Well this sucks

[SeaCat]

I went to the Safe Riders Course instructors and found out the next course is this weekend. (I have to work.) The next possible course is possibly in Novenmber, but they have no idea on the dates. They want me to call on the 25th of October, well after my next schedule is supposed to be in.

It seems that I may have to be playing some politics to get this course.
Ahhhhh well, it gives me more time to find my bike,

Well I did some research today. I checked with several other Bike Shops asking them about rider training.

Well it turns out there are not one but two schools running rider training here in the county. When I checked with the second one today it turns out they are running classes when I want them. The best part is they are trained and overseen by the same organisation as the first one. (Their prices are roughly the same as well.)

I have already signed up for the classes and reserved my spot. Now I have to go out and buy me a helmet. (The only thing I need for the class but don't have yet.)

Oh!

On sex site, bikes weren't the first thing I though of with the title "Safe Riders Course."

Let's just say the brief exclamation "They have classes for THAT!" went through my mind.

Make sure you buy a good one Cat, DOT and SNELL certified.

What elsol said!

 

[THROBBS]

That is the EASY part... MOST of them are certified.
The KEY part is to match it to your BIKE.
You and what you wear are part of the entire presentation.
Even if you have to buy a new one when you get you bike.

In the paper today.

Last year 4100 scooter trash died on the road. Another 88000 were hurt. And, not surprising at all, 27% of you are legally sloshed when you ride.

when "you" ride?

 

[THROBBS]

When you drink and drive ANYTHING you become a bigger hazard.

http://www.madd.org/stats/11920
42,642 (2006 Total Traffic Deaths)


17,602 (2006 Alcohol Related )Deaths


41% (Percent Alcohol-Related)

I think Alcohol is a bigger issue than Motorcycles.

and... HELLO!?

Seacat, works in the medical profession, and dives responsibly, and has been a paramedic (or sumthin)... you think that HE is one of the "yous"?? If Seacat is squashed like a grape while riding his bike... it's gonna be due to something outa his control. No "scooter trash" there.


I wonder how many of you are sloshed when you post?

 

[SeaCat]

Where shall I start?

Helmets?

Yep planning on gettiong a DOT certified Helmet. I just have to decide what kind? Full Face or 3/4 with a bubble face.

As for the color, well I would actually prefer to have a white one. A bit cooler in the heat down here.

I'm not fashion consciouse when it comes to safety. My jacket will be an ancient horsehide I picked up in Germany back in the early 80's.

My idea is to enjoy the riding down here safely.

Interesting statistics there James. Unfortunately I will not be riding a Scooter but a Street Bike. Therefore I don't think I'll be able to be classified as Scooter Trash.

Now as for being sloshed, well I have this funny little rule. If you're driving don't be drinking anything stronger than water. If I see you I will turn you in. I have no mercy on O.U.I. (My suggestions to the State of Massachussetss were deemed too draconian.) The only worries I'll have are the people driving cars while "sloshed".

Anyways thanks again for the statistics and the backing. It made my wife, who has seen me call a cab after a total of two drinks laugh.

You can go here and find reviews on just about anything bike related.

The SNELL cert is alot more stringent than DOTs so try to get one that is SNELL certified. There is also a UK cert that alot of helmets in the US have that is even tougher then SNELL. I cant remember what its called altho I have seen it listed on the site I posted. I would suggest a full face helmet...more protection in a (god forbid) crash.

It does. I never cease to be amazed at how they scarf it up. When I was young and cute and sweet and had a pocket full of cash I couldnt get a woman. "Youre too nice," was their mantra. Eddie...I invented eating pussy, and it didnt help me. I had more hair than John Kerry.

When I finally changed my attitude to..."Fuck um" things changed. It was like someone flipped a light switch. They mail me cellphones and prepaid long distance cards and send me money. Plus the nekkid pictures.

It's a cross the bear.

At least TK leaves me alone. I heard a rumor she's Shrek's mother.

???????

Oh that?

Bwahahahahahahahahaha

I know the lingo my friend, believe me I know the lingo. I just don't see the need. I don't need a pin to ride, nor do I need to show my colors. I don't have to talk about the cits in their cages and I don't have to bitch about wearing a Brain Bucket. And the last 5time I saw someone call a guys ride a Scooter I watched them get trashed.

Damn, JamesB, now I don't know WHAT to do. Damn, I never knew that women were turned off by good looks and wealth. Fuck. Learn something every day.

I can change my attitude, but I can't see getting rid of my good looks or my money. I look too good and worked to hard. How much success does just being an asshole bring?

Eddie the Inexperienced

PS- I don't think you have to worry about TK bothering you anymore.

Oooh, Eddie.

Can I sit on your lap?




Oh, and Cat?

Keep on doing what you do. As always, I find your caring and concern and your sense of responsibility an amazing thing.

EDDIE

Its strange. I look at the pics from my youth and dont get why women were not interested. Now, I'm old and cantankerous and they cant get enough of me.

I was showing my girlfriend the baby pics, and her comment was:" Yes, his dick was a mile long and he could fuck all night and he was cute, but he aint you." No shit.

 

[tickledkitty]

PS- I don't think you have to worry about TK bothering you anymore.

No, he doesn't because I only have eyes for you, Eddie.

 

[Edward Teach]

Oooh, Eddie.

Oh hell yes!

And just think, I'm only beginning to learn about being an asshole. When JB teaches me a little more, we can really have some fun.
