Lately , people keep telling me to be safe or take care, my response, that is why I'm on the Bike!
Things I no longer do when I ride
- Thread starter BamaRider
- Start date
I have one of those each time I get off the love seat. Back? Check. Knees? Check. Ankles? Check.
Or, I gotta pee. Must be about 2:30 am. Check. I gotta pee...again. Must be 4:30 am. Check.

Wheelies…
I noticed over the last three years that riding a motorcycle on the street has made me not want to speed or drive aggressively in my car.
And not even so much on the motorcycle either-- but sometimes I will twist that throttle and zip ahead of a bunch of slow people on the highway and when I find myself away from all the other traffic I'll slow down significantly .
But in my car, I don't even try to avoid those situations anymore--- I just chill out and go with the flow. ( I figure I've always got the bike if I want to accelerate from 60 to 90 in just a few seconds.)

[my stepson's dog] it was funny when my stepson used to come over and call our dog that he ended up giving to us; he'd obey for a second then when I called him, he'd come back to me, no indecision but he'd look back a little "perplexed" but Bolt was with us variously anyway before he was seven and we wound up with him full time
I think that POd hiim a little more than he let on, serves him right giving up a GS, dumb ____
[edit] I still feel like I'm twenty the instant I get off any bike; reason I don't give a ____ about anything other than defensive driving being alert and fit for the task, I don't venture too far out anyway and don't care about any bike or car enough to risk not making it back; we got cell phones and ubers on top of tow trucks and cabs now I'll leave it on the side of the road in the rain, get it towed, stolen who cares; another one, long as no one [even myself now] gets hurt
It's a once a rounder
