I just love any chance to talk to strangers...guess I got that from my dad. Being unemployed I look for pretty much anyone staring at my bike and try not to rant on too much, I know I do that alot. I had a dad and his son go real slow around me yesterday...the boy had to be about 7 or 8 had the biggest grin on his face.

Ever had anyone tell you that you ought to get a patent so you could make money selling them? I have had three different people say that. When you tell them its not an origional idea and theres lots of them across the country you get the blank look.

LOL Elmo! I rode a walmart Point Beach with a Dax 70cc to swap meet. A truly fine Gentleman and WWII vet could just not accept that she was less then 2 yrs old and components made in China. He is a really neat guy and I had to stop explaining b4 looking or being disrespectful. But was funny.

Elmo, your right. awesome ice breakers and incredible conversation always ensue. I kinda crimps when folks say they wanna expand our crazy. I personally want to keep it quiet, lol.

As a kid, my math teacher asked us to calculate how old we would be in the yr 2000. I was shocked but soon relaxed as no one could live that long. I am 45 (had to ask Carol. I love my life)((She tells me when I have a bday and am old-er)

Here is a couple pics from my helmet cam. The lady gave me a thumbs up and the guy on the bike gave me a nice wave and shouted "Thats Cool!"

I have many more just been slacking. I know I have one with a spandex rider flipping me off somewhere in my vast number of videos. A guy walking some dogs that just stopped in his tracks and starred with the biggest smile I have ever seen. A lady in a suv that I thought was trying to run me off the road but all she wanted to say was how cool my bike is.

I am living in a neighborhood where a lot of bums hang out at the convenience stores. I think they live in little hooches under the crosstown freeway here in Tampa. First they want to talk about the bike. Then they want a cigarette and my change. Then they want to know how much money I want for the bike! Then I lecture them about times being tough while lighting a cigarette. Ha! brnot Brvnkaerv

I just have to take pictures of families, I tell everyone it is my job. I work at the Pike in Long Beach, so a lot of the people are on holiday and you always see one of the parents taking the picture, so I always offer to take the pic of all of them. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas. Have fun, Ill add a link to my work. My shop is in the lower right hand corner.

I had a real nice "look" while riding near the light rail tracks here in San Jose. I was tooling along when I looked to my right only to notice the light rail train was going exactly the same speed as me. I looked into the cab where the driver sits and he was staring right at me and my bike with this huge grin on his face. We exchanged thumbs up and he turned and I went straight. It was pretty cool to think he paced me with an entire train to get a good look. Awesome.

Testing out a new 4 smoker and ridding around down town Hartford. Was a blast! Could do what traffic was doing speed wise and fun to watch all the folks waiting for their bus. Went down this service road to thank and show John at Granger's my new bike. I have used many hrs of this man's life trying to find this an that. On the way, a few thumbs up and in the store, (I bring my bikes in) Was cool. 3 folks wanted to buy one.

The guys at work went nutz and want franchises, lol. First day I commuted to work, when I came back, some one put a teddy bear on my MB. Cracked me up.

I just bought a 4 stroke and have been riding it for about 2 weeks now, i am really thinking of converting my 2 stroke chopper to a 4 stroke /w shiftkit.

I have the HS 4G 4STROKE KIT

Also, yesterday i was riding with my buddy, I see these 2 motorcycle cops weaving all over the road, doing the things the give MC'ers a bad name. :) Well since i was right there, i decided to follow them real close for like a mile, we all were weaving in and out of lanes, running redlights and everything. As we are weaving i stop to let one pass, he tells me to go ahead, we blow through another redlight toghether. and he is telling me how much he likes my bike and everything. made me feel great!! BTW the 4 stroke is still breaking in, but the kicker was i was able to keep up with the MC cops, accelleration and cruisng speed. granted thsi is in the middle on the city so we were do no faster than 30 - 35mph. :-D

It's the same way down here in Florida. All the cops I've encountered simply love my bikes.I've even been pulled just so the cop could talk to me about it. One even got my phone # so I can build one for him.These bikes are just da*n cool ! :)
