Just like that stripped of all I have worked so hard for.

I got a strip for you, its right between the sack and the brown eye.

You a dad yet!

No nothing yet...

I am starting to think its just gas...

but I don't know how to explain the  Ultrasound? (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3630385155131596124&hl=en)

AWWWWWW so cute!!!

I love those 3d ultrasounds.

What freaks me out is it kinda looks like Jacob...  :o

The new DML sucks ass, & I'm not going back.

Sounds like a good poll.

Sorry dewd, I had to shake things up a little.  ;)

I wonder if Ray knows we are here now?

I wonder how Ray and Sonja are doing.

Hmmmm....

It didn't take long to get this tread up and running.  Looks like people are leaving DML like rats on a sinking ship...  :wine

You STILL have pneumonia buddy? I hope you feel better soon!!

So... who is gonna hit the 1000 posts first... and are we still doing the toaster thing?  ;D

I think we should have a pair of DMF boobies.

I do and you can barrow it, I have SS rivets too with aluminum buttons.

How old are you now? 21?  [beer]

yeah '87

I cracked my sternum while sneezing!  It took about 3 years to heal completely.  So every time I sneezed or coughed, it hurt like heck.

87? ha ha ha ha... whatever.... if BB is fetus... that would make you ... uh.... spermie?

Oh yeah I am still a novice I need to graduate before I am get that 8.

Yah . . . that's what I want to hear.  Dr said up to 12 weeks to heal w/no riding!  :'(

I'm out of the loop, what the hell did you do Chuck?

Got flu, got pnemonia, broke ribs, still have pnemonia.

Breathing is very important BTW  [cheeky]

how did you break your ribs silly sally~!

Coughing.

 :o

That's F'd up.

Yah, even more so since it happened at work in the middle of a meeting . . .

I coughed felt them snap let out a cry of pain and left the room . . .

Caused quite a stir I hear  :-\

Dang dude, broken ribs from coughing?  I've popped one out of place before, but never cracked one!  Ow!  :-\

Okay, someone remind me to stay off the dang politiks board... I'm never gonna get any sleep.  It's not even arguing, just answering questions.  :P  Crap, that gets exhausting.

I hate getting paged into work at 3 am... this sucks. I did ride to work though. No traffic at 3... except the drunks... and they are easy to swerve around.  ;D

Sassy's is open at 3am?

Yeah.... 2:30 is for non-regulars.

Mmmmm..... Sassy's....

Who here lives in the Sellwood Moreland area?  I've been seeing alot more Ducs than usual compared to last summer.

I work in that area and have been seeing amny many monsters

one in the parking lot of Prov' Milwaukie

red/black 695

Hey Jacob, any more details on the new contract?

Are you happy with it?

How are the Teamsters treating you guys?

I work in felony flats, but I take lunch time rides up by Lewis and Clark, so I ride through Sellwood quite a bit.  Red 695, sometimes with a red faux hawk on teh helmet.

I moved this weekend.  Went from my former apt in Tualatin to a nicer one in north Wilsonville.  It's a little bigger, has vaulted ceilings, quieter, nicer looking interior (paint, appliances, etc), yet it's cheaper.  Only downside is that the garage is probably 18" narrower, so I had to be more careful of how I arranged my shelving and stuff so I could fit all the crap, the old GTI, and the Duc in there.

I had planned the move date a month in advance... thinking mid-May would be either rainy or sunny and mild... wow... figures we not only had hot weather, we had record-breaking hot weather for two days in a row.  :P  Imagine using a Stairmaster while carrying a ~40lb box in 95 degree heat and sun.  Holy-freaking-crap, that sucked monkey balls.  There is just no nice word for that experience.  Sunday was marginally better because it was around 10 degrees cooler, and we were on flat ground loading/unloading the garage stuff, plus Dad had the utility trailer backed right up to the garage door.

Driving the '86 GTI from Tualatin to Wilsonville reminded me why I'm keeping that car.  I love lightweight, stiff, responsive cars.  I think I'm gonna be getting back into buying parts for that car, so I can get it running and driving again.  I'd prefer a nicely tuned Mk2 to the Mk3 VR6.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Sorry man . . . I woulda helped you move but then I broked my ribbs . . .  :-[

Any number of us would have helped you... you had only need to ask. Did ya need help?  :)

Mk1, Mk2 and Mk5 are my favorites.  I never owned a Mk4.  VDub's are awesome!

i dont get it.

You have a Jetta, right?  We are talking about what version / series of water-cooled VW's.

Hey, thanks for the consideration, I know a number of ya would've helped had I asked... I had some family helping, and stuff wasn't exactly ready-to-go, so Mom & Dad helped me pack.  Had the temp been 70 or so, we'd have gotten it done without any problem, it just took us bloody forever in that heat, because every other trip we had to stop for 5 min to hydrate and cool down.

Anyway, if I plan ahead next time and have stuff boxed up, I'll definitely put the request out there.  Obviously, ample food and drink would be provided.  ;)

Then again, I may post it at church as a "productive fellowship" opportunity... and I'm not so sure about mixing that group and this one.   [cheeky]

Mike, I haven't driven a Mk5, but I hear they're a hoot.  I might be tempted to go test drive one of those, just for grins.  And I'd love to have an original Mk1 GTI... a wascally wabbit!  [evil]

For the uninitiated... Mk1 is the original Rabbit and first-gen Jetta (seventies through 1984), the Mk2 was 1985-1992, Mk3 was 1993-1998, Mk4 was 1999-2005 (this one's actually a little broken up because the Jetta, new Rabbit, and GTI were released at different times), and Mk5 is the current bodystyle Rabbit and Jetta.  The "Mark I" through "Mark V" designators are used when referring to the different generations of "A-chassis" cars (which are the compacts), so the generations or "Marks" correspond to the A1-A5 platforms.  The Passat and Audi A4 are "B-chassis", which is larger, and the numbers are out of sync with the "A" platform (since they changed generations in different years).

The cars I have are a red 1986 GTI (A2, or "Mark II"), and a black 1998 GTI VR6 (A3, or "Mark III").

Note that the years for each gen may be different in Europe.  The A1 was released there before it was in the US, and the GTI also came out a couple years earlier over there.  There were other differences as well, like with the Mk3 GTI VR6... there was no Mk3 GTI with a VR6 in Europe (there was a Golf VR6, but technically over there it wasn't a GTI), instead they got a 2.0L 16-valve motor (which never made it to this side of the pond, at least not in an A3 chassis).

Okay, sorry, now I'm getting into really obscure trivia that I'm sure only Mike has any awareness of.   :-[  It's an enthusiast thing.

no, now you dont get it.

BB,

Drive the MkV with the DSG.  :o

Visolara,

Taint nuttin' I can do to get you to get it.

So clue me in... what didn't you get?

IT man "it"!  Why can't you get it?!  [laugh]

Dude . . . I'd so fit in with your little religious cult friends.  Especially the young women needing pro-choice help  ;D

Dan... I just found proof that converting a monoposto to a biposto is a bad idea....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a264/jonfay/passengerseat.jpg


Buy a monoposto... don't make one... bad things lay that way.   [evil]

Are you kidding?

Looks like all the oral you want for the taking . . .

Oh wait . . . bumps and teeth . . . never mind.

Run Bible Boy run!  [laugh]

Hey does anybody have a chain riveter that I can borrow sometime in the next few weeks? Anybody want to help me change out my sprockets and chain? I haven't done it before and could use a hand.
Hopefully I will have it back from Daric Cheshire by the end of the week, but won't be able to slap the new stuff on until Saturday the 31st. Until then I need some suggestions of places to go to break in my new treads, maybe some twisties not too far off (I'm in Vanc), and some suggestions of how to best break them in. Tax return=new treads for me!

The Doc

I have a chain tool, but I am racing June first, so will be pretty busy the 31st.  If you can come by before, during the week, it would be easier.  We can swap out your chain/front/rear sprockets pretty fast.



Maurice

Need help in the pits?

If we can do the swap in the afternoon/evening next week some time that would be great. I have to check my schedule to see when I am open. Thanks man.

The Doc

Definitely! 

This is for the Rose Cup Race we are doing.


Maurice

No afternoon's, but evenings are open. 

Let me know.


Maurice

Yes 5.31 & 6.1 ?  Mark said he would assist too if need be.

We need to setup on 5/31, then we race on 6/1.  You and Mark are more then welcome, I will have passes for you guys soon.  :)

Thanks you guys, you rock!


Maurice

I don't have the chain thingy, but I do know of some good roads around teh "couve. We're always up for a good ride.

Bad ass!

Dude!  That was awesome!

And I don't feel sorry for ya BB... I moved me, myself, and I during a major snowstorm from Spokane to Bend, total loading equaled 2 days, unloading with help 2 days, driving time there and back 16 hours... sucked ass and I guarantee I have more shit to move than you...  my only solace, 3 steps out of old apt... damn I was so tired...

Congrats on the new digs tho!!   [thumbsup] [wine]

And you got G while all he's got is his left hand and that doesn't drink so he goes home all worked up and alone.  [bang]

I think Chuck is just projecting his pent-up... err... issues onto a convenient target.  What I mean is, Chuck is in denial of his own feelings/issues, so he talks smack about yours truly.


This psychoanalysis is from an engineer, so take it with a grain of salt (though while in school I could BS with the best of 'em).   [cheeky]

The glass is half full. But an engineer will tell you there is twice as much glass as there needs to be. make the beast with two backsing engineers.

Bah . . .

I got built in frustration at home.  I'm the one that needs to  [beer]

Hey Jon... how much of Sassy's do you actually remember?

A Harley rider goes down for not wearing his jacket.

I remember Ryan Dalling not buying me a Marti, but a chilled shot of vodka with an olive.

I remember Ryan Dalling the master pool player loosing on purpose to me.

I remember the strippers telling me to go home.

I remember Ryan Dalling giving the drunks a ride home.

I remember waking up with the worst hangover i have had in 31 years.

Do you remember getting slapped awake by the stripper cause you passed out at the rack? She shoulda let you stay cause you had put a couple songs worth of ones out.

B's cool like that... she always sends me home.

ahahahahahahaha!  I love it [wine]

I didn't really pass out.... I fake it.

That way she slaps me.  [evil]

I should try that.  [evil]

We will have to go to hotties some time...

I went to the Lucky Devil last night  [evil] didn't get slapped though

I met a Lucky Devil once... I hated that guy... Lucky bastard...

What were we talking about?

mmmm... ( . )( . )

Considering the economy it is a pretty decent contract

problem is with the recent projection of $200.00/Barrel oil in the next 2 years

and our contract being 3 years

it feels like a pay cut

My friend was at a opera in NY and ran into NP.

He said she was very charming.

He also pretended like he did know who she was.

A friend of mine is getting married and said the only way she would let me and my buddy Robert into the wedding was if we dressed in Dumb and Dumber tuxes.... so I googled it...

http://www.dumbanddumbercostumes.com/customer_comments.html

The customer comments on the site... with pictures... had me rolling on the floor. I wish I could do prom all over again and wear one of them.  [laugh]

So... I look out the window today... and a coworker is sitting on my bike. Of course... by the time I get downstairs and out the building... he is gone... but WTF?!?!?  It's a good thing I just took that violence in the work place training... cause now I know all the actions I can't take when telling him off.  [bang]

thats make the beast with two backsed up, I would pregnant dog slap them for sure!

