TGlems awesome day

[Cass]

aaahhhh, that sort of networking?

[F Horn of Valere]

Networking is a wonderful thing...

 

I networked with a fellow fan of my college football team and ended up with the best job for my current conditions that I could ever have hoped for.

Yup, that sort :-)

It's awesome when that type of thing works out.

Last night I found out that a piece of legislation I wrote has now been introduced and passed as an amendment to the main bill in committee.  If the bill passes and the President signs it, I wrote part of it!!

 

[F Horn of Valere]

What legislation?

[Tyler Glembo]

A couple parts of the America COMPETES act.  In the Senate it is still a single bill, in the House it has been parsed into multiple smaller bills.  It's an authorization bill for the science agencies.

Yesterday, my weekly meeting with my boss went amazingly well.  Awesome day.

I did two things today on my bike while going on a group ride with a bunch of other sport bikes. 

 

Thing A)  Awesome.  I hit (according to my speedo) 184mph which is 296kph.  It.  Was.  Nuts.

 

Thing B) Terrible.  I low-sided.  I was okay and so was my bike, no damage at all except for my my ego was majorly bruised.  Ugh.  Stupid decreasing radius turns.

[Tyler Glembo]

And today I'm trying to clean my jacket from my stupid low-side. 

 

If you don't know what a low side is, here is a video.  That isn't me in the video but it is almost exactly what happened to me.

Love the motorcycle in the OP

[Tyler Glembo]

  Thanks!  I'll keep posting pictures of it as I make updates.  I've already replaced a couple fairings and the mirror deletes, put on bar end mirrors, etc. 

 

I'm thinking of painting it dark purple....thoughts?

[Nynaeve]

I'd keep it black and add purple details. Actually I'd prolly add red details but purple works too. 

[Cass]

Super lucky you didn't mix Thing A and Thing B together, right!!

 

Guessing you had oggy nobs protecting the fairings during Thing B ( I think I remember seeing the outline of one on the OP, but I can't be bothered clicking back to check lol).

 

The bike rider in me thinks the nuts and awesome speed you achieved in Thing A is scarily awesome. You planning on suiting up as the next ghostrider? ;P

 

...The paramedic in me is simply horrified. Do you know what happens to your internal organs when you stop suddenly whilst travelling at that speed?? (They shear off the bits and pieces holding them in place - as in your heart etc literally 'jumps out of your chest' and your arteries stretch and snap - and you go super messy messy bye-byes ;P Be safe! ). 

 

I like the idea of keeping the black and adding dark red details... but purple might work! Or  Have you got pics of the colour your thinking of??

Thing A and Thing B def dont' go together!  And yep, I have frame sliders which take the brunt of everything stupid I do to save my bike. 

 

As for Thing A, I am thinking of heading to the salt flats someday, going cog -1 with a few other performance upgrades and trying to join the 200mph+ club.

 

Color...no pics, but a very deep, royal purple.  Nothing lavender.

Went on a beautiful night ride through the Great Falls, VA area tonight with a group of 8.  One of the best rides I think I've ever been on.  Perfect pace, perfect weather, beautiful beautiful scenery, and not a single deer jumped out in front of us on the road :-)

Today I went on a 12 hour ride.  Met up with 31 other bikes, covered a couple of states.  Epic day.

 

 

 

 

 

[Tyler Glembo]

And one more for good measure.

 

[Cass]

Nice!!!!

 

Sometimes it's a real shame you live in the wrong country...

[Nynaeve]

Looks like so much fun!  Totally jelly

[Tyler Glembo]

Today was not an awesome day.  Spent all day at work on a Saturday.  Came out to see somebody had knocked my motorcycle over.  I"m assuming a car hit it even though it was in motorcycle parking.  Mirror broken, foot peg broken in half, body work scraped up, brake lever bent down. 

 

*sigh*

[Cass]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

*Polishes your bike*

 

All better now?

 

Same thing happened to a friend last week... but wait - the person who did it WAITED for over half an hour for us to return so they could exchange insurance details etc... See, toldya you're in the wrong country... ;P

 

 

 

Seriously though, hope it's all easily fixed!!
