So the riders with custom rides (crap, am I the only one dumb enough to tear into a MC motor?) needed to check fuel economy and range. Not having any fancy GPS equipment, I have no idea where all we rode... but we covered around 125 miles total.

After all was said and done, looks like my bike has a massive 87 mile range (not including the reserve), and gets an astounding 32 mpg! That's right, friends... There are non-hybrid cars that get better mileage than my bike! Now THAT's what I call American!! :0D

So I got the passenger pegs on the bike today, after having to drive all the way to Fayetteville to get a mounting kit for them. The good thing is that Jen really enjoyed it, so hopefully we can get a 2-up ride going some time.

Bad thing is that I now have a whole new list of things to buy... Removable backrest, an actual "comfortable" 2-up seat, and riding gear for the woman. I swear these things are money pits...

It'll be hot as hell, so how about a long ride to the mountains?

Managed to overspend on Ynit's gear again -- this time something I could have gone my entire WoW career and not known or cared about (at least for 7 more levels).

Spent some of them Emblem things on a new shield and a new Libram, and then of course had to spend too much gold getting the shield enchanted.

Thomas lost his man-parts and couldn't make it, unfortunately.

From OME/MC BBQ run 6/12

I'm trying to get the hang of writing macros within the Grid/Clique environment, specifically to announce when I'm doing something important or stupid. Does anyone feel like logging in and forming a party purely to be my guinea pig while I try to debug them? I'd like to get Ynit's announcements done and working before next TN.

The goal/reward for success at the new job:

748R (deeper lower engine case, better stock internals, better stock suspension)
LSL Superbike Bars
Slipper Clutch
Daytona Blue w/3M reflective white accents and decals(for cool and safety in that order)
Quick Change Axles (2 minute wheel swaps for weather conditions)

I've been away from riding for way too long. I hope to have her by start of next riding season.748R in Daytona Blue

We have some make-up ass kicking to do. Knock out a couple more outland heroics then get moving on Northrend.

I don't really think the random assholes I have network ties on FB will understand or appreciate this discussion, so I'd rather comment here.

Paul's comment:

It's amazing that what appears to be a strictly-curtailed and limited Federal Government as envisioned by the Founding Fathers (and as supported by Strict-Constitutionalist Anti-Government Right-Wing Nutjobs like me) is what we ended up with when the "big government" side won. Discuss in comments how history might have gone differently had the Anti-federalists won.

Witty retort:
