Good GSR ride in NE today...

skip said:
lets see............we can do the math , my bike is 1200cc yours is 450 cc. your bike is 37.5 % (450 divided by 1200 =.375 or 37.5 percent) the size of mine. .375 = 3/8th in fractions, 3/8ths is less than half so it cant be rounded up to a whole number. thus your bike is only counted as 1/2 a bike ....................any questions?

I could be wrong, but isnt leo on a 650? which would round up to a whole bike?:-s
 
my bike has 673CC of displacement last I checked...

mind you i haven't ridden my bike since yesterday...but yes...that engine case does say its a 650...which means 673CC...oops...

skip...i know your getting old...does that means your eye sight is shot along with your mind?

and...aren't you on a pink bike? which automatically makes your bike a chick bike...which makes you half a man?

OOPs my bad, you see I assumed judging by the speed you were traveling ( or lack of) and by the amount of flesh hanging off either side of the seat that your bike must be a 450 cc. I guess i stand corrected on the size of your bike.
know tell me Leo, how do you know what color my bike is any how? all you ever saw was its tail lights :-D :-D
 
because I had missed a lot of rides this year with the new england bunch once i knew I could ride Saturday, I reached for the trusty cell phone and called some new england members who have not been posting lately. They then in turn got a hold of a few more and the next thing we knew we had almost ten bikes.

Hey Skip mark your calender for the 28th of July thru the 5th of Aug. 2007 We will be getting together somewhere in West Virginia. Make your calls early and bring the whole gang down. Even that 1/2 bike you were talking about.

Hey, I'm the ring leader of NE!! 8-[

I am there for sure, buy these other pansies can't seem to make a commitment that far in advance. Skips pink bike makes him the woman in the family, so he probably has to beg permission by the head of household. Kieth has a weak heart, but I can't bash him for that... like Steve Austin, they can rebuild him, they have the technology! Andy works to freaking much, Joel is a carreer man in the Gaurd- who knows what those fruits might be doing on any given weekend (maybe a weenie roast?) Leo may come down, but he'll have to take off twice the time and we'll give him a 2 day head start down to WV- probably still beat him down. Bob is a trooper, if we can get him to stop polishing his new FJR he just may come on down. Luke just may show up, if he hasn't shrunk down so much that his 1166 is too much for him to handle. Brion will need a full accounting of the cost of the trip before he makes a commitment. Doug will probably be too busy cleaning bedpans to get his leaky headgasket back together by next summer. There's more, but I'm tired of beating on people right now...
 
skip...the only thing that made me sad in that statement..was "the amount of flesh hanging off my seat"...which is funny...since you are heavier than me...


and you're right..i didn't keep up...i wasn't planning to...you already spent a night in jail...i don't want to follow in your footsteps.

I already commited to this ride on the third or fouth post of the orginal thread. Heck the whole reason we are going to west virgina is because in one of my post whining about my tickets in NC, Cbx chris suggested next year we go to west virgina instead. And the idea was born.. Ill be there unless somthing unforseen happens.

Now I have to take offense to this one......
First number one, Leo you are like what..21 22 yo. I had a 650 when I was 19 and bought my new KZ1100J when I was 20.
23 and still riding a 650 and questioning skip.
Skip is smarter than most could ever be and has ridden most..
I have never met Leo but have had the pleasure to ride,live and party with the skip-man..
The reason skip could ride a pink bike, if his was pink..... is he is easily more than half the man.
If you are as cool as him, you can ride pink. Could be the bike has taken on the color of squids pink slips. That must be the slip you see.
My good friend skip has been racing and dragging knees before many of us here. Even me, I didn't start riding till I was 18.
Skip has been there and got the T-shirt and when it is time to follow anyone it is a tie among Skip,Jethro and Andy.
Anyone I missed no offense.

When it comes down to it...............I have to go with skip\\:D/
