Title: Things that don't suck
Post by: kingbaby on September 23, 2009, 03:23:52 PM
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&current=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... 

I'm Duck-Stew and I approve this message.  [thumbsup]

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!

A good friend, his long time street double engine triumph on the salt

Steve Hamel's Vincent.  I watched Marty Dickerson go 157 MPH on this borrowed motorcycle at 82 years old.  Please let that be me some day!

(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss294/make%20the%20beast%20with%20two%20backsphoto_bucket/th_055.jpg)

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!

Hope you don't stop posting pics even if they are small.  Love 'em!   [popcorn]


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

Great pic BP!   [thumbsup]

Now, I am by no means an H-D fan but I do like looking at bikes and ran across a pic similar to this (that I am posting now) on the advrider forum and think it is sooo cool and that some of you might think so as well.   ;D
