Uh, I think bare nipples, very fake boobs and two women on the same bed in PJ bottoms and nothing else really should count as more than "R-rated."

Normally, I wouldn't bat at eye at this (you should see the other boards I am on, this one is tame in comparision), but this is a family-rated site.

That's why I put the warning there. Sorry, I'll delete it. Anyone that wants to see some cool bikes, Email me for the link. This morning it was only one girl :(

Actually, FLK, one of the options we use on a more... disturbing board is the addition of the [NWS] tag to thread titles (Not Work Safe). Basically that tag covers any genitalia, violence, etc. that might get a guy fired for reading it at work. I'm all for using such a tag here, but I don't know how well that would go over with everyone else.
BTW, those were some cool bikes.

the bikes are cool.... the one pic slipped in there was kinda weird, not sure why it was thrown in, didn't make any sense.... but I think you did the right thing Knfe in removing the link..... but the thought (the bikes for Joe) was nice ;)

It's not a matter of being work safe, it's a matter of being kid safe. If we limited access to 'adults', then a work safe tag would be fine. Since there are a number of youngsters around here, it's much safer to limit everything than just label it.
I too appreciate you removing the link.

It's more like setting a mouse trap, then explaining to the mouse how it works and walking away.
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese ;)
OG,
I agree, no problem. His website is one darn picture away from being rated "G"! :o

Timmain, that other website you are referring to, is it TBF?

FLK..interesting thing about how that bike/midlife crisis thing seems to work.
There are several guys in our neighborhood in our age group that have gotten bikes. My husband had one for years when younger, and got rid of it when determined couldn't strap carseat to it. We had 2 cars, all he had to do was park it. I've asked him if he wants to get another..he says no...his back would hurt..he just wouldn't ride it.

Michelle,
I've been riding bikes since I was 6 and have owned one just about all my life. (First wife/divorce interupted it for few years) :rolleyes:
Living here in FL, it's a great form of year round transportation for quick trips and going places without bringing the family along. I'm very happy with the bike I have now. It handles great and has more power than I'll ever need. It's just that those V8 powered monsters on my friends site are kind of calling to me :D
A lot of riders give up riding for various reasons. I respect that. One thing you don't want to do is ride if your heart and mind isn't into it and focused on it. Back pain would sure make it tough for me to focus on the ride.

It's a 'blast'! :D

I have an 02 Buell X1 White Lightning Edtion. I bought in new in late 03. I was just at the Suzuki shop and will probably be upgrading in the next month or so. The Buell is a lot of fun around town but any longer trips or Daytona is BRUTAL :(

If it is I had my midlife crisis when I was 12 years old. I think the reason you don't see more younger guys riding is the cost. Not that its all that expensive where a vehicle is concerned, but as a toy.......

Based on what you posted above, you must not have looked at the website.

HEHE..Everyone is entitled to their mid-life crisis vehicle of choice. My cousin got a litte yellow convertable for hers and we had a great time! I told my DH that's what I wanted for mine, but I changed my mind and got a SUV instead.
The Harley/Buell dealership is about 1 1/2 mi from our house. The guys in the neighborhood all seem to have Harleys. One couple even got them and ride together. I'm not talking younger people...these folks are upper 40's to 50's. They are where their kids are gone..out of college and they can spend their money on themselves.

Joe,
Those have been in the motorcycle press for the past two year. Any news or release date on them?? I was just at the Suzuki shop yesterday with my son. I will eventually end up on a Hayabusa. The Buell was just a warm up. The V8 bikes are cool but not for everyday riding. I babysat a Busa for a freind last summer and fell in love with it. I fit just right on them and they do everything so well ;) Just gotta sell a few extra knives this spring!!!

Hayas are sick!! I need one, but I'm too small and scared to smash on the freeway. But I'm happy with what I have right now. When summer comes I think I might get a gixxer 1000. I'm getting alittle tired of yamis.
Here's a couple of old pics of the r1.

Hayabusa's are scary bikes. The guy who painted my husband's last bike wrecked on one--he was doing well over 100 when he left the road. The largest piece of the bike they found was smaller than his helmet. He survived the wreck--no clue how--and was back on a new one before the last cast came off. He'd removed the rev-limiter, and made several modifications.
My husband is selling his 1800--he just doesn't get to ride it enough right now. Less than 3,000 miles, 2 years old, red...Anyone interested? :)

I wouldn't have considered a bike like the Busa 20 years ago. I would have been a statistic in no time. These days, my riding is MUCH less aggressive. I take it very easy. Lots of people set up the Busa's as more of a touring bike. That's what I'm going to do, no stoppies or 5th gear wheelies :) I'd be much more likely to get crazy on my Buell and I behave on that as well.
OG,
What Brand is it?? A Honda VTX???
OrionGirl
02-28-2005, 12:59 PM
Yep, it's a VTX. Sorry--I've always just called it the 1800.
The guy who wrecked is in his 60's. :D

When you mentioned an 1800 and being red I just thought of the VTX. One of my best friends has one. It will move my BUTT along real well but I'm just not ready for a cruiser just yet. Part of that mid life crisis theory ;)

No date for the MT-01 release here..
I rode a Hayabusa once and my back can't handle that position.
The MT-01 is supposed to sell for around $10,000 when/if they market it here.
Seems like a fair price.

Joe,
There's much that can be done with the Busa to change the riding position. On a stock one, I can't fit my knees up inside the tank area. They make handle bar risers, higher windscreens, lower footpegs and a bunch of other stuff to make the bike fit adjustable. They even make a backrest rear seat!!
There are a lot of bikes in that "naked" class for the MT to compete against. It will be interesting to see how it's received.

I love the Z! (Not trying to rub it in) Its just been a great bike, that fits me perfectly. There are a few things on it that I couldn't stand, the seat, mirrors, and heavy exhaust just had to go. Now its just about perfect.
I had to buy the Shadow for two-up riding though, my wife said it wasn't comfortable enough for longer two-up trips. It's nice to just get out and go, and perfect for riding with my mom and dad, who both have cruisers. I don't feel like I'm going to run them over in the corners on the Shadow. :)
Thanks for the compliments.

[QUOTE]
I ride with a few Gixxers, I can't fit to good on them!! I'd rather have that kind of power in the longer lower wheelbase of the Busa. Even with my 280lbs on the tank the front end lifts almost too easily. I guess I'm too old for a Gixxer!

Keep the buell. Or better yet, turn it in for an old 45 or a pan. If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand!!! Live to ride and ride to live.
gonefishin, an old pan...now your talking, one of these days I'll rebuild a 48. I love my evo, but theres something about those panheads....
