Sigh, ask her if she remembers me BD.

2 stroke vs. 4 stroke, honda vs. yamaha... Basically the whole argument about what brand/engine is better is the ATV enthusiast's version of yo' Mama jokes. Can't think of something clever to say? Bash his Honda. Not too quick on returning a verbal jab? Bash his 2 stroke. Next time your out with your buddy and you think of something negative to say about his ride that you think is so clever, just don't. Cuz' guess what? All the brand bashing has already been done. The 2 vs. 4 stroke argument has been beaten into the ground. There's nothing you can say about the other side that hasn't already been said around thousands of campfires. And if people give you shit about your ride, just take it. Who cares how others feel about your machine.

Lets see imovie and then on over to idvd to burn it onto dvd...oh wait, that's only on the mac. Dunno what your budget is like, but you can get a decent mini dv like that canon ZR40/45/50 etc. for about $400 or so. Then you could probably sell your dazzle for at least some decent money. I think those dazzle things are like $160 or something. Best part about those canons is that they have a video in/out. That way you can buy one of those little lipstick cams and use that as a helmet cam rather than a huge camera bolted to your head. You can just keep the canon in your backpack and have the wires running up to the helmet.

Ah yes the leapard sharks of la jolla...forgot about those. I dive every once in awhile. So far the best one I've been on was a wreck dive in Jamaica, followed closely by a Jamaican night dive. We had a group of 7 LARGE stingrays follow us on our entire dive that night. The biggest one had a wingspan of about 5 feet. Apparently my local beach has a ton of thresher sharks chilling by the jetty - anybody wanna dive that with me? Remember: Sharks, da onely bite you when you toucha da private parts.

I'm thinking Wednesday/Thursday but it depends on what happens with work at this point.

I hate weekends. Everybody has the weekend off so pretty much anywhere you go is a zoo. Holiday weekends are the worst. There's certain places that are good to have crowds. Copper Canyon in Havasu, New Orleans during Mardi Gras, etc... If I'm going out to ride, I go to ride, not to socialize with 6,000 other yahoos. Plus, Pismo doesn't handle crowds well at all.

Somebody needs to give this guy some coke.

Lose some weight. Shaving a few pounds off the shee will cost you big bucks, but you can lose tons more weight and actually save money at the same time. I recommend eating right and regular exercise (no more McDonalds). Seriously, has anybody ever calculated how much power gain you get per 1 lb of weight lost?

Hey I'm 6' 200 lbs too and I've found that with my FMF's, low end is only a concern if you let off the gas.

Anyone up for it? I need a sand fix.

Brooke, I'll argue politics with you anytime! No worries, I'll bring the baby oil! By the way, are you Pro-Bush?

Real Life vs. Internet That view on politics is especially true on this board.

What do you think pepper spray is? Back when I used to read meters, a bunch of us went out for mexican food and beers. At some point, somebody offered me $5 to put dog spray on a taco and eat it. The pool went around and got up to $20 before I went for it. The first bite was pure and total agony, the rest of the taco made me wish I was dead. I spent the next 20 minutes letting my face drain into the gutter (pepper spray opens up the sluices on your nose, mouth, and eyes). No way in hell was that torture worth $20. Amazing since I've seen dogs lick that stuff off their faces like its ketchup.

Really it depends on what route you want to take. You could clean up your current laptop and have it work pretty good for awhile, or you could just get something new. If you do go the new route, my vote is for the mac. I made the switch a couple years ago and I'll never go back. Everything on the mac just works, the first time and everytime. The software issue is something to consider. You can get a program for the mac called Virtual PC which will allow you to run windows programs but they won't work as well as they do on a PC. Plus, by doing this you've now opened yourself up to all the spyware and viruses that windows has to offer. Networking between PC's and Mac's is a piece of cake. Basically on the PC end, you have to do all the normal steps for networking. On the Mac end, just plug both comps into the router and turn the mac on. You're networked. No setups, no disks, just plug n' go. That's pretty much how everything works on a mac. Buy a new digital camera and you can just trash the driver disk - all you need to do for it to work with a mac is plug it in.

Funny that the person that sleeps with members of the same sex is less gay than the person that says its evil. Dirtrider, I can appreciate your attempts at trying to change the world (or a few online personalities anyway) but you're not very bright. People aren't liable to follow you when you have trouble forming a complete sentence, let alone a coherent thought. There really is no substitute for an education. People will respect you more and may actually listen to what you have to say. I'm willing to bet that probably only 1 in 5 people read that religious post you made. Partially due to content, but mostly due to the fact that reading your posts is alot of work. Maybe Brooke could work with you and design some kind of 'decoder ring' program that changes every post you make into something intelligent. While she's at it, some cold fusion might be nice.