Dude, I'd be so pissed... Do you know who the guy is?  I would definately find out...

Yeah... I know who it is... and he rides a Vespa... and is foreign... so I am not sure if he understands how much I want to beat him down right now.

What did your class say about pissing on someone's Vespa . . . or in their helmet?

Or saving a really good groaner in a plastic bag and putting it on his seat in the sun where it will melt and spread in a nasty runny stinking poo kinda way all over the seat?

Our conversation.... "Getting on a man's bike is like getting on a man's wife, some people are into that shit, but if I come around the corner and see somebody mountin my wife... I grab a shotgun." Enough said.

<==== Full Member  ;D

And how'd he take it?

Some of the older Superbikes have a retracking sidestand, it's snaps up when the bike is stood upright, had Ryan's bike been this way I bet it would have been dropped  [coffee] sweep the leg Ryan, sweep the leg

Foul up his spark plug on the vespa

I've heard that the speedometer ignition and CPU are not interchangeable on a monster.  Any truth to that?  Thing is I cracked mine and it probably should be replaced, was just wondering if I had to get all three or if I could just get the speedo.

Dont know man.  :(

Kylie Minogue has some big teeth.  ;D

Did you try asking this queston in Tech?

7 hours in the saddle . . . ribs aren't happy.

Which is louder my jacket or my bike?

not many bikes out today.......

You ever do the wave to bikes while in your cage and get the "Who the hell are you?" look???  Makes me feel stupid to be in a cage. I guess I just can't wave at bikes while in a cage any more.  :'(

You dont get that as much when you wave with the shocker.

you named your big black dildo "shocker" didn't you?

Would it be weird if I got a shocker sticker for my bike?

no no, thats innocently named, "The Jacob!", well thats what I tell all the guys at The Eagle.

lately all i do when i drive in my car is try to look through the turn at the next corner and try to figure out where the apex is and line myself up accordingly to take the turn like i would on my MC, oh well at least it makes me feel like im kinda riding.

The Jacob = VaJacob...

Jacob is the bear on the mountain.

Umm, too much of a good thing...

I feel sick  [puke]

what's wrong with us 'mericans?  [roll]

I saw the movie Hancock and it is awesome!

I liked the last movie the fresh prince did where the scientist saves the world.

And I do want to see this one. 

Everyone is so quiet and boring today. What gives?  Also... I see we now have a bacon icon... what the ya? If we got that... we so need a boobies one...

 [bacon] & (o) (o)

Bacon and 2 sunny side eggs, or you know, boobies.

those are some crazy farrah fawcett nipples mang

How old are you??? Farrah Fawcett??  Jeez, she was before my time, and I think I'm old. 

Hey Chuck, check it out, it's KAT (http://www.motocorsa.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=content.kat)!

SCHWING!

I love that red dress outfit . . . I saw her wear it to work one day.  It's so . . . incongruous.

ma'am, Farrah Fawcett's nipples are timeless

she kind of looks like a dude to me...... [coffee]

on another note....STALKER!!

nice try ancient one.
 ;D

Who asked you fetus?

Wait . . . I think we used fetus already . . . embryo?  Did we use embryo yet?

Either way - damn kids these days.  :-*

i have this feeling her nipples are pretty deflated at this point......

No way!  With the wonders of modern medicine those puppies probably have enough lift to carry a guy in a lawn chair to Idaho!  [laugh]

Mine or Farrahs?

I can neither confirm nor deny having an opinion of your assets . . . Oh wait . . . you meant Saltlick . . . this conversation never happened.

actually i was talking about victors...... [laugh]

Hey!  Leave my nipples. and any other parts, out of this conversation. :P

I agree... can we talk about female boobies instead? With lots and lots of pictures!!   [evil]

Who's gonna be the first to post a pic? 

I double deputy dog dare you!  [evil]

Dude... you have been posting a lot lately. I would post some cool pics... but you have to find a place that will host the pic and link over to it. You can't upload them directly. My work connection doesn't allow me to go to any picture hosting locations on this computer.

Leaving for vacation on Friday the 18th... Napa and then Disneyland.  I so have short timers at work. I am ready for my vacation to start already. Aaaargh!! Somebody entertain me.... I am so bored.   [bang]

Post your pics to your DML account and then link 'em here.  That way you hit them up for the storage and bandwidth for pleasure here . . . just another FU to them  [evil]

Hmm... I can't do that any longer. Banned for life.  [evil]

OH . . . like 11ty billion people didn't create new accounts once they got banned in the past?

Hell, I'll give you my account inf.   ;)

mmmmmm nipples........ [bacon] [bacon]

Bacon flavored nipples . . . now there's a GREAT idea.

You mean you never used bacon grease in that area before? How sad. You just don't know what you are missing out on.  ;D

Oh for Christ sakes  [puke]

Well, since you double deputy dog dared...

(http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/40/bluefooted-booby_449.jpg)

Technically that's only a picture of one booby.  ;D

He has to triple dog dare me to get two boobies.

I triple dog dare you to post two bald boobies.  [evil]

Are you referring to me and Marvelous?  ;D

I wonder if you put your heads close together and some fun camera angles if you could make it look like some larger boobies.... hmm....  :o

So yeah, I noticed Mother's sig line today:



That reminded me of something a prof at Embry-Riddle once said...

Hmm.... interesting quote.

Hey Dan... how are you doing? Long time no see.

How am I doing?
 Hmm...

I'm tired.  Unpaid overtime blows.  And I'd like to have a serious sit-down with whoever scheduled this much work during Oregon's 2 weeks of summer...

Otherwise, life is good.  My apartment is moving towards a more upscale, organized appearance.  I got my overhead costs down so I'm making progress on debt and savings for a house.  I've been keeping busy every weekend, with more stuff to do than I can fit in (compared to life in Iowa... where I had to scrounge to find anything to do).

Trying to fit in time to work on projects... like getting my 1986 GTI through DEQ.  I can spend a $1000 I don't have on carbs and just git 'er done, or I can spend less on fuel hardware to get through DEQ, but I'm just going to yank said hardware off when I build my hotrod motor.  The car also needs a driver's seat... the frame on the existing one is cracked.  I just hope I don't get in a wreck with it like this, because it'll probably give way.  Nevermind getting it painted anytime soon...  I think I want to spray it myself, but I need my own garage for that, not an apartment garage.

Anyway, also trying to get to one of these meetups for drinks... work keeps getting in my way.  So what's this gig on the 7th?  Chuckles said something about "Elizabeth" being in town?  Are we talkin' about Ms. Raab from the photo studio in Seattle?  Sounds like a good excuse to come hang out, and next week is one of my Fridays off, so hangin' out Thursday night won't create an issue with getting up the next morning.  ;)

Hi Dan, good job on the debt progress. I can relate. I've nailed a ton of it in the past four month, getting close.  :)

He's a talkin' about the lovely and talented Miss Raab alright. We're hoping to be graced by her presents on the 7 of Aug. We'll still hook up none the less. You should come out. I'll scotch ya  8)

Why  do birds suddenly appear... everytime.. you are near?

Becuase he's the Pied-Piper of the Avians?

Just like me, they long to be close to you.  :-*

then why would you drink budwieser?

might as well steal a dead bums socks and wring them out into a pint glass

I liked how the first guy flashed the bird after he got back in his own lane. [laugh]

No way, Buttweiper is an excellent beer.  You must be thinking of Coors.  [puke]

"This is the famous budweiser beer.  We know of no brand produced which costs so much to brew and age.  Our exclusive beechwood aging process produces a taste, smoothness and drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price."

The Budweiser label.  Just from memory and I think I got it 99% right - i didn't even Google it.   [beer]

One of the few benefits of growing up and going to college in Missouri, home of the Busch empire.  [laugh]

Of course, I think they're gonna have to change the name to "Stella-weiser" now.  ;D

I grew up near their Clydesdale breeding farm.  In grade school, I'd ride my bike down the road to see them, stand outside the fence, and feed them the tall grass that grew tantalizingly out of their reach.  These gentle giants would herd up at the fence and munch on the clumps of grass from your hand.  I believe there is no more beautiful and pious animal in the world. 

Sorry, got a little nostalgic there . . .  :-[

I got to see those Clydes in person too. They're beautiful. Got to ride some back when I was competing. They're so gentle and smooth when they trot, you don't need a saddle or anything.

I've got a pic somewhere.....

A buddy and I skipped school one day to go to the Merrimack, NH Bud plant.  They have Clydes there . . . we saw a blacksmith shoeing one and the hoof was the hoof was the size of his CHEST!!!!

The tour guide told me each horse goes through rigorous psychological testing and training and if it fails at any time they remove them from the herd.  Due to the size and their public openness they have to be absolutely sedate.

Hmmm..........


Riding bareback? [evil]

See: Gelding. :o

I stopped into the Fort Collins brewery a year or so ago but they had them all turned out in an exercise pen. Never got to see them up close. But the sampled beer they give you is fresh. Hot damn.

Here's a "clean" version of how I feel right about now...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ4wa-432xQ

And for all the uppity girls I've known who have said...
-- "I'm just really into my career/school/whatever right now"
-- "you're a really nice guy, but I just wanna be friends"
-- "it's not you, it's me"
-- et cetera, ad infinitum

...here's what I'd really like to play for them:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqODkZFmYBg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqODkZFmYBg)

Sorry man . . .

Women!  >:(

Oh shut up.  [cheeky]

You men men can be just as bad.  ;)

Men!  >:(

I know!!! Geez.

i dont get it?

I think the most irritating part is how a phrase like "I just wanna be friends" can have about 15 different meanings, ranging from "I really do like you and want to remain friends" to "I will file a restraining order if I ever so much as spot you from 100 yards away in a public venue."  Most commonly it simply seems to mean "if I never see you again, it'll be too soon." (no threat of restraining order)  [roll]

To all the women of this board, I make one humble request: just be honest.  Don't try to hide what you mean because of some misguided desire to be "nice".  The nicest thing you can do for a guy is just to be upfront and honest.  Trust me, he'll get over it.  If, on the other hand, you repeatedly tell "white lies" because you think it's somehow less hurtful, in the end when he finds out how you really feel, it'll only piss him off that you lied.

So, just be honest.

And do me a favor... please pass that along to all your other female companions.

Thanks.  ;)

and fetch us a turkey pot pie......

kiss my ass. i aint fetchin you nuthin. get your lazy bum up and get it yourself.






Now here's your sammich. You want another beer?

haha, I read it as "feltch" us a turkey pot pie.  :p

Jacob is versed in feltching, he should have good guidance.

Ah well at least they call you back and inform you of why they don't like you...  [bang]

Nah, I've only had one tell me what she didn't like... but we had actually been going out for around 4 months, so that was part of an uncomfortable (but necessary) last conversation.  Plus, we were both thinking the same thing for reciprocal reasons.  Worldview clashes weren't goin' away anytime soon.

