General Banter / Good day or bad?
« on: April 18, 2012, 11:50:33 PM »
So I get a call from Hope today and she wants to know if I would like to go ride into Welch. Sure right after work will that work. It's a go and she comes over to my house and away we go. Just as we were getting on Hwy 52 ramp my cell goes off so I pull over to see who it is. Well it's Leo's and they said that the bike is at the docks but that is all he knows right now. Good new right. So off to Welch we go. We get into town and I cross the bridge and make the left turn going South. I look in my right mirror to see if she is ok and I don't see her. So I quick turn around my right shoulder and I hear this screaming engine noise from my left. I turn around and here is that little teany weany 250 passing me. You racers know what I mean when you turn to one side and they are passing you on the other. What the H___! What was Lloyd teaching her in that class last weekend in that what ever you call it day beginners day. We get into Vasa and she says I didn't know you could ride that bike that fast. WHAT! WHAT! Turns around and rides it back leading all the way. No brake lights perfect lines. I was holding my breath. We get to the end and she says that things are starting to click. Lloyd when is that next class. There are 2 girls on this forum that can pass me I need to sign up right away. This is turning into a bad day. Then I noticed all this white grease on her chain and then I remeber that I put that on there the day before. So that's why the bike is so fast. Well I left her to ride on her own and went home. Get there and the phone is ringing and it is Leo's again and they said that the bike is on a truck and should be here in about a week. Now that is good news because I need something to stop the girls from passing me.

General Banter / Motorcycle license who needs one
« on: February 20, 2012, 08:56:10 AM »
Did you know that Jorge Lorenzo doesn't have a motorcycle license. He is going to school to take his test. Do you think he will pass. He might not pass the speed limit part of the test.

General Banter / Con or a good deal.
« on: December 30, 2011, 05:48:44 PM »
You get a ticket and you show up to see the prosecutor. He give you a choice of $145 or $275. Both you plead guilty. The cheaper price the ticket goes on your driving record. The other you are paying prosecution costs not the fine and if you don't get another ticket that the court hears about for one year they will dismiss the case. But if you do they will send the ticket to the state DOT.
Is this a big con or a good deal. You have less than a minute to decide.

General Banter / Bambi
« on: August 14, 2011, 02:35:24 AM »
A friend told me if your going to hit a dear hit it in the middle. Thanks Ray. That's just what I did. I  Know some don't believe in God but he was watching me at that moment. I was able to hit the dear and pull over and come to a complete stop. I had Hope on the back and she told me she sure was scared. I laugh some times when I see others shaking after a crash and after I laid on the ground for a while to let the paid go down. I took some clothes off and found myself doing that very same thing. The impact was something else and the noise was too. I didn't even know that there was any one else on the road at that time, but everyone stopped to see if I was alright. And one couple would not leave until we got the bike running  and then took all the parts some place so I could come back and get them latter. Very nice indeed. The bike, well it rip everything off on both sides and bottom. The mirrors were still on there I don't know why and the speedo. It looks like a naked bike. Thanks to Ken and Dave for following all the way home. I had no lights you couldn't even find a piece of anything that looked like it was a part of the head light. Well we'll see how I feel in the morning.

General Banter / BIR This Sunday
« on: July 15, 2011, 08:28:44 PM »
Well I'm going up to BIR this Sunday to do a trackday. So after all these years of talking the talk. Everybody is forcing me to enter a race and walking the walk. This is going to be on the long course just like the old days. It would be nice to be in the front row but that is not the case, I'm in the last row on the start. Can't they just make it easy for this old guy. I wonder if they are going to make me take my tank bag off. I need a route sheet. Can you make me one Ray. Start on the starting line go 3/4 mile to turn 1 go left at top speed. Waite I think I'm lost allready. Ray I need your GPS. I got a set of Bridgestone R10's that I will put on at lunch time so they are in good shape for the race. They are suppose to be better than their slicks, will see. Wish me luck.

General Banter / I need a new riding suit
« on: March 17, 2010, 11:32:50 PM »
I posted this before but I wasn't able to read any of the posts, so here it is again.
I'm tinking of getting a full body riding suit, either leather or textile. If I get leather should I get full leather so I stay a little warmer when it's cooler out. Or get a combo leather textile to stay cool all the time. And if I do this should I get this a little larger so I can put some under clothes on under neath to stay warm on cooler days.
I now a lot of you have an Areostich. If I go with this what should I be looking for here. Why do so many of you like this suit so much?
I don't know for sure when I'm going to get this I mean it took me 42 years of riding before I bought riding boots for the street.
Thanks.
