No skills and no brains, walk or get a ride from someone who has those.

lol, hate to laugh at a bad subject but it hit me light.
the rest was well said, although a tic rough around the edges, the message was clear to understand.

JVS and Tony (and others), sorry for the loss.

Safety and Riding Tips / Re: A friendly motorist gets you a ticket.

on a tri state a few years ago, we all got pulled over for running the stop, this very way in wabasha in town. the gropup got on 10 i think it is, and they took off up the hill, squads came flying from behind, quite a few. Could have been the people i was with, not sure., i was ran and let go with nothing.

(same diesel day, one guy was nuts to butts for a few miles, not sure what anyone else got for tickets)

i would fly, just me. sounds like you would have to slab to the coast but not sure. (have never ridden there)If it was important to me to be there, i would want to be there and catch one of the trips out west or somewhere next year. hope that makes sense and sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the tangent ...

But what the hell is a 16 year old girl doing in a place where she can get a ride from a drunk 52 year old? Mr. Carlson has a history of bad decisions, but it still makes me wonder why he would even risk putting himself near the trouble of a hauling a young girl on the back of his bike. He was begging for trouble, aware or not.
well said

The girl suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as a gash on her thigh. Her parents said Thursday she still can attend only a half day of school.....................

what ??? traumatic brain injury, half a day of school.......

No, but you did used to see racers wearing woolen jerseys, pudding bowls and goggles.   Things might change.....

not to fan the flames or anything, just thought pudding bowls was funny as hell early in the morning.

« on: August 15, 2012, 01:38:44 PM »
I have been on many rides where experienced riders went down, including inexperienced me, and were glad others were there to help them, ..............

well, i can only speak for myself, if i was on rides where shit tons of people kept going down, i would be finding different people to ride with.  ;)  The group can be a safety thing if something happens to someone, mechanical breakdowns or crashes, or getting lost. 

hope that makes sense. i would rather solo and have fun then ride with people with higher probabilities of crashing. not that things don't happen, they do. It seems that "some groups" have it happen MUCH more than other groups.

as far as sweeping, i can get thrown off a bit by throttle junkies hammering it out of every corner. hard to get my rhythm if that makes sense, i like being back there, i can relax, push, or a combination at any time. my mirrors are HUGE so makes spotting very easy, and if all else fails, my 1400 handles good down the straights too  :D  when it gets harder or more frustrating is the yoyo with BIG straightaway speed rides , i don't care to hammer the throttle all day.
