    I learned something about wrecking a 4 day old bike. You don't turn it into insurance. And you find a lot of reasons for parts that you don't actually need to replace. I've already bought about 2k in parts. I only really needed about 500 in parts. I didn't do any real damage to the bike. Edit...

    Well, they're not cheap. I've done it for 4 of my vehicles (I'm including the Triumph, I've already ordered them for that). The cheapest I've done it was probably 400 bucks, but that was because I had to custom make them for my Firebird. Average probably ran 600 for all of them. If it's worth...

    The super bright ones are half assed HID set ups. I recommend HIDs whole heartedly, just keep the bulb about 6,000 kelvin and that will prevent any bluing of the light. The bright ones are HIDs that didn't bother to change the reflector housing. I've done HID swaps on all my vehicles. I also...

    10 more weeks bed rest until I can start PT... Had the follow up today. Gotta figure out how to get down to take my NR for my medic sometime... I'm getting impatient to take it, no one will drive me to take it, though. Sick of not getting out of the house.

    I know I can still serve. Just not in any of the careers that I've dreamed of. So yeah. He's pretty right. I mean I've never seen a career that interested besides those 3 and they're all write offs.

    I always planned on pararescue. There was a problem with my vision waiver. So I wasn't able to at the time. I started the 11 recruitment process and then my waiver came through for pararescue. It was something regarding my astigmatism. 11x had no issues taking me with it so that was my back up...

    Yeah this was a lot longer than just an after high school pursuit haha. I was 280 lbs when I decided that's what I wanted to do. I spent 2 years training to iron man standards. as soon as I hit them I broke my tibia. Minor setback, but took another 6 months to get to the standards. And now...

    So. I had a call into my Pararescue recruiter after the accident. He called today and said "I'm so sorry, bud. But there's no way in hell we can get you on flight status after a surgery like that." There goes... Well.. All my dreams since I was a kid, ha. Kinda feelin'... Frankly, that I'm done...

    It was raining. Brand new oily tire and no road traction. It just went out from underneath. Yeah I definitely am too. The helmet has faired better. Visor shattered and the helmet got sanded down a little bit. I completely avoided road rash except for a tiny spot on my back where the jacket...

    Anyone know anywhere decent to camp in San Diego that's open this time of year? Preferably free, because I'm poor. Me and my bike need a bonding trip and I think a day trip to Cali would do it :P

    That you do! Not a whole lot better than it. Its nice when someone understands when you say "I need a ride, its been a rough day" and they don't question it at all hahana. I don't really have many in phoenix. I stick to day trips up to yarnell hill and tortilla flats. I do a lot of over night...

    Tail tidy is in the works. Plus a flyscreen. I didn't get her this morning, I asked them if the brakes had been serviced after the recall And they hadnt. So this afternoon they should have the bike ready. Hopefully, because I am quite impatient. Thank you to both of you! I wanted a speed...
