sorry to hear that some boneheads feel the need to trash someone else's work, but glad to read that others had your back.

It had nothing to do with Ducati, John.  I'd actually forgotten all about that!     Hey, it was cool getting as far as I did with them.  No worries there.     What I was referring to was about another member deciding that my writing was trash publicly.  He and went off after one or two people called him on it.  It was kinda weird actually.  Left a bad taste in my mouth.  It's not like I needed therapy after, but it wasn't conducive to me rushing to type out anything else anytime soon either.

think of posting on BARF as your civic duty to help raise the I.Q. level over there ... besides, some of the photos of you in valencia would fit right in with BARF behavior (as does mine) 

C'mon John, BARF is like the black hole of intelligent thought - it may go in, but nothing ever emerges.

Best of luck to you 'belle with the cleanup - and I thought NMC was a tough job!

no argument from me that BARF does have some darwin award candidates ... but there are also some really cool folks there too (like 'belle, for instance)

and to use a BARF smiley icon for my post:

I can't believe y'all are having a "BARF is so great" discussion.     BARF is just like dumpster-diving--> you can find an occasional gem if you are willing to wade through all the trash, rot and human feces.

You forgot "dead hobos"

<BARF>

I'm working on bein' less wordy.  Super long stuff doesn't work well on the intrawebz.  And I suck at endings.   

Well that just means you have more to say... and we have more to read. 

Thanks for that.  Right now, all of my riding is commute.  I keep dreaming of a ride just for fun and then I wonder when I will have the time.  I'm digging around my schedule trying to find it now. 

I've noticed that time has a way of not being found.  Ya gotta make time to ride.  There was one summer where my house was a sty, the yard was a mess, and the dishes and laundry were always behind...but I rode thousands of miles.  Sometimes I'd ride for hours both days of the weekend.  I don't think that I'll be doing that again soon--balance is good--but I sure did have me some fun and I improved a lot that year.  I think I started going to the track that Fall.    (Trackdays are a great way to force yourself to get out there.  I try to do a few weekend rides in the twisties before I do a day at the track.)

1) Call in sick.

2) Don't tell your wife.

3) Ride!

Somehow I don't think your wife will mind.

You never know.


She went to philly this week and took the key to my Brutale.


Some nonsense about not hurting myself.



I think she hates me.

She would want to come with me and then get grumpy when she can't get out of work.

That's what step 2 is for.

I think she hates loves me.

Ew, even I'm sickened by that amount of mushiness.


Get a room.
