Sweet, the power mullet AND the tight rolled pants. Tell me those are Oakley's and we've covered the trifecta of late 80's/early 90's bad fads. Hopefully you were more comfortable when you got out of the jeans and into some rad Zubaz pants, probably in Green Bay packers colors knowing Tracy.

I was waiting for the "you're an asshole" comment, and it came right on cue.

VTX rally in Denver CO, July of '06. 3rd day there me and a few guys make a run down to Colorado Springs to hit the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. We get slowed down more than we planned at both and didn't make the summit of Pikes either cause it started storming on the mt and that dist was slick as owl shit. Anyway, we make a spped run back to Denver and the hotel for "bike games" that afternoon. I'm totally sucking at the all the slow speed manuvers after an adrenaline filled morning and during the one course there was a "slow as possible" section followed by an acceleration box then an "emergency stop" box. By the time I hit the acceleration box I was was out of the running so I hit the gas, pick the front wheel up a couple inches then do my emergncy stop. Cold tires by then, I locked and washed the front before I knew it and had 750lbs of VTX laying on my right leg

There were at least 200 people from the VTX forum watching me but I had plenty of help picking it up off me. I got a little rash on my right forearm since I was squiding it on the parking lot.

Didn't break anything on the bike though and I just had to straighten the rear brake lever and do 400 miles through Rocky Mountain Nation Park the next day. It was an awesome trip!

One time when I was heading to get a new tire on. I go by this highschool that just let out. I was on my SecaII which is emberassment enough but as I was turning (I was rocking shorts and t-shirt too) I see two fine peices of jailbait walking. One gives me the thumbs up so I floor the bike. And then shift into neutral as I was going for second wide open.

Another time I was doing a stoppie for my friends (The secaII) but did it on a sloped parking lot so that the right side of my bike was higher up than the left side. I barely even did one and lost my balance at 0mph and the bike slowly fell over. I thought it was funny.

Oh yeah stalling at a redlight is fun too. Especially when you about stall it to grab clutch which lets the rpms go up but then you drop the clutch going into the panic jerk across the intersection.

By the way when you do screw up it will never ever ever be by yourself. There will be an audience around even if you don't realize it. It will either be 4 of your friends in a car at the redlight looking at you or a car load of jail bait right next to you or behind you.

Let's not start on mullets now. I had a real winner with the ex husband.


Back on topic:

My first drop was probably my most embarrassing. I just got the bike. Had not had it but a few hours. Rolled up to a gas station with the ex. Kicked the kickstand and thought it went down, but it popped back up. I went to dismount and the bike fell on top of me. I'm laying on the ground still in my helmet, yelling at the top of my lungs "HEEEEELLLP!!!" so the ex could get her off of me. I was completely pinned. Since then I have this whole ordeal I go through everytime I put the stand down. Kick it down. Make sure it's down. Rock the bike back at least 3 times. Step ON the kickstand while I dismount and my hands are still on the clip ons. I'm a little anal about making sure she's not gonna fall on me again.
