Nice shot.....Like the blue high mounts! How'd you get your sig on the bottom?

ok that WAS funny. +1 That WAS funny!!! You mean everybody....or most....on THIS site??? 'Cause YOUR site definately does not seem to That seemed to be mutual from what I could tell. CBRGirl07, for one, seems pretty aggressive Ummmm.....Hella posted his # and invitation to call.... in ALL CAPS no less He also said some other stuff after that Gix. Provoked or not.....innuendo or not....He's not a complete bystander here The video that started this whole thread wasn't shot on a track Fair enough....That's why I registered Ohhhh wait.....You just rescinded the offer in the next sentence. If your "bitchy,whiney scared people" comment is aimed at my post about Jeff......Like I said.....Call me what you want...I don't care. I lost him..... but gained a hard lesson I was trying to share with others Again.....Hella invited him to by posting his # on a public forum....So not exactly a bystander there

I see you've followed my Dale Carnegie course on "How to Make Friends & Influence People" on other websites Nick NOW that's "Oh SNAP!!".....I was actually waitin' for that one....See it comin' from a mile away

I've been blessed with good luck before, by showing up dressed appropriately.......nice shirt, khaki's, sometimes even a suit & tie......be respectful of the judge, plead "no contest" & ask to speak, or do so when offered "if you have anything you'd like to add".......Plead your version of the facts. I've even asked the judge's advice before......."Your honor......I think there's a mistake on this ticket & don't agree with the officer's assement of such, but I don't really want to waste anymore of mine or the court's time pursuing this further by pleading "Not Guilty", so should I plead "No Contest" & ask mercy of the court"? This has usually opened discussion about what happened, and allowed me to tell my side....Sometimes without even entering a plea yet. I have noticed before that there are usually rep's of the Troopers, Sheriffs, & Towny's in the back, with writeups from the citing officers for the cases being heard that day......So the judge has deferred to them for "their side" before.....Even though they may not physically be there. Point being.....If you got shiddy with the LEO, he may have put it in his notes for the judge to read. If the judge is lenient, I've been lucky to get off with court costs, and even got the points waived once or twice. When he's said "fine waived & pay court costs"......I hurry up & politely ask if there's any way he can waive the points so my insurance doesn't go up. There was one judge who told me last year he's not allowed to do that, but several others have agreed to it. I think they have to write it on the paperwork though, as several have....Otherwise there's no record of it. Again.......Polite/Respectful, humble, well groomed, speak clearly/articulately....No mumbling/slang. Image is everything. Common sense stuff...You got tatts.....Cover 'em up. You got piercings....Take 'em out. Compared to some of the riff-raff they see in there....You'll be a breath of fresh air. **Your results/luck may vary. Not to be construed as legal advice....Only first person re-telling**

Google that, did'ja Duane?!?

I guess one of the things that surprised me was that there's a name for it......."Filtering".....as if that now legitimizes reckless behavior?!? When I've ridden recklessly........I call it what it is I grew up on the back of a bike.......Been from the Smokey's to California to Manitoba, Canada.......But that's a new one on me. Had anyone else heard that term before this thread? **The other thing was the brazenness to not only tape it, complete with plates (I'm sure law enforcement could clean up the graininess nicely)......but post it online putting them in a completely different type of risk!

Let me double check. FYI....This is what Webster's comes up with........ Alright......Just double checked WhoDey's source on my own, & it's legit. Play on......... Last word was "Singers"

Time out...Stop....hold up...Whooaaaa Igged???? Definition & use in sentence please

