These are the photos I wanted attached, I did not realize I was quoting a quote. Joe, you can get FTE Ken to deduct one post from my total if you like...............LMAO......

Had a dirtbike back in the day, but these days this old lady just hops around on an ATV. My Yamaha Kodiak. Not the fastest quad out there but slides around corners nicely, is fairly easy to jump for a 4x4 and never gets stuck.

how many of you have ever pulled over a cop to ask them why they were driving so fast? i have.... she nearly f'ing killed me, so yeah, i did it...

ever pull up at a light and be right next to a cop? take off hard but get right up to the limit and stay there? then when they go to pass you, honk and wag that "no no NO" finger at them? yeah, that'll start some interesting conversations...


Don't get me wrong, I have a great deal of respect for policemen (and women... bring the cuffs baby!!) but so long as they don't abuse the power given them - our guy Mike (Tenn01???) is one I would never disrespect. But go live in MD for a few months... they're most likely the opposite of Mike, and it's a shame

Still... the adrenaline rush is ADDICTIVE!!!!

Well it's not even close to a desert climate where I live (Flagstaff) I'm at 7000 ft elevation. This picture was taken about 1 mile from my house



And this one just a couple miles away

pffftt.... I just lay in bed and take Nyquil, TheraFlu, or whatever medicines we have around that knock me out. The last time I got sick (the "Iraq Crud" that everyone gets when the first get there I'm not counting!), I was knocked on my butt for days. Look back at the beginning of this thread -- I told that story back when we were talking about getting shots in the @$$.

Update on that Odometer trick I posted last night.... It wipes out your trip odometer (DAMMIT!!). I track my mileage so I'm screwed this time. But it does indeed return to standard odometer mode when you cycle the key.

EDIT: Also, one of the things you can look at is the odometer, so you can still see it even in that mode.