Otherwise, nobody else has bothered to explain "why".  The only thing I ever get is that I'm "a nice guy".  [roll]  Yeah, that's about as descriptive as DOS telling you "Bad command or filename".  Or to borrow a phrase from a favorite movie:

"'PC loadletter'... what the f**k does that mean?!?"

Alls I know is, out of multiple turndowns there's only one thing in common... me.  I can't just blame all the girls (okay... I can and will blame some of them, but there's a couple I can't legitimately blame).  So I'd kinda like to figure out what the heck is "wrong" with me so I can fix it and move on.

...

I just realised... why, oh why, am I discussing relationship stuff with the DMF?  ???  *sigh*... Obviously I'm too tired to be thinking straight.

I did the same thing and it got me to a very good place.

Because you WUV us!!

But seriously, instead of blaming yourself, why don't you look at the wiminz you be chasin. If they continue to shoot you down, maybe they be the wrong wiminz for you? Re-evaluate the stuff you are looking for in a girl and branch out a little.

give them the cold shoulder and they will come a running..... [thumbsup]

there is a book out there called "why men love pregnant doges" im sure theres a book out there called...why wemon love assholes.  It goes both ways.

"Blame myself"... now that I think about it, not sure it's really "blaming" myself.  Just wondering if there's something specific that really does need fixed, or if I'm just barkin' up the wrong tree(s).  As far as my Mom's concerned, the uppity types who think they're too good for any of the guys need a reality check (there's a lot of them... and there's more than one guy I know who's been shot down by them).  The other (married) adults I've talked to are all of the opinion I'm fine, it's just a matter of stumbling on the right counterpart.

Anyway, we're gonna get into way more detail than needs to be gotten into... and we're also gonna run headlong into some vastly different takes on "right relationships", so methinks it's time to call it quits here.  ;)

And yes, for some inexplicable reason, I do "wuv" this group.

Ya know... I really like this emoticon, but I never have a chance to use it...  [coffee]  That's kinda what I feel like doin' right about now... going for coffee, and sitting down with the Wall Street Journal, or something intellectual like some of Solzhenitsyn's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Solzhenitsyn) work.

He be dead.  He lived in the town next to where I grew up in a "fortress" type house.  There was an escape route in the cellar, walled perimeter, security cameras . . .

His kids (Iggy and . . . hmmmm . . . can't remember his name) went to school at the same time I did.  Played soccer against them.  Some friends put Iggy in a trash can one time  . . .

I gave you all my love/marital advice last Thursday.  What'd that take 5 minutes including eating the quesedila?  ;D

Never take relationship advice from a man eating a quesedilla.  8)

Fixed it.

I've had my fair share of 'shit' happen to me in the relationship column... And then some... it all prepared me to be ready and appreciate the one I was supposed to meet... Seriously... work on yourself, get yourself to a position of positive confidence (women love a confident man... READ: confident in himself, NOT cocky) and the right person will come along...

That's all I got to say about that...

Oh and mmm... ( . )( . )  :P

I decided being stuck in buffalo is like the armpit of the world. Yuck

Obviously you haven't been to Manchester, NH.  ;)

Go herehttp://www.roycroftcampuscorporation.com/ (http://www.roycroftcampuscorporation.com/)

That looks awfully familiar...  :)

And obviously you haven't been to Kennewick, WA...

Buffalo is the armpit of Western Civilization?  Nah, that'd be LA.  It can slide off into the ocean anytime now as far as I'm concerned...

Don't limit it to that cesspool. Include the rest of Califruit.

Well, NorCal is actually okay... because it's basically South Oregon.  ;D  The heavily agricultural Central Cali seems to be alright, too (based on the folks I know from there).  San Diego I kinda feel "meh" about.  It's basically just SanFran and the LA basin that really need to slide off into the Pacific.  That'd fix a lot of the PRK's problems.

And yes, I've spent at least a little bit of time visiting all of the specific areas mentioned.  ;)

Yeah, everything north of Yuba City isn't bad. There is some great country to explore east of Chico. Most of that territory is only legally Califruit. Then again, Southern Oregon and Northern California have wanted to secede and combine to become the State of Jefferson for a long time, since the whole lot of it is a disregarded region in any way that counts.

i spent the first 30 years of my life in northern california.  Grew up with alot of friends that grew pot there, that place was great back in the 70's and 80's and really the early 90's. it started to get too crowded and overun by rich folks around 1996 so we left for greener pastures. funny thing is i remember my dad bought 2 acres of land in sonoma county (wine country) when i was 5years old (back in the 70's) and it cost him 5K total for the land and the house. Now property in sonoma county in the wine country area goes for millions an acre. its ridiculous.  Some of the cool things was seeing Primus play in petaluma for $5, then hanging out with them afterwards in the bar across the street (man that was back in 1990 i think) and seeing the red hot chilli peppers play in Cotati, CA back in 1988 for $5. For any of you RHCP fans they had thier original guitarist back then (the guy that died from an overdose) hillel slovak.  This place was no bigger than say plan B and before the show i hung outside with flea the bass player and drank wine with him out back. No one really knew too much about the RHCP back then, they were just another band coming through town. that was 20 years ago jesus. That area use to be the hotspot for all that funk music startin up in the mid 80's. jeesus im old.  [bang] [wine]

Nice!  Flea is one of the best bassists ever... I reallly like RHCP back then but I'm over them now... *shrugs*  And Primus!!  Another great band...  And you're not old, just seasoned... heh

Threadjacking the threadjack thread...

I thought the title of this article was kinda funny.  It's something I'd expect to see on a small-time blog, not CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/08/12/bug.diesel/index.html

I see Les Claypool every chance I get. He came through Salem with Oysterhead a while back; caught Primus proper at the convention center in '04 and Claypool's Fancy Band at the Roseland last year.

Les rocks!!  Kinda odd in person but damn he can play... Victor Wooten tho still might be the best bassist I've EVER seen... OMG is he good!!

FWIW, I've seen Claypool twice. 

Once in '93 with Primus on Lollapalooza.  Outstanding!  [thumbsup]

Second was in '04 on the C2B3 tour.  I was not impressed.  Mostly due to having four virtuosos on the same stage fighting for attention. 

Random subject change...

I think I'm getting me a track bike.  A bone stock 2005 CBR600RR (other than the obvious roadside-obstacle-applied mods).

Insurance co. dropped the buyback on my bro's bike to $1960 and change.  My ceiling was $2k.  It'll need a radiator, hoses, maybe a fan, throttle control group (bar is fine, plastic housings and cables are not), and rear brake lever.  After that it needs some bodywork... and there's a bewildering array of crap available.

To go street legal, it'd also need a headlight unit (~$300), some kind of barend mirrors, and something for front turn signals.

Whaddy'all think?  Worth it?

Of course, it has to be approved by my brother first (since it's his bike and his ins. claim).  If he doesn't want to do the buyback then sell it to me... well, then I'm SOL.

Worth it yes in that regard but with your interest in buying a home, ridding the student loans, your VW obessions, I say slay the beast Sidney, don't become a racer it's too expensive!!! You be home-moaner. Trade in or sell the SS and get a Multi. My .02 cents  :)

I would do it. The hardest part about bikes with bad titles is not knowing the history or extent of damage. You know both. The bike should be reliable and fun!! I would track it in an instant.

Billy is right about that. Track days are not cheap. You are looking at $200+ per track day, depending on which ones you do. Not to mention new tires every 2-3 track days (depending on how you ride), more frequent oil changes and maintainance, gas, etc. Ask Mo how much he spends per year on racing.  :)  It's an expensive hobby for sure, no matter how you look at it. So you really have to think about your priorities. If you think you can afford the racing part and accomplish your life goals within your time fram, go for it!  [thumbsup] You are always welcome in our pits.

But I also know the temptation of a new toy, and the ability to rationalize putting off what you really want in the long run to get what you want now.

It's up to you dude, if you get it, we look forward to seeing you at PIR.  ;D

*Ok I had to edit a lilttle bit. You don't HAVE to do many track days and race days per year. For all I know you might HATE the track and never want to do it again. 2K for a track bike is a slammin deal. But, as with any addiction, you get a little taste and then you need more and more and more until it's taking all your disposable income, which is what would probably happen to me if I were to get on the track. So I say go for it. Try out the track and see if you like it but definitely don't let it go to your head.*

Yeah, this could impede the home-purchase effort...

First, I'm not planning to race.  This would be used for a couple trackdays a season, probably.  Well... at first, anyway.  [evil]  And it'd be for more than just me... it'd be a bike Dad and Dave can use for ToR rides as well.  We're just not sure if they want to or can afford to put any money toward it.  If they can't, I'd like to get it anyway, and they could still use it freely.

Second, it'd be resalable (I think) for at least what I paid.  Lots of kids on CBR forums telling their buddies with totaled bikes that they'll buy the salvage bike for around $2k if the owner doesn't want it.  Insurance auction forums are showing values between $1900 and $2700 for bikes that aren't rideable.  Salvage title CBR600RR trackbikes with a small handful of goodies are worth $5000-$5700 on forums (bodywork, sliders, clipons, maybe rearsets, & exhaust).  If any of you know how much a 2005 CBR600RR would go for at PIR with minimal track equipment (bodywork, frame sliders, slip-on muffler), please post up.  So far it seems I'd be able to get my money back out of it at a minimum.

I'm not sure how the math will work out in the 6-mo to one year term.  I owe less than $2k on my car, so I'll pay that off with the "Incentive Pay Plan" bonus from work at the end of the year.  That'll save me $140/mo in auto loan payments.

The other good news is that this quarter my private student loan interest rates are down to around 5.25%, which makes the minimum payment much more bearable (then I pay at least 10% above said min toward the principle).  Back when interest rates were high, my minimum payment was around $730/month.  Yes, engineering degrees are expensive.  :P

The bad news is that the Fed is concerned about inflation... which means the rates are probably goin' back up here soon.  >:(  I'd reconsolidate the loans to a fixed rate, but the fixed rates are at 8% right now... the worst rate I paid for variable was 8.25%.  I'm not sure it's worth fixing them at 8%.

Anyways... I'd like to buy it, try it, if it's killing me financially then I'll get rid of it.  That's if I buy it alone.  If Dad, Dave, and I go in together (not sure what Tom wants to do), then it's relatively easy to fit into the budget, so there's no question about keeping it.

Well, now we just gotta check with Tom and see what his take is on it... he may want it gone completely, for whatever reason.  I'd be disappointed, but it's his bike.

Update... Tom doesn't care what we do with the munched CBR.  He's gonna get a nice shiny new (leftover) 2007 600RR.  [moto]

Now, we just have to figure out how the rest of us want to divvy up the finances.

Dad would like to (if affordable), make it a relatively inexpensive street bike again.  It'd look vaguely like this one (sans he fugly Gixxer mirrors, spendy Carrozzeria wheels, brake rotors, and CF slipon):

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/aRRs/bike7701.jpg) (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/aRRs/bike7701.jpg)

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/aRRs/bike7704.jpg) (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/aRRs/bike7704.jpg)

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/aRRs/bike7705.jpg) (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/aRRs/bike7705.jpg)

Repsol replicas are everywhere... how often do you see a Rothmans replica?  Plus Dad & I both like the paint scheme.  Anyway, that's one option.  We priced it out, and including the bike buyback it'd cost approximately $4000 to finish.  That's using relatively inexpensive aftermarket street plastics (whole set for that Rothmans replica is a little over $800), barend mirrors, and modestly prices flushmount signals.  We'd retain the stock exhaust, wheels, rearsets, etc, for the time being.

