Ohh, now you bring in the safety issue!

Went and test rode a Harley Street Glide today. (FXHS) I am now forced to eat years worth of humble pie. It was a very nice machine to ride. Still thought it was a bit loud for my tastes, and I had double vision at stoplights because of the vibration, but rode really nicely, had plenty of power, and had good city behavior. Still won't buy one, but they aren't bad bikes at all.

Also solved a bike theft today. Saw a silver Ninja sitting on the side of the road with two people walking away from it. Asked if it was theirs. "Kinda". "Want some help? I'm a bike mechanic." "No it's fine, we're gonna walk to this corner over here (Pointing in opposite direction of where the bike is facing.)"
Got really suspicious when he was checking out the contents of my car, so I called the cops when I left them, and just got a call back, it was stolen 3 days ago. Cops are on the lookout for the people I described.

Nice job... I usually only stop if I know the people. I guess its because I work on equipment all friggen day and dont want to work on it when I get home. Kind of why I took my van to a shop to have the head gaskets replaced. I could have done it myself but I didnt want to spend another 10 hours (book says 15 but they are ALWAYS wrong) doing it myself.

Still working off my suspension from the force/ forensics unit... an internship that failed because I was suspended from the college until I got my "anti-social" tendencies under control.

How is it my fault that I refuse to partner up with incompetent idiots in a lab? This then prompted them to psych eval me. I tell them that I initiate in making friends and spending time with them but the "friends" turn around and not include me in anything. Same goes for when I make new friends, always a repeat of bull****. the "Dr." tells me I didn't try to make friends leading me to tell her to go get her med degree from a real school as she isn't good in listening.

Now that I'm a danger to myself and unstable towards others I need to show that I've taken steps to improve my situation before I can return.

I'm not anti-social dammit, people I put my trust in don't socialize with me. Psych majors should be lynched, they just made me one hella bitter and angry.

/rant whew that felt good to get off my chest while spending another weekend by myself.

That sounds like what happened with my sister-in-law during her time in college to get her PA degree. 1 professor didnt like her so he paid one of the places she went to for her internship to fail her. So she had to take another semester of college cause if it. pretty gay that things like this happen.

Anyways I worked all weekend.... I have 2 weekends off this month...

Today I went to the Ride In/Breakfast in Cassoday KS. I took a lot of pictures but I'm too tired to post them. Look here if you want to see them.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Rode up with my friend to an open house at a Triumph/Moto Guzzi/Vespa dealer. They had free food and a live band. We then blitzed all the great back roads all afternoon. :mrgreen:
I came home and finished up my final term paper for my American Revolution class.
