This guy is a commercial pilot...no fear of speed...and no concept of traction. ;D

If I was on the old 750 there would have been no way I would have kept up with him.

The straights at NHMS are short...but there are too many for 62hp to keep up with 150 or 60 at my skill level.

morning.

dp, I totally understand students that won't listen. Keep at it maybe you can help him avoid the highside. :-\
Hopefully I'll get another chance before that happens

I don't disagree with any of you.

However, "Some people only learn with broken collar bones" does certainly apply here, the guy is also pushing his limit, which is when we learn new things.  If you always ride at 7/10, you don't really progress much.

Think of being on the track, then following a much faster rider.  All of the sudden you can step it up a notch and it's no big deal.

Do I think this guy should slow it down, uh huh ;D

But he's certainly not afraid to get out there and try stuff ;D

[flame suit engage]

Post -n- run, ive slacked enough today already ;D

You walked before you ran...you still learned how to run.

The only limit the guy was pushing was how long he could hold the throttle open.

You don't learn mechanics or corner speed that way.

hey...if that's the way he wants to learn...I fine with it. [evil]

More ning, all.

JM, you, and most in your profession deserve to be paid $1,000,000/year.

At Brewing Market this morning another teacher stopping in to get her morning fix.  No caffeine allowed on school property - anywhere.  What happened to the days of the rumored open bar in the teacher's lounge?  This "Drug-Free Zone" has gone a little too far.


It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Morning    [coffee] .   Weird dream last night.  I dreamed my right foot was taken off at the hospital. ?
I then jumped around town on one leg for a while.  At a BART station (Bay Area rapid transit trains) I was hopping about and then my foot was back and I could walk. ?

You hopped all the way to SF?

How long were you sleeping? [cheeky]

Maybe one of your feeet is feeling neglected?

Maybe the hopping foot is feeling overworked?

Maybe you were sleeping in such a way that the foot fell asleep. 

When I first moved to Buffalo, I had lots of dreams of being shot.  Usually, there is 1 killing a day and alway reported in the media.  A lot more voilent than VT.

I couldn't work in that school district/at that school...  There would be a road rage incident with my bus the 1st time a car passed me with a steaming cup of joe in the cupholder    [laugh]

Now, if he get's flicked into orbit because he's riding that way,  [roll] to him
