Hey Graham, You are supposed to KISS the frogs looking for a prince, not **** them!!!!

Andy T., Did you actually expect to get sympathy from posting on the board an obvious "Oh woe is me, my life sucks cuz I'm not rich and my boss is a Dick" whining and belly aching post. If you want sympathy complain to your significant other or the lads at the pub. I too did not receive a raise, Also my overtime has been cut dramatically, But hey I got a good job, I can pay my bills, I can still go ride. I got nothing to complain about. I also know of people taking pay cuts. If you want advice on what to do write to "Dear Abby"

Well if it is your brother's bike then he is paying for the parts right? So just order all new plates (friction and metal) and give him some story about "optimum performance and just replacing friction plates will actually wear them out faster as they will have to bed in with the old metal plates." That way it's easier on your brain and you don't have to do much research just order and throw in. Just a thought

I am assuming you mean physically cause that dude is already mentally crippled. That had to hurt when street bike tommy came off that bike and landed on his back on the concrete.

I wish we got that in the States.

Thanks No Jive Dang it I must have been blinded by that Jolene lady again!! See Lane on Nitro Circus Can be seen at 00:38 Of course there is the mandatory commercial before the video plays

Hey No Jive, I saw an episode recently with Gary Coleman, they did some car crashes and the air springboard launch. Is this the episode you speak of? If so, at what point did you see Lane?

One name comes to mind and only one for the best in the world ever..........Lane Leavitt. OK I had one to many this morning I need to sleep now.

Embarrassing for you yes, but hilarious for us. You did have a good sense of humor about it, I didn't even hear one swear word!! On the serious side Sam, I would like to thank you for all your hard work, and to thank all of the event workers for all they are doing to provide a couple days of fun for the rest of us. (did I just kiss enough to get a couple of cleans punched on my card??) I am so looking forward to this event. I WANNA CRA..........I MEAN RIDE!!!

DOH! I should look a little closer.

HMMM the car is real................but the seller's name is kept private............. so is this real car actually owned by the person that sent the E-mail? Probably NOT!!

YEA!!!!! Biff can come out and play a week from Saturday!!!!!!!

Found some super secret footage of what to expect. Excellent Sam totally superb!!

Too bad the damn thing comes with a cover and makes it difficult to find in the dark.

Yep know of a gentleman that had MANY stitches in his upper shin, right between top of boots and knee, from having a footpeg scrape up his shin, went down to the bone. Tough and crazy that he is, he finished the trial without a complaint.

Reminds me of Biffsgasgas out at our club grounds, there is a creek (stream) that flows through the property, it was early spring so the water is still quite cold. He decides to splatter the opposite bank, first time made it fine, then the famous "Hey ya'll watch this". Second time rear tire landed in water and he gracefully fell over sideways, one side of his body was just soaked. We were too busy laughing to help pull him out, (such nice guys that we are) he was fine and finished riding out the day, all be it quite chilled....

looking snazzy

First, I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Super Sam for the use of his property. Secondly, I think the cooperation between MOTA and TI for this event is truly great. Thirdly, Yes watching Biff ride is definitely an Exhibition!!! Last year was great fun and I believe the Michiana Club (I think Sam was the only member) did an excellent job with sections and handling the unexpectedly HUGE turnout. This year with planning ahead for a HUGE turnout and with using the TI computer scoring I am certain that the Michiana club (well I think it is still just Sam) will pull off an awesome event. It does sound like there will be a mess of "behind the scenes" stuff, sign up, scoring, computer glitches, etc.... that the rest of us may never see but I say thank you to those that have to deal with that to make a fun event for us. Hey Sam was that enough butt kissing to earn a few cleans?????

Well, learn something new everyday, After a little searching it appears the common belief is that niggard and therefore niggardly are possibly of Scandinavian origin and not associated with the dreadful N-word of Latin origin. I suspect DFWilson may have known this, but chose to use that particular word instead of "miserly" or "stingy" due to its closeness in sounding like the dreaded N-word and the color of our current president. Thank you. How do you know this for sure? You have seen the actual DVDs given to Brown? You have been given an official press report from Obama or Brown to the properties of said DVDs? Fine, I get the point that you feel the gift was "cheap and non-memorable" but my point is if you are going to complain. get the facts straight as to what the gift was. OH yea, Who cares about the gifts????? did they get any work done? What was decided, implemented or instituted that will fix this global economic crisis thingy? I want to afford to go riding again.

It was actually 25 DVDs that Obama gave Brown. So please get your facts straight before resorting to racial name calling.

not sure about the gold but I would have to say that the fork clamps and the frame should be the same color. Whether it be gold or chrome. Would look better in my opinion.

Yep, I usually ride in Windsor with MOTA. I am the goofball riding in black shorts, but I must admit I got the idea from a Canadian member of MOTA. I won't be riding any Windsor events this year, I have no passport to get back into the States. Crossing into Canada has never been a problem but the U.S. is getting much more strict. I have this strange attachment to sleeping in my own bed. So getting back into the States is a must. I think I remember seeing your bike there. pretty sure it was the only Caby there. Funny how we remember bikes and not the riders. I checked out the trials Ontario website thought it was really nice to see the MOTA events in Windsor listed in the schedule. Should help boost attendance. The new passport requirement may cut down on how many come over from the States, we shall see.

Found this in Wayne's Help on the Sherco site. Not sure if it is dual map or not. Probably not. hope it helps, but if not hope I didn't waste too much of your time. Wiring Diagram

OK I have read a little bit about this "Gift giving Snub, fiasco....whatever" Here is my opinion, totally different than anything I have read so far. These 2 gentlemen were to meet and get some work done. They were working, in my opinion NO GIFT was necessary. Why are there gifts being exchanged anyways. Getting the job done is more important than kissing each others butts to try and make nicey nicey. I don't like everybody I work with (oooh big surprise) and I suspect nobody else on here does either, but I still have to work with them. Secondly these gifts were to these two men why does the rest of the world care? Christ this is almost as bad as "needing" to see the photos of a beat up Rhianna. The only thing I care about the meeting between these two is this..........DID SOMETHING GET SOLVED!!!! So let's quit worrying about trivial things that the media seems to believe are important and demand some news about something that is actually important. Anybody know what the meeting was about? Does anybody know what got solved, decided or implemented? Probably not, but by golly the whole ****ING world knows who gave what gift!!!

I get by with the help of my friends and the kindness of strangers............. I was given a pair of Gaerne boots, I am unsure of how old they are, but I have been using them for about 3 yrs, a little beat up but they still work just fine, mostly waterproof, as long as the water stays below the inner "gator" liner thingy. (such technical terms I use ) Only problem I have is something rubs the front of my ankle and wears through the skin, not sure if it is the boots or my ankle braces. quick easy fix is I put band-aids in that spot, no more problem. I am sure if I buy a pair of boots it will be Gaerne. My friend has worn through the soles of his new Novagars in about a season. Have heard Alpinestars are the most comfortable. Have seen a pair of Diadora stones and it looks like there is a tougher section of sole where the footpeg sits. I kinda like that idea.
