When they remove it I'm going to ask if I can keep it and use it to roast weenies and marshmallows.

Bike is also in surprisingly good condition. It's not as pretty as it used to be and the Woodcraft frame slider is ground down but as far as I can tell, the only actual damage is a busted windshield. I have all the pieces and I plan to glue it, drill holes and stitch it together Frankenstein-style. IT'S..... ALIIIVVEEEEE!

Roasting weenies with your titanium pin, ROFL!!!

Please post pictures of your Frankensteined bike.

He was quite interested in it and was planning to get one for himself.

That's the only comment I've had, maybe I just look mean or something. I did have a co-worker tell me that I was intimidating once, which I found pretty funny since the guy who told me that was at least twice my weight in pure ripped muscle.

I hear a lot of good things about the airbag vests. People swear by them.

A lot of people tell me they couldn't stand wearing gear in the heat. I do- I like my skin. I have enough scars already.
