Okay..its raining and I am bored...so sitting here, watching the lightening...and thinking....(I do that on occasion)
1. Been riding my own for over a year....and curves scare the hell out of me...if the sign says 30mph...I will do 30 mph....so....how long before I overcome the fear of doing 35 mph on a 30 mph curve? And yes...I know that is a recommended speed for BAD road conditions...but the sign says.......lol
2. Is there a way to slap the guys riding behind me with out stopping? They more...

2. Is there a way to slap the guys riding behind me with out stopping? They like to deliberately take me on curvey roads...and don't tell me...until I see the first sign..I look in my mirror and they have this smart ass grin on their face!!
3. I need to put my 30 pound cat on a diet....he is getting a sway back...and has to take a break half way up the stairs...but I have a 4 pound 17 year old cat...so how do I do this?
4. Why are the Honda Goldwings so freakin' quiet? Had one come up on me....and I swear I never heard a thing!!
5. Would you buy a bike from a female salesperson?
6. Why am I obsessed with making the bed up before I go to bed....if I did'nt make it in the morning?
5. i dont do well with any salesperson, some remind me of bad bumper stickers with no pitch... its their job to sell, i dont buy without being a royal pain in the ass.. things cost so much, its such a delicate situation for both the sales people and the customer.. to hell if they are wearing a shirt or a kilt, its all the same for motor..
4.Saw one with training wheels on the back once, it was hysterical.. if i rode one, id need an extra set-o-wheels and a steering wheel off a yacht to help me too, man oh man.. I suppose being so massive in size constitutes not needing the sound.... or perhaps they are so gigantic they they break the sound barrier.. tell ya one thing, id be a baby in a cradle on back of one of them.. ever see the passenger seats... zzzzzzz
1. quit looking at the sign, that wont hurt ya, like everyone said, turn your head darling...its amazing how the hands and the eyes have a connection... same goes for feeling someones... oh nevermind..
Ok..the aliens are here!! I wasn't preferred 10 min ago!! Posted the pics on the BD blog, added & deleted pics from my profile..I'm preferred again..WTF??
So....I guess getting you to babysit Boo in June is out of the question!!! lol

1. I haven't had the opportunity to ride a bike of my own as of yet on curves. But,as a passenger, curves always make me a little queasy. I sometimes have to close my eyes. Yet,I love the feeling ...

Yet,I love the feeling of a real twistie. Go figure. 2. I'll let you know if and when that ever happens to me. 3. We have a very portly pug named Tito. He steals bologna sandwiches. It's hard to keep him on a diet. He looks so damned cute when he's a thief! 4.I agree with what Knuckle says. 5. Sure I would. 6. I can't sleep in an un-made bed,either. 7. There must be some atmospheric reason I guess. I think blue suits the sky just fine.

LMAO..I don't know which of of you two I'm laughing at harder! I have the exact obsession with making my bed..always thought it's crazy, but I just can't get in a messy bed. And...well, unfortunately you know how I feel about those cats LOL

1. Remember to look through the curve at where you want to go, and set up your entrance speed before you get into the turn.
2. Once you get #1 down, this won't be an issue.

Falcon..I do that the minute I see that damn yellow sign....and then I slow down, and after I make the curve...I bitch at myself for slowing down!! Sounds like I just need to build my confidence and conquer my fears....I love curves when I am back more...

3. Less food less often, but make sure your vet agrees first.
4. Most bikes are quiet out of the factory. There's something to be said for riding down the road with only the wind going past you making any noise.
5. Sure
6. You aren't obsessed, you're just making sure they guy actually left.
7. When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The color with the shorter wavelength is scattered more by this collision. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.

1. Cornering is the most fun you can have on a moving motorcycle um, I think. It makes sense to be conservative, because mistakes can be expensive and painful. That said most people grossly under estimate how aggressively you can turn or stop a motorcycle.
You might want to try one of the track day schools. Many will provide everything from the bike to the riding gear. A lot of what you learn will translate to the street even though the bikes are very different. The best of these is Freddy Spenser's school in Las Vegas. It's a bit expensive but incredible learning and you get to do Vegas at night...
One last note on corners. If you are ever in a corner to hot and think you won't make it - KEEP TURNING - and you likely will make it. If in the worst case you don't, trust me low siding is way preferable to a high side or hitting a barrier or a tree, or a hydrant.
2. Two words - shock collars
3. Two suggestions: Wellness Chicken or drop Kitty close to nearest Vietnamese restaurant
4. Sometimes stealth is good
5. Sure
6. It feels good???
7. Atmospheric absorption and refraction from the sun or God just likes it that way
Billions.....Vietnamese Restaurant!!

#1 - I'm not programed with this information.
#2 - In advance - make water balloons out of cheap rubber gloves. Carry them somewhere handy where, every now and then, you can toss one over your shoulder.
#3 - I think you could get on Opra with this question.
#4 - Rubber Band motors are just a lot quieter than engines made of metal firing real gasoline and stuff like that. Noschool knows a whole lot more about this than I do.
#5 - I would buy just about ANYTHING from a female salesperson. (And have.)
#6 - See #1 above.
#7 - Because it would be really difficult for us red-green color-blind guys to see it if the sky were, say, red.

Answer: myself, what i did was im sure not right, but i took corners i knew from driving in a car. if it was say a 30 mph corner, i would try it in the car at 5 over. if it felt ok i took it at 10 over, then 15 if it felt ok, then kept increasing it until i was bordering on drifting or squeeling tires.. i know a bike can go faster around a corner then a car, and a bike can for the most part lean and and even scrape the peg and be ok. (done it many times) now for my advice to you...dont take the corner any faster then you feel safe at....if you dont feel safe, then your not ready to go faster anyway.
2. Is there a way to slap the guys riding behind me with out stopping? They like to deliberately take me on curvey roads...and don't tell me...until I see the first sign..I look in my mirror and they have this smart ass grin on their face!!
Answer: wait till he stops, and shoot him.. simple!
3. I need to put my 30 pound cat on a diet....he is getting a sway back...and has to take a break half way up the stairs...but I have a 4 pound 17 year old cat...so how do I do this?
answer: old fat cats taste good with BBQ sauce
4. Why are the Honda Goldwings so freakin' quiet? Had one come up on me....and I swear I never heard a thing!!
Answer: would you want to announce to everyone you were riding a honda?
5. Would you buy a bike from a female salesperson?
answer: hell im a sucker for a pretty face.
6. Why am I obsessed with making the bed up before I go to bed....if I did'nt make it in the morning?
answer: your a sick puppy. seak help! the reason is not important. lol
7. Why is the sky blue? lol
Answer: its not, you said it was raining. see answer number 6
Answers 1) only you can answer that but I would do the 30 if it said 30 I have seen a lot of bikes down on the other side of the curve because they thought they could go faster
