Well i know this is rather far ahead, but im really excited about this, the big boys are finally comming back to VA. It will be at VMP just outside of Petersburg, VA. Im going along with my father. I know its parents weekend, but who wants to spend time with their parents when they can watch some sweet ass drag racing. SO WHOS IN????

Don't laugh! still in the process of breaking my bike in, a few more hundred miles to go! Can't wait.

Its Definitely Sucking

Well here's the damage. Not all bad, have all the parts together or on their way except for the upper fairings which I will leave alone for now and a new set of tires.

Windscreen missing



Custom flat-top gas tank



Detachable handlebar is t3h h0tness



rrrrrrrrrash!



The old tire



Date of manufacture - 2000 hock:



So the moral of this story is 1) dont do dumb shit, 2) dont do dumb shit when its cold outside because bike tires dont work very well in the cold, and 3) take better care of your equipment, especially if you are going to do dumb shit.

I went to Barber Motorsports Park yesterday, and what a beautiful day! Great weather, beatiful scenery, and a fun track. It really is more like a country club there, and I'm sure they have expansion plans with all the land they have. Here's some pretty pics (if the 318 wasn't in the way :lol: )

*wow, nevermind. Photobucket said it could take up to a meg per image, then resized them all to under 512k like it used to and they look like crap. Hooray. Too bad, I'm not fixing it.*

Okay...once again, the who wanna ride thread....lets keep this strictly as a "recruiting riders" thread, dont let my f'ing thread turn into shit again.

So, for those that like to ride or want to ride with a grp, feel free to contact me anytime. We ride basically everyday. On wkns we typically have a pretty decent size grp, this includes people from JMU, Bridgewater, and local townies.

Our main goal is not to terrorize the streets of Hburg, just a grp of people that like to ride, enjoy talking shit about our bikes, and make fun of each other.

Only post if you are interested or have suggestions on routes/places to go.

No talk of jackassery allowed!(until we meet in person)

For those squids like myself, dont say nothing dumb, and for people that are concerned with us new people discrediting the organization please try not to lecture us on safety as we are all adults and we are all aware of our own actions.

Thanks!

PS - Thanks junooni for the compliment. yes, im good at pissing people off, thats what i do best lol. Too bad i wasnt even trying to this time, just want to find more riders~ good and safe rider... me? oh please....u must have gotten the wrong guy. Im the king of road disaster, as many times i have fallen off my bike, me and my bike should both be wearing a stunt cage.



Ross - here is my usual attire for riding. LOL!!!


Squid 101 hahahaha


This is something i would do~ squidding the twists.

What the F? I came home from a drunken night of stupor and found an Easter basket from my mom this morning. It had some creme eggs in it which I've loved ever since I was a kid, but I'm noticing an alarming trend.

You could definitely tell over the years that each year they got smaller and smaller. But this year these things are like the size of a real bird's egg ?!? I remember when they were like ostrich egg - sized.

Has anyone seen any of the bigger ones around? I wonder if she just got like some mini creme eggs or something.

i'm finally finishing up the last stages of my recently set up saltwater tank. i love marine biology and i've been into saltwater tank keeping since i was a freshman but never had the chance to actually develop a good setup since i was always low on cash or moving back and forth from home to school and back again. so now that i'm kinda settled i bit the bullet and got things set up the way i've always wanted them.

its all coral right now, but i'll add a fish and an some small invertebrates in probably the next few weeks. i actually got the coral today from a local guy who mentioned on a message board that he needed to harvest some stuff that was growing like crazy. its about 100 bucks worth of coral, i gave him a 20 after he said he only wanted 15 i felt like i was practically stealing them!

anyway, it's a 10 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump, using natural filtration and 80 watts of power compact flourescent lighting. the plumbing was actually the biggest PITA. don't let people tell you that you need a monster sized tank with computer controls and a room full of filtration equipment....you can make it work in any size, and in a million different ways. i could go on, but i'll just leave the pictures to talking and if you have questions, fire away.


hmm, a black stand could use a yellow sticker....hehe




refugium, filtration is all natural baby! the macro algae will quickly grow throughout this area and take care of all the mechanical and chemical filtration i need


green star polyp...this picture does no justice. they are fully extended now and glow a phoflourescent green...really vivid.


anchor coral


pocillopora coral


because the glass on a tank this small is so thin, i can't drill for bulkheads so i have to use a siphon system. tank return on the top, siphon and priming reseviour on the bottom



reefing is not necessarily expensive either....at least not much more than many hobbies that people like us are into. i ghetto fabbed alot of stuff after doing my research and learning that i could build something just as good for way cheaper.

for me, i find so much relaxation and fascination with a reef tank, when i come home from a long day just sitting there for a minute and observing it makes my blood pressure drop like crazy. its a very rewarding hobby and there are alot of good people involved with it :thumbup:


no project is complete without Hulk Hogan wailing in glorious celebration

Be reasonable though. I'm not doing your Mom's...CARFAX anyway. I'm not going to risk losing it (I have no idea what criteria they cancel it under), but if it gets out of hand I'm gonna stop.

Post'em up with an email.
