  1. No neighbors close enough to hear it.
  2. Another hard day at work, playing along to some Lemmy. I'll keep my day job....
  3. Earache

    Neat..

    Exactly what I wanna do - steel building with an ample garage and a apartment to live in. Should work out pretty well for me after the divorce.
  4. Damn - this bitch has worse spelling and syntax comprehension than you do. Quite a feat!
  5. Bit breezy out today. Never mind the sub-zero temps, feet of snow - now we gotta add wind. Fuck my life.......
  6. Didn't have my helmet in my size - go figure. Had to order it with an expected arrival date of 2-3 weeks. So, for $811, I got to bring home this hat,,,,,
  7. Day after Thanksgiving here in the US and I'm headed to a Black Firday sale at the local bike shop - need a new lid.
  8. I mentioned to him about how many thousands of dollars "On Any Sunday" cost me over the years with new bike, new gear purchases. Malcolm: " Worked out differently for me" Me: "Fuck you, Malcolm" Malcolm: Big assed grin and nods his head.
  9. Gonna be a long one ..... My wife had a hotel in Indianapolis where the annual Dealer's Show was held (show wheere MC dealers across USA gather to view new products, etc). She needed a couple of display bikes for her hotel's lobby. I got a friend's TZ250 (mint, museum quality) and another friend's Augusta MV 750 (also mint condition) for her to display in the lobby. Wife calls and says that some guy wants to but the MV and was it for sale? I ask for his name and number and I'll call him back. Wife: He's an old guy, named Malcolm Smith, number is .... Me: Skinny little guy with big ears and a big smile? Wife: Yup, that's him. Know him? I just about shit my pants as I 'm calling a boyhood hero of mine to discuss the bike. He was nice on the phone and then wants to arrange a meeting to hear the bike run. I drive down to downtown Indy like my hair's on fire - don't care about selling the bike, just wana talk to Smith! Dude shows up, helmet in hand and wants to ride it around a bit. If it runs okay, he'll take it. He's wearing kakhi pants, slip on shoes and a polo shirt - it's kinda cold out, too. Rips all over downtown Indy - we can't see him but we can hear the bike echoing off of the building's canyon like walls. He comes back and buys it. We talk about bikes., movies, etc for about an hour. Then it dawns on him that he's gonna miss his flight home. I offer to take him to the airport and he accepts. I load the bike on the trailer and haul it and him to the airport. Talking bullshit the whole way there, He asked me to store the bike until his pro motocross team drives thorugh town with their racing semi truck and trailer next month. Met them at a truck stop and transferred the MV over to them. Got to see a cool trailer oof a pro mx team as well.
  10. Gave him a ride to the airport once after selling a bike to him. Super nice guy.
  11. The weather here is still shit; about 4C and rainy. But back home they're getting about 15" of snow. So I have that to look forward to upon my arrival home later this week.
  12. It is , indeed. Home of the Ohio State Penitentiary and also the Mid-Ohio Road Course for AMA Superbikes, Indy Cars, etc, But a shithole, nonetheless.
  13. In Zanesville, Ohio now and they also have English weather here today. Haven't seen Sun since I left Colorado last Tuesday.
  14. Well I didn't wanna sound so crass, but yes; shit. Cold, rainy and dark shit.
  15. Sitting in a hotel room in Morgantown, West Virginia overlooking the raging Monongahela River. Tagged along with the wife as she came here for work. Nice little town full of friendly people. Headed to Southeastern Ohio next. Weather here is very English-like ....
  16. High of -12C here today with snow. Locals will barely notice that it's cold and snowing. I'm just kidding you - I realize a little snow there is a big deal for the reasons you stated.
  17. Oh no - it's snowing there?!?! How ever will you cope. Shit is asshole deep on a 9 foot Indian here. I feel your pain.
  18. Nope - never have. Always been more of a speed metal kind of person.
  19. Sun is out in the 'hood here today as well. First time in 3-4 days...
  20. Usually around 10:00 PM or so. have never really slept too much since I was a little kid.
  21. Won't be able to sit down for a week.
  22. True. I'm thinking of moving east - to West Virginia or someplace like that. Fantastic riding, not crowded at all, etc.
