Some people just don't understand...

This morning I got out and met up with Big Ed @ the local MSF course.
After talking about all sorts of things that I had no idea Ed was
involved with, pretty interesting stuff, Redshad showed up playing
hookie from work. Somehow along the line, my wife misunderstood me
leaving the house this morning with "let's meet at Twin Peaks for
lunch". She called me on the cell phone and wondered where I was. I
told her that I was talking with Ed and Redshad. After a very short
conversation, I realized that I somehow screwed up by not being at
Twin Peaks when they opened to meet up with her. I asked Redshad and
Ed if they wanted to join us, and they passed...something about the
pretty girls making them uncomfortable....doesn't ever bother me!

Well, I arrived at the restaurant and we found a table on the patio
where we could have our own tv and watch the bikes. After getting
seated, I looked to see what was on the tube. As typical for a bunch
of rednecks, they had college football. I told the waitress that this
just wouldn't do. I needed something a bit more exciting. She then
turned on basketball....women's basketball. When she got back over
there, I told her that this was worse. I then explained that my
definition of "sports" is anything popping 200mph. Okay, I know that's
vague, but you'd think she'd have known. My wife says "she changed it
for you". I turned around and sure enough....baseball! WTF? I'm not
talking about a ball going fast!!!

I then had to explain life in general to this poor waitress. I finally
got it through to her that what I was talking about was motorsports.
She then found the AMA Superbike races which made me happy.

After a lunch and plenty of drinks while watching Superbikes, we went
back home to finish the day. I don't know what happened to Redshad/Ed
today. I *did* get a message from the waitress for them though. She
asked where they were and I told her that they must've spooked those
two somehow. She asked how. I then explained that they're under the
impression that there's jailtime involved somehow with those
waitresses. She assured me that they were all over 18 and didn't have
any problems or wouldn't involve the legal institutions in any
way....whatever that means!

**I have my own insight on what it meant, but won't put it on the
newsgroup**

 

For shame for shame Brian you had drinks..... shame on you drank and drove.
lol

Me and Big Ed went to Hooters where the girls look to be atleast 20.
Not really...we left town. I do have a Twin Peaks story from the first
time we were there. We we sitting in a booth and Big Ed and I were on
the same side of the table. I looked a few booths up and there was
this little girl of maybe 9 or 10 years old trying to POLE DANCE on
one of the poles of the booth. I told Big Ed..Theres a Twin Peaks gal
in training...I bet her mommy and daddy are so proud.

Big Ed and I were sitting there in the parking lot talking to those
instructors about how much they could teach me in the advanced course.
I asked them atleast 3 times WHAT they could teach me and all I got
out of one of them was how to ride a motorcycle with one hand. I told
them I could already do that pretty well. The other one popped off
something about riding in circles. I told him I could do that too and
I already have a circle riding instructor on our news group...I have
yet to meet him yet but probably will one day. The two Instructors
decided to leave Big Ed and I and go over to chicken express and get
something to eat. I had kinda been telling Big Ed about my brother and
him buying a house in Canton and needing to have it moved. The move
had been delayed several months because of all the rain we have had.
The house was having to be moved across about 6 acres and set onto 3
acres my brother and his woman are buying. They finally got the house
moved last week.

I asked Big Ed if he would like to ride to Canton to check it out and
we could eat something there. I had just eaten breakfast so I wasnt
hungry yet and Big Ed said he was full of shit..I mean coffee. I
called my brother and he said they were over at the house working so I
told him we were on the way. I started to call Brian but he had
already said his wife was pissed and Big Ed said she would probably
kick his ass if he left so we blasted off. We went old highway 80 and
then I-20 to highway 64 exit. We went and looked over everything and
talk to my brother and his woman and kiddos for a short. My brother
said they were leaving to go pick up a table and a few more items from
the daycare so BIg Ed and I kinda meanderd around the place talking
about how my brother fucked up buying that piece of shit and would
have been better off buying a double wide mobile home or a pre-fab
home.

