I'll be easy to spot. (curled up in the fetal position, on the floor, in a dark corner, alone)

lost cause

[QUOTE=m5james;130579]Cool

True

That's good cause I shake my head when I see people riding in weather like this. I've watched a friend spin his bike out right in front of me, had countless friends lay their bike down rolling onto the throttle when getting onto the onramp, etc...I'm not worried, I just don't like hearing about people crash when it could have been easily avoided by driving a car instead...so does that mean you're not coming and proving me right?

Neither do I as I'm only a fair weather rider, my bike is an 01 and only has 24k - no riding in the rain, sub 50* temps, etc...that's what a vehicle w/ heated seats and steering wheel is for.

That's an assumption, but ok.QUOTE]







you shake your head? really i ride year round everyday it doesnt snow or rain i ride. the only thing to shake ur head at is your dumb ass friends who wreck probably riding like a jack ass.

Yea, it sure does sound like a great meet and greet. I am almost sad that I won't make it. But since I have Titanium Street Cred, I ain't too worried about what others would think that I missed it.

ROFLMFAO!

Jermacide

Dont make Ming slap you!

whitedevil

The last time I seen Ming, he was standing on a railroad tie just to be eye level, his arms aren't that long! LOL You know I am kidding Ming, well sort of, sarcasm has some truth to it, but I still luv ya!

Risk is the element in this sport that is entirely subjective. Sure, some will gasp watching a fellow rider hoist a standup wheelie while riding down the freeway, or going for a mid December romp up a frozen, sandy road to a ski resort. Others will applaud. When risk element safely pays off and the rider wins the race, we say he is brave. When the risk results in injury or death, we call it stupidity. Everyone driving faster then you is a maniac, and everyone driving slower is an idiot. Thank goodness we have a public forum where we can all dish out our value judgements to the brave, the stupid, the maniacs, and the idiots while simultaniously reassuring ourselves that our own personal judgment is sound. The grandest irony is that well over 50% of the general public considers ANY motorcycle riding to be an unwise risk.

Jermacide

but he does have TSC

whitedevil

You just called it a Sport! LOL - AFLAC

katnip

It is a sport

sport
   /spɔrt, spoʊrt/ Show Spelled[spawrt, spohrt] Show IPA
–noun
1.
an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf,bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
2.
a particular form of this, esp. in the out of doors.
3.
diversion; recreation; pleasant pastime.

It states often of a competitive nature which means that it doesnt have to be competitive to be a sport.

whitedevil

riding your bike on the street, to the store, even carving the canyon, is not a sport. you are simply doing something that you enjoy, that would be more of a hobby. If that was the case then why is it not a sport doing it in the cage?

Jermacide

fuq man i'm a dedicated F150 Sport Racer! I do it Daily for the pur enjoyment of going to work and collecting a paycheck while competing agains all the other sportsters on their daily commute

stubby

That would be a sport especially at your age

whitedevil

Just cause you can't remember the last time you did it, let alone doing it in your cage, is no excuse to remind me what I did last week. Play Nice....

stubby

I never did it in my cage, but I do recall borrowing my sisters car to meet up with the gf back in the day.... interesting night, not sure what was more comfy the back of the car or the rock at the train depot.

And if your trailer counts as a cage.... you didn't complain Friday night

whitedevil

oh yea, you told me that story last week about your gf and sisters car. You left the picture of her at my house, did you want it back?

as for the not complaining, I didn't feel a thing, no biggy. lol

stubby

No you keep it, might give you something to look forward to everynight you are in the garage. Might also save on bandwidth so you don't have to always look for the newest midget porn

stubby

Odd, you sure did walk funny the next day

Reference # 3 diversion; recreation; pleasant pastime

You ride your bike to the store, to work, to IC where ever cause its fun...riding is a recreational activity and a pleasent past time all are covered in the definition of SPORT

stubby

Knitting and reading are also pleasant past times for some, but they aren't a sport.

katnip

Reference #1 of the definition please this is all covered in the definition I provided.

an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess

e11charlie

Now my first girlfriend wouldnt fall into this but wouldnt ###king be a sport then? By this definition then porn stars are athletes and should be allowed in the Olympics.

katnip

I think so cause some women compete at it to see how many guys they can do in a 24hr period...

Jermacide

i dont know dude....you've never seen Brandy and I with our kindle's out reading.....sometimes all you hear is , click, click, clkick, ....its like a race to see who can finish their book first.....seriously...its pretty competative...i think i might have even bumped up a couple beats per minute on the heart rate too

katnip

Sport requires physical activity J...

Jermacide

it counts trust me.....I physically have to move my finger to the "next page" button and physically press the button....

and that can take some prowess too...

whitedevil

Well then I guess riding the bicycle to the store is a sport as well. Damn I didn't realize how active in sports we all were. LMAO

stubby

Negative, knitting and reading don't require skill. I think the lack of reading comprehension on this forum is proof enough.

Jermacide

if reading doesnt take skill then why do all the schools rate the "reading skills" of their students?

huh huh?

its a skill...not a very hard skill to aquire but it is a skilll

"Reading is the receptive skill in the written mode. It can develop independently of listening and speaking skills, but often develops along with them, especially in societies with a highly-developed literary tradition. Reading can help build vocabulary that helps listening comprehension at the later stages, particularly"

stubby

Reading isn't a skill, its the comprehension part where the skill is involved

Jermacide

listening is a skill too.....lets make a sport out of that...

katnip

It requires no physical activity to read or listen...bicycle riding is a sport too if you ride other then out of necessity that is...we ride our bikes for pleasure as well as necessity at times...if you ride a bicycle for pleasure like those dudes that hold up traffic and wear unitards or down mountains with now trails its a sport...I doubt anyone on this forum solely uses their bikes for commuting

katnip

Based on the definition I feel riding meets that criteria therefore I choose to call it a sport...there are plenty of people that play basket ball and shoot hoops or throw a football around that dont play in the NBA or the NFL but its still considered a sport even though they choose not to make it competitive...I feel the same applies here as there are people that race and its a sport although we choose ride for fun.

Thats just my opinion and you are entitled to yours and may politely disagree.

Jermacide

is going to the gym to keep your sanity considered a sport?

oh wait thats medication

steven32

im bummed that i wont be able to make it sunday. when is the next gathering gonna be

e11charlie

You have your opinion and I have the facts. Wait standby......Ok the wife says that I do not have an opinion at this time so I withdraw all previous comments. Carry on.

m5james

ShotGunBetty organized this one, so maybe you can initiate the next one.

steven32

haha i have no idea. i just moved to boise last august, so i really dont know any good "meeting spots". maybe i will try after this meet, so that we dont get too ahead of ourselves

e11charlie

You dont have to know meeting spots just call out say McDonald's it will change 20 times before some one gets fed up and just says this is where we are going be there or not.

m5james

Where from? I don't know a lot of spots in this area either, and when I tried seeing if we could have one regular meeting spot all the time like we did in Seattle, it was quickly shot down and turned into the bickering thread that it is.

steven32

well in that case...sounds good to me. i will post somethin after this weekend.

from twin falls. i've learned my way around really well, i just have never had to meet with a group at places.
