Welcome to every college football stadium in the countryPurpleBaze said:The video ribbon wasn't the problem. The non-stop music being pumped in to cater to the people with short attention span got old... and that MC douchebag by the student section should DIAFF.

What cracks me up about the endless, blaring music is that a large part of the demographic that enjoys it either can't afford to go to the games or don't care about football.

Oh and I would be dead within a week on a sport bike, and I’m a good driver who has never been in an accident.

Mixed emotions as well. Sold my 996 cati after 2nd kid. Also, after watching my employee die from an old Lexus SUV on a free left turn. Wife was in my truck towing the race car in front of our group of 3 riders. Oldest Kid saw me performing CPR but it was a waste. Helmet flew off and he was dead before he hit the pavement. Just had his first kid.... my bike was sold before I knew it.Swaye said:
I have mixed emotions here. I love that you got this bike. But, this bike is what cost you the shot at the exceedingly difficult to get Rolex I found for you last week. Ducati. Rolex.

It had only 2 miles on it when I rode off from the dealership.
I was a big proponent of never riding alone. "They will see you!!," I said...Now I only ride on a track....on a client's bike like a beta bitch. Still dont trust anyone.
About 18 months later, lady got a reduced charge to wreckless endangerment from vehicular manslaughter. Community service and 5 years probation.
Speed, booze, or drugs not a factor. I think she was on her phone or messing with something in her car but cannot prove it.

I tried keeping this to the PMs to not derail the thread, but since more than just me seems to be onboard with the hawt bike talk, I'm right there with you guys. Although I've had four crashes at the track (which is pretty good for how much time I've spent out there), I've only crashed once on the street, with zero harm to myself. That being said, after the "EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!" high of being a new rider wore off and street riding became more routine (took about three years), things slowed down enough for me to start actually noticing the dangers around that I'd been previously ignoring due to having too much fun. Things like, "Huh, I never noticed that power pole right outside the apex of my favorite turn."Swaye said:
I sold my Harley V-Rod recently after the 3rd near miss of a deer at highway speed and about the 10th grandma turning right out in front of me on a farm road. I figure with all the night carrier landings, aircraft near misses, AIDS scares, fights and sluts who want to knife me, adding motorcycles to the mix would be what finally kills me.MisterEm said:

I raced dirtbikes as a kid, as one of my Dad's was really into motorcycle racing. So I literally grew up around bikes. But after many years of riding them on the street there have just been way to many close calls even when not hot dogging. Everything is trying to kill you on a motorcycle. Everything.
So that, coupled with the legal constraints of riding on public roads (when first gear gets you to 104 mph, what's the point of the other five?), led to me giving up asphalt riding altogether and sticking to dirt riding. After a couple of years of that, they built the Ridge, and I couldn't stay away from that, so back to the track. That I've got north of $25K tied up in a bike that I ride a half dozen times a year does NOT sit will with the Mrs...
I've got a backyard track that I ride around with my kids on, five turns and a couple of decent jumps. Throw them in front of me on a little KLX110 and rail it! That little no-power thing is my favorite bike I own, as you can wring its neck and get away with it. Makes me think if I ever did ride on the streets again it would be on something like a scooter or a Grom or something like that I could just fuck around on.
Also, @PurpleBaze, I know you're all geared up already, but as you replace things, I HIGHLY recommend:
Bell helmets. Only street brand right now integrating MIPS liners, so they protect against rotational energy (highly likely) as well as the direct impacts (less likely) that every other helmet is good for. Best bang for buck, too, IMO. Their photochromatic shield is expensive but totally works.
Held gloves. Made in Germany and fucking awesome. Stingray leather abrasion zones, kangaroo palms, full guantlet. No other company offers the kind of fit customization as well, with both half sizes and multiple finger lengths available in every size. Went from A* top of the line GP Techs, and the second tier Helds are night and day better in every way. I ordered from Sportbiketrackgear, as they let me buy three pairs, choose the one that fit, and ship the other two back at no charge.
Most everything else is pretty personal, but I think those are the two areas (helmet and gloves) where I've been through a LOT of options and really found one that's a step up. -
Thanks for the tips, @1to392831weretaken.

In the LPT post-game podcast, both Fatters and Ektard were adamant that neither Bandes nor Tuitele played. Even though they both were in the participation chart and, you know, played.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Bandes is a big round body, but he looked pretty decent on his couple snaps.GrundleStiltzkin said:I don't give 2 shits about the faggy uniform hot talk, but in person I thought they looked really good.
Ty Jones had the cast off with just some small splint on his thumb.
Danny Hammer non-suited, what's deal with that? -

My bike has been sitting in storage since my first kiddo was born.
