  1. FieldSheer's pretty good gear, right? Been trying to find a pair of mesh/textile pants that fit me right for this season. Got 2 from New Enough already, and had to return both. Just found these Booster pants in a catalog. Seem to have the options I want. Curious if anyone has/had them Also......Anybody heard anything about Teknic Chicanes seams bursting at crunch time? Read some posts on another board of some people having problems with the seams splitting open
  2. Forget him.......Let's see what's attached to the pink toe!!
  3. OMG.....This one's hysterical. He DOES look like he's tryin' to do "Blue Steel"!!!
  4. Voting's only open for 1 week. Help a brutha' out ........... http://www.esportbike.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139100 BTW.....You'll prolly have to register first b4 U can vote. I'm down by 1 so far, so all votes appreciated!!
  5. Thanx Rock. Like I said, Keith & I lost touch after high school.....but yeah....Last year wasn't a good one for me & friends
  6. From the IRS website. They've got a calculator on there too, so you can figure exactly how much/if any you'll be getting............ http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html
  7. Glad you're OK dude! I know a couple acquaintances who T-boned each other a few years ago........and weren't so lucky. Glad you were! Sounds like it's a good thing you had witnesses, since this guy obviously has no clue what he did
  8. Speaking of LEO's setting an example & being willing to sacrifice, perhaps the following is why this thread struck a chord with me. Friend of mine from high school was a Toledo Vice/Narcotics cop........and gave ALL last February................
  9. What's this Bikeland you speak of white man??? Nahhh.......the BlackBird site I hang on, that's standard operating procedure........Any poll has to have "Hookers" as the 4th option, or it's declared an "Invalid Poll"
  10. Yeah.....from the trailers I've seen of that one, looks like pretty much the whole movie is either CG, or shot against a green screen I agree with what you're sayin', but I thought Batman Begins rocked....Brought the franchise back to legitimacy Ewwwww.......Not sure if I'd heard about this one. Linky???
  11. Which one do you think will be the biggest "Blockbuster"???? I enabled multiple answers if you have a different answer for both questions. Be sure to tell which is which in your reply below. I'm leaning towards Iron Man at this point, but I've not seen any trailers for Batman of any substance......Mostly just voiceovers by Michael Cain & Heath Ledger Here's the link to the other thread that inspired this one.............. http://www.ohio-riders.net/showthread.php?p=68744#post68744
  12. As big a Batman fan as I am, from the trailers, I think Iron Man is gonna kick butt!! Robert Downey Jr.'s the schnizzle.....Liked him ever since Less Than Zero. Seems like he's got some really funny lines in this one. Your post gives me the idea to make this a poll if I can edit it.......or start a new one. Don't see where I can edit to poll, so guess I'll make new one...... Yeah....That one looks like it'll be a funny, real life take on superheroes Agreed. I wasn't that crazy about the first Hulk movie. Too over the top for my taste. I know the comic purists say that's how the Hulk really should be, but for someone who grew up watching the old TV show with Lou Ferrigno, I just thought it was TOO much. Different director & cast for this one though, so I think they want to re-start the franchise & make up some lost ground
  13. +1 But that's OK.......'Cause according to Mr.Brett.....We're too dumb to fully comprehend the all inclusive choices he laid out for us to vote on Ofcr. Gruff.......Ummmm...Yeeeaahhhh.......As busy as you are, I'm sure you've got the 30 minutes it takes to go to your local license bureau & pass the short maneuverability test they put you through, so you can ride at night & carry passengers legally. I'm sure you already know as an officer of the law, you don't HAVE to take the MSF course....It's only a recommendation. Others stated it correctly......You're a LEO.....You should be setting the example for the rest of us to follow *** I notice you just changed your avatar Ofcr. Gruff???
  14. Aren't you forgetting just going to the license bureau & passing your test as an option?
  15. .........IRON MAN!! WooHoooo!!
  16. Is your post directed in response to mine.......'cause it doesn't even seem like you read any of it. You're still focusing on horsepower & racing. That was a very small part of what I wrote.
  17. Bear in mind, that vid was euro. The ZX in the states doesn't have the banana seat like that ZZR. And I agree.....If there was one thing I could change about my 'Bird....It's that damn banana seat. Everytime I see a good deal come up on a Corbin Smuggler though, I'm too broke to take advantage of it As for Lizzard & JRMMiii's comments about these bikes only being good straightliners.......that's not entirely true. JR....It sounds like you drag yours, and the 'Busa is obviously VERY strong at that......but the 'Bird created the class "Sport Tourer" & the 'Busa & ZX14 have followed suit, though I believe they call theirs Grand Tourer & Hyper Tourer respectively. The 'Bird was the first factory bike to break the 180 mph barrier, and therefore the fastest topender 'til the '99 'Busa came out. The true purpose of these bikes is to be able to throw some soft luggage on, and chew up huge amounts of asphalt comfortably without riding a full blown couch like a GoldWing, so you can still having fun in the twisties when you get there. They're also more than competent "around town/commuter" bikes, and I know many people who take them for track days as well. I would disagree with your point Lizzard about the liter bikes being a better all around bike. What good are they outside their designated realm of running around town or hitting the track? What's the longest day you've spent in the saddle/most miles you've racked up in a day? What's your odo read? Last year, SamBusa, some buddies & I rode all the way around Lake Michigan, and actually ended up coming down the Lake Huron side due to weather. I put on 1,200 miles that weekend, and had lots of fun in the twisties as well (I wrote up a ride report if I can find it). I've got some friends who are about to make the whole IBA Lake Michigan 1,000 next weekend.......in less than 24 hours. Some of these guys are VERY accomplished riders, and though it appears you're a track guy, I'd be willing to bet you'd be surprised how much of a run for your money they'd give you on their 'Birds & 14's in some real world curves. I'm sure they'd be happy to have you if you wanted in on that trip. I also know guys who ride their XX's cross country......many with 75-100,000 miles on the odo's.....and NO chickenstrips. So while liter bikes are definately sexy as hell, I don't agree they're a better all around bike. As I stated above, I would say that THEY are the ones who only do a few points well............
  18. I'm about 20 minutes south of you. Shoot me a PM if 'ya wanna ride some time

  20. I take it the 2 bike version is an Accord then???
  21. Awesome pix!! You take 'em, or are they the track photo's???
  22. Sam tell you about the Pitt Daytrip June 14th? You gonna hook up with us when we get over to the east side?
  23. Yeah......What he said And actually, now I'm at home doin' the Mr. Mom thing the last year. Here's a pic of Daddy's boy a couple weeks ago gettin' a knee down....Even if it is the wrong knee (Notice his Engineer cap.....)!! Thanx! Yeah....That's why I love her so much.....You don't see many around, and sometimes people don't even know what she is. You can tell a serious enthusiast from the squids when they DO know She won the online "Reader's Ride of the Month" contest for Two Wheel Tuner last month...........
