Lol, were they a 125 cc, 14 horse motor?

That's what my little CBR has! It's great fuel mileage, but the look on the bike aren't so great.

I mean sure, it's a great starter bike... but I've had it for over 3 seasons now. Definitely feeling like I need an upgrade by now hahaha.

I`m sure it`s a neat motorcycle like the one I started out on, it was even smaller and I had a real blast!

Well I dot have a bike but I feel accomplished . Went to a pre grad party tonight . First thing I did when I got there was took my friends keys to his mustang and hid em so he couldn't drink and drive . Good thing because he drank whiskey and he rarely drinks so he over did it. So I took him to his grandparents on his request . ( live right across the backalley so I walked him over.) and told them what he had done. they weren't very impressed that we woke them up. But hey better then drinking and driving . The scary part was one part in the night he told me I better of hid the keys good because he was going to drive home . I just thought he was going to have to lay a big beating on me before he got his keys . Well that's my story for tonight at least tonight i can go to bed not feeling guilty .

Thumbs up to you dude

I've had an experience similar to what you thought you'd have done to you if your friend wanted his keys.

One night at a party, a friend of mine got so drunk and angry because of a bad breakup that he ran in the direction of on-coming traffic for a couple kilometers...

Once we eventually tracked him down, he wouldn't stop trying to fight us... so I eventually had to physically fight my own best friend just so he would go home cause he had a crazy serious look in his eyes (but he was just really drunk). To my surprise, he took a swing at me, so I gave him a headlock and dropped him and we took him home.

Luckily, no one was hurt... but my friends pride.

Terrible things happen when alcohol is involved...

I could tell you guys a billion drunk stories from when I was younger! Im not old now, but I used to drink a ton back when I was 16-23 years of age, and back then we used to booze cruise all the time.

I remember many times fighting friends both for the keys, and so they couldnt have the keys, drunk and sober! Its never a good idea to drink when your hammered though, I dont condone it! (even though ive done my fair share back in the day )

No dice on me coming up this weekend Morris... I just can't justify the trip with enough stuff to do while I'm there.

I'll get back to you on this... just like with everyone else I want to get a chance to visit, I can't seem to find the time to get out anywhere, or can't justify the trip!

Nice! Although, I'm sure you've seen my opinion on harleys from previous posts hahaha.

That's pretty awesome that you drove to stoon to sell your bike. You must have really wanted to have one last rip on it or something.

lol... I attempted to educate you on your opinion of Harley Davidson motorcycles, but you're entitled to your opinion whatever it may be. I trailered the Busa to s'toon, the guy was paying my asking price, I appreciated the "no dickering" dealing, so offered to deliver the bike.

The Road king is a very comfortable bike. I'm looking forward to putting a plate on it Monday and doing a legal ride...

I`m not a big HD fan but from seeing a friend`s HD I`m beginning to think that they do have charm and some good points.
Where you been hiding Sherm? Still moving back home soon?
