This is laughable and I'm not talking about the Army's acceptance of a kid with autism. Ever been in the military yourself? Do you even realize the steps a recruit must go through before he or she can be accepted? Ever heard of MEPPS? Do you honestly believe that our recruiters are the only trusted source of medical history concerning recruits? Don't you think that if the kid's autism is a problem, it will present itself during training? Think the kid's drill instructors will overlook the fact he can't complete the training curriculum if there is a problem? I think you are flying off the handle. Thanks for the laugh. www.FourWheelerHB.com

No tickets for 8 years. Then I bought a crotch rocket. Was on the 405 north of Santa Barbara and forgot about a particular spot the CHP likes to hide in. Estimated speed when I went by was probably 115 mph. He gave me 85 in a 65 most likely because he was amused. He had a shit eating grin for some reason. He says to me....if you woulda ran I woulda....hehe forgot the rest. 4 months later I got clocked doing 105 mph by a CHP cop on a harley. Heh it took him 15 miles to catch me. I wasn't running, I was just having fun and I never saw him til it was too late. I don't think he believed me . Turned out I had forgotten about the first ticket and not only was I driving wrecklessly, my license was suspended. The judge gave me the chance to get my license back and consequently, once I got my license back, the charges were dropped on the wreckless driving and failure to appear . Ended up with a a $500 fine and 10 days community service. So 2 tickets in 3 years which is not bad considering that I hauled ass everywhere I went and took my motorcycle 99% of the time. But its not my fault really, I swear there is a ghost in that machine because it just will not slow down. Over the last year I haven't ridden much. Currently its in the shop for maintenance getting it ready for summer gas prices. Wish me luck. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Or a YZF600R, they're still sporty, but have a more relaxed riding position compared to the R6. I have a 2003 YZF600R. The only thing I don't like about it is its carborated. Not sure if the 2006's are. Main reason I didn't get an R6 is because it felt like a mini bike when riding it. And I'm not THAT big of a guy. lol at least not anymore. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Totally agree... too big... is bad bad bad I definately qualify there. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Well, there you go... You just proved my point about "baggage" having different meanings. The person that I quoted has already responded on this thread about what it meant to him. He didn't mention children. Yeah I'm in a bit of a quandry concerning children and single mothers. I personally don't want to have children. Yet the likelyhood of that happening seems very small. There is someone I am interested in pursuing a relationship with. She's smart, beautiful, skydives, and doesn't want children! Unfortunately, she won't come back to California. Perhaps one day if the stars allow it. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Yes, children can be a problem. www.FourWheelerHB.com

If those were my only options, I'd choose to be alone. Not an option. Always an option... You are no fun. www.FourWheelerHB.com

At a DZ I worked at we had a female A license grad that was horrified at her first kiss pass. At that point I saw good reason for never participating in that tradition. I have never received a kiss pass. I did have a couple ladies I was suppose to do a 3 way FF with do a count in the door and let me exit all by myself while laughing and waving from the door. I didn't find it funny. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I can't believe I didn't put this in to begin with..... 10. Honest. Although labeled #10....it definately is #1 or maybe #2 with female being #1. Hmmmm sounds like an interesting discussion.... Assuming you are straight and you could only choose 1, which would you prefer for a SO, a dishonest person of the opposite sex or an honest person of the same sex? www.FourWheelerHB.com

I agree with you there. We all have baggage of some sort or another. For me "baggage" is anything that would prevent a person from having a healthy, intimate, loving relationship with another person. An example.... someone who cannot trust their SO due to their own personal history even though their SO gave them absolutely no indication they are untrustworthy. www.FourWheelerHB.com

If we guess correctly, will you tell us? I guess 34. No. I'm a very private person over the internet. In person, I always speak honestly. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I'm sure everyone is already bored with this but hell why not?ill play... 1. yep 2. I wont give my age over the internet. 3. yep 4. Screw that. That shit is dangerous. 5. quitting is on the agenda **cough** 6. completely clean. 7. It takes a lot to make me angry. In the same respect it takes a lot for me to get excited and no im not meaning sexually you pervs. 8. If I was ever given a reason not to respect a girlfriend.....I cut away. Ok here's mine.... 1. Female 2. is an adult (mental age of around 30) 3. is kind hearted 4. has a sense of humor 5. respects that I do things that make me happy and does not try to crush my dreams. 6. Does not always have to be included or the center of attention. 7. Does not love me for my money. lol I dont have any but I can dream can't I? 8. Is not superficial and very down to earth. I find women that claim to be down to earth are very much the opposite. 9. And PLEASE....no baggage. I can go on and on but that looks like enough for now. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Well I would say that it had something to do with the effectiveness of knee high boots on sheep but like I said I can't talk about it. www.FourWheelerHB.com

10 years ago I went somewhere and did somethings that the US government forbids me to talk about. www.FourWheelerHB.com

interesting thread. I believe that I do not know if there is a god or not. I do believe in Buddha (yes I'm buddhist) and Jesus in the same way I believe in Einstein, Freud, Darwin, Davinci, Michelangelo, etc.... However, I do not believe in religion because it is largely driven by money and power IMO, both of which are essentially evil. Then how can I be buddhist you ask? My OWN personal buddhism is a practice, a way of life....not a religiion. At one time humans BELIEVED the earth was flat as well as the center of the universe. Were they stupid? No. The truth wasn't obvious so they did the best they could with the information and technology they had at the time. Belief does not make truth nor does truth make belief. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I was 18 years old and 6'1" 160 lbs when i had to do it. Not much difference in stature if you ask me. Also the DI's were pissed at me (seemed like they always were) so I had to do it with the biggest guy in our platoon easily weighing in at 260 lbs with gear. That being said I'm curious about the statment below www.FourWheelerHB.com

He couldn't? Do you have proof of that or are you making an assumption based on his stature? www.FourWheelerHB.com

The USMC uses that practice. At least they did while I was in. No I wasn't drafted. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Plain and simple, if a soldier cannot lift a 180 pound man with 70-80 pounds of gear over their shoulder, manage to grab both of their weapons, and run 100 yards then they should not be in combat.... regardless of sex. www.FourWheelerHB.com

There, fixed it for ya. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Hello, my name is Jason and I'm a smoker. You haters crack me up and remind of the pilots out there that hate skydivers because "its stupid to jump out of a perfectly good airplane." I personally won't smoke in a bar, eating establishment or even a smoke shop (place that sells tobacco etc. for those of you who don't smoke) regardless of the law. I don't mind going outside. Guess you could say I'm "outdoorsy"...heh. Of course I'm one of those very few courteous smokers out there. edited to add: oh yeah....when in vegas a few months ago, I smoked up a storm but only when in the casino. That place is a smokers paradise. Damn I love that city! www.FourWheelerHB.com

Agreed. He used the clerk as a shield and went into target fixated rapid fire endangering innocent bystanders. What a punter. www.FourWheelerHB.com
