Dumbfuck, did I say to let the clutch out in first? No. I don't imagine he's doing 70mph in a quad, either.

That was completely tongue in cheek dude... lighten the fuck up.

fine, get your cruiser and be lazy, but don't come running to me when you have to make a trip around the world and you realize that you're too lazy and have an incapable bike.

Don't the oceans get in the way of that?

not if you're on a BMW R1150GS.

I think the right answer is Thruxton. I want one so badly.

I kinda wish I still had my GS. I love those engines.

This is what my head did to the concrete ->

1. Wear a helmet
2. Where do you live that you can ride a quad to the bar?

It's licensed in Montana, and we're in Wyoming. It has a motorcycle plate, so I'm assuming you could drive it in all 50 states.

I really need some painkillers, but I don't want to go to the ER, and there's no clinic around here open on Sundays.

You're probably OK in Wyoming since ATVs can be registered for road use there, but not every state allows them so it wouldn't be 50 state legal.

S204STi · October 05, 2008, 10:58:19 AM

Yep, don't haul it down here to Colorado and expect to ride it on the streets.

I've never seen an ATV with a license plate riding down the street with normal traffic. Must be a western thing.

if its legally a road vehicle in Wyoming, then California is required to respect that legality. Whether or not your local Chipper agrees or gives a damn is another case entirely.

My center of gravity shifted when we took off from a stop sign.

Oh, ouch!

Did your roommate realize he was dragging you behind him?

Tave · October 05, 2008, 07:00:23 PM

Yeah. He picked me up off the road, put me back on the quad, grabbed my arm, and got me back to the house.

Cookie Monster · October 05, 2008, 07:03:03 PM

That's quite unfortunate.

Champ · October 06, 2008, 08:42:12 AM

I also don't count gears when I ride.

It isn't the same as knowing what gear you are in while driving a car...because the shifter has specific places to be for each gear. You would likely lose track in a car if it was sequential as well.

Tave · October 06, 2008, 08:46:31 AM

Well, my head still hurts like a bitch, and I don't think I've done the best job cleaning the wound. I think it's time to go to student health after I get my morning classes out of the way. Maybe the next time I p0st it will be with a shaved head!

I guess I got used to it, since my first two cars were sequential automatics. They had gear indicators, too though.
