Re: New Biker- 6' tall female- what bike to get?

I'm a 6' tall female, I'm not muscular and I'm very new to biking. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on a traditional bike to purchase- especially a used one as money is an object! Thanks in advance! ---------------------------------------------------------- If you're tall, you don't n...

Re: Battery/wiring question

I have an 86 Suzuki Intruder. Where does the battery negative lead cable go to from the negative post? And is this cable hard to change? I have a short in this cable and wondering if I can change it out myself. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If yo...

...you sold the CBR400RR.... :ohmy: Nice pics 8) ----------------------------------------------------- Yeah, unfortunately I did. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I was getting ready to transfer, but didn't know where. I still had the VFR and CRF, so figured I wouldn't miss the CBR. A good f...

Re: Guess what I had for supper on Saturday night?

Also, now I have to promise to take her to a seafood restaurant immediately upon landing in the States next time so she can have one of those things! If you're in Kuwait City and not out at Arifjan or somewhere, the restaurant in a dhow behind the SAS Radisson on the waterfront puts on a mighty fin...

Re: Riding in the Rain and Dark

The worst riding conditions make the best riders. And that's when I stopped reading this post. That statement just reeks of bullshit. I think the sentence is incomplete. It should have read "The worst riding conditions make the best riders evaluate the risks and decide to seek shelter until it...

Welcome

Welcome aboard. Sorry to hear about your scooter... Wow...$3K, that's a lot of damage! I had to look up Fulton County....I didn't know where it was. Turns out it is only about 60 miles (unless I mis-measured) from where I grew up in Clinton. Anyway...I'm a newby here also, but it sure seems like the...

Weather

Hi Always wondered what Kuwait was like- having worked for a company that supplied all the OHP's there after the early 90's. I now work for a Qatar/Exxon company in the UK and we enjoy similar weather. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x245/aw1958/AVI_0003001_0001.jpg Keep up the photos. Ade What'...

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. I couldn't imagine living in a place as hot as Kuwait. I enjoyed seeing it though. I did not know the cities were so large. If you want to see lots of pictures and read stories, you will find them in the members' blogs. Here is mine. http://www.totalmotor...

Re: Guess what I had for supper on Saturday night?

What do you do with the leftovers....lobster thermador or something? Not sure what lobster thermador is, but I was told that the remaining lobsters were to be made into home made McLobster sandwiches and was assured that they would not go to waste. BTW, a McLobster sandwich is an actual item in McD...

Re: Photography

I have to say that this is about the only way I've seen Thunderbird look decent. I grew up around Norman and live for about 8 years in Norman before I moved down here. Spent a lot of time at Dirtybird. Great shot, although I'd suggest doing a little photoshopping to level that horizon a little more...
