Yeah I had a kid in his.....wait for it.......Hyundai Tiburon........talk smack about speed. So I humored him. It was over by midway through 2nd gear.
Gotta love these people....

Honestly there are people out there with no clue as to how fast a motorcycle accelerates....even big tour bikes or cruisers...
They get a big surprise when they see the tail light disappear into the distance...
Years ago when I was young and fearless one of my guys had a Camaro that he thought was fast.....at the time one of my bikes was an FZR1K that I ran him on......this guy soon learned not to mess with a motorcycle...I probably could have took him with the RD400 Daytona I had as well but figured overkill was the best way to send a clear message.......I also had my twin GSXRs at that time too....so he was going to get trounced one way or another....
We had a couple inches of snow yesterday and it was surprising (not really) at how many people didn't even bother to clear their windows before driving....and not driving slow on snow covered roads either......
I watched them drive by with a tiny windshield wiper hole on their windshield to see out of.......they would probably get into a crash and wonder why......
......jackasses.......

The word "Christmas" | Polls
Here's the holiday calendar posted at my local Best Buy. They were closed on November 23, Thanksgiving and even acknowledged it by labeling the calendar with the word "Thanksgiving". And they are closed on December 25. But, what day is that? You wouldn't know by looking at the Best Buy calendar...
Merry Christmas to everybody & always remember that Jesus loves YOU •
We got around 8-10 inches of snow last night and it was no surprise that people didn't clear off their vehicles before driving away...
One car went by and only had a small hole cleared off the windshield to see out of, the rest of the vehicle was completely covered including the lights....it was dark then and I don't know how the driver saw anything....
Then later I was clearing snow at one of the senior lady's home we take care of and watched a younger lady who was driving down the street with both hands on her phone and looking down at it instead of the road...her van wandered to the left and into the snowbank....he got frightened and I saw her drop her phone and grab the steering wheel...
Of course I laughed and gave her the thumbs up.....she fished around for her phone, picked it up and while she was in the snowbank, went back to texting.....
What a unique human being...

We had a historic snow event here last week. 9.5". And of course no removal equipment. So it was a messy few days. It started Monday. By Fri it was all gone. But it paralyzed everything. Everything was closed just to keep things safe. As a result, all perishable food shipments got stuck on impassable roads. And shelves are still empty. The ironic part is somehow people feel they better stock up toilet paper of all things. Cleaned out the stores if it.
I guess you could say, it scared they chyt out of them.
Today it's 72 and back to normal temps.
Still have empty shelves.
My brother said last week they had a snowfall of 4 feet within 36 hrs........
He said there were abandoned vehicles littering the streets as people got hopelessly stuck and left them...
The plows were pulled off the roads because visibility was zero at times.....
He said it's snowing this week as well....he sent me a picture of the snow touching the bottom of a stop sign...
I said that reminds me of the snowfalls we had when we were kids.....

Last Thursday Wife and I went out for Chinese food
there is a Regular at this bar that we kind of know
he is always bragging about his Maserati SUV and how fast it is
I overheard the conversation and couldn't help but chuckle
He saw me and asked why I thought it was funny
I explained what I ride and he proceeded to tell me from a roll he would beat me bad
Man I wish it wasn't winter with a apart motorcycle HAHAHAHA

......they just don't know...that's the sad part......
I had a guy I knew for a long time tell me just how fast his modified V-Rod was...he found out the hard way that it was no where near the level of my old, fat Hayabusa....

It just doesn't stop | In the News
I can't get over how many headlines coming from the US involving shootings lately....the latest where they thwarted perhaps another school shooting.. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/student-fires-at-officers-at-tennessee-school-is-killed/ar-BB1fzYlf?ocid=msedgntp
...........a real beacon to humanity.......
The other night we received some snow and I was out talking to a neighbor....we watched another neighbor using his snowblower which had a shield on it...these (hoods) shields are notorious for frosting up on the inside making it so you can't see anything...
His must have frosted up because he started blowing his front lawn............and must have realized it because he stepped out from behind the shield looking and scratching his head.....

My older brother was over helping out one of his friends with all the snow they got recently and noticed the tip of a windshield sticking out of the snow behind the carport....
He asked what that was, and his friend said it is his son's bike but somehow, sometime the cover must have come off it.
So my brother shoveled the bike out-he said it is a new Kawasaki 1000 Ninja, a green one......he found the cover and covered it up again....he said the blowing snow packed into the openings of the fairings and it was hard packed in there....
The friends' son works up north in the mines and works 21 days in and 14 days out....
