blah. that's about it, really. i've been looking at lots of motorcycles online lately, so that should make it semi-on-topic, right?

Let's see I went out and bought a new textile jacket. It's a Fieldsheer Tourtemp. It's very nice and the zip-out lining is also a jacket. I took the Connie out for a ride. There was construction on all of my favorite roads. :cry: Then I went to work.

I almost forgot, I finished the single player for COD World at War. Now I'm killin' zombies.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Glad to hear she alright, treat her good...

I'm guessing that the bike is mostly just cosmetic damage???

Looks to be. Smashed in the bottom Jardine exhaust pipe and ripped all the crome off, smashed the highway bar and ripped all the crome off, snapped the windshield in 2 pieces (cost me $10 for the windshield so no big loss there), and the rear peg got scratched. but since it was quite dark thats all I could see for sure.

After work I rode to the garden shop. I bought a lot of bulbs and plant food ..... they fit nicely into my Tourmaster sissy bar bag. :)

I also gave Beavis or Butthead a less than polite gesture when he pulled up beside me and started yapping at me because I waved at him to keep his distance. :roll:

It was rush hour, after all....bumper to bumper traffic...where the heck did he figure on going so fast? :dunno:
I have a right to not tailgate and also to not be tailgated.

glad to hear it wasn't any worse than minor inconvenience, Ofblong. definitely could have been much worse. also glad to hear it doesn't look like any serious damage to the bike.

today i got a new tattoo. it's pretty BA.