OK....Mello & Gixxie....You guys mind me askin' how old you are? I'm gonna leave the rest of what you said alone, cause Lord knows I've done my share of stupid stuff on the bikes & we all get carried away once in awhile with the horsepower at our fingertips. However....I find your arrogance about it alarming.....You do realize these "stupid drivers" you mention are the same ones who are not gonna see you one of these times, or even if they do, more likely misjudge how fast you're going....cut you off/pull out in front of you, possibly with nowhere to escape & potentially killing you and/or your buddies. I realize you may be comfortable risking your own life.....But have you really thought about....I mean really visualized in your head.....attending one of your buddies' funerals. I had that opportunity last year. Look in my sig line......I went to Jeff's funeral last year 'cause some "Stupid driver".....A DUMBASS pizza delivery guy was in a hurry to make his dropoff, & made a lefty right in front of him with nowhere to bail. Either he didn't see Jeff's BRIGHT FUCKIN' green Ninja, or thought he had time to make the turn. Yes it was relatively low speed.....35-40'ish, and yes Jeff was wearing his full face helmet......but he laid her down & slid under the guy's truck & the running boards hit right where the faceshield is cut out. And NO......Jeff didn't die immediately like you'd hope for.......He bled out slowly....MASSIVE blood loss, says the woman I spoke to, who mercifully held him for several minutes while he passed, so he wouldn't die alone. And when I say he had a funeral....Actually it was a "Memorial Service". You see.....According to Jeff's mom, he was so swollen & disfigured from the accident, she didn't want anyone seeing him like that, tainting their memory....So she had him cremated before anyone could view him. Not to mention you guys could do the same thing to each other the way you were jitterbugging back & forth. I know 2 guys who were both VERY accomplished riders & ran into each other, killing both. And that was a simple low speed u-turn by one, not seeing the other one coming behind him until it was too late.....Not highway speeds like you guys were doing Am I being graphic in my depiction here......You bet your ass! Do I think about Jeff every time I gear up & put my key in the ignition, & worry about if I'm going to see my family again... even if I ride perfectly.....You bet your ass! Has his memory & lesson kept me from doing some stupid stuff since then......YOU BET YOUR ASS!! Feel free to call me pussy/chicken/coward/no-nuts....whatever you can come up with.....I don't care I hope this rattles around in the back of your head a little, and makes you re-think your defensive statement above Saw a great quote in Motorcyclist a few years ago......."If you ride a motorcycle, you're eventually going to be killed on it. Your objective is to put that off long enough that you die of old age first" They say a picture's worth a 1,000 words....Here's a picture from Jeff's accident scene a couple months ago on the 1 year anniversary...... in case my words didn't drive the point home enough...... Little sobering....ehhhh?!? The baby/little boy in the pictures is Jeff's 6 year old son. He lost his mom 2 years earlier....almost to the day.....So now thanks to a "stupid driver" .....Dade has no parents

Who is it? Did I see Angrish or someone talk about posting vid over there recently? What concerned me almost more than lane splitting the semi was their jitterbugging in & out of heavy traffic. Hard enough to keep track of the cages.....but then they were back & forth with each other

Keep hearing about that site, so finally went out to check it out. First thing I noticed is it seems to be a small forum/site........Only 214 registered users, with 4 online right now Most ever being 17 Is it a new site or something? Also.....Only have to be 13 to register for it?!? AssFault implies road riding. How old do you have to be in OH for your license.......16 or 18? Either way.....It ain't 13. Who knows Nick.....You may be gettin' flamed by a bunch of 13 year olds!!! BTW.....Where is that vid/site based out of? Reason I ask....IIRC from the XX board....lane splitting is legal in CA. Trying to make out the plates on the cars or the interstate signs....

Thomez.....You need to update the steed in your profile under your screename to the new ZReX

Noooooo.......I think you're confusing this with the "Word Association" thread Rock can't be played off "Paper".....that's why Mikey's sayin' "Fail" Papers off of Zero's "paper"

You're still alive?!? I was gonna call you today since it seems you disappeared after your party. Thought maybe you didn't survive it! Livin' the dream BABY!! And remember when all you guys used to laugh & make fun of me for bein' stuck out there on the road with 'ya & puttin' T through school, while she was stayin' at home & not workin'?!?
