Osp...
 

You my friend... can tell a fucking story!... :rockout:


don't know if I wanna take a trip and be in on your stories though... :lol:

Yes, very good read. And fellow Buell riders rule.

I concur. :lol:

I don't usually take the time to read the longer posts/blogs or even the Tigger type drama threads...just not what I'm here for...BUT after seeing this thread I took a gander at OSP's thread.

It's actually interesting...entertaining and funny as feck too. :dthumb:

just wait for the good parts, they are still to come

if you read ANYONES posts on here for entertainment... OSP's should be at the top... if he takes the time to write more than two sentences... you know it's gonna be either about hookers... or some crazy ass motorcycle adventure....



or both

Ok I'm in...:dvrofl:

:lol: define harmed?

Who reads? Can somebody call me and read it over the phone please!

Yeah, one compliment to OSP is that usually when I see threads with that much typing i'm like WTF? and don't even bother... but OSP's, and the rest of the blogs too, I read it all. Good job guys, keep up the entertainment :dthumb:

I'm not gonna lie...I rarely read word heavy posts. Most of the MF'ers on this forum have little to no grammer, spelling, and typing skills. But OSP has me hooked on his blog.

I agree with these assholes. I'm not easily entertained but OSP is doing a good job so far.

Yeah, all the blogs are doing a good job, I meant to start one, but I feel like my riding season has barely even begun :(

I'm not wordy enough or take enough pictures to make a blog. All of my posts would be like 3 sentences long, if that.

I enjoy reading all of the blogs. I think Nighthawk should make one though.

Well... none that can say anything at least...

Agreed.

I appreciate the kind words guys... I have actually not been especially impressed with my blog as of yet, but I'm taking my time with it so it doesn't totally suck. Every since 'Notes from a Biker' it's been really hard for me to formulate anything that I've felt real strong about... that was my Sistine Chapel.

Notes from a Biker was fucking money. I laughed my ass off multiple times.

Agree.

Damn OSP. I've got newfound respect for anybody that can keep me on the edge of my seat like that. Great story telling.

you've got stories you'll never forget, whats the play by play during the last good day of work you had.


oh, and welcome to team honda biznatch.

Truth.

I probably won't be Team Honda for long... Probably going to be Team Sell the Honda and get Motarded.

figured. shouldn't be tough getting rid of a parking lot bike in FL. Parking lot heaven.

Fuck that Honda.

Damn, that's gotta suck giving up your Buell... gonna get rid of that honda and get another one when you get back to FL?

Yeah no shit with how crappy the start of the season has been. Usually we're bitchin about all the rain but that hasn't been the case... its been fuckin cold...:panic:

damn bro... sorry about your buell... and to be honest... when I saw the pic of you on the 954... I was like... WTF? that doesn't seem right.

how much of a change was it getting used to the 1000cc I4 vs the 1200cc Vtwin?

Good shit, I lol'd multiple times.
Where the fuck are the pics of the honduh?

Were you aware that you didn't need to buy another bike to get home? I tried to get in touch to fly you home for maybe $100 or less with my flight benefits. :idk:

he didn't buy the bike to get home... he bought it to not end the trip. he knew he could get home and ship the bike... from what he told me... he bought it to not completely end the bike trip...

that's a hell of a thing to do btw...

Ahh gotcha, that's pretty cool to keep on for the sake of the trip.
Honestly it's nothing special, I've been working at the airport for so long all my friends work their too..so they all fly for free too. The 8 buddy passes I get a year get wasted more often than not, I can't give em away. :idk:

well hell... I know who to get in touch with come Sept. the AF only will fly me from Korea to Portland... I need to get from Portland to Fargo or Omaha... and then vice versa 20 some days later...

Coolio, pm me a couple weeks before you need to fly. We could honestly be completely out of business by then, no shit. I work for a delta subsidiary and we're currently losing money on every flight due to fuel prices and the weak dollar and things are only looking to get worse.

damn that sucks ass! good luck though... you got something lined up in case?

:lol: well I'll buy your bike from ya for a nice wool blanket... ;)

wtf is notes from a biker? google turned up shit. forum search turned up shit... :wtf:

Well I've been home since Memorial Day... and yes, I am still contemplating getting rid of the bike and getting a different one. The thing is, the Honda is pretty nice and has a ton of aftermarket shit, so it'd make a killer track weapon... Just not sure I can justify that...

Unreal. I am going to create a thread about it one of these days once my blog is caught up...

Pix will come once I get all the writing completed for the trip in my blog... There are like 250 pictures, so one thing at a time.

Exactly. I had two options:

1) Throw in the towel and fly home.
2) Buy a bike I didn't like, couldn't really afford, and complete the journey.

Honestly it boiled down to one thing... Drewpy. Sure I wanted to finish the trip, but that wasn't even the top thing running through my mind. My boy invites me on a cross country trip with his family. My bike fucks up, rains on his parade, and then I quit halfway through? Fuck that. I'll put myself in debt and buy this retard machine just to make it right.

Yeah dude, I would love to take you up on some of those buddy passes. I'd like to get home sometime this year... maybe this summer, maybe for the holidays. If you still are employed and not living under a bridge somewhere, I'll PM you if that's ok.

