Where is everyone #5

You're living during the age of the pantywaist sidewalk sissy. Participation trophies are the rule of the day.

 

They all build some nice ones anymore. But that 04 I think I bought it in 06 with 1800 miles was a fine bike. Rode night and day into the mid 30's. 40 miles each way on night shift back then. But aftermarket support had alot to wish for. I really wanted that Furry in 08ish. But quality on the Harley to me is much better than the metric bikes. I know not everyone thinks that. I have had both and work on mine. Downside, my oil cooled Harley will melt your right leg at a stop light in the summer. Shorts are a no go, and leather boots are a must. Still hot as heck. But it not stock.

 

I wouldnt look down on a 1200 sporty. They are very capable of being very fast light weight bike. I understand that they get know for being cheaper, but that's not what they were designed for. They can be quit the fast little sheet.

If your worried about learning, get a mid 80-90's 500-750cc metric bike cheap. Plenty power to get killed. Cheap enough to trash and not care.

 

they don't let kids be kids anymore. Helicopter parent's and agenda pushing education system. Loosing at a sport, even if you only win 5 football games in 10 yrs like me. Showing up and knowing you're getting your ##### handed to you along with your buds, that builds character. Score would usually be us 7-14 points and the other team would have 40+ on board by halftime. Losing teaches valuable lessons.

Here's one for a laugh. Bout 12-13 years ago few buds and me go out on opening trout day. None of us hooked one or even got a bite and this fanny pack, loafer wearing neck beard comes and gives us trophies. What? Hour later it was .22 target practice time.

Got a Honda 70 ATV for 4th bday and this kids mom wouldn't let him come over anymore. Also gave my dad a crappy .25 cal Jennings that jammed every 3rd shot. Didn't want it in the house.

God forbode i ever have kids, baptism by guns and quads/bikes just like my brother and i were

 

Dunno who posted this on here a while ago...but it's on my playlist.

 

Screw whatever Ford designer decided that A) the v6 and v8 would share the same 6r80 trans but have different bell housings and oh yeah let's not make the bell housing removable. Oh and one more thing let's make the bolts different lengths.

In other news got the t case and trans split, trans and engine split. T case on new trans and almost got the new trans on the new engine if it wasn't for wrong size bolts. Found 2 in the bin of the right length to hold it together since I manged to get it lined up.

Going to try to find new bolts tomorrow and then get engine, trans, t case, and drive shafts back in the truck. After that its small stuff I can do without help.

 

LoL, just reminded me of Benny "the Jet" Rodriguez..
Remember Sandlot..? "Anyone who wants to be a can't hack it, pantywaist, who wears their mamma's bra.! Raise your hand.."
Cant find the whole clip, close as I can get.. Edit: its all there, just have to arrow to the right for the 2nd half..

a "can't hack it" panty waist...


"Land of the free, home of the Brave.." where did it all go so wrong..

 

Road commode.. LoL

Seriously, were these that awful to earn them the nickname road commode..? they look pretty sweet compared to most new junk being pumped out today..

 

I've pretty much decided I'm getting snipped in the next year or 2. Its almost cruel to bring a kid into a such a messed up world.

My bud that crashed his ninja 600 at 18 years old is wanting to pick it back up. Minus half a left arm and half his left leg. Benches and squats more than most people with all their limbs.
