I won't refuel a running lawnmower, so I sure wouldn't with a chopper. :eek2:

Surely I'm in that video somewhere since I was an 18-year old badass.

Solo: 40 PPL: 42 Space Cadet: 43 Astronaut: 44

Stand-up cycling on my Cyclete, cooking, metal detecting, and riding my Vespa GTV 300. I'd really like to learn how to weld or how to build things, not sure what. I've thought about building a kit plane, but I think that'd be a mistake - I'm not sure how much passion I could maintain for such a...

On one hand, I think polarized is the way go, but on other occasions, I think otherwise. I'm pretty polarized on the issue.

I always thought we were lucky the Japanese never invaded and conquered Carlsbad Caverns.

Someday, when I'm the Supreme Leader of the Entire Planet, this shall be the Law.

Even though I'm about 90% retired at this point, it's funny how the work-week and weekend mentalities still dominate my psyche. Mondays are a drag, even though it's usually not much different than other days. Fridays and Saturdays are exciting - even though... yeah, not much different. I even...

I had an AOPA hat years ago when I joined, wore it all the time. I figured it let folks know I was a pilot; thus, I was a cut-above, a super-human, a man's man. Wearing that hat would give me prima nocta or carte blanche to steal girlfriends and wives.... Which I didn't do since I was a...

Trust fund availability. :D

Long story short: Avoid the high-time 172M - it's on crack.

I guess some folks just aren't quick enough to get out of the way.

At what point in the shoot did the pilot fall out and leave the passenger just sitting there? :p

My first true road bike was a Cannondale, circa 1994. This was the era of the big fat down-tube and straight seat and chain stays. I later owned steel, titanium, and carbon framed-bikes, all of which were less harsh than the Cannondale. Although I can no longer ride upright framed bikes, I've...

The most interesting (and expensive) thing about recumbents is the very wide variety of designs. Since I got into 'bents, I've spent way too much money buying different ones because I had the overwhelming urge to experience different models and designs (very similar to the way pilots are with...

I used the rudders when I landed at the Wal-Marts.

I have a Vespa GTV 300 (yeah, I know, it's not a motorcycle per se). I use it more than my truck - it's great for local errands and the occasional longer trip. I recently had a Malossi performance kit installed that increased the WOT speed from about 72 to 85+ mph, so I'm not shy about riding on...

I had to give up riding upright bikes in 2001 due to degenerative disc pain and subsequent fusion surgery. I eventually transitioned to recumbents. Although riding recumbents greatly satisfied my zest for cycling, nothing has ever quite replaced the feeling of hauling ass on a sub-20 lb...

A pace line of hard-driving racers can be like a bunch of lemmings if they aren't paying attention. Each rider's focus is on the wheel of the rider only a few inches in front of them. Not saying it's excusable, but that's the only thing that can explain why a gaggle of cyclists careened into the...

Prior to this thread, I thought a "sharrow" was something like your avatar.
