Nice vid, Pauly. Vai is that musical abstract artist that just makes unnatural sounds sound natural in his music. Even dug his stand in for Adrian Vanderberg with Whitesnake on Slip of the Tongue. Kinda like EVH's signature sound. SRV is my personal favorite. Will sit in the car to finish hearing his songs if I am at the destination I drove to. Had he lived long enough, could have been the greatest ever. But that seems to be the case with all of the great ones. Jimi was amazing, and Clapton is up there too. But you can't love Clapton and not think of his Buddy Guy influences. I'd give a nut to sit in a smoky pub and listen to Buddy Guy and B.B. King trade licks. And there is a reason that Les Paul had a line of guitars made with his name on them. How about Santana? That cat at the top of the thread though, that's some impressive stuff. For those that play, sometimes its nice to do without the rest of the band and enjoy how dynamic a simple acoutsic guitar can be in the right hands.

Half of what you just mentioned, and half of that town, really, didn't exist when I graduated from there.

Thoughts and prayers Justin's way. Heal up soon!!

I think I am good for the 17th. Might be a tad hung over early, but we'll see.

Depends on how much you're running your mouth.

Fixed that for ya.

That is the best use of the iPad I have seen yet.

Thanks, D'GRL. It was weird. I wasn't freaked out, wasn't hit too hard, and really just laughed it off. I guess it could have been more serious, but it wasn't so I haven't sat here saying "wow! am I lucky!" Its just one of those things that comes along with riding. But yes, screw that bird!

:lol:It must have been my conical white helmet that scared him up from the road.

Awww man, I shot Marvin in the face!

Would ya quit with the lagic, Matt? That has no place here!

Somewhere a village is missing their idiot.

I have loud ass pipes on the 51, and have never had an issue. Unless you are running open headers, I doubt you'd get ganked just for loud pipes while running about. Now, if you're blowing through some residential areas routinely and someone calls on it, then you might be 'sought after' in that area. I have found my pipes work better than a horn most times.

Silver, red & black. I think the bird overestimated his own ability to avoid me. The more I think about this morning, the more I laugh about it.

Given the events surrounding me having been hit in the head with a cornhole bag and the statue of limitations, I cannot elaborate. But yes, it was worth the laugh.

On the list, bro. Thanks for the heads up.

I have a friend in Fremont that I was in the Corps with. He got hit in the chest with a robin at about 35-40 MPH in just a t-shirt. (was on a HD sportster). Said you could see the outline of the head an beak in his chest surrounded by a nasty bruise. Since it hit right at the top of my visor, it was sort of a glancing blow. Felt like I got hit with a cornhole bag. Wasn't going to fast really.

Here I am riding to work minding my own busienss and FWAP! Take a black bird off the dome. It got spooked off the shoulder of the road, but I couldn't duck enough, or quickly enough I guess. Little scuffs on the lid, but nothing that won't polish out. Hit me just above the left side of my visor and pushed my head back like I was in a pillow fight. Laughed the rest of the way into the office. But the poor bastard spun to the ground behind me and dropped like a stone. It must have broke its neck, because it wasn't even flopping around.

Oh blame it on the gym. I has the kiddies tonight, so I am homebound.

Casper, you know I have a great deal of respect for you. But I cannot say that, unless the reference that your statement is used in refers to an establishemnt that specializes in foreskin and placenta centric mongolian barbeque, I cannot possibly agree. In my experience, the only thing the Waffle House is good for is staving off alcohol poisoning in the wee hours of the morning. But carry on!

Nice pickup, mang! I picked up my first Arai (Quantum2) last year and its my favorite helmet to date. Grew up on Shoei's and I would go back to them, but nothing tops my Arai. it replaced a Scorpion that got some cosmetic damage in a getoff on the street, so it sits on a shelf. I looked at the design you picked up when I bought mine, but the Quantum is the only Arai that fits my head comfortably. Now wear that thing out!!!

Then this is most certainly a case of someone getting one's foot broken off in someone's ass.

I am good, thanks. Both shoes are full.

Yeah, but you're luck it will be the next time you are in the back of a city-owned Crown Vic. Though, the way JRMMii tells it, she does like handcuffs on her man.

Bitchez ain't shit but hoes and tricks...
