  1. Just got mine in the mail today.
  2. Well, keep it outta my cheek next time!
  3. I'd love to see some non-vendor-generated data that supported that contention. I think it's mostly myth. An air horn would be louder, could be directed forward toward any on-coming threat, not backwards like pipes, and wouldn't annoy the neighbors. If loud pipes were a great idea, wouldn't all bikes have them? Wouldn't someone be making noise about mandating them?
  4. Be seein' ya in the trauma ward.
  5. [snark] Superannoying 'loud pipe' option - check. [/snark]
  6. Looks like any Berkeley/Cambridge coed....except for the automatic weapon.
  7. i knew i recognized that bike...
  8. Like to give one of these a try:
  9. The only down side to this is that, unless you train yourself otherwise, every weird smell sets off an alarm in your head that something is wrong with your bike.
  10. Stop making me want one of those!

    Where's this?

    For anyone who cares (possibly everyone except Fairweather), the statue above is next to the Alpine Chapel built by the owner of Boehm's Chocolates in Issaquah. Good stuff. Interesting mountaineering history behind the founder as well. http://www.boehmscandies.com/catalog/aboutboehms.php "Julius became a child of the mountains, and utilized his mountaineering skills to escape the Hitler tyranny in 1939 and fled to Switzerland. From there he came to the Pacific Northwest in 1941." Even a middle-aged grumpus on a rice-burner can appreciate that.

    It is a Rotax. BTW, again, that's not my bike (you'd know this if you had reading skilz). With my bike and my 32 inch inseam, I'm on my toes when I come to a stop. You must be one short bastard. It's not a faux political/religious hate thread either. Some folks I know play this tag thing with our motorcycles as a way of discovering interesting new things around our area. We were having real problems figuring this one out and was just looking for some help. Finally figured it out on my own. Maybe you ought to spend less time a) making bad attempts at trolls and/or b) figuring out how anything anyone says is somehow intended as a slight or slur against your particular beliefs. Really, I think you need to talk about this with someone about this or spend less time in places with people who irritate you or something. You're going to end up with an ulcer or Irritable Man Syndrome or something. PS. I don't like your POS rice burner of a bike either. So there.
  14. Seems our Aussie cousins aren't immune to the American disease: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/mans-heart-stops-after-red-bull-overdose/2007/08/18/1186857834956.html Only 8? Man up there, mate. He's got a few 'roos loose in the top paddock.
  15. I'm suprised no one has ever caught and strung up any of these idiots on a pole as an example to the others. The thiefs/tweakers that is....
  16. Drunk in Sverige? That must mean you have no money left. If you were smart, you'd go to one of the student nations at the local universitet. Cheaper booze and lots of hot girls dancing with each other while their ostensible 'boy friends' hang out with each other getting drunk.

    Trailers are for pulling your Hardly Ableson to the next rally.

    Huckleberries?

    Mango margaritas also rock, but don't turn your mouth purple. Good liquid sunshine when you're feeling wet and soggy from to much PNW rain and want to think you're in Mexico.

    Never mind. Figured it out.

    Good answer, but not my bike.

    Anyone know where this sculpture is located in Seattle?
  22. question global warming question global warming conspiracy theories
  23. Questions are unpatriotic, even if they're good questions. Data means nothing, unless it's our data.
