TAN #29 The case of the disappearing TAN (Page 56)

That's why I wear a helmet.....

Yeah, stats...  What do they REALLY say?  That my odds are more likely to die on a motorcyle than of a heart attack while running.  So?

Stats tell me that I will die in a car more likely than a plane.  But I drive.  Just because something is "more likely" to happen, doesn't mean that it will.

I'm more likely to die riding my MTN bike that sitting on the couch....  So.

There is risk in just about everything we do in life.  Some more than others.  I could drown while swimming, riding a tri bike, ski diving, kayaking, skiing, snowboarding.  I'm as carefull as I can be doing all of these things - as well as riding my motorcycle.

It's my choice to take the risk for the enjoyment, just like anything else in life.  That's it.

I LOVE that movie.  Love love love.

Dust to Glory is another awesome one.  About the Baja 1000.

That sounds like a good idea - later.

I don't like the belt driven, really loud Harley's either, but the thing that bothers me is the kid in the SUV with the bass speakers that are so loud that it makes my car vibrate and gives me a concussion headache.  Seriously, how loud is it in that vehicle.  That's just stupid.

Since I ride, I guess I am a little more tolerant.  I have an aftermarke exhaust as well, so it's a little louder than the stock, but not bad at all.  I just think sportbikes are quiter in general than the big V-twins with short pipes and no muffler.

What SCREAMS "look at me" is when leaving a bar I frequent, harley riders need to sit on the bike in front of the patio and rev the bike over and over - they just look at the patio to see who is looking at them, and then scream off.  I'm sorry, in the desert, the bike almost ALWAYS stays warm enough to just start up and idle for maybe a minute and then you can just pull away calmly....

ALSO, if you bike is tuned correctly, you don't need to rev it up and down at every freak'n intersection.  To me that's just showoff, childish, wastes gas, isn't as "green" - well, stupid IMO.

But it's STILL cool (at least in their mind).

With 3 kids in tow, it ain't happenin' here.

I have been disapointed over the last couple years.  Everything that looks promising, is usually a bust.  I even saw most of last years Best Picture nominations and really didn't like all but one/two of them.

Zonhan is good.  Just know what you are getting into - it's Adam Sandler for pete's sake.  but it WAS funny.

Into the movie house, right?

Drive by Hi!

Bye.

We always have those "What If...?" moments.
