Random stuff I say:
Women are like square roots, if they're under 17 you just have to do them in your head.

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis?

You need to put your gopro on while you ride down hill with it. I want to watch you wreck it like you did on your pedal bike. :SideSplittingLaughter:

I have wrecked just about everything I have ever owned at least once. Although now that I think about it I have owned 3 Suzukis and haven't crashed any of them. :HeadScratch:

Cuz it's Yankee country!

anythin North of the Red and East of the Sabine is Yankee territory.

And, anythin west of El Paso is Breakfast Cereal territory. (you know fruits,flakes and nuts)

The only one that I still have is the SV track bike and if I wreck that I don't think it will be because of a jinx.

Let me see...the high points.
Cheaper than motorcycling as far as hardware goes.
Obviously no need for much protective gear - or do they have squids here too???
Sense of speed increased due to proximity to the pavement.
Sense of speed begins increasing with the proximity to the canyon drop-off.
Sense of speed greatly increases once interfaced with the canyon drop-off.
Sense of speed greatly diminishes once interfaced with the canyon floor.
Obviously no brains required.
Gangster white-walls for a fashion statement...love that.

Dude if I did that shit I would be in my commuter gear at least. And if it was cool enough out I would be in leathers. It is kind of like the guys that I see riding scooters wearing no gear. I don't want to explain that my injuries came from that.
