this might just be the greatest thing ever. You should see the video of me on the track with my jacket open flapping around(2pc back then).

Swapping bikes at a stop light is not exactly the brightest thing to do.

Well, without having tried it, we wouldn't have this priceless video. So there's one positive.

Also, maybe swapping bikes should simply just be off limits for members challenged at such.

As funny as this was, the "box on foot" coming is Episode 2 was a heck of a lot funnier. I wish I would have captured it from start to finish.

Lonestar, to make uploading a bit faster you might want to reduce your vid from 1080 to 720, and since most all of these fools watch the vid on their phone you could probably bet away with an even lower setting.

Yep, I had to start the video far enough back to get that in also.

On the bright side, we didn't get lost.

I agree...and it's just a little bit extra special when you ride "past" him. Something very satisfying about that I can't quite put my finger on.

I'd say try that at the track, but it will be awhile before I get back there

Yes, I don't imagine the track would be nearly so satisfying...for me.

Jeremiah, maybe we should use this whole "try it at the track" thing to shame him into buying that rear shock? I'm just saying...he's got a new suspension on his couch, and he could do the bike even cheaper yet for his bike. Then he could SHOW me on the track.

Track is not high in the priorities right now!...there I said it. It hurts, but sometimes you gotta handle other shit to make sure you can do the shit you want down the line.

That's going in the history books and it couldn't have happened to more deserving members.

Where is the video of the box stuck on the foot?
