    I just had the pleasure ...

    Heck, 70% of folks at my current place of employment would be permanently in jail on that charge... I went to a strict Lutheran high school. My social studies teacher was apparently a very attractive male, judging from the female students' comments. For some reason, we went on a field trip to...

    Could be worse...

    True, but apparently people pay it w/o a quiver. Personally when I started this job by the airport, I took one look at the price on the pump, said "**** NO!" and drove off. I seem to be the only one able to do that. So there's seemingly a very high demand for expensive gas near the airport as...

    Could be worse...

    So I'm going to lunch, and this guy in a doo-rag and shorts pulls up next to me at the light on his Hardly Ableson with loud pipes. BLAP BLAP BLAP BLAP. He looks at me wearing ATTGATT in 90F temperatures on my all-plastic inline-4 Jap bike. He visibly decides he needs gas badly enough to talk...

    Ugh. I'm so tired of the Fair Weather poseur doo-rag "bikers"

    Or when you're going to Daytona and they do the same on I-4 taking up BOTH lanes (at least until 80,000lbs of semi-truck gets an inch off their rear fender - they tend to get that "hint") Heh. I still remember the YouTube video of a buncha pirates on The Dragon going straight when the road...

    Ugh. I'm so tired of the Fair Weather poseur doo-rag "bikers"

    Good question... I don't know why it got me so disgusted. I guess it's because the past month has been so super extra nice and it seems such a waste not to be out in it.

    The right Sport Touring bike does not exist

    And that's why I've decided to skip the visit to Arizona in the middle of the summer! Plus I've now had the pleasure of reading her blog and realize she is serious about things. More on topic, Micapeak used to have a really good short-bikes list, but that was back in the Ninja 900 years...

    Ugh. I'm so tired of the Fair Weather poseur doo-rag "bikers"

    It's a GORGEOUS postcard-quality sunny Florida day, and there's a dozen empty bike spaces in the company parking lot, except for my SV-650 and a friend's VTX.

    The right Sport Touring bike does not exist

    Oh yeah. I had 3 E45 bags on my SV once... I'll not post the pictures so you don't have to claw your eyes out, but it did bring home the groceries, and it did get me to the Honda Hoot and back. I'm a guy though... I don't care how it looks, as long as it functions. I could literally carry an...

    I didn't realize that I was carrying around Big Brother

    From what I can tell, it's how he gets his paycheck. Some of the really little town's budgets are funded by speeding tickets. I know one town where you come off a 60mph blind curving overpass right into a stoplight at the bottom of the hill and 20mph limit. When I was a college student regularly...

    How NOT to Check Your Front Fender Bolts

    Sigh... I miss "Crash'n'Burn" magazine. I'm glad I saved all my copies, they were hilarious.

    I didn't realize that I was carrying around Big Brother

    Well what I also didn't understand is how they were getting away with this in Europe, where the data protection/privacy laws are a lot stronger than here. Turns out the Dutch aren't part of that, from what I can tell, and I know Australia isn't. If they tried that here, they'd be sued so bad...

    Pressure bleeder adapters

    Got a pic of the adapter from Motive Products customer service today: Nice try, guys.

    Spoiling for California

    That train pic is SWEET. I'd *love* to ride a honest-to-god steam train, but just seeing one is cool enough.

    LOST in a sea of Harleys

    Gotta say... that's a nice lookin' rear end... um, on that FJR!

    I didn't realize that I was carrying around Big Brother

    Well so far, the phone companies are pretty good about requiring a warrant, and they don't sell it on their own.

    I didn't realize that I was carrying around Big Brother

    Yebbut, it's the attitude of the company. First Garmin screws me with ultra-expensive map "updates" that aren't, then TomTom not only has a crappy UI, they do this. My next "GPS" will probably be an Android tablet of some sort. I'd love an iPad, except Steve Jobs is such a ****. I have limited...

    FYI, TomTom is going to sell data to the cops again, at least in Australia.

    I guess he was feeling a little loggy though? His suspension was a little wooden?

    lane splitting gone awry

    When I was a student at UCF, I was heading to class and I recognized one of my roommates' car in the left lane. His GF was chilling out with her foot sticking out the window. I was on my silent-but-deadly CB450SC and reached out and grabbed her foot as I went by. He said he was laughing so hard...
