[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Rant, ...about anything and everything

[jrock8]

alright, the purpose of this thread is to create a place where anyone can vent about anything... it might be some shit at work, some dickhead on the street, something about society in general that just pisses you off...

go ahead, let it out... let's here you rant!


i'll start... i hate the city of chicago... they FINALLY get in line w/the rest of the sensible world and pass a smoking ban that goes into effect this month... the catch? they put in a TWO YEAR exemption for bars, clubs and restaurants... great, two more years of me going out and smelling like an ashtray when i come home, having to air my coat out for days afterwards, oh, and yeah, all the shit that i'm breathing in while i'm there... so here's a royal "fuck you" to the city

My bike is an 83 Magna. It's been extensively detailed. For example, you know how all the magnesium parts on a Honda have a clear coat finish? The older bikes always look like shit because the clear coat gets pitted and discolored, turning black. One of the first things done with my bike was to remove every piece of magnesium (including the rims) and remove that varnish. Then every piece was hand polished and buffed. One small piece would take hours but the results were worth the effort. All the hydraulics were refilled using D.O.T 5 hydraulic fluid, the same as they use on jet fighters. Only Mobile One for my oil changes. The 1/4 mile time was listed as 10.2. I'd never risk my neck doing that but that bike is really quick off the line.

That sounds pretty sweet!!! the Asian bikes from late '70s, early '80s are pretty solid. Great engineering. I know a guy who restores them. It'd be cool to see some pictures of yours with the work you did.

That woman should be run over. I really wish that it was easier to lose your liscence... some people just shouldn't be driving.

I drive the highway 7 days a week to get to school and work and the people who drive on it are miserable. We blame it on the California drivers who keep moving out here. My mother owns a 07 Saturn Sky... bright red convertable and she lets me drive it once in a blue moon. People automatically assumed that I wanted to race every car on the planet, they'd tail me/cut me off etc.... It really pissed me off because it's a nice car, it was a nice day... and I just wanted to cruise!!

Anyways... I'd love to have a scooter, they advertise them on the light rail trains out here, but I probably average about 70 mph in my car

that reminds me of when i woudl drive wth my friend when he had his camaro. People wanted to race him all the time. He hardly ever would, though, cuz it would always end with him being embarrassed. It was only the 6-cylinder, so people blew his doors off all the time.

the Saturn sky is a cool-looking car. I'm a fan of the roadster anyway, but I really like the sky. I'd totally get one, but the wife and I already have a convertible. Potiac, which Im' not a big fan of in general, also has a roadster that I like the looks of. i think it's called teh solstace or something like that. Anyway... I bet you look pretty hot in that car. I bet people aren't trying to race you, they're probably trying to pull up next to you to get a good look at ya. Can't say I blame 'em

They have scooters that are highway worthy and are well capable of doing over 70mph. But those get into a completely difference price range than the one I have.
