Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Went to my first game at Husky Stadium since 2007

If you're puking-in-the-bleachers drink, $45 is a clean getaway.backthepack said:

I'm just old and grumpy.
Anyway, didn't eat anything at the stadium. Saved myself for The Bine. The beer was the pFriem pilsner - very nice. -

Fuck. Yeah.PurpleBaze said:@1to392831weretaken since you mentioned Triumph, I thought you might like my latest purchase. I got it one week ago today.
2019 Ducati Supersport S
It had only 2 miles on it when I rode off from the dealership.
More CSB that you might like as a Ducatisti:
I'm at the Ridge last month, and I'm riding behind a red Panigale. I close like 30 yards on him into T1, and I'm right on his ass through T2-T4, then he just blasts away down the short straight into the Carousel. I catch him on the brakes, ride his ass through the turn and all the way through 9, then he just blasts up the hill, yarding me by like 20 yards up that short straight. I make all of it up braking into T11, having to veer a little right to avoid hitting him, and at this point I'm thinking, "Stop fucking around. You're faster than this guy, so just save it to the front straight and blow by him."
So I hang behind, drop down the Ridge complex, put it on my ear through 15, and I'm RIGHT on his back tire. This bike has a freaking license plate still on it, so I'm not too worried.
Then the fucker just disappears. I'm on the gas so hard that I'm sliding the rear on the transition from 15 to 16, yet this guy just pulls a fucking football field on my before I can even get into third gear. Holy shit! He probably had 150 yards be the time to brake into 1, and once again I closed right up in on him again. This kept up for three laps, then the session was over.
I tracked him down to shoot the shit with him after the session and tell him how fun it was and how much of a bitch he was to try getting around, and I notice the winglets on the nose of his bike: Panigale V4R. No wonder. I bike dynoed at 182 hp to the ground. Those things are said to put down 220. I toooooootally belive it!
Take that new bike to the track. It's safe, fun, and you won't regret it. You will not spend better money on two wheels, and you'll become a way better/safer rider.

His second kick went out of bounds so he’s dead to meGrundleStiltzkin said:Oh shit, the other thing, EVERY kickoff into the end zone.

The reason I ended up with the SS is that I was actually interested in getting a Panigale 899. You can find good deals on those, because everyone is getting the 959 these days. Anyway, I didn't like the riding position. I think it would have ended up hurting after a while. Plus, the Panigale is a single-seat bike. I wanted the option of being able to take a passenger if need be.1to392831weretaken said:

Ducati is having a Rev event at The Ridge on 9/16, which I'm tentatively planning on attending. That all depends on how the weather turns out. I crashed my Ninja on turn 13 there about 2 weeks ago, mainly because of my unfamiliarity with the track. I had looked at the layout and watched videos of it. We also went around the track a couple of times behind a pace car. In any case, I came up on turn 13 too fast and couldn't salvage it, so I low-sided and slid off the track. The track suit was awesome in saving my sorry ass. The Ninja is a little beat up, but I'm going to be working on it in the next few weeks to patch it up.
Back to the SS. It's an absolute joy to ride. I rode it home last Saturday. Then I rode it Monday through Friday. I was planning on riding it today after the game, but my buddy and I went out to dinner and I ran out of time. It's comfortable and has a lot of great technology on it: Quick Shifter, ABS, Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension, & 3 riding modes (Sport, Touring, & Urban). I love the sound of the engine and how it coughs when it revs down below 2000 RPM. It's tempting to put Akrapovic titanium pipes on it, but I'd rather spend the $3000 on something else. Plus, I kinda want to keep my bike stock.
My Ducati dealer is also having a meet & ride event next Saturday, which I'm going to attend. Looking forward to finding some new riding buddies and socializing. I also requested to become a member of the local Desmo Owners Club.

If you think that MC is bad, you should have seen the fat, white, 40 year old faggot they had doing it the last few years.PurpleBaze said:The video ribbon wasn't the problem.

I'd prefer no MC at all. But then I'm an old, rich, white carmudgeon.EsophagealFeces said:

Owner's name was Howard. Tall guy, great stories, spit a lot when he talked. The Triumph mothership ran him out of business because they wanted him to have a "pretty shop" like Harley dealers these days. Fucking dumb.1to392831weretaken said:
CSB time: Several years ago, I was at the Triumph dealership (now defunct) in Bellingham test-riding a bike. I'm shooting the shit with the owner, and he mentions that life is good, as there's a brewery going in next door. So I walk down there, and they're getting the place ready. There's a big banner for "grand opening Saturday," but it's still Wednesday. The owner sees us gawking and comes out to talk to us. Tells us that they're still getting ready, but they may be done early and to check back tomorrow. So we did, and were the second group seated in the place's history.biak1 said:If you ain’t going to Tipsy Cow and getting a Chuckanut Pilsner I don’t know what to tell you.
Food was amazing. Beer was hot dogshit. Got the sampler, and I could see through the stout! They all tasted the same and bland. They got WAY better overtime as they got their feet under them. -
Oh I know. Howard is the shit. Like Tim at CS, he's one of those Bellingham motorcycle scene mainstays. I got the whole story from him a few years later. I think he's still open but only doing service these days. Then again, I haven't checked in in a few years.biak1 said:
