???Who dreams of Sturgis???View Messages“Sorry to be a wet blanket and all, but my daddy was an orthopædic surgeon and I was raised on motorcycle wreck stories. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE....” 11:19:25 AM 5/01/03 “They call them "murdercycles" in the ER. Lots of head trauma.” 11:24:45 AM 5/01/03 “The trauma docs here call the "Donor-cycles"....” 11:34:14 AM 5/01/03 “yow.” 11:39:28 AM 5/01/03 “Good job bummin everybody out, Tilt :)” 11:44:14 AM 5/01/03 “Tilt sounds like my ex wife.” 12:01:57 PM 5/01/03 “Ya wanna hear the stories? Didn't think so.” 12:04:08 PM 5/01/03 “There is no doubt that you have to take defensive driving to a whole new level when you are the one on the bike. I am a helmet kind of person and personally think that riding without one is suicidal.” 12:10:38 PM 5/01/03 “I'm just trying to say BE CAREFUL.” 12:23:15 PM 5/01/03 “yes, mom,,,,I promise not to play in the street..... lol” 12:26:55 PM 5/01/03 “I concur w/ Walkindude. Although I do know a fella who lost his lower leg in a motorcyle accident and still hikes like a son-of-a-b!tch. He's pretty impressive. Inspiring really. I watched my dad get around on crutches for a few months with broken kneecaps, when I was but a wee lass. I loved riding his motorcycle up until then. Monster garage is a kewl show. I have no interest in mechanics but love the artistic side to Jesse's creations.” 12:35:19 PM 5/01/03 “That show makes me wish I could weld. Everytime I say something about taking a welding class, my wife just gives me that look...” 12:36:56 PM 5/01/03 “Tell her you'd be able to create lovely lawn furniture and garden ornaments, lol. It'll get you what you want. ;)” 12:41:17 PM 5/01/03 “You'll put your eye out with one of those things.” 12:42:34 PM 5/01/03 “There was an interesting story, which I can't seem to find - about a guy who won several million on the lottery who went out and bought a Harley and was killed on it three days later.” 12:43:52 PM 5/01/03 “I wish that would work, Sass, but she knows me too well, lol...” 12:51:55 PM 5/01/03 “I have a real nice scar on my lower leg where something under a car punctured down to the bone after a colision on my bike years ago. Sold what was left of the bike and haven't rode since. A lot of fun up till that point.” 12:54:37 PM 5/01/03 “I have ridden in the past, and may in the future. Right now, my kids are too young and would miss their daddy too much. Plus, Huntsville is an amazingly dangerous place to ride, since all the drivers here are whack jobs.” 12:56:55 PM 5/01/03 “I had a motorcycle in high school. When my Father passed away a few years back he had a crotch rocket he had picked up as payment for a debt. I had to get tires for it and stuff before we could sell it. I drove it around town to get it fixed up. It was not enjoyable at all. I felt naked on that thing and much prefer my truck.” 1:01:25 PM 5/01/03 “I went to Sturgis by accident once. I was driving around the country at the time and was in the Black Hills asking myself, damn, people like to ride bikes out here. Next thing I knew I found myself sleeping in a tent in the middle of the festivites-couldn't sleep a wink that night.” 3:43:16 PM 5/01/03 “this year, i rode from atlanta to daytona bike week. it's just not a cool as it used to be. so we rode to key west. 2000+ miles in just a few days is what getting a bike is all about.” 4:26:33 PM 5/01/03 “I've had my motorcyle license since I was 16. Rode up until I was about 24, then sold my bike to my brother. I was in 1 crash and that was because a guy slammed on his brakes in front of me in town. I sold the bike when I was living in Casper, WY. It just seemed that people either didn't see you, or they weren't looking for you. They were always cutting in front of you, or pulling out in front of you. But I still dream of owning a Harley...someday. Onf of those JJ choppers would be way awesome...but big $$$$'s.” 4:42:50 PM 5/01/03 “I owe less on my house...” 4:45:15 PM 5/01/03 “Me too less than $25,000. Which means I'm that much closer to owning one!!!!” 4:46:51 PM 5/01/03 “lol...” 4:48:12 PM 5/01/03 “Yeah guys, but how fast does your house go from 0-60?? I tried to straddle a house once...wasn't the same as throwing my leg over a Harley.” 4:53:24 PM 5/01/03 “Yah, but the annual insurance is probably less...” 4:57:12 PM 5/01/03 “I tried to ride a motorcycle once. Well, I have given up that dream. I can honestly say I DO NOT know how to ride a motorcycle. Man, I thought I hit the wall any moment. na, not for me. It's too embarrising to tell you the whole story so I shut up now.” 5:03:06 PM 5/01/03 “C'mon gemini.... you KNOW you'll feel better after relieving yourself of that whole awful story. You're among friends here. hehehehee.. did I convince her???! LOL” 8:40:20 PM 5/01/03 Yes Gemini!! “tell the story!!!” 9:40:49 PM 5/01/03 “I wrecked Packrat's motorcycle while trying to figure how to get out of 2nd gear. I was fine but the bike got a little dinted.” 9:48:24 PM 5/01/03 “so you have tried motorcycling, walkindude!! glad to see you weren't hurt!!” 9:52:44 PM 5/01/03 “"2000+ miles in just a few days is what getting a bike is all about." EEGADS MAN! Did you have crotch rocket crotch rot after that trip? How long before the feeling returned to your balls?” 10:34:20 PM 5/01/03 “a man, with balls, can't ride a crotch rocket. they're for women and eunuchs. i've got a nice corbin solo saddle, covered with alligator skin. it's got lots of nut room.” 4:10:53 PM 5/02/03
