No prob, I just figured it was that time of month.

Jonathan · 11-26-2003, 10:21 PM

Cool. I figured out what was bothering me and it seemed that I took it out on the post. LOL. So, you can sorta say it was that time of the month for me. It was a very important date for me and I ran into a problem.

**Uncle Bob** · 11-26-2003, 11:32 PM

Hey, where's Keith ?

( hope that's not the problem you're having )

Jonathan · 12-01-2003, 11:41 AM

Keith is fine. He has been doing some other things and its been takin his time.

No problem with Keith, except he hijacked my bike!!

PM if you are interesting in knowing whats up.

Keith · 12-01-2003, 11:45 AM

just hella busy, Bob. that and my roommate hijacked my laptop so i didn't think to hop over here.

Jonathan · 12-01-2003, 11:51 AM

Its not me that stole the laptop from him. Its one of the other roomies we live with.

**Louis** · 12-01-2003, 08:19 PM

You guy's live in a commune ?

Jonathan · 12-02-2003, 04:28 PM

Keith and I share a house with our friend Jeremy. Its a nice house. We have named the house the "pre-bachelor pad". We have plans on building a much larger house and calling that one the true Bachelor Pad. We hope to have the construction started by mid January to the beginning of February.

We will be having one helluva party, so you guys will have to figure out how to get down and party along with us!

If you cant, you can watch and participate via the web. This house is going to have lots of high tech toys in it and loads of other things. Cant wait.

If there is only one other roomate the above sentence is misleading no

Sounds like you guys are going to be bachelors for a long time.

Keith · 12-03-2003, 10:48 AM

depends on how you look at it Bobby. 1 roomie (Jeremy) is there as frequently as Jon and I. another (Jason) is in a church school thingy that requires him to stay at a near campus apartment but he still comes home and hijacks my laptop.

Jason R · 12-29-2003, 08:50 PM

My GSXR 600 doesn't have a kickstand sometimes I forget

Jonathan · 01-05-2004, 11:11 AM

I would try and get one for your bike. Why dont you have one?

**Uncle Bob** · 01-05-2004, 11:34 PM

Saving weight ?

01-06-2004, 02:31 AM

How many grams do you save with the average paint chip?

Jonathan · 01-09-2004, 02:05 AM

I wouldnt know that answer. Please share.

**Louis** · 01-09-2004, 07:40 AM

Depends on the paint, the size and depth of the chip. Too many variables here, give me more data.

01-09-2004, 05:57 PM

(Do I hafta spell it out?)

I assumed that Jason removed his kick stand to save weight. An unfortunate by-product of which might be paint chips.

Salutory lesson on why sidestand cutouts are a good idea.
Friend of mine was in a pub one evening and got lucky. The pub didn't have a condom machine (this was 20 years ago) so he made an excuse and jumped on his GS750 and rushed to another pub to make his eager purchase. Got back on the bike and turned right. At the first left-hander he discovered he'd left his sidestand down and got intimate with a telegraph pole. Weeks of pain instead of a night of pleasure.
Three cheers for the advances in technology.
