Yep....I can guarantee that you aren't the only one living there..... Most of the Insane Asylumnmmmmmnnn group drift in and out of that place on a regular basis.

I could name names, but it might hurt their feelings......go figure

I must be getting old.... What? Why would you do that? Official geezerdom has arrived.... so sad. Inside every old person is someone saying: 'what the f7&k happened'?

Looks like fun, but I think I like that little remote control car better

Wow, amazing control. That RX7 was sporting Corvette injector covers, but only 375 hp? Seems a little week for an LS1.

I did some of that stuff one day during a sudden cloudburst in Vegas. I was riding during the rain when a strong wind came from my right and blew the bike three lanes left across the roadway. I was only going 20 MPH and both wheels lost traction and the bike slid over about 25 feet leaving me helpless and with a set of racing stripes in my BVD's. I stopped the bike and pulled over to the side and waited a few minutes until the oil and stuff was washed away and when the wind slowed down I drove the remaining 3 blocks home and put away the bike.

I have driven in strong winds and I compensate etc but in this case the whole bike was being driven by the wind across the oil slicked roadway and both tires lost traction and were useless. I am surprised that I did not dump the bike.
