commuting too much

[zackybilly1]

If you can hardly wait to see the next mile marker to determine if you were zoned out and missed your exit....you might be spending too much time on the slab.

If you are riding solo and log miles riding on the passenger seat....you might be spending too much time on the slab.

If you ride 100 miles hands free on the cruise control...you might be spending too much time on the slab.

If you are running an auxilary fuel tank and your foot doesn't touch the ground for 500 miles...you might be spending too much time on the slab.

If you take an off ramp and you are expecting to hear pegs dragging....you might be spending too much time on the slab.

If you get off the bike to pump fuel and the seat is cover with food crumbs...you might be spending too much time on the slab.

If you are keeping an eye out for the Texas State Troopers and later remember you are in New Mexico....you might be spending too much time on the slab.


An I-10 M/C tire...

These replies are Hilarious! Thanks for making my day brighter. These will probably make it to other forums in the distant future.

Is this a Salvadore Dali piece?

If you had to get XM because you commute beyond any FM coverage.....

Close. It's Rube Goldberg.

If you look forward to the freeway on-ramp because it's "twisty"...

This one!!!

Amen! Of course that kinda applies to where I live.

Back when I lived in Buena Park, and commuted to Huntington Beach down Beach Blvd, I would "occasionally" run the entire cloverleaf for the 22 at Beach...If you took all four branches, you'd wind up heading back in the original direction of travel...

No girlie pix on the wall....I'm holding out for brass poles and four Bose 901's. Their ETA is in late March after I get back from JAX. Besides the brass poles, I've got another shop farkle lined up that I've never, ever seen in anyone else's shop that is cool as ****. I can't say what it is at the moment but will say it require 208 volts/ 3 phase and 16 feet in diameter. I will post pics so you'll know it did happen.

I've got a camera and ain't afraid to use it.

If you wish the traffic would just come to a standstill so you could "make some time" splitting lanes.........

If you have nightmares about freeways full of nothing but Toyota Prius's...

Guilty, I use a couple every day and they aren't that much to talk about.

That's a lot of laundry. Opening a laundromat?

Better than just the middle!

Shop farkle fresh off the truck.... came in earlier than expected...much to my relief.

Yeah, given it's surroundings that machine fits right in.

Have fun!

Bgross,

I am having fun with it. I've got a couple of bikes that are going to JAX as loaners and started swapping tires last night. Takes about 1-1/2 minutes to swap tires and then 45 minutes to balance them (breaking them down and repositioning the tire to minimize weights, etc.).

I would have put a BattleAx rear tire on the front but am trying to use up the Stones I have on hand.

I'll be glad when I can start wearing out some FJR tires.... poor thing...some how or another, it got scattered all over my shop.
