Whew!!! I thought from the title you had just wheelied into a literbike!:zowned:

Nice Ebbs!

I'm contemplating Riding to work, its 55 right now but its suppossed to drop to the High thirtys by the time I'm done work...

:lol: not quite

Let's see it! Bring it to Memphis March 28th for lunch!

Ride to Lunch March 28th!

I'd love to... But I start my new job tomorrow

What, you don't get weekends off? :lol:

You're 110 miles closer to Memphis than me! You gotta eat lunch right? :whistle:

ur almost up to jared

that was me, without the wheelie, last year. I took the mofo's front fairing as my trophy.

This aint the Chronicles of Riddick Trip! You can't keep what you kill!!!

This should be a great summer...I have to get a fix on Ebbs so I can meet him and some of the others in Memphis or Ms. Sum'ere. Now that he is close we should have time to start some trouble!!!:whistle:

Trouble? :D


1000 miles in 5 days is like a couple hundred miles a day. Not bad for a week of ownership. And still had time to hang out with friends since you got back. :dthumb:

So smiley, you are headed to memphis? We might have to meet up for the ride down. It gets boring by yourself I think.

We logged 175 miles on the ride yesterday...not bad for a Sunday...even accounting for the late start!

Awesome. And good idea on starting work tomorrow Ebbs, blues are teh suxors.

I won't leave you out T! BTW, you ever ride with any of the MO ZX10 forum guys? Next time they are coming into Harrison I will toss you a line...

I mostly hang out with the swmosportbikes group. Tons of riders here in springfield. The fairly common route is supposed to be 125-7-123 loop. Still haven't gotten to ride much since I got here, but I got the bike back this weekend and hope to do much better this spring.

I can't wait for winter to be over so I can go back to doing 1000+ miles in a week :(

:lol: only 147k to go!

Yeah we'll hook up for sure this summer... you interested in maybe hitting up a track day?

oh yeah... none of the days were all day rides... even the 350 miles running to biloxi and back to ft walton FL got me home before Rae or Jason

I am... but I have training in San Antonio the first two weeks of April... so that day I'll be in transit to SA. I'm hope'n to meet up with a few of ya'll when I'm there... I'll find out more in the coming week.

:lol: no shit! good to meet ya today bro... sorry about the Orange Poweraid... it's my test on who can ride with me :lol:

well this week I was off so I don't know that I'll be doing many 1k weeks in the future... but I'm shoot'n for 30k this year

I spend most weekends in Austin, and that's only an hour north of San Antonio. Definitely let us know when you're there! Maybe we can meet up for lunch or something!

What he said! :dthumb: I'll be in town the first weekend of April, but then I fly to Honolulu for two weeks of training at Ft. Shafter.

cool cool.. I'll send ya my number so we I can connect with ya guys when I'm down there... though Archren... it may be tough... may have to do it the weekend prior to me starting... as the middle weekend is the weekend of my baby bro's graduation from basic... so I'll be hang'n with the fam...


we'll work something out though:rockout:

Damn... last weekend in March (28-30) I'll be in Cali to spread my dad's ashes, so I won't be able to make it down then. You and Tracy can always hang out, though. Y'all can go hit up the Riverwalk. :lol:

Sweetie, I have to start checking the calendar on my phone before I open my mouth. You have entirely too many weekends booked. :panic:

ETA: March 28th I was gonna go to Memphis to get my state line picture there! :lol:

This is true. :lol: You really had no idea what you were getting into being engaged to a military girl. :whistle:

D'oh! See, I can't keep track of anything anymore. I'll just stop now. :lol:

:lol: it's all good... we'll see what we can do... I'm not sure what's instore for me at lackland... could be a 9-5 training :idk: could be a water down version of basic...

Fuck you, ebbs.

Dude, you're Air Force, do you ever have to work after 5?














:nee:

ok ms weekend warrior :lol:



actually with my new job I'm hear'n I'll be in for long days... like 12-16... and we work weekend schedules too... but who knows...


but then again... it's not hard work... just yell'n at students... :lol:

thank you... you're too kind

Glad to help, buddy.

i definitely have the weather, but i just wish i had the time...

