today my machine has proven that it is worthy of me riding it. i was taking a cruise through the neighborhood on my 50cc motor bike, just taking it easy, giving it half throttle at best, when some serious biker dude, streamlined helmet and all blows past me pedaling furiously, so it gave it more gas and beat the guy to next stop light while he rode past without stopping. i was able able to catch up to him and pace him with ease even though i stopped at each stop sign and he didn't. still needs more work though.

Here's a picture of my GANG! We're invading the Golden Nugget in Pine River, WI...one of the coolest saloons around. We like lining up our MB's along side all the $$$ Harleys at the bar, and seeing "the look" on the Harley owner's faces when people come in asking who owns the cool bikes out front. Of course, that's us!

I am a teenager living in the NW, I know hippies, I am one, and I know snobby teenagers, not many here on the Island. But my soccer team is pretty sure I am in need of a better hobby than things with small gas engines, the RC nitro truck I had was a failure, hopefully this works out better, maybe even getting some chics.

Howdy Alfonzo. Great to meet you. Always good to listen to the advise of buds and folks who care about you. Only you can decide the best hobby for you though. I am willing to bet you learned a whole lot from your "RC nitro truck failure" Never a waste. Edison told a reporter he was not saddened by 700 failed attempts to make a lite bulb, "now I know 700 ways how not to do it"

Chicks digg the creative types. Build some thing cool

On the 2 stroke, ridding past a park. Dad has his back to the road and Mom and 5 or 6 yr old boy facing it, all sitting in the grass. I ride past. Kid leaps to his feet about back handing his Mom's arm to death with his left and pointing at me with his right. Man, I love that look.

Picture this…beautiful day, 80 degrees, late afternoon, 4 lane road, 30 mph speed limit, hardly any traffic. I’m riding along with a big stupid grin. Out of nowhere booms a wolf whistle so loud that I jump. Two very attractive soccer moms are pacing me in their minivan smiling, giggling and waving. It made this old fat guy laugh. Had to floss dead bugs out of my teeth that night. :D

BLARG!

Much as I love it, It's driving me a lil insane - every morning on my ride to work I stop at the local store for a cupa joe and a pack o'smokes. This is usually a 5 minute stop yet almost every time I go back outside there's at least one person standing next to my bike with "that look"...

aaand my 5min pitstop turns into a 10, 15.... mebbe longer... depends

So at this point I'm printing up handouts, lil "Welcome to the World of Motorized Bicycles" propaganda leaflets as not to lose my job lol It's a wonderful feeling to have someone so interested in my hobby, the complements are great and I don't wish to be rude or dissuade someone just cause I'm in a hurry - but save me jeebus I'm gonna be late for work o_O

Although it's a handy excuse I've used before when for some reason I just can't make that last turn into the parking lot where I work, zooming off for another mile or so on my bike...

"Yeah sorry boss, there was a gang o'kids holding me hostage again... whadda gonna do?"

sorta, OT but then again, way off (LOL I know "me?, OT WUT?") But way hot cougar in a way hot Vet. I did a double take. Got a very appreciative smile. Seems I look tall and good looking in an aging ford station wagon.

I had blocks on the peddles.
