Suzuki girl. Too funny LOL (alcholic or something). I'm in a similar environment and ran into a bowtied board member in the parking lot, he thought I was mad max or something - gave me wicked strange looks.........Maybe that's why I didn't get the job

My brother and I have a tendency to lean into the turns when we drive our cars. Because he rides sport bikes, his leans tend to be deeper than mine. For the person riding shotgun, this may be quite entertaining, especially on right turns.

ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!! For the 42nd frickin' day in a row it is raining again!!!

I don't know what the heck we did to deserve this pleasure,, but I am tired of it,,,every year we have been in a drought. The one year I go out and buy a new bike it rains non-d*mn stop here.

It is really nice in the morning and by it's time for me to get off work it starts with all these thunder-boomers. It just dumps massive quantities of water on us every single afternoon. Our lakes are now over ten feet above normal pool levels.

So I want to ride in tomorrow,, but once again,, nice in the morning and crappy in the afternoon. I have rain gear,, but I do not want to ride in torrential downpours,, so I guess I will just wave at the lucky ones who get to ride in the morning and get back home before the crap starts.

If anyone needs any rain,, just go by a new bike.....

I only ride to work occasionally. For one, helmet hair on me looks like I just woke up and rolled outta bed...

J/K ... (really!)

I have something worse ... a step-mother who needs to be told before lunch that you are planning to go out to dinner. If you're lucky, she's ready to go by 8:00pm. (Thank goodness I only see her for a few days every couple of years...)

prekarious1 · 07-19-2005, 07:18 PM

I'm on vacation right now, guess that means I just have to spend the day riding around and enjoying it.

My mother is the same way. My step-father figured out a system years ago... say they're going to a movie that starts at 9:00. He tells her around noon that the movie starts at 8:00. That way they'll get there before the end of the trailer reels.

My sister, on the other hand, usually runs about a day behind. Seriously. If she says she'll be there around 1800, look for her around 1700 the next day.

zukirob · 07-19-2005, 11:50 PM

Aww darn it. Do I really have to?

**inspiron** · 07-20-2005, 03:40 AM

Ignoring the weather prediction of rain this evening, I rode the bike to work today ... it sure helps put me in the right mood for the first meeting

**drgibson** · 07-20-2005, 08:01 AM

Ahh the sunrise was glorious this am and the traffic wasn't to bad.

**inspiron** · 07-20-2005, 08:16 AM

Sunrise? Has the sun already gone up over Texas? It's only 2:15pm here ... I thought that I am 8 hours ahead of you ...

stp1971 · 07-20-2005, 08:28 AM

Yeah,,well,,, I caved,,,I drove the cage today,, the impeding doom of water just made me decide that I didn't want to spend countless hours cleaning the bike tonight. But the weather forecast say Sunday is going to start to be better weather,, so maybe next week will be ride to work day everyday. Just a note,, didn't see any bikes hardly this morning,, are we sure this was the right day???? Plus between the speed of 30 to 40 mph on a deceleration the front starts to wobble,, thinking a bad tire or out of balance tire,, taking it Saturday morning to the shop to get it checked out.

Yep,,, I am legitimizing why I didn't ride today,,trying to make myself feel better about not participating today.....sad,,but true.

Fishpart · 07-20-2005, 08:42 AM

Did you ride to work today? I do everyday weather permitting.

**Trapper** · 07-20-2005, 10:28 AM

That's a cool hobby, washing your bike. I prefer to ride mine. I've washed it 3 times since Easter. Man it's dirty, but it rides just as nice. Just hackin'

Just get a wider rear tire. You'll be fine at stop signs and red lights.

**inspiron** · 07-20-2005, 03:25 PM

And just how do you take a curve with that bike without running wide?
