So, I have a physical / lift-test tomorrow for another agnecy. The lift-test doesn't worry me, but the cardio aspect of it does. Both times when I got hired by AMR, I had to do a similar step-test type thing where you step for 2 minutes, than they take your HR. Both times, they said I barely passed due to my elevated HR.

I just did a self-administered step test at home and my HR after 2 minutes peaked above 160. Although I'm skinny, I'm not the most 'fit' person as I really don't work out.





Trying to think of ways to quickly lower my HR. I've been trying valsalvas but they aren't being too effective at the moment...and beta-blockers are out of the question. Hmmmm....

Headin' out for another night shift. I'm starting to get used to these little 12 hour shifts. After working 48s (and 72s with OT) 12s sure are nice.

She needs to take the MSF and buy the gear before she even thinks about what bike she wants.


Especially since she's considering a CBR600RR as her first bike just because it's pink.


First bike + 600rr + girl = bad news

It's because of those cookies that you wouldn't share with me...

After riding a GSXR600.... that's my next bike.

The 600's are nice.. But I like taking girls on the back and with the extra weight the torque that the bigger bikes have, its like a.... speed-gasm.

In other news, my dad *code enforcment for the county* just rolled up on a DOA... He paged fire then gave me a ring... since when does code enforcment get all the excitment?

What's being a girl got to do with it?

I've taught a couple girls to ride... Typically it was a nightmare trying to explain the clutch.. But there was my ex, she impressed me... So I'm not saying girls can't, but theres those girls and those guys that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near anything with that kind of power to weight ratio...

It's funny when someone keeps pushing the limits and then messes up really, REALLY big.