We can only hope.

Yup, some of my best friends are gay. Its cool as long as your comfortable with your sexuality. I went to a gay bar once and had the most fun of my life. Didn't pay for a single drink and left there with digits of more than a few hotty women. BOT: I'm afraid of crabs, and not the jungle jim public hair variety.

I used cable ties to attach mine to my frame near my radiator. Can't see it but you can reach in the plastic and flip it on or off.

Hey DirtCherry, I think bluetraxx could really use some of your sagelike advice. Your poor spelling and grammar would probably go unnoticed over there as well. Since everybody at the HQ is fuct, there's not much point in you sticking around. Enjoy BT, and really there's no need in you stopping by here to let us know how you're doing. Oh and as a side note, I've found that people who feel it neccesary to defend themselves or talk about their accomplishments in a fight are usually pretty wimpy. Its the guys that ignore confrontation that you have to worry about. If you think your tough shit, then your just gonna have your ass handed to you by somebody that knows that they're the shit.

Dude...when I was in high school some students got into an accident going 25 mph. The passenger was fine but the driver was killed. Guess who was strapped in? The car didn't look like shit, the bumper was dented up and there was a small buckle to the hood. I dunno bout you, but I wouldn't want to slam my head into a plate of glass while i was flying forward at 25mph.

I remember when my wife got hers pulled (I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a retarded shaped head). Her first real meal she was chewing and something popped and filled her mouth with some "nasty tasting fluid". I dunno bout the taste, but it smelled like a dead camel in her mouth for at least a week.

Unfortunately, non-seatbelt wearers do affect other people. Say you get into a minor accident that would have just affected you and another guy having to exchange information, but since you didn't have a seatbelt on, your head smashed into the windshield. Now my happy ass is driving down the road and I see some guy white as a ghost trying to flag down some help. So I pull over and run to your car and now I gotta spend the next 15 minutes trying to keep you alive until the stupid ambulance shows up. When I jumped into my car that day, I didn't plan on having somebody's brains smeared on my shirt. Now my plans are messed up along with my shirt. Fucker. Ok so then the ambulance takes you to the ER. Now thousands of dollars are going into keeping your dumb ass alive. Hopefully you have insurance to cover your stupidity. If you do, then after about 5 days in the ICU your insurance is gonna run out, so that means the government is gonna pick up the tab using my tax dollars. So not only do I have brains on my shirt, my plans are ruined, but now I gotta pay higher taxes and higher insurance rates because the insurance companies wanna make their money and dumbasses like you are in a coma in the ICU instead of riding in a tow truck bitching about how "your life sucks" cuz you have to get your car repaired. And while your dumbass is on that slab in the ER and they're pumping my blood that I donated for free into you and they're charging you or your insurance $500/pint for, meanwhile there's this big ass mess on the interstate that the cops gotta clean up. If your dumb butt is dead then we're talking about a ton of paperwork. So now some poor cop has to write up all this shit about how the accident happenned, taking measurements and doing interviews, and all the while, the damn lane of the freeway is closed cuz they can't tow the cars out until they've finished the investigation. So now some tow truck driver is sitting there on his bumper with his thumb up his ass, waiting for a cop to finish his report, and about 8,000 people are sitting in their cars in a huge ass traffic jam. The worst part is, I'm one of those damn 8,000 people waiting in line to drive by what should have been a minor inconvenience for 2 people. Because after I kept you alive and got brains on my shirt, I had to strip down to my underwear on the side of the freeway, put my clothes in a body bag (compliments of the highway patrol), go back home, take a shower under the hose, retrieved my brain covered clothes from my trunk, throw them away, go take a real shower, get dressed and then get back in my car for the trip to wherever I was going originally. So your day is screwed, so is mine, the cop has to tell his wife about the terrible thing he saw, the tow truck driver is vomiting still from seeing your brains all over the car he towed today, 8,000 people are late to wherever they were going, there's probably a bunch of other accidents from the sudden traffic jam that popped up, and the other driver is gonna have to deal with your retarded family trying to sue him for your own stupidity. If you survive then you're probably a vegetable, so that means all kinds of government programs for the handicapped. Oh good, I get to pay taxes for that too! Next time I see something like that, instead of trying to save their dumb ass, I'm gonna strangle them with the seatbelt that they couldn't bother to wear. Then my ass can go to jail and the taxpayers will be paying for my care!

Stickers go on parts boxes. Less is more when it comes to cars/bikes/toys.

The sand stars are VERY close in weight to the skate II's. I was having the same dilema as you and I went with the Sand Stars...couldn't be happier. Jonny - try dropping a tooth on your front sprocket before you buy some other tires.

Alba makes one too in black n' silver (maybe white in there too).
