You know, at first I thought it was crazy, but I did walk across the Brooklyn bridge a couple weeks ago. If there was something interesting on either end...

I assume you mean the BMW LT, that one is a bit of the pig. :) I hear the new K1600GTL's are nice (1600cc inline 6), but I haven't ridden one. Too expensive! I'm with you on the sport bikes, as much as I'd like to have one, there's no way I'm riding 200-300 miles regularly which is my preferred way to ride. My Beemer is mildly sporty (R1150R) but comfy enough at the same time to do 600 mile days (so far). I'm working on a cafe project, I'll have to see how far I can ride that. :) We should probably resurrect the motorcycle thread for this though. :)

Come on, this isn't the first one? Besides being unique, it's a good fight too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofev3nwJjFs And a new one in honor of the most recent sign:

Nice! I've only ridden one big cruiser, a Rocket III, and a Suzuki 800 that I was ferrying home for a friend (he just bought it, he never rode on the street before that). Both were fun, but the floor boards found the ground way too easily on both. :)

Oooh, what did you get?

It's probably be easier to put in a new highway from Smith St (give or take) and connect down past Tift. Looking at the satellite map, there doesn't seem to be a ton of stuff in the way.

Fixed that for you. You lot were pretty mean bastards a couple 100 years ago. :)

LOL, nice. I'm seriously tempted to paint my 2nd bike blue with the stripe from the current dark jersey down the middle.

I can see Vanek+pick, Vanek+mid-level prospect, but that's just swapping players without really improving the Sabres. Bobby Ryan isn't *that* much better than Vanek. It'd be interested hearing someone outside's (non-Buffalo fan) take.

Of course. I'm really trying to figure out how they're going to make 3 movies out of a few hundred pages.

B0ll0cks, but good on ya (AUS) for the try! :)

Flyer orange, huh? :sick:

Wow.

Sigh, I won't even bother to ask if you have some proof of bribery.

I agree. I suppose motorcycle racing is a gray area. I probably don't call it a sport, but you can't be overweight and climb around on a bike like that. There was that scene in Meaning of Life (?) where they're teaching kids about sex and they look supremely bored. That's not what you're thinking about, right?

Agreed. I'd go so far that anything that is subjective or requires points. Distances and times, that's it. Of course, wrestling was in the classic games, so maybe I'm wrong. :)

As a girlfriend used to say to me, "Those are just made-up names."

Will they be able to turn right?

Flat tire on the bike this morning (luckily found in the garage, not on the road). Now i need to change the tire if I'm going to make my camping trip this weekend. At least I have the replacement tire already, but not the time to do the swap.

While kinda amusing, it's a pretty bad show. I seem to remember people getting mildly up in arms when Tyler Ennis had the wrong logo (Panthers, maybe?) on the jumbotron in Raleigh during all-star weekend. My bet is it was an honest mistake though, not a political statement.

I think the US Soccer orgs are one of very few that have the cash to seriously field a women's team. The rest are either state-sponsered or those heartwarming stories about how they work 9-5 jobs and practice on the weekends and nights.

Those sports are on your extended cable from time to time if you look around for them. I prefer the even odder stuff, like Men's field hockey.

Ying and yang, I bought an engagement ring over the weekend. :)

I have a wadded up dollar bill that I found in a pair of jeans after washing that says he doesn't! :) (virtual shake on that)

And not even for Rock and Roll. I'm not sure I believe that. Maybe one of my closest 20-30 friends gives a rat's ass about Minor-league football. He's a Penn State guy, oddly enough, but I have't asked him about it yet. Everyone else doesn't seem to care.
