    Yeah....you just had to remind me. That opening rocked my world and shredded my poor Stiletto. But, thankfully, I healed, and she's repaired and flies like brand new. I've even decided to hang onto her for a while longer. She keeps pleasently surprising me.

    I knew I should have photoshopped that before I sent it to you. Speaking of great pics, I finally got that pic of my exit from last years AOT boogie. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    It's only your "opinion" that it isn't. Honestly...what color is the sky in your world? For being only on 800-ish screens, and for it's genre, the movie turned out phenomenally great numbers and set records for its opening. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Something a bit more elliptical? Interesting, since IIRC, the Stiletto and the Spectre are based off of the same planform. Like others have said....why do you want to downsize? Why do you want an elliptical? If it's to start swooping, I've seen a Spectre go coast-to-coast on a standard swoop pond. Brigiette Liss used to compete Pro class in swooping on one. At your jump numbers, there are several great choices available today. Even your Spectre would be a great canopy to learn on. It's not the canopy, it's the pilot underneath it. Just because there are newer high-performance (Crossfire, Nitron, Etc...) canopies on the market, it doesn't mean that the Stiletto is any less of an unforgiving high-performance canopy. It's still just as much of a handfull today as it was when it was introduced. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    [Keanu voice] Whoa! [/Keanu voice] The Complex Rock Tour Live by the Blue Man Group. I got turned onto this DVD when Perry was playing a few minutes of it at the Brazos Boogie. The few minutes I saw were enough to make me have to own it. I've watched this DVD at least 8 times in the last week. It's got videos with duets by Dave Matthews and Gavin Rossdale. And the concert has guest vocalists Tracy Bonham and the uber-luscious Annette Strean from Venus Hum. *swoon* If you get a chance to pick it up, do so.

    Ok. Sportbike rider. Alright, joking asside, I'm not one of those true assholes that get all pissy about the kind of bikes or the kind of riders. I don't care if you're on a 125cc commutor bike, you're riding, that's what matters.

    which sylabal is the emphasis put on.....??? don't want to go around saying your name wrong... I'll bet Casie could drag that out to at least 14 syllables. Hell, she can make my first name sound like an 8 syllable word. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Heh, it's bad when I can see just the JM's foot and I know that it was probably Dave Johnson who was your instructor. Congrats on your first jump, that was a well told story! I did my student training at OSC and was there all the way through getting my instructor rating. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Where's Casie?

    Kris replied to RkyMtnHigh's topic in The Bonfire

    Casie's still around. We PM'd today. She's on the hunt for a new job and doesn't have a lot of computer access right now.

    Heh....I wish I'd seen this thread sooner. I'd have asked if you were using Cisco and told you about that wonderful loopback button. I still keep both an ethernet loopback plug and a T-1 plug in my tool bag just in case. AT&T is forever screwing up circuit installs and they're handy to have to jam into the smartjack on the wall so they can fix their mess. Also, at some of the installs I've done I've seen smartjacks with a loopback button built in as well. I'll be glad when they become more commonplace.

    Heh, yeah, I've seen those turtles. They're viscious. Just because lane-splitting is illegal here in OK doesn't mean it doesn't happen. But I pick and choose my battles carefully. My Gixxer isn't the narrowest of beasts. I did happen to see a biker grab a face full of taco bell last year though. He was lane splitting at about 30-ish though congestion and someone pitched a half-eaten burrito out the window without knowing the biker was coming. I felt bad for the guy, but at the same time, If I was laughing any harder I wouldn't have been able to drive. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Don't forget to check the fork oil/seals, and get that suspension setup adjusted to suit *you*. *but also wondering if cruisers have rebound and damper adjustments like sportbikes do...* Anyway, if it has them, set them. And get your hands on a service manual for it. They're invaluable. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    ?? huh? That phrase means what? I don't get it? It's in the same realm as 'asshat' and 'butt cheeto'. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    I'm more of a sportbike guy, but these should get you started.

    Hell, I'm in Oklahoma of all places and there are several restaurants here with unisex bathrooms. Of course, using the urinal for the first time at a great new sushi restaurant was interesting when I didn't know there was such a thing, and a group of women came in. Then the lightbulb went on for the wierd restroom sign that I read (Humans) and I finished up with a smirk. I thought I was just in the right one because there was a urinal. Heh. So, no, doesn't really bother me either way. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Awww....honey. You know you're always welcome on my GSX-R. I just buy you salads because I like watching you eat them with tweezers.
