Based on all the things that have happened this year (moto related).
Here's a place to post nothing but good stuff. No smack talk, challenging etc... we all get that at work.
Jesus & Lu did the story of their trip and it made us all feel good,right? (and was definately worth its own thread). So, if you have pics or videos from a day ride/ going to work/ road trip/ vacation or a short story that made you feel good, lets see/hear them.
I'm thinkin' we all could use a little pick me up about now.
Not being much for writing, here's mine from the N.M.M.R. (http://s226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/dustykitska/?action=view¤t=Duc08.flv)
This one's a repeat

Here's something that has never sucked: This board.
It never ceases to amaze me how this loosely knit/spread all-the-hell over the globe group of peeps continues to do amazing things for one another w/o a second thought. We've bought members bikes. We've built members bikes. We've donated for charity causes. We've done sooooooo much cool shit.
Like today. A member needed a part that I could've made like $15-20 on. F it. I sent it to him for free. Why? Just friggin' cuz. That's why.
I love this place...

Great year, and I got married to someone that understands & enjoys my motorcycling habit. What could be more awesome than that? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So here is some good fun from this summers adventure!

Awesome trip!
I tried valiantly to re-size these pics to no avail. This is why I generally don't post pics, and likely wont again. Hope you get the drift, it was a kick ass trip!

I am enjoying this thread a lot! The shots of all the yellow bikes and the water droplets ROCK too! Keep 'em coming. ;D

Things that don't suck: Family that rides.
Things that don't suck: The wife just took the learn to ride class.
Things that don't suck: I'm about halfway done with 'more' school.
More thing(s) that don't suck: I'm talking myself to get back into school. Been needing to do this for FAR too long.
Good for you. [clap] What will you study? I am considering going back too.

Most likely going to be focusing on Central/Southern Asian history and divisions within the Pashtun ethnic groups.
One more day.

But apparently I do need more schoolin' since I have NO idea what Pashtun is. :-[
And I do agree with you, Dolph. One more day does NOT suck. [clap]

Pashtun is the predominant ethnic group in southern Afghanistan and across the border in Pakistan.
See. I learned something already. Thanks DW. ;D
