    I got my own party to attend, but thanks for the offer. I'm starting my new job next Monday and spend the first week in Chapel Hill, NC, with a company retreat over the weekend.

    I'll have to ask the locals for that. My last trip was only 24 hours.

    However, I was impressed that the local grocery store had Shiner Bock. I didn't realize it was distributed that far. A little taste of civilization for y'all.

    yeah it was a good time. my poor scalp got minor sun poisoning so i was battling a headache the whole time, but it was awesome. my buddy caught a huge sail fish and we rented mopeds for 24 hours. apparently you can drive a moped as drunk as you want and not get a DUI. although me and one of the other guys ended up dropping ours. i was hauling ass in some gravel and tried to slam on the brakes and fishtail and the whole thing shot out from under me, and my friend went around a turn to fast and skidded out. we also figured out how to burn the tires at a red light and pop wheelies by using the kickstand and reving the hell out of it. apparently someone called the renal place and reported us and they tried to charge us when we returned them. if i can figure out how i need to post a audio clip of the voicemail the rental lady left us. anyone know how to put a voicemail online?

    Actually, I think he was in Key West using KY on the moped tires for burnouts. At least, that's what I gathered from his story.

    no you fool, obviously you aren't familiar with mopeds. they are way underpowered so you have to stand up, lean forward, push down, grip the seat with your knees and pull up then floor it and if your lucky, the tires will start sqealing and you'll leave a little pile of rubber dust behind you. i guess not everybody knows how to do a burn out on a "hog" though. i forgive you MJ, all you know how to do is push around a busted up truck...

    My current ride does pretty well spinning the tires without effort. :p

    that thing is enormous! how do you even keep it up? i would think you would have to be the size of Mike (gtvr6) to be able to keep from dropping that! Ok so maybe your bike was bigger, but mine wasn't built for speed, it's more of a sport bike built for handling.... small and manuverable. i'll see if i can find a picture...

    140 cubic inch engine. Stock it does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. I've worked the engine slightly and am cranking 150 hp and 150 ft/lbs of torque. The thing idles with more torque than my Harley has peak. :devil:

    It's heavy but very well balanced. Even with all that gear I'm able to take corners dragging the footpegs. It's a stupid-fun machine!