We looked and studied about the place and then we decided to leave and
go find some lunch. We taked about mexican food and then it changed to
BBQ. We rode to the first BBQ joint and they were closed. We passed a
little cafe...they were closing a customer told us as they were
walking out. I checked the steak house and they were closed. We rode
out to a custom candle place there and they were closed..damn..its
first monday weekend and everything is closed. I thought of another
BBQ resturant in town and they were open so we ate there. After we ate
we walked around a little down in the animal section of first monday.
We were trying to find Brians boy a nice big dog or a few cats but
they were all way to expensive. After that, we gassed up the bikes and
headed back to the metroplex. Big Ed and I split there at Town East
mall on 635. I went on around 635 to I-35 and headed back to work for
a couple hours.

So thats what happened to Big Ed and Redshad.

Redshad

 

OK!!!!!!!!!!! Now I feel better.

 

Screwed up ride report.You left out major events along the way.The stop
signs and red lights.We had some good short conversations at some of them
lights.

 

Our drinks are diet coke, water, and or unsweet tea. We can all drive
or ride pretty good after a few of those. We cant be drinking any
booze...booze will put the weight on you and we cant have that. We
have to stay all trim and fit so we can pick up those over 18 year
olds at Twin Peaks plus weight slows your motorcycle down.

Redshad

 

Well hell Big Ed...I had to leave out a few things so you could put
your 2 cents worth in.

Redshad

 

Don't have no 2 cents worth.The cheapest is five dollar.

 

Ok..Put us 5 Dollars worth in. I didnt think you had 5 bucks or you
would have bought Brians boy a kitty cat.

Redshad

 

Uh, not everyone goes to the hangout to get drunk. Fact is, our girls
look good enough here that we don't have to get drunk for them to look
suitable for taking home.

And guess what, our girls at the hangouts don't look like the
dudes....

 

Yeah, what you said....

 

WTF.. You guys ain't no fun atall.. Damn.. reads like you both should have
just hung out at that Twin Peaks joint, just for grins.. Good thing Louie
and
Bjay didn't show up.. They'd have straightened the whole bunch out..

Especially if Louie brought the Sheriff with him.. She don't put up with all
this carryin' on.. Bjay.. break out the hot links and let's get a little
excite-

 

Those MSF guys were sure plugging their course, weren't they? That one
guy kept telling me that I needed to get in his "BRC" (which he had to
tell me was "basic rider course"). I was like "why?". He said "I'll
guarantee you'll learn at least one thing". I said "yep, but it's
quite expensive to learn that one thing...besides, I'd probably learn
that one thing and get confused on what I already know works and kill
myself trying to work out the conflicts". I guess the whole encounter
with that guy changed my mind quite a bit about the course. Without
knowing anything about me or how I ride, he's convinced I need to be
in a certain class of his and he could teach me something. To me,
that's more arrogance than a rider going to a course and being
convinced they are doing it wrong and telling the instructor how it's
really done.

It's always fun watching those MSF guys though. They think they're a
bunch of drill sargents out there. Then also, they are convinced no
one can ride a motorcycle anywhere near as well as they can. Then you
have to students who walk over and want to talk motorcycles. First,
they don't know where to begin the conversation and can't really hold
one together. Then when you make some comment to them about how when
they get out of the course "you need to do xxxx", they'll start the
"Oh, I know that" sort of shit. They get their little certificates and
think "I'M A BIKER" and they don't have to worry about anything else.

And what's up with the shutting the fuel off when you stop and turn
off the bike? The bikes I ride you can't do that with....

You and Ed probably had a better time than I did. It was okay at the
Peaks, until the Harley riders started showing up. Then it was like
watching a bunch of clowns performing. Had this one guy show up on a
new Deuce. This guy could've been straight off the MSF course line. He
wasn't too bad riding it, but his passenger was wearing some thin
blouse, white pants (not even jeans), flip flop sandals and holding a
big assed purse that couldn't close over her shoulder. Anyone ever
wondered why it's a bad idea to wear white pants for a woman on a
motorcycle? Then that purse was something else too! Geez!!! Well, the
guy came out to the patio to maybe say something to me. He just stood
there like I was going to start admiring his motorcycle or something.
I was busy talking to the waitress. When the Harley crowd started
showing up, I just started watching my AMA Superbike program.

The thing with a Harley that these guys don't understand, you pay $15k
for the bike then put another $15k into it with accessories and park
it in a parking lot....and you still can find it in the crowd. Unless
it's something spectacular, it's been done and I've seen at least a
hundred others. It gets boring....but they all think it's the newest
hottest thing out there. The last time I was "wowed" by a Harley
enough to even go look at it was one that pulled up at the fish fry
for TMRA2. The guy had the cleanest bars on the planet. It looked like
just handlebars and that was it. You couldn't even see the grips as
they were molded into the bars. All the controls were lined into the
bars and everything. Like I said, it was like the guy was riding with
nothing but just the handlebars (minus all the controls).

 

Yea sure I only had one lol
Dusty

 

Do you mean that you only had "one" and those women at the Pig Pen
looked good to you?

Shit, you must have REALLY low standards!!!

To me, those women wouldn't look good until I was so drunk I would
have to hang on while lying on the floor....

 

Officer I only had one.
Dusty

 

And what's up with the shutting the fuel off when you stop and turn

motorcycles to need a fuel shut off...you just run them out and call
for a trailer...lmaooooooo

''Many dittos'' Brian.
=First: I havent used a ''fuel'' shut off line since I got back into
riding 4 years ago. Why?, if you ride the Bike? Those Canada fellers
probably do, cause they store theirs 2 or 3 months.. that's when one
uses the ''Fuel off'' switch. (I think?)
~~~I agree with you, about the doubt any of the MSF/BRC Instructors
could teach ''much'' to most of the Riders that are ''TxMoto regulars''
on here! I feel like I am certainly one of them. Others on here know who
they are.
~~~Now I truly do not blame our new member, BillC for enrolling, I
believe he said once he had just got back into Riding. He might need a
refeasher course. I knew I didnt with not a doubt, when I got back into
Riding, but I did have enough sense to practice.
~~~When I got the Valkyrie, I practiced. It being a fairly heavy and
slightly intimidating and a sure nuff= heavy Motorcycle, and so 4th...so
I practiced.
~~~~I would venture to say, that most experienced Riders enroll in the
MSF, to help out on their Insurance (maybe?), and not to have to ''Take
the Riding'' test, in order to get their MC license. (maybe?) just
speculating.
~~~~I still maintain that any and all MSF courses is for those who's
never rode a Bike. My wife took it. But, not untill I taught her how to
ride, in a parking lot. First, I didnt' want her to be ''Totally
Green'',& didnt want her to collide with any of the other newbies, and
embarrase her self, not too mention hurt herself.
~~~~~~ She did well, however she said several quit at the noon break,
first day. And by the way, there were 7 women out of the class of 10!!
~~~~~After she completed the $150 MSF, and let me add, she was so
''proud'' of her self! ~~~ I taught her how to ride on the rural/real
roads, the curves, stopping at stop signs, stopping on
inclines/declines, turning around on gravel, passing vehicles, all the
places you cannot learn =riding in a parking lot==from those highly
talented Instructors.....(OPGrin, bjay)

No, you got it ALL wrong!!!

I didn't call for the trailer because I ran out of gas...I called for
the trailer because I ran the battery down after trying to restart the
motorcycle after I ran it out of gas....

Now, can you imagine how confused I'd get *if* my motorcycle had a
fuel shut off valve? I mean, a starter button confuses me!!!

Maybe, just maybe this is why I need the basic course as opposed to
you needing the advanced course?