Weekend warrior who's been on active duty for 2 years tyvm.. And I don't get cush 6 month deployments.. ;)

Just razzing ya.. Believe me I'm grateful for you guys for when we need to call in an air strike. Been woken up by 500 and 1k lb bombs, but was happy to know that was aimed at the enemy, :lol:

Lol I know... Trust me I know just how easy the af has it.... Pisses me off some time actually.

I just hit 7 years on the 26th of feb

It evens out in many ways.. from what I hear, AF folks don't make rank as easy as Army. I made E6 in 4 years.. :whistle: Though I won't be eligible to make my 7 until I have 9 years time in service (this December :rockwoot: ).

Anyhoo... enough threadjacking.. 1000 mi in a week is awesome. I only just recently rolled 4500 on the Duc, and I've had her for 2 years. :scared: Granted I was pregnant/recovering from C-section for a good chunk of that, but still... it's sad considering I put 10k miles on my CBR in the span of a year.

Isn't AF basic only 9-5 anyway? :lol:

I fucking hate you. It took me longer to make E-5, and I'm waiting another year to test again for E-6. I've been in 9 years active and you outrank me, that chaps my ass. And I didn't do a cush 6 month deployment in a year, I did two to four month trips. Four to five times a year, with assorted TDY's in between. And I was a flying crew cheif on medivac missions, so they weren't always the tamest missions.

6 years I made E-5 in the Guard. Still there now at 9 years. Depening on full time jobs I should make 6 in the next 2-3 years.

Army promotion system is different than it is for Air Force. Doesn't mean I'm more or less qualified than you. And I guaran-fucking-tee you get paid more for TDY than I do. And you have better accomodations anywhere you go (unless you have to stay in Army barracks, haha.. and then you get paid more because you have to live in "sub-standard housing"). And you are far less likely to get stuck as a warm body on a gun truck in a convoy. And I'd take two-four month deployments over a year-long mobilization (9-10 months for this next deployment.. 11 months for my first one.. in one shot, except for my 2 week R&R leave.. and that's not including all the fucking training leading up to mobilization) any day. I don't mobilize until late June/early July, but between now and then I have 5 separate courses lined up (only one of which isn't related to deployment). 9 weeks of training, and I still have to work my normal schedule in between, AND go to drill weekends (which I don't get paid any extra to do).

I got lucky in that they promoted me to E6 because there was a conditional waiver due to deployment. I paid for it dearly, though, because there was a lot of responsibility thrown at me that I'm not really certain I was prepared for. E6 at 21? Not exactly the best gig in the world when you lack the experience. I learned a lot.. trial by fire is a quick way to learn, but I don't necessarily recommend it.

Yeah, i had to sleep in open bay barracks while I was at Doha for 4 months, it was like being back in basic again!!! :lol: i missed my private hotel room redflip

I made E-5 in 3 years but started as an E-3 out of basic for ROTC in high school. (you know you can use that shit 15 years after you graduate?) I could have made E-6 before my 6 if my unit had gotten me scheduled for my 7 level course but someone drug their heels. i ended up going inactive to finish my 8 because I got fed up with the unit. I wish I'd just cross trained and tried to do some more tours overseas now, i made good money over there.

Bite me. :redflip: I lived in a giant ass tent when I got to Kuwait.. then we flew to Balad, and we lived in what used to be office buildings (I had to room with 12 other females in the big room :panic:) until they set up the trailer parks. I was E5 at the time and had an E3 roommate once we were set up in a trailer (3 rooms, 2 people per room). Oh yeah, did I mention that deployment was for 11 months? Hell, even that pales in comparison to some of the poor fucks who were extended to 15 months or more.

yeesh six in four? how the heck did you pull that off in a non combat MOS? im a 19 series and i thought i was doing great when i made five in four

13 on the first one 23 on the second :eek:

200 more and youll need a 1200 bar :whistle:
:kawi:

Hey oh! :owned:

nice, glad to see someone finally saw my burn, i was waiting

Sorry I was too lazy to go looking for the thread. Funny though.

Drewp with the zing! pwahahaha

Ebbs, you're gay.

Two facts, right there.