Now, to make a track-only bike we're looking at a little less money, more like $3750 (again, including the bike buyback).  That's buying all new repair parts (some OEM, some aftermarket).  If I'm the one building this, and it's gonna be track-only, then you can bet I'll cut the costs a bit by finding used stuff where possible.

First thing, we are buying it back.  Then we'll need to figure out exactly how we're finishing it.  I'm certainly not gonna go bonkers on the track if we're running street plastics.  One "oops" and $800 in plastic goes "bye-bye".  On the other hand, if I make a track bike out of it now, Dad's not gonna want to put street stuff back on later.  Finances are frustrating... so I'll give him and Mom some time to mull over their options.  There's plenty of mechanical crap to hunt down deals on before we get to "the point of no return" bodywork decisions...

Has BB ever made an impulse decision?  I'm just sayin'. . .

Oh, and (.)(.) as Marvel would say

+ [bacon]

Yep.  Bought a blackpowder rifle on an impulse while living in Iowa.  It turned out to be an uncommon caliber, and it hasn't caught on.  To add insult to injury, it doesn't even qualify for the "primitive weapon" season in Oregon, so it's not particularly easy to sell here.  So now I have a .52 caliber inline muzzleloader (blackpowder) rifle that's insanely accurate, has a really high muzzle velocity, and will drop a caribou at 200 yards... but I'll never actually use it for more than blowing up gallon jugs of water in spectacular displays of destructive power.

Since then, my "impulse decisions" have involved very, very small amounts of money.  Otherwise, my impulse buys tend to result in rare, expensive, cool, but ultimately useless toys.

My SS is the closest I've come to a major impulse decision since the blackpowder rifle.  I saw it on Craigslist on a Saturday, thought about it overnight, called on Sunday, found out 3 others were scheduled to see it later that week, so I looked at it on Monday, and after looking at it then discussing with Dad for 20 minutes I put "good faith" money down on it that night.  Picked it up that Friday.  I did, however, know the bluebook value and had checked CycleTrader for real-world resale values.

I think about everything.  It's what I get paid to do at work, and it's just ingrained in my personality type.  That's a good thing, because people who think like me help keep airplanes from falling out of the sky.  ;)

Not to mention eating coal and crapping diamonds keeping engagement rings affordable for the masses ;D

That would be Chuck Norris. ;D

They're affordable? Shit, I musta looked at the wrong ones....


Mmmmmmm shinies....

I shot a black powder shot gun when I was a lad.  I went goose hunting and a buddy who had one.  At the end of the day you have to fire it, loaded gun in car ...

So the end of hunting is at sunset.  Firing the gun, almost knocking me over, the flame coming out of the end and my amazement of the sight,  :o, almost made me forget the pain in my shoulder.  :P

It was my one and only cool experience with a gun.  Well except for shooting a bowling pin at 2 yards with a 9mm Glock.

it appears that only the ones coming out of dan's but are affordable...

well darn. guess i'll be single forever.

You guys need a chapel or something?

I'm an ordained minister . . . I could marry you in a nice little ceremony on the mountain surrounded by Ducs . . .

absolutely not to both of those boys.  :P

What ever you say hint-meister!

I know where you guys can get rings on the cheap!

I get one last go at Jacob tho.

 [roll]

Not on the radar man.


And no last go's either.  >:(

 ;D

What about sonar?

and radar spelled backwards is radar!

In other news... I found some much cheaper sources for new OEM parts for the CBR soon-to-be trackbike!  My initial estimate to make a trackbike (including the $850 Armour Bodies bodywork and Woodcraft frame sliders) was $3780.  I found a radiator for almost $150 less than the one I first found, plus savings on the other ancillaries like the throttle & clutch cables, the throttle-side switchgear, the upper cowling stay, etc.  New ready-to-track estimate including the same bodywork is now $3560 (that includes the $1960 buyback).

If I can find me some used parts for the remainder of the list, and if it turns out I don't need a whole new front brake master cylinder, I'll be able to lop another couple hundy off that total.

Soooo... what are some good options for track bodywork?  I mean, there's the flimsy $250 sets on fleaBay, but I read bad things about the generic cheap sets.  Then I see a full Armour Bodies set for $850 from Woodcraft.  Of course there are Sharkskinz, which it sounds like are the industry standard for track bodywork, and the 3 peices I'd need (upper front, lower, tail) come to $760.  To get the full set (including tank cover and front fender) would run more like $1000.  What is there in between, or is it even worth messing with?

So am I.  I have a laminated certificate to prove it.  ;)

you shush.   :P

So am I, I have the e-mail to prove it.

Dan

first off, I am no racer

so take my advice with a pack mule of salt

if you are going to start racing

the cost difference between fleabay skins and sharkskinz is chump change compared to the cost of the sport

and

you will crash, get bumped, drop the bike, or something that bangs up the bodywork

not to mention the increased forces on all the other parts

so IMNSHO

stop any and all madness associated with trying to be frugal about racing

if you are going to race

then race

buy the right parts to do it

and

don't make the beast with two backs around with a cheap machine

MOther . . . what's this "118" in your signature?

Ya know... you don't have to actually race... I may race next year... but I am having a blast doing as many track days as I can afford.... and I feel like I am becoming a much better rider because of it.... not sure if I can afford to do as much racing and track days as many of the fast guys.... but its still better than trying to ride within the speed limits on the road.  [moto]  ;D

they only know in whoville

Dan, let me know what Woodcraft parts you need.  They are one of my sponsors and I get a 40% discount.  Clip-on's, rear sets, sliders, stands (tho Im not a fan of them), etc. 

It may seem odd but it disturbs me that a company named Woodcraft makes metal parts for motorcycles.

I keep imagining a nice mahogany rear set or a walnut instrument cluster or . . .

heh. wood. heheheheh

OK smart guy . . . give me some famous 318s.  :D

According to Police chief Wiggum on The Simpsons; it is the Police code for waking a police officer in episode 5F06 Reality Bites

Ooh, sweeeeeet.  If the stock right clipon is broke or bent, I'll have you order a set of clipons for it.  Not sure on frame sliders... if I buy the Armour Bodies bodywork, it includes a set of Woodcraft sliders.

Speaking of which, is this sponsor discount only on Woodcraft-manufactured items like the clipons and rearsets?  They sell the Armour Bodies sets on their website.  Do you get a price break on those, too?



Not lookin' to race, at least not in the next year.  ;)  But I completely understand and agree.  If I wanted to set this wanker up and actually compete, I wouldn't be trying to save $150-$300 by getting a cheaper set of bodywork, I'd just order the good stuff.  For now, it's an opportunity to build a bike inexpensively that I, my Dad, or my brothers can use on the track (trackdays) without worrying about rashing up one of our street bikes.

<deep sigh>

Oh danny boy

can I call you danny boy?

that is how they get you

don't you see

Morilla is the pushahman

just gives you a taste...T.O.R. for 20 bucks

it's a free hit off the pipe mang

and then you get a "cheap" track bike for you and the fam...and soon enough you will be sucking <edited> to buy tires so you can race

Not sure on the bodywork, I think they are just a reseller for it.  Woodcraft makes the metal bits we use, and offer us the discount on those items I know for sure.

I will let you know on the body work.

 [laugh]

Won't ever stoop to sucking <whatever> for tires to race, but I see your point.  ;)

Ahh work... end-of-year evals suck.  Hyper-competitive type-A frenetic bosses aren't pleasant, either. [roll]

In one section of the e-mail he sent out about filling out our end-of-year self-evals, here's a snippet of what he said:


Umm, I really don't like telling anyone why I'm "better than everyone else."  I have no problem stating my virtues on a resume, but don't ask me to make myself look bigger or better than my teammates.  We are a team, working together to accomplish a common goal.  We have complimentary strengths and weaknesses. 

There are lots of companies with a culture where the employees are out to kill each other.  Rockwell Collins wasn't one of them.  Flight Dynamics (the Portland facility which is now wholly owned by R-C) wasn't one of them.  We had a culture where the employees worked together as a team, and the competition was external, against Raytheon, Honeywell, L3 Communications, BAE, Thales, and the like.  I did not bother sending applications to those corporations where the employees ran around scared, or where they tried to undermine each other in order to get ahead.  I have no desire to work for such a place.  I deliberately chose to work for a company that was known for having a friendly environment for the employees.  My first three bosses (two in Cedar Rapids and one here) exemplified that concept by building teams of people with complementary strengths, and working with employees on improving their weaknesses.  This current guy is... well, he's not exactly a shining example of Rockwell Collins' best practices.

I'll bring it up to management, let 'em know how I think (respectfully).  If the cutthroat mentality is where we're headed, I want no part of it.  I'm all for beating our outside competitors, but I have zero desire to work in an environment where we're all watching our backs for fellow employees undermining each other.

I always just answer those type questions with "becuz I am" and I seem to still get a raise every year.

I don't have to do any of this nonsense,and I get a raise every year. [thumbsup]

Go, Teamsters. 8)

Arun is in the Oregonian today with a picture, looks like he's on Super Bike. Pretty cool, the pusherman  [evil]

Dude... what section??

DM2 is the page, Advertising Supplment is the section.

Nah, that Scarabeo isn't the real thing... Arun sellin' one of those is like a crack dealer gettin' people n the door with "recreational" drugs.  [cheeky]  Hook 'em with a taste... then sell them a Ducati.  That's the real addiction.

Was teaching Julie to ride in an empty parking lot at the mall. We got busted by security after an hour. "Our insurance wont let people practive driving or riding in the parking lot." bla bla bla bla bla. Julie was doing great too!!! Guess we better get up earlier next time. Anybody have any suggestions for a better place to go out and tool around???

I always found the high school parking lots to be a pretty good bet. Most kids in my family learned to drive in one. Just be prepared for some kid to show up in the family suburban w/his mother teaching him how to drive (that would be your cue to LEAVE!!!!) It worked for me, I even taught my little sister to drive in the same lot I learned in.

The Doc

There is two parking lots that are deserted usually. One on the corner of menlo and allen (big church parking lot) and one on Hall (another church parking lot) if you went down allen and made a left on hall, go down a little ways around the bend on your right a big church parking lot.

Hey!  When is JBubble's next visit?

Labor day week.

Cool, we'll see you and your low blood preasure soon! :-*

Wouldn't it be ironic if Cierra gave birth on Labor day?  [cheeky]

Sounds good, when it gets closer we can plan a get together somewhere.


Thatd be a little early but I was 2 months early so I can't say nuthin.


It'll be nice to see everyone again.

anyone thinking about a labor day weekend ride?

I'm gonna fly in on the 30th so I'd be up for something Sunday or Monday if I could steal a bike (I'll ask the bear if I can borrow his) and a little bit of gear. I believe Mother is working the 30th and 31st so he probably wouldn't be up for anything. I'm sure he'll speak up if I'm wrong tho.