I thought I posted it on here... I usually post it on every motorcycle forum I join... perhaps since it was on TWF, I didn't thing to. :idk:

BRB

Notes from a biker...

:lmao: I never read that... wonder how I missed that? must have been while I was in the desert.

as far as buying the bike... in all seriousness... and it may not mean much to you... but you both gain A LOT of respect from me... when I get back to the states... I'll be sure to send you guys my #... I'll come and help ya out where ever ya are if ya need it. that is... if I'm not right there next to ya :lol:

I'd give that 954 a chance for a little while OSP. Watching super on his is like watching a laser knife cut through butter.... that thing is a smooth mofo.

Says the guy who just got the bike I want.

Yeah, but I don't think I could own JUST the sm... Its not one you would be riding say... across the country on :D

Yeah, I'll have to buy another bike of sorts for long hauls... Having two bikes wouldn't be the end of the world ya know... Especially if they were both machines I really liked...

Yeah, having the VTR for hypersport touring/twisties/pack mule and the SM for local/fun/twisties is like the best combination for me... throw in the CBR for a track weapon, and I think my stable is set for quite a while now.

VTR is an option I'd consider... I am just not a fan of the inline 4... I want power RIGHT NOW rather than big surge halfway up the revs.

Yeah, having an I4, a Twin, and a Single, I can tell you that I like the power delivery of the V Twin the best.

a good trackday to cut your teeth on is nashville.. at night, under the lights with the rest of us crazy fuckers, ya know the entire time i was never thinking anything other then god damn this is a good time, i really dont want it to end, even when my eyes wouldnt open, i was having a blast, stuck in a harley shop, shooting the shit, and just being out was worth it, and as we said, if everything went as planned how much fun is that? glad you had a good time once we got ya on a honda, let it grow you might love it

how far north did you guys go in Arkansas? I'm gonna be camping in Eureaka springs just north east of Fayettevile. there's a Motorcycle campground and Ive heard the roads around there are nice.

i want to eat some hummas with peta.

Damn. I just spent the last 45 minutes of my 3 hours being awake today reading 3 or 4 of OSP's posts and it was completely worth it.

Blog Update
 

I'm not slackin', I promise... I just have a wireless keyboard that likes to lose connection every 20 seconds... sometimes it'll work for an hour, other times it craps out every other letter... for like a minute at a time. They are sending me a new one... Pending it's failure, I will be updating the blog... Otherwise it's just too frustrating fucking with this keyboard.

check the batteries... and switch USB ports... happens to me every once in a while... it's usually one or the other.

Brand new batteries... fuckin' thing started shitting on me right out of the box... This is the second fucking keyboard/mouse combo I've got from them... RMA'ed them, got the replacement, mouse fine... keyboard = the suck. Gyration FTL... 2 year warranty FTW.

huh... intresting... Gyration the company? sucks

Yeah... so far their customer service has at least been good...

The keyboard calmed down long enough for me to finish the trip recap... I will be adding a very thorough breakdown of the money I spent and make an attempt to map out everything along the way...

Osp

Fail.

FUCKING outstanding trip recap bro...


can't wait to see the pics.

lol you cant just put OSP, bcuz the forum wont let u make an all cap post

:lmao: love the new smilie

I have to organize them... I'll try to wrap everything up this weekend... although I still have pics on a memory card I need to get off somehow... my card reader doesn't read the HD cards...

The new smilie is bullshit and will get so annoying that hopefully someone will change it.

stunned clap ftw

You mean this one?

OSP OSP OSP OSP

Great story man.


NOT including the new bike...how much money do you think it cost you door to door.

Friggin hilarious. I only logged into browse for a sec when I happened on your blog. I swear I was sucked in and didn't want to stop reading. When techs walked in my office which interrupted my reading time, I seriously wanted to throw my hot coffee on their crotch. Kudos, OSP, for you great adventure, for your determination to see it through, for your entertaining blog, and for your new lease on life.

Mad props.

:lol: that shit happened to me too... earlier when I was reading his blog people kept interrupting me... I was like... SHUT THE FUCK UP... I'll deal with you in a minute... :lol:

I'm glad I could be a detriment to your productivity at work. :D

As my productivity at work is low to begin with, you did not have a negative effect on mine.

Slackass.

You guys looked pretty good on that 1125... can it be the next twin??

You guys don't think the 1125's upper is rediculously misporportionate (sp-I don't even know if that's a word) to the rest of the bike?

It is. and I'm sure it's a hindrance on the track for top speed and acceleration. But it was designed as a rider friendly street bike first and foremost. and that big ass fairing is NICE on the highway.

Probably not... I read in Cycle World or Motorcyclist this month that Buell plans to do with the 1125, what they did with the Firebolt. Start with one, then build others based off the same basic design. A Lightning-esque version would be extremely tempting if it looked right...

Disproportionate.

Yes, it's ginormous. When sitting on the bike though, it just feels like it's right. Plus, I'm a wide motherfucker, that'd fit me well.

I've heard both sides on that one. Many versions, or just the "track" version... only time will tell.

And yes... it would.

Ok so Photofucket STILL won't load... I was totally planning on finishing the trip blog tonight and bust out some shit on Chewy... "Connecting"... "This page cannot be displayed"... EVERY time I go to pull it up...

bitch slap that ho :ps:
