First walmart trip!

Twitchy Stitch · May 23rd, 2014, 12:23 AM

I decided to take her out tonight at 1:00 in the morning just because my game was updating and I was bored. Figured I'd get some sort of practice while the roads were clear because tomorrow I need to pick up some chain cleaner and sea foam and whatever else I need tomorrow while I'm off. Plan on getting into the mechanics of the bike and learn how to keep up with the maintenance. Anywaaaays...

I spun her up and hit the road! Once i turned left onto the main road exiting my street I accelerated her as fast as I could up to fifty to see how long it would take me (9 hours) then I eased it into fifth and just cruised for about 10 minutes till I hit wally world.

I cruised into the empty parking lot and messed around a bit, parked it towards the edge of the space pointing out so people would know there's a badass nearby (not really...) and strutted my way towards the entrance like a hooker after a long day at work (did legs today and the bumpy roads didn't help

)

I made my grand entrance and picked up some canned syrup free fruit, 2% malk (yes I said malk...MALK!), and some strawberry frosted wheats (Cuz real men love the color pink). Had a lady check me out (sadly it was at a register) and I made my way back.

I put it all into my backpack and strutted back out towards my bike with the wind in my hair and a grin like I've just saved Gotham. I got on the bike started it up and made my way out the parking lot. I got to a red light and sat there for hours (5 minutes). I realized the light wouldn't pick me up so I YOLO'D it and sped off into my lane.

Then I got home, opened the garage and locked up the bike. Mom came into the garage, spanked me, and now I'm crying with a cup of canned oranges in my lap typing this thread...Just loving life.

hahaha, that was a really detailed report! Those flippin sensors suck sometimes. Make sure it's safe when you yolo it or check out sneakier ways to get around the light.

Wal-Mart is a wonderful place to go in the middle of the night on the bike. My friend and I do this often when we hang out. Night rides to wal-mart to wonder around looking at things.

Twitchy Stitch · May 23rd, 2014, 03:03 AM

Yeah. I rode up in dat bissshhh. So swek.

krapzed · May 23rd, 2014, 04:04 AM

Tip: if you are in a stop directly under those sensors. Beep your horn once. The electromagnetic whatever of the horn will trigger the sensor.

Good read. Always fun cruising to Walmart at night.

I got cursed out by an older woman at Walmart once, that wasn't too fun though.

Let me know if you need a copy of the maintenance manual. I got a pdf for the next gen 250.

..although I think there might be a link on the wiki somewhere.

Klondike1020 · May 23rd, 2014, 06:52 AM

I like to wander around automotive and outdoors.

I am going to try to get Walmart to price match their own online price of an item they discontinued but still sell in stores

Lol it's a hammock. I want to go motorcycle hammock camping
Reviews say the Walmart one is heavier duty than an Emo or whatever

But yeah , sounds like you had a good night

Around here 1 am is about the only time the roads are not congested
A few drinks are out though , be careful

GHill762 · May 23rd, 2014, 06:57 AM

depending on what state you're in, the red light move may be legal.. in IL it's legal to go through a vacant red light after 2 minutes of sitting IIRC..

Should have picked up some Star tron Fuel Treatment in the Marine section while you were there. Recommended over Seafoam.

cbinker · May 23rd, 2014, 07:32 AM

you must be developing skills fast or are getting over confident by risking a wal mart trip. hell i would not go to my wal mart in a tank(safety purposes) until they built the second one.

Nice story

@csmith12, aside from the gymnastics needed to get out of the window, that's actually a clever way to protect your doors from parking lot dings.

Genius!

They aren't fixed to the ground so you can widen and them constrict them.
