Dude pulls up to me today on a road rashed R1 wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes... no helmet. " I bet my bike is faster than yours. " I tell him, there is no skill in twisting the gas, meet me at the track and throw a knee down. He proceeds to rocket away down a residential street probably touching up near 100.
I say down with squids! One reason I really like all you guys is that we are relatively safe riders. Keep it that way. That is all.

Relatively... ???... yes, well, [cough] at least the local police don't have an APB out for
our bikes. Why, it's been at least a few days since any of us even got [choke, hack!] ...uh,
detained by LE. [cheeky]
the motorcycle cops are the most strict. You should see them weave in and out of traffic with those hardley's and 90+.
Are you sure that wasn't Fastwin posing next to you?
Dammit! Busted again by Dax. Damn you!!! >:(
I don't get pulled over much (due to that "relatively safe" in town riding style ;D) but the times I have you can visibly see the officer's blood pressure drop when they see the old bald f#@ker pull off his helmet and they realize that I am older than their Dad AND I actually pulled over and didn't run! [laugh] Works like a charm! They probably think I am borrowing my son's SBK!! [laugh]
Squids suck. The family in the sedan that just got strafed by a pack of goofballs on the rear wheel at 100+ are the same family that pulls up to me at the next intersection thinking I'm part of that clan. I'm geared up and they can't tell I'm AARP eligible and don't do that shit. But you know they are thinking that for days. Any rider they see on a non-Harley cruiser has been branded an asshole. [bang]
The R1 is one of Darwin's tools of trade. ;)
Yeah, but it works both ways; if you're not setting a new land speed record everytime you get on your Duc, you're a "poser" [laugh]

Note the clever shifter pad attached to the big toe. This allows the rider to easily find the toe after scraping it off....

Samsonite had an R6 that screamed!!!!
I tried to keep up on the HM11000s. Just sayin.....
I wonder if they cremated or buried the bike with that guy.
Wonder how well that "toe bumper" works in a get off. WTF is "TPR"??
AARP?? Non disclosure is the key. But, I do get a discount at Luby's if I eat dinner before 5:30. Just saying... [thumbsup]
Is it bad that I sometimes feel like the dead guy on the Repsol?? [laugh]

Total Protonic Reversal, if I remember my Ghostbusters dialog correctly.

No matter how bad you feel, it would be worse to look like the guy on the Repsol.
How thoughtful of them to put an area of heat resistant material to protect your feet from the heat of the exhaust...on both the inward and the outward side.. ???
[clap]
I love twins, but not being grouped in the squid section is why I bought a duc.. Seriously. I hate being grouped in pack. Not gonna happen.
Besides, Ill out weave them thru traffic any day of the week [laugh] ;D KIDDING!!! [cheeky]
I found him but this time with a helmet. :o the guy was much bigger than he looks too
