Played hookie from work today to take my girls on a field trip. Went to a mine in the Silver Valley of Idaho where they learned about the mining history around here. Panned for gold, had some good food, they had a blast. Gotta cherish days like this...

Get off your phone

Since this is the "Whatever" thread... I wanna vent...

Text Font Signage Sign Banner


I am completely sick and tired of morons always on their phones while behind the wheel! I'd say they keep using their phones while driving, but they're not driving - they're SUCKING!!!

Things people do with their cars because their stupid phones are so important to them (in no particular order)...
  • Fail to STOP when they should - running through red lights, stop signs, yield signs, occupied crosswalks, over the top of motorcyclists, into other objects, etc.....
  • Fail to GO when they should - sitting still at green lights, forcing my hand to press the horn in that @$$#01e manner because I don't feel like sitting through another red light
  • Weaving out of their lanes like a drunk driver who's asleep - seriously, I watched this one moron use up both sides of the yellow lines AND the bike lane on the shoulder
  • Driving off the road - (this one's my favorite, but only when no one else is involved) - I've had the pleasure of watching one moron launch their POS car into the air as it hit a culvert. The landing gave the car a slightly noticeable "U" shape, clearly bending the uni-body construction to the point of unrepairable. They were not injured but obviously shocked at what happened. After pulling over and helping them out of the car, I smiled like an @$$#01e and said sarcastically "Do you need a phone to call someone? Oh wait, I KNOW you have one!"
  • Being COMPLETELY oblivious to everything and everyone around them. This leads to slow speeds, high speeds, weaving, missing turns, all sorts of shenanigans!

I don't understand it, really. There is absolutely NOTHING that is so important that you need to deal with it WHILE you are driving! Ignore it for 15 minutes or freakin' PULL OVER for one little minute!

North Idaho, eastern Washington, and western Montana are unbelievable in their views and scenery on the other side of the country from you guys.

First pic was overlooking Orofino, ID. Second pic is from Thompson Pass, between Montana and Idaho. Last pic is at the north end of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho.

I just purchased an item off Fleabay that brings a tear to my eye.....a block heater for my winter-beater. :icon_tears: Yep, it's almost that time of year for us northern folks. :icon_no: - sigh -
I can't believe you! All foul mouthed, saying those filthy words! At least you didn't say the s-word

Love the pic of the autumn leaves with your bike! Not a fan of the pic of your other ride. A bit dimply, like cottage cheese. Like she was caught in a hail storm

While it's so fun to talk about *putty* cats, loveable furry little things they are, anyone else hoping to see the Cubs win tonight at Wrigley? Wouldn't that be friggin' awesome!?!

Not sure what a Peach Cobbler is....
I truly truly weep for you, my friend.
It is heaven when you take warm peach cobbler and top it with vanilla ice cream

Anyone besides me start putting up outside Christmas decorations yet? I'm only concerned with taking advantage of relatively warm weather (for here) to git 'er dun before that "S" word arrives. 5 weeks till you know what.
I'm doing the same. No fun being on a ladder in cold and icy crap

Dang. After looking at my last post, it sounds pretty harsh. All these women in my house are driving me nuts. I know it's a short drive....:rolleyes:....
I'm the only guy in my household. Even the dang pets are all girls.
If it weren't for my large garage and my VTX, I'd probably be one of those people who works too much. Gotta have some retreat somewhere and knees in the wind is the best

Seriously, have you checked that you don't have an oil leak that could be getting oil on the tire.
Or maybe the tire is old? What's the date code? Just because it was "new" when you got the bike doesn't mean it didn't sit on the bike for a few years or even sit on a shelf for too long before it was sold.

Old tire could definitely be a big contributor. If I were you, I'd just look for a replacement instead of the burn it down to fresh rubber thing. If you're already Darkside on one bike and happy with it, you should definitely consider it for the VTX. Many are happy with the results and the price of a tire is very affordable.
Honest opinion - replace that tire before it fails you.

With the independent personality of cats, you probably end up with one that won't kill mice. They always seem to do only what they want to do.

Beautiful!! :icon_chee ...is that your back yard?
First pic is out the back window over the patio.
Second picture is out the front door / porch.

I've got five acres that's split about 50/50 front yard to back. But there's a huge rock knob in the back yard that the kids love to play on. Gotta love living in the mountains!

Here's another pic out the back window at that rock knob from awhile ago...