Salty,

I'm your man (not like in the Mo and Mother way, though  ;D ).  I mean for the Labor Day ride.

Men labor.  Labor Day is a labor free day, therefore, a man holiday.  Pure logic right there.

We will ride.

J

I'm takin' the week following Labor Day off.   [thumbsup]  I'd be up for a ride, and I definitely need to meet this "JBubble" character.  Gotta see who's stealin' Mudder away from Mo.  [cheeky]

Lets start a thread then all on its own see how many peeps we can get going....i dont care Sunday or Monday i have both days off. Weather looks like its cooperating on both days.

Now you gone done done it!  [roll]

Shhhhh!  You'll curse the whole weekend!





 ;)

shit your right.....

Fixed it for ya...  ;D

I need to gain some revenge on a coworker today. Anybody have any good practical jokes that wont get me fired? I am bored out of my mind... and he really deserves something smart.  [evil]

put a pager on vibrate and tape it to the back of his monitor or under his desk. Page it then let it drive him crazy as it vibrates every couple of minutes....

Tape a banana under his desk
"  " a fish " "
When he leaves his cube move a few items to the other side of his desk.  Rinse, repeat.

Take a screen shot on his monitor.  Display said screen shot.  Whenever he uses his mouse it won't click on anything.  Keyboard is useless as well.

Tape things down to the desk, pens, stapler...

Disconnect mouse.

I haven't worked in an office for a year so I'm rusty.

husband had a secretary that would drive him crazy!!!  His revenge was to lower her chair a quarter of a turn every day.  Not so much you'd notice, just enough to set her day off kilter.  next week, raise the chair. 

he's evil and I love him!!! ;D

did you know the letters on the keyboard can be picked up and switched?  Don't do them all, but figure out which ones they use often, and switch just those couple.  They'd recognize it if you switch too many...

keep us posted!

You guys have no imagination... that has all been done before... I need something to go down in the books as new and something to top his.

As a side note.... he bought a bunch of dog biscuits from one of them fancy doggie bakery places... they looked like Oreo cookies.... and he got the whole team to eat them.

This is what I have to top.

We had already done the keyboard thing... we spelled bad words.   ;D

Problem is you said you wanted to keep your job . . .

 ;)

If you have a Shipping Dept. you could shrink-wrap his automobile. It's harmless.

Fixed it for you.  ;)

the new guy in the cube right next to mine keeps clearing his throat all frikkin day long and hes loud when he does it. Its driving me NUTS!! [bacon]

some ass a couple cubes down has started clipping his nails or something. and then i have super gay guy on the other side of me talking about how hard it is to pass kidney stones and who's a bottom or top. Completely inappropriate.

He told me he liked bottom, WTF!

I just sold some things to the Czysz's for the C1 dyno intake. Heard word that our man Ray (the hater) is back with DNA, as employed.  [thumbsup]

Ray hates's us.

 [evil]

 ;D

I am going to the track today!! Woo hoo!!! Stop by and say hello if you wanna. Should be outside pits..easy on and off.

Okay... did I miss something... I just heard that MV Agusta was bought by Harley Davidson... WTF???

Old news . . . move along.

Sounds like they sealed the deal...

http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=33200

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=6909

The only reason I mentioned this was cause I hit up MotoCorsa today and there seemed like an unusual number of Harleys in the lot... I asked about it... and Mat said, "Ever since Harley bought MV.... they been coming around to see what it's all about."

I can just imagine the conversations in the show room now . . .   ;D

     Joe-Bob:  Hey, Elroy - lookee thar.  What's that purty shiny black mud gaurd made of?

     Elroy:  Oh, yeah.  Joe-Bob, that thar mateeriul is that new-fangled charcoal-fiber glass . . .

Zing.  Ouch.  I know.  I'm sorry.  I'm gonna to hell for that.   [evil]

Heh, good grief, there's some sheep for you. HD buys MV, and since HD has infinite wisdom, it is now O.K. to like MV.

I'm sure Dark Knight had nothing to do with it.

(http://boinkme.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/mv_r312_10.jpg)

Hell, even mouth-breathers like Batman.

I've always liked the look of MV. i don't know to much about the company itself, but if Hd just bought them, they must be going in the shitter. Pretty soon you start see make the beast with two backsing sissy bar's in the back of them and nothing but beer belly jackass's riding them. ;)

Will the shop that produce's MV be closed down or will Hd move the whole thing and Producer them along side Buell?

Here's more info on the HD/MV buyout...for now it looks as if MV will remain in Italy.. http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2008/07/11/harley-davidson-aquiring-mv-agusta-its-official/ (http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2008/07/11/harley-davidson-aquiring-mv-agusta-its-official/)

That Agusta has thee coolest tail of any moto.  [evil]

Yo Morilla, how were the races up in Kirkland? How's you do? Give us a report if you would.
Did the wife give birth yet?  8)

Due to corporate mergers/buyouts and such, it turns out that HD owned MV back in the late 60s/early 70s.  So MV is returning to a former owner. ;D

According to what I've seen, MV will remain in Italy with it's own r&d and design.   [thumbsup]

Speaking of nice tails . . . Jacob . . . your ride has a mighty fine rear.

 ;D

Whachoo smilin at?  ;D

Ohh... I get it... and the motorcycle looked nice too.   [evil]

 :-* to both of you.

Hey Billy.

The weekend was awesome!  I got 4 laps before my first race on Saturday.  :)  I will write up a full report and post it shortly, but here are the highlights;

First race took 9th, second took 11th, and third took 14th.  My lap times are pretty good for less then 28 laps total on the track.  My quickest was a 1:42, the fastest guys turn 1:30s as a reference.  :)

Cierra went with me, and no, spawn didnt pop out yet.  :)

I should also mention, I beat some of the local guys too.  :)

Swamp  ???

That was your first time on that speedway too huh? Good job dude  [thumbsup]

Thanks Billy, I really really enjoyed myself up there this weekend.  I am pretty sure you could see it on my face all weekend.  :)

Sounds like a good weekend Mo!  Can't wait to read the whole write-up.  [thumbsup]

Well, took my wheels into Cycle Gear to have the new Pilot Powers mounted and balanced.  So... anybody know, is it normal to have to discombobulate the front brakes to get the wheel off?  Wheel interferes with the calipers, so they had to get unbolted from the forks.  Calipers wouldn't fit between the rim and the rotors until I removed the pads.  Didn't realise how much I'd have to disassemble to just get the wheel off... wondering if that's normal.

I'm definitely gonna be buying a frontstand, because with two bikes of my own, and being a DIYer, I'm gonna need it.  ;)  So, anyone have experience with the Pit Bull as compared to the Woodcraft front stands?  They're the same price...  Mo, I think you've mentioned working with both... what're the pros and cons of each?  On the Pit Bull side of things, I'd be buying the "new" front, which apparently fixed the goofy pivot issue.

Oh yeah, Mo, we're gonna need to talk about a Woodcraft order... I'm accumulating a list of stuff that's needed.  ;)  Looks like two sets of 8mm swingarm slider spools, an '07 CBR600RR left side engine case guard, and clipons for an '05 CBR600RR.  I may need frame sliders for the '05 as well, but it depends on whether I order the Armour Bodies set this year... they're including a set of Woodcraft frame sliders.

Dan, did you remove your caliper bolts (you mentioned removing them from the forks), this is all you should need to do to get the calipers free of the rotors and out of the location between the outer rim and rotor.  All my bikes have enough space between the rotor and rim to remove the caliper.

Let me know about the woodcraft stuff and I will get it ordered.

Yeah, I removed the two bolts holding the caliper to the fork leg... then I couldn't get it out between the rotor and the rim.  Tried working with it for a few minutes, but all that resulted in was scratching the rim.  >:(  Finally I gave up and pulled the pads, then it would rotate just enough to come out between the rim and rotor.

I'll try to firm up the list of Woodcraft stuff here shortly.  What's your opinion of their front stand as opposed to the new Pit Bull design?  Or is there another brand you prefer?

Nice tagline BB.  [cheeky]

What is this "new" Pit Bull stand that you speak of? I shall search me a looksee

Awe yes

 [coffee]

okay

Hmmm

I prefer the construction of the pit bull brand over all others.  Tho the Woodcraft stand works, its kind of "flimsy" IMO.

Next time I see your SS I will take a look at the calipers.  Im guessing its a matter of twisting it this way, or that, to get it to clear the rotors without scratching your rims.  Elias may know too, he had one of those bikes (newer tho).

It's 3 am... still working... aint gone to bed yet... software that is dependant upon back end tables to trigger things.... aaaargh!!! I hate it when a plan doesn't come together.

Quitcher pregnant dogin . . . it pays for your toys  ;D

Shh.... don't make it sound like I am getting something good out of it.  [bang]

Which one? The Einstein quote, or the "right wing religious kook"?

I figgured they were both fitting. ;)

The kook one . . . you kook  [cheeky]

Thank you everybody for a wonderful time while I was in Oregon!

And special thanks to JohnnyDucati for escorting me and picking me up. Woulda been in some trouble without you. *big hugs*

Glad you had a good time, JB!  [thumbsup]


So yeah, in other inane ramblings... I test rode that beautiful ST4s at BMW of Western Oregon.  Schweet machine... but it really doesn't have enough legroom.  That, and the seat kind pushes one forward, so it's awkward to try scooting back in the saddle, and I gotta be able to move around on long rides.

Otherwise, it had Helibars, Throttlemeister barends, heated grips, Termi pipes, and I think it had the DP Comfort saddle.  Really clean bike, ultra-low miles.  Owned by an enthusiast with multiple motorcycles, which is why it had so few miles.  That 996 mill was awesome.  Merging onto the freeway in 2nd gear without even breathing hard... very nice, indeed.

If'n any of you are looking for an ST... go out there to the BMW shop in Tigard and look at that '04.  If it had more legroom, I'd be figuring out financing right now.  Instead, I'll be budgeting for and looking for an Uglystrada with the S package (Ohlins suspension, CF goodies, etc).

oh no!

I gave Mo gin for his b-day! 8)

 [evil] [evil]

krolik

Oh crap... so did I.... Veektooor and Ryan giving Mo gin... where is mother... I think he needs to be here.

Thankfully I escaped without harm . . . virginity in tact.  Not before he got in a butt grab though  :o

Yeah, Mo was passing out man-hugs left and right. :-X

Luckily I had my riding jacket on, and the back protector did it's job. ;D

Haters!

Thanks for coming out yesterday, I had a great time!!

You know what can really ruin a beautiful Sunday??? Having your bike in the shop... crikeys. I hope they call today and I can go pick it up... oh crap... they aren't open today either..... ya know.... Corsa needs to be open 24/7.  That would be cool.

On a side note... I almost took Julie's 250 out for a nice ride... just cause I was bored....

