I try to live by the adage...if you can't dish it in, don't dish it out. Guess growning up with a brother and sister you learn to have tough skin.

Let's go! Tell your boss I said it would be okay if you play hooky one day next week. If you can run that ATV on asphalt I can keep up with you. My scooter isn't one of those dual-sports or equipped with dirt tires....like my truck...it's a pavement queen. I've still got the scares from the one time I took the scooter off the pavement...and that wasn't exactly a planned direction; hard lesson learned that way.

 

................................................

 

lol. I have FIVE siblings

I can run the ATV on asphault, just not legally...

How bad did you wreck?

RON! What's new my friend?

 

Hello my fellow 7.3 and non 7.3 OT'ers!

All this atv scooter talk is making me wanna go fire up the xt600!

 

good morning Lisa!!! everything going well here.. we are now living on the lake and we are renting out cabins lakeside cabin near white mountains we have 4 cabins..we also have 15 motel rooms we rent but only in the summer....how about you?? was Santa good to ya this year?? love the truck in the snow pic...i have about 2 feet of snow on my truch right now..ill finish the shop today and get her inside...need to start pulling the motor..

 

Holy Smokes! I've got a sister-in-law that has four (oldest is 19, youngest is 3) and I thought she was crazy. Actually she is...but that's another story. There's a reason I'm not a teacher...there's only so long I can handle my own two kids.

Details, details....don't be skeered

Took a 45mph curve at 60-65 and did $3500 worth of damage to my Boulevard; I had $7k billed to me by the hospital. Didn't break anything other than my pride...but a lovely case of road rash on my left arm, grapefruit sized knot near my left kidney, destroyed the near new jacket I had on, tore the leather off my new steel toe boots and some other minor damage. I was off work for a full week, couldn't move for the first day because of the pain...and when I finally got moving around the house it was at a snails pace. The lesson learned that day? Just because you've logged a 1k miles on your new scooter doesn't mean you can keep up with the guy ahead of you that's logged 20k-30k on his scooter. I don't see how those knee dragers on crotch-rockets do it, I still slow up to get my speed near what's "suggested" for a curve before I lay into the curve and the wreck was several years ago.

 

Well load that thing up in the truck and meet me at my house tomorrow, we'll go for a ride.

WOW, sounds pretty awesome! Glad to hear of it Ron. We missed you around here you know. Maybe I'll come stay in a cabin sometime.

Me? Nothin much, but I got some things in the works.... I was a bad girl and didn't get anything from Santa this year, but I'm hoping to see a hefty tax return so I can buy some goodies for the truck. On the snow, ahh yeah, we've had a crapload of it this year...and its been colder than a witch's tata up until a week ago...good thing my truck is such a good girl and will start in such extreme temps.

Pulling the motor...I think I remember a thread a while back, but remind me what happened?

 

Its my mother that's crazy (and she really is) I was just along for the ride.

I wouldn't trade my siblings for the world. They are all my best friends and all very brilliant and successful people.

And I ain't skeered, but maybe I should be. I've had that ATV at top speed on the asphault on bad tires wearing no helmet or any protective gear.

Dang. A lesson learned the hard way I guess, but good thing it wasn't worse, and good thing you were wearing the proper gear.

 

For the record I only serve never consume artichoke dick ...but its like swimming and should always wait 30 min after you eat...don't want a cramp to ruin the fun

 

awww thanks Lisa...i miss the family too....any one from FTE gets a discount...

santa wasnt too good to me this year but my boy's made out well..im waiting on my tax return as well.. im pulling the motor to fix the oil pan gasket leak..while its out..new main and rod bearings going in..i also have a few other goodies going on her this year too...man PMS is hard to get over lol...

 

Recorded and noted.

Dang crossmember...lol.

Given the time/money, pullin the motor on one of these trucks is a nice option, that way you can also clean it up and check for boost leaks and oil leaks you may not have been aware of.

A few other goodies..such as?

My kitchen table is full of parts awaiting install.

 

Good morning all. Lisa, Ron (good to see ya again), Steve, Jim.

I have not wrecked a bike YET in almost 30 years of riding. I am too conservative to get in trouble very often. (looks for wood to knock on)

 

Ouch. The hurting pride always seems to hurt the most too hey?


Id love to! I would even load my motorbike up too! Oh wait, thats probably what you meant anyways!

Hey Jay. What kinda bike ya have anyways? Ive had motorbikes all my life, but never had a bike license yet. Thinking about getting it last year, so this year maybe I should!

 

Morning Jay.

"thing" has many different meanings Sheldon.......

Honestly, I really don't care if the bike shows up or not.

 

Haha your a funny little girl Lisa

Ready for the weekend?

How bout everyone else? Anyone have big plans?
