. Were it not penned by Brian Windhorst, I'd not bother, but Windy is usually pertty close to the truth (much closer than the talking heads at ESPN). If the basics of the story is legit, the NBA has some essplainin' to do. And as mad as the Cavs might be, NY and Chicago might be even more pissed, with how they gutted their rosters. Does this have a scent of conspiracy theorists to it? Yeah, a little. But after the self-righteous egofest LeBolt just put on and his "I am all that is the NBA" attitude, what would make him think he, Bosh & Wade couldn't get away with it? http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2010/07/inside_the_decision_miamis_cou.html
  23. Cut him some slack. Not everyone here shows up with complete knowledge of all things motorcycle. In fact, its kinda why a lot of folks show up. Humm....they are exactly what IP said. They are also where you put your hands and feet on the bike. Or a chick.