You know what else ruins a beautiful sunday?  Spending 4hrs from 10-2pm in the ED cause your kid has a high fever and has a rash broken out all over him, find out he has strep throat then come back home and hurry to get a metal cutting blade on your chop saw cause chuck is coming over at 4pm to help with your pipe chop job just to strip out the screw on your saw so you cant change the blades out then having to call chuck at 3:30 while hes on the road to call it off after youve been waiting all week to get those chopped pipes on and take a ride with some loud pipes. Now that sucks!!  [bang] [bang]

use a hack saw

If I had any reservations about you cancelling yesterday that absolves them all . . . yah I wanna be around a breeding pit of infection  :P

I just spent two hours on hold with the fircking IRS... for the lady to say... "Hold on, I think I have an answer for you... one more minute..." and then she hangs up on me..... aaargghhh..... and now the phone number, when I dial it back... says, "Due to an unusually high call volume, we can not accept your call at this time." CLICK.

If any private company was run the way the IRS is.... well, they would be bankrupt and sued by a million people.

This is why I find it humorous when the government is called to "investigate" private companies for running themselves like... well, like the government. [roll]

The sign at the Quik-e-mart on the corner of SE Holgate & SE 82nd has the perfect white trash haiku:

Cheap Beer
Lottery
Tobacco


 [evil]


Too bad I didn't have a camera. :'(

I'm G-ingTFO of here tomorrow. Who's got a washer/dryer, no cats, an unused area to park my loud-ass diesel, some garage space for my M900, and an empty room on the east side that they wanna rent me? :P

You stay put  ;)

I live near the aforementioned haiku with two cats and a pug  :-\

What happened? Job done? You quit?

Job done, all built, nothing left to do here. 8) Laid off, going back to the Shop off of Airport and 122nd.

Sadly, the only two points on this list that matches me is "washer/dryer" and "no cats"...  I only have a 1 bedroom apt, and being a straight guy, I'm not really into sharing that with another dude.  ;)

Still trying to figure out how to get my trackbike from my parents' garage into my own... between the bicycles, tool shelves, project car, spares, and the 900SS, it's pretty much stuffed.

Anyway, it'll be cool to have ya back in town, mang.  [thumbsup]

Awwww come on, what's wrong with a little man-love? Ask Mo and Mother, it's a beautiful thing!!   ;D

 [laugh]

That's debatable...

+11ty billion

Seriously. You're just not my type, Dan.

What?  You're not into beards?



 ;D

I went riding yesterday!!! Woo hoo!!! Yippeee!!!! Yehaw!

[puke]^10

There is nothing quite like good man love.

No, there's no debate about it.

NO M-A-N bits!  :-X

That's okay by me.


I knew you'd take my side on this one.

Dude... that's Chuck... he will take your side.... your front... your back... and then put you away wet. Don't give him an opening like that.  [bang]

Yeah, well, there are only so many non-innuendo ways to phrase stuff...

If someone wants to twist every possible phrase into a deplorable sexual joke, it's their problem they haven't figured out how to grow up.

But hey, why should I rant about this when Foamy has already done a pretty good job...
http://www.youtube.com/v/kBV7HahMUO8&hl=en&fs=1

Oooookay. So....ummmm...hows the weather out there?

I think I'm gonna get these to replace the busted up mirror I left Mother with. I'm almost positive they'll fit his bike but I figured I'd ask those more knowledgeable. They'll fit right?

(http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/images/BS070Ax.jpg)

Ooooo... Rizoma Retro Reverse mirrors. Very sexy!  [thumbsup]

Sorry, can't tell you if they'd fit or not, but I'd think so.

I think so too. They might even be the same that he has now but I kinda make the beast with two backsed those up.  :-[

Might even buy some for my bike.  ;D

Uh oh. Anything we should know about?

There's actually a mention of it in NMC. Thread is called The Curse or something. Basically I hit some deep gravel and washed out pretty good. Tank dent, rattle can paint job is worse than it was, bent clip on, mirror messed up, and I believe the control box (not sure if this is the right term, its where the turn signal buttons are and such) is messed up. Signals work tho. So bit by bit, I'm fixing what he'll let me fix (i.e. the tank is getting sent off in the winter, now I'm looking for mirrors whether he likes it or not).

Shit happens. Just wanna make sure I'm getting the right stuff to fix it up you know?

Although, at least I have a good reason for dumping the bike. I heard that someone backed over a coat hanger and dropped his.... ;D

Gotcha. Sounds like the damage is similar to when I put my bike in the ditch in May.

Those are some seriously sexy mirrors.

As for the control box, I'm guessing the switches don't always want to rock back and forth and/or cancel?

Not sure what exactly is up with the control box. It might just be cracked. I didn't get a chance to fully inspect it but the signals seemed to work fine and cancelled. I'll find out more technical details and make sure there's nothing I can do to fix those.

I really do like those mirrors. I'll just steal em for myself  [laugh]

I am not certain... but I think Dan just told me that I suck ass....  ;D    I am sure glad we have him around. I remember when he would never say something like that.  [thumbsup]  I think our boy is all grown up!

 [clap]

Are you suggesting I have not grown up?

Define grown up.

What makes someone more grown up then another?

Are you all grown up?

Oh boy, another uptight remark  :'( I'm crying again. Loosen up Dan-o, sin a little it helps. Get it wet and get some release.   [evil]   :-* peace

mmm... boobies...

And I have drag radials. :D Guess I'll wait it out.  :P

Sucks to be you right now. ;D

There's no red in there... sheesh!  Ya wuss!  :P  j/k

Can I get that same prescription please Dr. Bones?

So... they are finally finishing the damn Oleson Road... but that means a week of night paving... and the construction headquarters is directly accross from my master bedroom... all night... semi trucks going back and forth... and pavers and all that loud noises and flashing lights... and now we find out it gets worse... when they remove the construction office... they will replace it with a temporary fire station.... while they rebuild the old one... a year of 8-12 calls per day.... flashing lights and loud noises.... aaargh.... Don't get me wrong... firefighters are cool... and the EMT's are all nice peeps.... but sleep would be nice at some point too. Just venting.  [bang]

Good, so you'll be up when we are then, when we're dealing with a fussy newborn.

We'll call you.

Funny you say that. The chick next door is preggers... and she was going off on the fire chief last night at our community meeting... and we were trying to calm her down cause it wasn't his fault that the county was puting them there... but the baby room will be facing the fire station and about 25 feet from the sirens and lights.

Ryan do you sleep with a noise maker? No, not your wife. One of those little machines that makes white noise.

I used to date a guy that lived across the street from a station and the machine made a big difference.

I thought he lived in the fire station?

damn I get confused quickly these days.

Did you see the past tense in that sentence?

And I refuse to live in a fire station. The calls that come through the radio are make the beast with two backsing loud. Never. Ever.

Cat Calls?

or

Cat Cow?

quit confusing me!

unless the fire guys are rookies or just plain rahrah's

they will not leave the station code 3

they will drive out slowly until they are outside the residential area they are stationed in before turning on the lights and noisebox

they understand they don't want to piss in the sanbox


...except you are in Treasure Valley's area aren't you?...TVF&R?

they are all rahrah's

Yup... all TVF&R... although my neighbors had a fit when they pulled up in the engine.... they jake braked in the drive... and that engine growled loud enough to rattle the window panes... so the lights and noise when leaving may be nothing compared to when they return.

I sure pregnant dog a lot. I need alcohol.

Hhmm

this is my point of view

your neighbors are all pregnant doging now

and

will continue to pregnant dog and piss and moan and carry on like this is the worst thing to happen to them

right up to the point when grandpa has a stroke, grandma falls and breaks a hip, or little johny lights the curtains on fire

then all of a sudden

none of it will matter

and

having the firetruck next door will seem very advantageous

i used to think girls with long hair were advantageous, you know, handles!

"used to think" indicates that you no longer think that.... what changed?

one actually came to him and he no longer had to chase them into alleys and drag them out by their hair

Note: this is Mothers experience as well...

Wait, Mother has short hair, what did Mo drag him by!?!? :o


 ;D

Being pregnant actually makes your hair grow twice as fast.

Also twice as strong, doesn't pull out as easily.  [evil]

I don't know if I should have just read that.

I feel dirty...

Yet, oddly, aroused.

wait, Jacob is pregnant?

goddamnit.  >:(


 [laugh]



....me too....
 [evil]

well now the moodiness makes sense  :o


i kid baby! i kid!!
i wub you  :-*

When I wub him, it gets all sticky.  Same for you?

Yup. Then he falls asleep and snores.

strange, he usually has be get the peanut butter, then kicks me out, and asks me to let the dogs in.

he scares me.

 

me too dear. me too.

Hey guys.... keep a watch on them construction zones... according to the news today...

A rider in black on a red "high performance" motorcycle... ignored the plea of a flagger to slow down and ended up plowing through a flagger further down the road... giving the lady multiple broken bones.

I know this is not the type of riding that any of us do... but with all the construction going on... just be aware that the flaggers have a job to do... and it is to keep the road workers safe. Slow down a bit... or avoid the construction.

My venting is over... just hate when one idiot rider gives cycles a bad name in the news.

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/09/flagger_hurt_in_hitandrun_he_a.html

ok whatever

that article is a bunch of shit

several things wrong with it

1) there isn't a phantom rider out there using his bike to deliberately run down flaggers

2) He didn't aim for her, she froze up...target fixation on the biker. That is what we call victim hysteria

3) He didn't gun the motor, he downshifted, thus raising the motor RPM, also a part of victim hysteria

4) she is a flagger, not a god damn super hero, get out of the make the beast with two backsing road lady

Part of becoming a fire dewd is flagger school, it is actually the most dangerous part of our job, resullting in the most injuries

one thing that is preached over and over is NEVER stand in the path of traffic

use your sign, throw flares, throw the sign, do whatever, but do not stand in traffic

there are all kinds of things in the drivers line of sight behind you, mainly blinking lights, thus your 1 or 2 reflective stripes and your sign are not nearly enough to truly get someones attention

So now, this dumb pregnant dog violates the simplist/most importand rule, experiences the classic "deer in the headlights" effect

and

Now has the sympathy of public opinion

So an accident that was most likely a simple "I didn't see her"  or at worst a DUI

is now attempted murder with a hit and run felony

Granted the rider made a poor choice

but the media once again ramps up a one sided story for gore and glory

I hate the make the beast with two backsing media

Nice to hear your view point. I can see what you are talking about.  It's like the people who drive slowly in the fast lane cause they think that nobody should be speeding... so they take it into their own hands to correct the problem. Lady should have moved, yes. 

My only point to this was... rider had ample opportunity to slow down if construction workers had enough time to radio ahead to tell lady to slow him down... and now riders of "high performance" cycles get a bad name.

Just emphasizes my belief that people are stupid. All of them.  I could make exemptions  for you, me, and other people in the group... but I am too tired... and I am too stupid...  so... people are stupid. All of them.

Did you guys read the story?

There were two flaggers.  The first one was giving him the "slow down" sign with his hands, then once he stopped at the first flagger, they engaged in vocal love making for a few minutes, then the guy on the bike started moving forward, ran around a dump truck, and Second flagger (deer light effect lady) tried to stop him or some shit and got hit while the guy was trying to avoid a truck, and what ever else was happening at the same time.

However, no one should flee the scene of an accident, regardless of the reason for said accident.

Rider is a douche and the flagger an idiot, IMO.

I heard the story on the news this morning and then posted the link. I did re-read the story. I think you are correct - The rider is a douche and the flagger is an idiot.

