Ahhh...I see you've never met Daizey, eeneR, VanillaSkyGirl, or Ladyskydiver..... *changing my name and moving to Antartica now* Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Sorry to hear about that...losing data sucks. *hugging my RAID-5* Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Leave it to me to be a threadkiller. Thanks though, Frenchy...it was several years ago though. I've since moved on.

Engaged for 2 years....there was nothing to learn, as she passed away. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Yeah, it's the "out to prove something" "I'm more macho than you" people that annoy me. I give the same level of safety to all of my students, but a student who is respectful will get the bonus package which includes me doing everything I can to calm, ready, and reassure them before it's their turn. I get what Superman is saying, to a low # jumper, having someone else going on about the end of the world is awfully disconcerting, especially when that student is possibly trying to gather their nerves and readying for their next jump. It's discourteous. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Nah, those "macho" armageddon guys don't bother me....I love being their instructor and seeing the look on their face when I open that door for the first time. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Well, duh! I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to get blackmail material of such a high quality! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

My hotel reservations and my time off for Rantoul are both taken care of. Now it's just the few months of waiting... Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Damn you're smart. You should be a rocket scientist or something. Oh...wait....I forgot, you are! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Ditto...welcome back. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

No doubt...the boy almost tore all the way through to the other side. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Easy...the lanyard can break, the clip can break, the ring on the riser could come off, or you can snag it on something and undo it. Nothing is infallible. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Deal! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

You're the best wife ever, blondie! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

They're both working for me. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Right now, I prefer the kind of kids that have 4 legs. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Awesome! That's a great area. eenR took me there to go eat and look around when I visited last year and there's definitely tons to do around there. Add me to that list of people who may use you as a crash pad sometime. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I say we take turns spanking her. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

yeah, i just pulled it out of the dryer and reattached it thank God for twist ties, i had to cut my slinks to get it off Umm...pulled it out of the dry what? Please tell me you didn't put your main in a dryer! Slinks are easy to remove if you knead them a bit first....but please, oh please tell me you didn't put your main in a hot dryer! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Oh...definitely. I'll buy a couple to help decorate the DZ.com tent. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Sorry, maybe I just have enough time in sport now, but I'll always take a good rumble in the hay over a jump. But, sex after a really great jump is quite nice as well. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Yes, my mind does work in odd and disturbed ways. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

You are soooo not right! I'm trying to convince my new neighbors that we're classy people and you bring out the flamingo's?! Sigh....can I buy them in bulk? And, Rev, you're more than welcome to join us, compadre! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Well, there's a whole host of other little things as well... Have you been checking the tension on your chain and cleaning and lubing it at the proper intervals (I do mine about every 500 miles)? Checking the sprockets for wear when looking at the chain? Checking oil and coolant levels? Changing the oil every 1000 miles and the filter every 2000? Checking the throttle, clutch, and break cables for wear/fraying and adjusting the play? Checking the inside of the gas tank for rust & sediment? Changing the airbox and fuel filter? That's just the things I could think of off the top of my head, and I usually go over those when I change the oil, except for the chain which I checked every couple of weekends. Bikes, especially sport bikes, are very maintenance intensive machines by their very nature. If you're going to have something that high-performance in so little a package it's a given. Here's the part where I repeat my suggestion that you shell out the money to get the service manual for your bike. They're really handy to have and cover all of the maintenance in extreme depth, along with other troubleshooting and repair info. It's basically a Chilton's manual for the bike, but you'll get it directly from Kawasaki and it's specific to your Ninja. Good bikes though. My first sport bike was an 85' Ninja ZX-6.

You can't put something in front of a guy and tell him not to open it!!! That's just wrong! Oh, and by the way... Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
