Re: Just did something stupid
You told us you weren't going to do that, Jarl. Did you change your mind on the three wheeler as well?

Shhhhh . . . don’t scare him away!

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

A member over at CycleFish said you bought one of these.
That's badass, man.

That is ridiculous.

Hey, you went from '"NEVER" to "I bought another bike" in a matter of weeks. Getting back on another bike can be a process. I bet a lot of old bikers have taken the training wheel route until they regain their confidence after a near fatal accident. As they say, baby steps.Jarlaxle wrote:That is ridiculous.

Re: Just did something stupid
Hey Jarl we're just teasing because we're jealous. Show us some pix of the new wheels.
Re: Just did something stupid
I knew I'd buy another bike...that is why I wanted to get rid of my M endorsement. But I didn't, unfortunately.
Re: Just did something stupid
Congrats . . . and be safe.

Jarl, life is pretty crappy in lots of ways and the planet is melting. Have fun, because you are dying anyway.

Re: Just did something stupid
Nothing is 'safe'. The word is usually used as an expression of jealous puritans and sheep who wish to prevent others from enjoying life. People die in their sleep, at home in their own beds,so never sleep in your own bed--it is not safe.
Safe can only be used logically as a comparative. A can be more or less 'safe' than B.
On the other hand, I am still mad at John Gardner for killing himself while riding drunk. He was the author of 'Grendel' and "Nickel Mountain' among other very beautiful novels. By killing himself he personally deprived me of the great pleasure of reading anything new, crafted by this great American author and I don't like it.
So Jar, just get out there and ride.

Re: Just did something stupid
Jarl--life is way to short not to do the things you enjoy; enjoy the road on this new bike.

Re: Just did something stupid
If you'd enjoy that more than riding, by all means, go for it. (Just don't kill anybody else while you're drunk.) But everything you've ever said here leads me to think that that's not your idea of fun.Jarlaxle wrote:Maybe I should just start drinking, then.BoSoxGal wrote:Jarl, life is pretty crappy in lots of ways and the planet is melting.

Just enjoy your time on the motorcycle, and be careful.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

If I'm drunk enough, I won't give a shit.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