It's sucks to here any one gets hurt just doing their job, and having some flagging time under the belt people can be real jackasses sometimes, while both were douche bags the funniest if there is a funny part was the description of the bike:

"The man was riding a red, high-performance motorcycle and wearing a black helmet and black motorcycle outfit. The driver appeared to be about 220 to 250 pounds and is possibly in his 30s." Yup that narrows it down to about half the bikes and riders on the street.

kinda points straight at Mo actually

anyone seen the 749 latlely?

I re-read the story

Here I'll even post it

Here's what Teresa Gunther remembers:

She was working as a flagger near a construction project at Northwest Thompson and Miller when her coworkers radioed ahead for her to stop a speeding motorcycle. So Gunther, 59, stepped into the road and called for the motorcyclist to slow down. The flaggers, she told him, were trying to save lives.

Instead of slowing down, the motorcyclist pointed his bike in her direction and accelerated.

"He aimed for me," she recalled, a bit groggily from her bed at Emanuel Hospital this morning. "He knew he hit me. He hit me head on.

"I feel like he tried to murder me," said Gunther, who has two broken legs, a deflated lung and a broken wrist.

Portland police are still looking for the motorcyclist. The man was riding a red, high-performance motorcycle and wearing a black helmet and black motorcycle outfit. The driver appeared to be about 220 to 250 pounds and is possibly in his 30s. The bike should have some front-end damage, police said.

She said she was hit while she stood about two blocks from the intersection of Northwest Thompson and Miller.

Gunther, who lives in the Gales Creek area and works for this Washington County company, said the incident should serve as a reminder to motorists: "They need to slow down at the orange signs and care about the people who are working in the road."




I don't see anything about stopping at the first flagger

or

anything about avoiding a dumptruck

so

tell us about the dumptruck maurice?

i cant believe the dude hit someone and drove away from it. Dam now thats some skills.

Word!   [evil]

 [bacon]

$1000 reward now... let's turn Mo in   ;D

I'll need to knock the dust of the 749 first.  It should at least look like its been rode.  :)

oh, and lick my taint you beethces

Not into sloppy seconds.  [puke]

Wait Jacobs pregnant, Ryan is a firefighter, and Mo is a phantom rider....

Whoaaaaaa... if you don't check the boards for a few days and you really get confused.

Where you been man? We misses you. You going to be on the track this weekend?

I have been at home or work mostly.  :-\

I am saving money as of now..... I see a new bike in the future.

I'll be racing Sunday.  ;D

No Saturday practice?  Need a sponsor?

is it october yet?

Okay, dredging up an old topic, because I didn't want this subject sitting unresolved.

I'd have gotten to these earlier, but:
--On Monday I was logged in for all of 5 minutes when I clicked a DMF thread title and got the "Server Busy" error.  It gave me that for the rest of the day.
--On Tuesday I wrote a 955-word essay in reply, only to rethink posting it.
--On Wednesday work was too nuts for me to rewrite said essay.

So here we are, on Thursday, and I'm finally getting around to last weekend's topic... so below you'll find the shorter version.


Sarcasm duly noted. ;)



I'm not going to sit here and pass judgment on individuals (regardless of the fact the name "Dan" is Hebrew for "He judged").  If you watched Foamy's rant and feel like you were targeted, then perhaps it's time for some introspection.  Each individual will have to determine that for themselves.

Not going to define "grown up" other than to say that there are certain behaviours which are not attributed to maturity... crass sexual jokes among them.

No, I certainly don't profess to be "all grown up."  When it comes to crass jokes, specifically, I'm less "grown up" than my church friends, but also consider my behaviour to be more mature than that of many members here.  Based on this experience, in the grand scheme of things I'd guess that I'm somewhere in the middle (again, on this specific subject matter).  Not on the low end, but there's still plenty of room for improvement.



I respectfully disagree.  Sin doesn't help.  Sin, like its partners procrastination and masturbation, kinda goes like thusly:
It may feel good while it lasts, but in the end, you're only screwing yourself.

----------------------
WARNING: Sermon Ahead
----------------------

Hellfire is a whale of a price to pay for the temporary "pleasure" of giving in to sin.  Besides, the guilty conscience after-the-fact far outweighs any temporary pleasure.  Why the guilty conscience?  Think of it this way: I know there's this dude, who ~2000 years ago allowed himself to be brutally killed to pay the penalty for the sins of people who openly despised Him.  I have a LOT of respect for that.  I'll be trying to honor Him and what He did, as opposed to ungraciously throwing His gift back in His face.  That "dude" is Jesus.

As an aside... I did leave for a while earlier this year.  People noticed, and sent messages, so I made time to come back.  Not sure why I was missed... if anything, I thought my open & blunt morality would have worn out its welcome a long time ago.

To be clear, I don't want anyone here to think that I hate them.  That is very far from the truth.  I appreciate all of you, and love you as brothers and fellow human beings.  Here's the deal: I firmly believe there is a heaven and a hell, and it is very disheartening to see people I care about rush toward a horrible eternal suffering for the sake of a little temporary "fun".  If/when I take a leave of absence, it's not because I don't like any of you... quite the opposite: it's because I cannot bear to watch the self-destructive habits & lifestyle choices of those I care about.

Kinda feels like this: [bang]

And now to live up to my handle:

Mark 12:28-31 (ESV, source: www.biblegateway.com)

Obviously, I often fail at this... but it's still the ideal I strive toward.  Love the sinner and hate the sin.

God bless, friends.  :)

Dan!! Welcome back. I hope you don't take our badgering to heart. I think you are a great guy and I respect your religious beliefs. I have my own, that I tend to keep to myself for my own reasons, but I wish I had your conviction.  We tend to flop those crass zingers back and forth at each other... mainly cause its the web... and it allows us to be crass without societal repercussions. Occassionally, it is even humorous. That foamy rant was one of the funniest things I had watched in awhile. I tend to agree with it. I am getting tired of the constant usage of, "That's what she said."  However, I still make just as many snarky comments as most of the crude and crass people on here. If I have offended... I am sorry. It was not the intent. I will try and share the crassness with those who like to keep score with zingers. It's not for everyone.

Other than that... I hope to see you at the track this weekend. Don't forget to print out one of them coupons from Mo's post.

All of you, can we please leave religion (whether its in defense of what you believe or pushing the button of someone that does believe) out of this board? Please? We obviously have widely different views and I'd like it for this to be a place where everyone can be respected and not be preached to or judged (yeah, you're judging us).

Can we also not poke a hornets nest with a stick? Please?

JBub - I only got one thing to say back to that.... uh.... boobies!!!!

(  o  Y  o   )
 

the one on the right is a little bigger than the other one. might wanna fix that  ;)



dude, i just dont wanna read about it on here. neither the pokin with a stick or the preaching. both sides should be respectful. if we wanna poke at each other for being immature and such, i got no problem with that. but it would be nice if religion could just stay on the politics board or on pm's.



i hate that i'm not gonna get back there til november. i'm gonna try to take a couple weeks to come out there tho and spend more time with y'all. Prolly close to Thanksgiving. Whats the weather like around then? Am i gonna be a BubblePopsicle?

My step dad is a preacher, my mom highly religious. I have 666 on my bike.....to each his own. People can believe whatever they like, i dont care as long as they dont judge me for what i stand for. Thats how it should be, whos to say whos right or wrong. Not me. [coffee]

It is ironic that one must first "grow up" or mature such that crass sexual jokes can be understood.   :-\

Off the topic.... or sorta on the topic.....


Jon - Your comments made me think something funny....

You guys remember being in grade school and having somebody tell you a crass joke.... and everybody laughing like it was the funniest thing on the planet... but nobody actually understood why it was funny... or what was funny about it... or why a dirty joke had nothing to do with dirt???? 

dunno.... just made me chuckle thinking about the stupid jokes we told...

I love you guys all no matter what, even if you hate me and me sensless posts. I never mean to offend anyone on here (or anywhere). I also enjoy our ridiculousness. Sometimes I break away from work for a few and open this board and find myself laughing out loud at you crazy foo's, we've all done that right?

Lets stay together. I don't want to brake up  :'(

God bless you sinners  :)

We both knew the day had to come.  Me and my monster had a talk and decided that it was time to give up that ugly beer tray she had hanging off the end.  I don't know what took me so long to do it because it looks so much better.  Here are a few pics people can check of the before and after.

Next mod will be a 14T front sprocket.  Still thinking about the integrated tail lights.  Maybe i will go smoked because dirteagles smoked lights on his tricolour looked pretty sick.

Hi, I'm Chuck and I'm a recovering DMLer!  ;D

I put the smoked integrated on my Duc and changed out the original orange lenses for smoke and I think it's looks fantastic... course I could be biased but I have a gotten a compliment or two on the bike.. :)

Good luck and the chop looks great!!

There are a few folk on here i'd like to poke

one in particular

 [coffee]

that better be me and not Mo.  >:(

 [laugh]

<poke>

<poke>

<poke>

Psssst . . .

<poke>
 [evil]

gawddamnit quit!  *smacks chuckles* no pokin from you!

Would you prefer a wet Willie?

<poke>

ewwwww!!!!

That'd be some funny shit.

Roll up next to someone at a stop light and give em a wet Willie.

Too bad y'all wear full face helmets . . . oh and I guess my gloves would get in the way . . . but still . . . FUNNNNNNY!  [cheeky]

<poke>

quit pokin me damnit!

ugh. it needs to hurry up and be october. right now.

hey, i asked yesterday but everyone was intent on reading scripture, whats the weather like out htere in November?

Thanks Jacob, last night was wonderful!

<poke>

Ummmm . . . you're asking the wrong guy.  My perspective of OR is 2 months of nice weather, 2 months of cool weather and 8 months of rain . . .

It's not truly accurate but I'm biased.

If I was gonna try to be accurate I'd say mid 40s to 50s and cloudy with a good chance of rain.

well, i should get used to it now right?  :) gonna try to come out and spend a longer amount time than 5 days.

November highs can range from low-40's to mid-60's.  Usually a high chance of rain... though we're roughly 10" behind on rain this year, so no telling whether the dry streak will continue, or if we're set to get a deluge soon.

Basically, any fair-weather riding I can do from October through April is a blessing above and beyond what is to be expected in the Willamette Valley.  May is a crapshoot, June is usually getting good, July-August are generally great (if a little hot sometimes), and September rapidly goes from good during the first week or two to crapshoot by the end of the month.

I think Chuckles' analysis is pretty good, actually.  ;D  2 months nice, 2 months cool, 8 months of rain.

If it's rainin', put on some stuff to keep ya dry... sheesh!  :P

Let us know and maybe we can make it over to meet/visit...

I'd like that Marv.  [thumbsup]

Hey... this sounds an awfull lot like politics... and as much as both parties sound like inane rambling.. we must keep our Pac NW section safe from the Mods.

Please talk boobies or bikes. Then we stay safe.  [laugh]

Also jump to page 3 and check out the in-car camera leading up to the wreck.

Just another reminder of why it's important to have good safety gear... this guy was in a cage, and we're on bikes, sure, but he left the track at 95 mph after a brake failure (think: entering PIR turn 1 after a brake failure  :o)... just imagine your own body flipping through the air like that...  that expensive suit feels a lot more worthwhile now, doesn't it?

