Pointing out that "pastime" is the word you were looking for is mine.

See? We're both having fun with our clothes on!

Rickster · 12-07-2008, 01:01 PM

This is the Internet, how do we know for sure your cloths are on?

Not just a Zombie thread, now it went right in the toilet, we sure could use some nice warm weather so we could go for a ride, of course I can't ride right now anyway, I had surgery on my left hand last Thursday for carpal tunnel, figured I might as well get it done now so I won't be laid up when the weather warms up.

Aw, you can't ride? I was just on my bike this morning. And yesterday, and the day before...

I wear a Shoei full face helmet all the time because the most important things about me are above my neck. My ex-husband's best friend got in a wreck bad enough to partially sever his tricep, but that was the worst of his injuries because his helmet had the big gash in it instead of his head. Personally, I've knocked myself out on a bicycle, while wearing a helmet, and it was no fun at all. I definitely don't want to smack my head on the asphalt or into the side of a car. I'll take every bit of protection I can get in that regard.

We are beginning to understand why it is that you have an "EX" husband.

tigre · 12-07-2008, 04:51 PM

Muahahaha!

No seriously, I actually hate living here. And you guys should come down in August sometime to experience the sauna that is Florida in the summer. I'd definitely be willing to give up riding for the winter in exchange for real seasons, elevation, fewer people, etc. The only good thing about Florida is that we have really great weather this time of year. Though I was a little chilly yesterday because I left the liner out of my mesh jacket.

I was gonna say something kinda mean because you are teasing us because you get to still ride, but since you offered free room and board Ill just have to take my bike to your place to play, now I just have to get your address

Fishpart · 12-07-2008, 10:49 PM

100% for me, To each their own, of course some states don't give you the option. I live in one that you can ride with or without! I just prefer with.

I just saw this thread in the new member pit stop area. I had no idea it had been inactive for three years.

Rickster · 12-08-2008, 10:38 AM

This particular thread has been down for awhile, but we get helmet "debates" frequently, and they often turn heated.

Lol, I think that "What's wrong with Harley's" thread finally died.

No fair you digging it up to prove me wrong Adam, it has to be someone else that's the rules, I just made them up. I can do that, it's carry over from when I was the "MOM"
