1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's enough to get by in a lot places in the US, I legit thought they only got a stipend or allowance from the church

 

Yeah, but getting tossed off a bike in general is no joke either.

I rode out of convenience; stationed in so cal and I was within 10 minutes to base so I always rode my bike.

My mom especially hated it when I'd make the 6 hour drive to visit her up north every other month or so

"You're gonna get killed on that bike!"

 

You wouldn't say that if she was a hog

 

My apologies, I meant...let the crowd decide

 

I applaud you sir, that is an appropriate response

 

When I drive by that intersection, the wreck always replays in my mind now that you mention it.

When I laid it over it all happened so fast, but thankfully my instincts seem to know better than I do.. I kicked the bike away from me so I wouldn't get tangled up with it and skid on my back with my body in the fetal position for about 40 feet. I had a full helmet as well which made feel really safe and miraculously I only had about a quarter sized patch of road rash on wrist from where my gloves came unvelcroed


I was pumped so full of adrenaline I picked my bike up cause it was still running and tore after that SUV... regretfully my connecting rod didn't want to do agree with me and snapped about 4 blocks later

 

Yeah fuck that; when you ride a motorcycle it's not whether or not you'll be an organ donor...it's a matter of when or how soon.

 

True fucking true

 

My old jacket; I still have it.

Got this thing with my first bike back in 2006





Almost sold it until someone on another forum said to keep it. He helped create a few designs for Alpinestars only to tell me this and others were discontinued and some people really look out for them.

Only thing it's missing is the liner since, so cal weather.

 

The key for me was staying as far from other people as possible...all the back roads.
Gets harder to do all the time though Not sure I'll ever go back to it.

 

Yeah, that wasn't possible when going in and out of a military base and you live off base.

Sure the San Onofre gate was the way in and out to town but it closed every day at 5 or 6 and we only sometimes got off work before they closed.

 

Yes it still fits me, fuckers

 

that's awesome about the jacket, wish I still had mine... the sleeve was covered in rubber from a 4th of July where we didn't have fireworks and did burnouts in the backyard instead

What kinda bike did you have?

 

You never grew to full size to begin with, we never expected you to grow out of clothing

 

Holy fuck.. what was the guy driving.. were you injured badly?

 

I had two actually; first being a CBR F4I and the other a ZX9R.

The CBR had been laid down once already so it was a perfect first bike; the near liter bike was a monster altogether

 

Glad you felt the need to head that one off.

 

Hey, a lot of people let themselves go ok?

Not this guy.

 

I kinda miss my bikes, thought about getting one last summer, but it wasn't the right time to get another.

Had a Honda Sabre v4 750 and a 09 Harley Road King. The road king was dope, the Honda looked dope but was slow and broke often.