I was trying to find a way to not spend $1000 on a Dainese Laguna Seca suit.  After seeing crash pics like these, it has reminded me that a thousand bucks for proper safety gear is actually quite a good deal.

Speaking of crash pics... anyone know where those pics are of the red/silver MV Agusta F4 which had that epic crash at PIR last this year?

Go to Motorcycle Events  -> Cascade Tracktime 5/8/08 -> Crash

Then you see all the mayhem

Don't be aroused by my confession,
Unless you don't give a good goddamn about redemption
I know Christ is coming
But so am I
You would too if the sexy devil caught your eye
She'll suck you dry
But still you'll cry to get back in her bosom
To do it again
She'll make you weep
But the more you'll cry to be back in her bosom
And do it again

Jesus has risen to no surprise
Even he would martyr his momma to ride to hell between those thighs
Pressure is building at the base of my spine
If I've got to sin to see you again
Then I'm gonna lie lie lie
She'll make you cry
Puscifer lyrics

7:00 PM and all is well.

That is all.

Played in a pool tournament at the coast... some highlights were filmed for ESPN... hung out with the professional womens pool players at their private party every night... I am still detoxing.... please talk quietly.

Cool.

Although, no pictures?  then it didn't happen  ;D.

Oh... I got lotsa pics on my cell phone... they aren't going anywhere though... you can see em next time I see ya... I hurt... jaegger bombs and tequilla shots... oye.. I may go home and pass out...

You really do have a hard life, Ryan.

Any pics of the (in)famous Chrissy?  ;)

I haven't the froggiest idea what you are talking about.  [roll]  ;D


It took me two days to detox from that party... last night I felt like I could slit my wrists and bleed 140 proof. That is a hard life. Yikes. It was fun though.  ;D

he he he he.... today is 1098.... er 10/09/08  ;D

Guess that means you're buying me one today then . . . right?

Ummmm. . . hey you asked me if I'd received your PM a while back and I said no . . . yah . . . still haven't gotten it.

Did you look at all them holy hell pics?

Well yes.  Most were from the DML Boobies thread as I recall.  About half of them appeared to be Randall's collection  ;)

But no.  I'm referring to I didn't get the picture titled "Everyone has a slipper clutch" and you said to check my PM.  That was AFTER . . .

Yeah... I guess it was not meant to be.

Hey Chuck, "Everyone has a slipper clutch" was just a picture of a hand with an extended middle finger.

(DISCLAIMER: this is an undirected rant, not targeted at anyone on this board, I'm just frustrated with idjits on my way to work and need to vent)


PEOPLE!

When you're in the right-hand only lane

and straight through has a red light

but you have a green arrow

that means:

EFFING GO!   [bang]


Some simple instructions:

Hit blinker

Tap brakes to scrub off excess speed

clutch in
throttle blip
downshift
clutch out

round the corner

accelerate back up to the speed limit

Easy, efficient, and keeps traffic flowing.

This isn't rocket science.  [roll]

Two points here....
First point - Okay... I laughed really hard till I fell out of my chair... does that make me sick and wrong??? 
Second point - Does this mean he asked and you said no????

First point: Yes, you are so very very sick. And I like it!!!   ;D

Second point:  [laugh]    No asking has been done cause neither one of us is ready for that yet.  [thumbsup]

I doubt "no" will be the answer if/when that happens.  ;)

 ;D   Clear as a bell now.

How 'bout now?

So if JBub marries Mother, would her new name be Mrs Mother?  Mrs Father?  Mrs Taint?  Just curious... :P   [popcorn]

Oh and mmm... boobies...

------------------------------------

I was shopping for .50 BMGs... specifically uppers for the AR-15, like the Ferret 50s, or the UltraMag 50 (http://www.safetyharborfirearms.com/UltraMag_50/ultramag_50.html), which I can use with the lower receiver from my Bushmaster AR-15.  Another cool one is the ALS (http://www.50bmg.net/pilot.asp?pg=default) upper conversion from a company here in Oregon.  Then I saw a link to Anzio Ironworks and their Anzio-50 (http://www.anzioironworks.com/anzio-50.htm).  The front page of the Anzio website had the unbelievable beasty that prompted this post.  20mm!!!  Yikes!  Makes .50 BMG look like a plinking round!

Anzio has some neat stuff, I really like their takedown lightweight fifty. They have a real crap-ass reputation in the BMG community, unfortunately, due to the tubular construction which most regard in a bad light. They share their designer with Safety Harbor's. I've been seriously thinking about putting in an order with ALS. Their track record at comp shoots is amazing, and the only arguable factor is their weight, 'cause the price is nothing to whine about in comparison to other full rig setups. My second pick would be a Ferret. Interchangeable barrels for the win.

Just got back from another week in Buffalo. Have I mentioned that downtown Buffalo is a ghost town at night? Nothing to do at all. Yikes. Anyhow, it is nice to be back in Portland. I wish the weather was better.

Shit, Ryan.  Buffalo?

Glad you made it out there of alive . . .  ;D

Boobies!

The right ones leave you a place to hang your donuts before consumption!  ;D

There's a topless donut shop in Portland, but its the other Portland.

This post is worthless without pictures, address, and web url.

Warning: looking at the homepage for a strip club while you're at work will probably get you fired. Unless you own the joint, in which case, make the beast with two backs 'em.

Stupid me... I should have assumed NSFW....

Me too.  :-\

Should I figure out a way to come back out there in November or should I wait for December which is what I have currently planned?

How did we go from a video of a ref interfering in a football game to... a topless donut shop?

...

nvm, for a second there I forgot which forum I was on.  [roll]

Weather is gonna suck either way.   :'(

True. I'm coming in December no matter what. Just wondering if I should make a quick trip in November so I don't have to wait two months to see him again. Ya know?  :-\

My motto is to come as often as you can.  [evil]

Giggle.

 ;D

Damn good motto!  ;D

I second that thought/action.... :)

November up until Thxgiving is just dreary, unless the ski lifts open early.  It's all good after that, imo.

December has Christmas to gear up for, festivites galore (many/most involving drinking).

I want to see Mother dress up as Bad Santa.  Hmm, can't decide, would Mo or Jbubble make a better elf? hmmmm - what criteria makes a good elf? . . . hmmm . . .

Well....if elves wear cute little skirts and revealing tops, I would prolly win.

But it will be a close one cause Mo is a pretty pretty man.  [thumbsup]

I dunno what I'm gonna do at the moment. If I can scrounge up enough money, I'll try to convince him to let me come out there in November. We'll see.  :-\

Make him suffer!  [evil] [bacon]

im riding to work today Beatches!!

I was gonna until I checked the thermo and it said 38!

There was snow or hoar frost yesterday on my route.  There's a reason I don't ride if the temp is under 45.

You and i must get up and hit the computer around the same time in the morning chuck. Im usually on between 5:30-6:15am before i go to work. Thats the same time i notice your replies starting appearing. Not that im a stalker or anything.  [laugh]

I need a new stalker.  Miss Traci started out with great potential but then totally sucked out.

And yah Ryan, you can tell her I said that.  ;D

Miss Traci is now a Mrs. Traci... and she is totally lame now.

I had to scrape ice off the windshield this morning... no friggen way I was going to ride in.

I rode in yesterday and today, kinda fun  [moto] back to the layers and that

An 848... on Dragon Supercorsa Pros... on ice...  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

my hands were frikkin frozen by the time i made it to work. Those gloves i have suck ass if its close to freezing out.  Was a nice ride home though!

Salty - REI has these satin/silk glove liners that are $10 a pair.  Primarily used for skiing, but excellent for us hooligan bikers, too.

I got me some and wear 'em inside my regular moto gloves and it makes my hands a lot happier.  A bargain for $10.

JohnnyD

Got those too JohnnyD... works great!!  :)

Wassup, Marvelous?  how's things?  you need to visit your peeps here in Pdx soon.  We be missin' you.

Yeah, it's been a while, eh?  What I NEED to do is get G a motorcycle but that won't happen until next year at the earliest.  She hasn't been the same, won't even ride Cara.  She's only ridden twice since she sold Ari... :(  But back on topic, yes, we need to come visit sometime soon.  I know she wants to see the baby very badly, but it's difficult since we work opposite days... We'll figure it out! 

Anyhoo, hope everyone is going fantastic and keep the rubber side down!
m

It'd be nice to finally meet the dynamic duo!

Oh, and we should do our own version of Toasty for the DMF!

i think you are the only two off this board i havent met yet......

My wifes sister lives in Bend, we usually go to bend a few times a year to visit. Ill have to look you up next time we go there. I still want to take a MC ride to Bend. I like the desert.

I like dessert.  [thumbsup]

Is she hawt?  Is she into short, fat, bald, quirky, married guys?  [evil]

doh! spell check is not in my vocabulary....

No.. I think you were right.... you like the DESERT... sand and shat.... I like DESSERT... cake and candy and such.  ;D

My wifes sister is single, shes 43 and good looking. Any ducati riders want to meet her?  [beer]

That'd be awesome if you came over to visit!!  I like dessert as well...

mmmm... boobies... it's what's for dessert!  :P

Why do you think I was asking about her?  ;)

Because you're a perv.  ;D

That's a given . . . although someone last night was giving me a run for the title  [bow_down]

Who????

By the way.... hot blonde looked HOT last night.... I loved her outfit.  Thanx for bringing her.   [thumbsup]

I'll let that individual make their own case for replacing me.

I thought HOT Blonde was the only reason you guys invited me  ;D

Wow......  :o

L'attrezzatura di Kristine era molto bella.  [thumbsup]

Fee fi fo fum. I smell the... er... uh... nothing actually. Where the hell is everybody? Usually, there is at least one smelly person online... most of the time there is multiple smelly peeps.

Hi.

She's Neenja again! All is right with the world...

it is the calm before the storm.....

C!  Was wondering where the heck you'd been...  how're you and Desmo Jr.?

Hello! You getting any sleep yet? Or does Mo cry all night?

Mo Jr. cries all night, and wants booby every 2 hours. But it's all good. Who's coming to see him next?

Just like his dad.

 [laugh]

That's some funny shit!  [laugh]

My point is who DOESN'T want boobie every 2 hours (or less)?? 

+1

(Or +2 if you're counting individual boobies.)

I second that motion... or "Double D" it.  ;D

I want to see the wee one

I just thought i would share the joy that i have in my heart that Greg Oden got injured, again... I can't stop laughing about it he really is turning out to be quiet the superstar player  [laugh] [laugh]

I love his stats:
1 year of college ball limited to 32 games due to wrist injury
injured knee in training camp out for rookie season in the NBA
12.51 played in opening game of his second season before being injured again (unknown extent of injury waiting on MRI)
0-4 from the field 0-2 from the line
2 fouls
1 block

he has made 5109.70 dollars per second he has been on the court in regualtion time not bad for 12 minutes 51 seconds of "work"

et te et te et te et te

I'm not sure but that coulda been the conversation that preceded Cierra's pregnancy  :P

I was about to say something to the effect, "Hasn't he already seen the wee one and the attached taint"?
