rallispec Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hahaha.. He was probably like who the F is this whacko next to me and didnt look over on purpose becuase he wanted to avoid eye contact at all costs. Did he speed up real quick or turn off the road to get away from you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 He was jamming to some music.....totally oblivious to me. His window was down....should have thrown something in to get his attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 HAHAHA thier is a guy at our office who used to ride a bike, but stopped after he got married... Anyways, he's always trying to talk me into carrying a pocket full of coins -- great for getting the attention of the car next to you, or really pissing off the jack ass who has been riding up your ass.

PGT Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 that's not a good idea, though I know dudes like to do it. No matter how funny it is, you are still riding on a 400lb machine with nothing but your gear to protect you. Bad enough having to deal with soccer moms in their SUVs, let alone a road-raged one. Mother hens don't think rationally when it comes to protecting their brood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Did you even notice the red BMW motorcycle next to you this morning?? The one with the LOUD pipe and Hella horns?? I honked and waved to you.....you didn't even look at me with Dubya Tee Effe mate?? :lol: didn't realize that was you....didn't even see you waving. Nice bike, think I was jammin to BPM on satellite. I was also late for a client and was staring at that red evo that was infront of us. I'm thinking about getting a bike again, especially with how the gas prices are. The kid factor plays in big on that though. Not sure if I'll follow through with it or not. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Dan - how is the Bimmer, I'm thinking of getting another bike It's a sweet ride, but a little disconcerting due to the high seat and long travel suspension. Still getting used to it. I did my first oil change on it last night (bought it a year ago but haven't ridden it much until I got my license this summer)....runs and shifts so much better. old pic: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/PatagonianGT/F650.jpg I went by the Bimmer shop up in MD yesterday....the said my bike was "the best bike BMW never built" It was built on contract by Aprilia as a clone to their Pegaso. They had some sweet bikes there yesterday....I'd LOVE a second one. Any of these will do: custom blacked-out Rockster: http://www.bobsbmw.com/motorcycles/images/bob_special/rockster-side-pro.jpg K1200R (HUGE pipe on it:) ): http://www.bobsbmw.com/motorcycles/images/2006/image002.jpg and my favorite - Rockster Edition 80: http://www.bobsbmw.com/motorcycles/images/used/J65592/right.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
