I don't care about cars anymore. Heck I don't care about ANYTHING else anymore. This is what I spent my Monday doing. I've NEVER had this much fun doing ANYTHING.

I like horseshoes...

Stupid photographer kept taking pics of me entering or exiting the horseshoe. None with me in the middle cranked over... :( Oh yeah, and the one of me totally blowing it (you can actually see me pulling the brake lever - big nono). :o

Ok This ones been coming for some time now... *venting alert*

Here my $0.02...
I think bikes are way too dangerous! Almost 90% of the time im driving down I85 and a guy is on a bike he is either A) speeding like an idiot in the middle of traffic or B) doing stupid tricks trying to show off. It has crossed my mind a few times what would happen if I ram my car in the back of his bike while hes doing a wheelie.. Death Traps I tell you! Death Traps!:mad: They should make laws or something so it'll be harder for people too own those things!I know a freakin 16 yr old kid who had one before he could even drive. I have yet to meet one person who is mature enough to ride a bike down the highway without giving in to the temptation to speed like a bat outta hell!

Yup. Which is why I don't hang out with those accidents waiting to happen. I hang out with amateur/pro racers. And I do my playing on the track.

On the street, I do speed on occasion, but ONLY to get clear of some idiot in a car that's trying to kill me. Most people think that I'm being an asshole, but I'm just trying to get clear of traffic. I don't ride my bike when I'm ****ed off, sad or had ANYthing to drink. I don't ride to show off. Then again, that is the exception rather than the rule among most motorcyclists.

Final note: once you've been on a track, it TOTALLY ruins street riding for you. It's totally boring.

well yea.. bike could be dangerous
i've been there..
i used to own a kawasaki ninja back when i was in highschool
its not that fast.. but i've been into a couple of minor accidents such as falling down at 70mph while taking a turn on a major highway..
thank god the helmet saved me..
but its fun..

ruf: maybe i should visit you and your shop sometimes..
houston is only an hour away from here :)

My shop is my living room and a warehouse now! :p I shut down my physical location cuz the rent was getting to me. It's just easier to drop ship and keep little knick-knacks in my house (like Bride seats and LSDs...)
