    Pictures of your Pets!

    I've got two pups, a Queensland Heeler, Roo, and a chestnut Shar-Pei, Gustav. They have very different personalities, but are both very cool dogs. I didn't intend to get a Shar-Pei, but he found me. He was abandoned, and when I found him he was around 2-3 weeks old and in very bad shape...

    ladies and bikes to brighten your day :)

    I think Dakine surpasses them. While most of these ladies are really beautiful, they lack the authenticity she has. She's got way, way more allure-

    Did a nice 300 mile round ride to the New River Gorge! Pics included!

    Wow! What a terrific area to ride - I'm envious. I've rafted both the New and Upper and Lower Gauley. That's beautiful country.

    [NSFW] This is a bar. Tell me a joke. [NSFW]

    Scarlett O'Hara leaves Tara and visits a relative in New York City. Never having been a big city, she's amazed by how different life up there is from the plantation that her father owns. After a month of being up north, she returns home with all kinds of stories. One afternoon, on the veranda...

    Helmets are worn for a reason

    I feel for the person's family, but also appreciated the irony of it. When I took the MSF course, my recollection is that 82% of all helmet impacts occur in the chin area. I cringe when I see people with those helmets that just cover the top of the head. The idea of not wearing a helmet is...

    Any poetry buffs out there...?

    Here's one I wrote for a lit class (ENG102). The assignment was to write a satirical essay, and we were given the option, if we so chose, to write it in Heroic Couplets. I was the only one to take on Couplets, and my inspiration for the satire was those over the top TV evangelists. Hope you all...

    Gun Talk Thread

    My EDC is a Kahr CW9 9mm with 147 Gr Gold Dot JHP. It's a great little pistol, a little snappy, but smooth trigger. Love the M&P's, but even the compact M&P is chunky compared to the CW9. Had a SA EMP that I never could get to feed reliably, but it was a work of art.

    Need advice on traffic ticket I received! Please read!

    That's good info. I used the same technique when I lived in Houston. It generally does work. In any event, I would fight it, too. If the registration was only could for 2 months, the amount paid should have been pro-rated. Good Luck!

    New to the forum

    I'd read somewhere that Yellow's are purported to be faster. Not sure how that could possibly be true. Anyway, the bike is plenty fast for me. Moving from the GS500F to this one is truly night and day. It really is pure magic.
