sorry its a little long, just my thoughts on life at this point...

As the regulars on here know, im in the Air Force. back about a year and a half ago when i made the leap to switch from a ground job and get my wings they offered me the deal of a lifetime. as a ground opp, I can be stationed just about anywhere but as airborne, we have only 3 bases and we are less than 40% manned up. No one wants to go through Survival School. upon making the switch they told me I would have a spot at any base i wanted i picked England for my bike!

in the past, girlfriend have always gotten in the way of me and my true love. my family were all pretty cool about getting a bike which i still don't understand... You should have here my girlfriend when i told here I was "borrowing" a friends bike. she was pretty pissed that was until she found out i wasn't borrowing the bike at all and that it was mine.

I was out in Cambridge last night at a club. saw some girl across that bar that was HOT!!! 15 min later she came over to me and started talking with her bri'ish accent. At first i was like oh hell yes! some time later she walked off and she friend started talking to me. she was telling me that "Tanya" is the kinda girl that need to be treated well, buy her flowers, chocolates etc. etc. For a second I thought, oh thats easy cuz im that way anyway. a short while later I had the urge to ditch her and GET OUT OF THERE! I haven't had an actual girlfriend in about 2 years now. Ive dated girls yes, but i feel like i've become an evil person. Ive lied to them all, straight to their faces. in the last 2 years ive never really like any of them. It all takes too much time, time away from me and my bike.

ever see the movie "cruel intentions"? theres a part in it when the dude pushes a girl off the bed and says "This is what i like to call quiet time" thats what i feel like all the time. ill hang with them for a little while then its like "go the F home!"

I Hate when girls want to ride on the back of my bike. I have a cowl over the back seat so most of the time i just say "sorry i only have one seat"

I'll make plans to ride on lets say Saturday. I stay more or less sober Friday night and go home early so i can have a good day of riding. Before the military, i stayed away from weed because i was afraid it would lower my reaction time and in turn affect my riding. next to computer programing, riding is the one thing thats come natural to me. Do you love it as much as me? Do your girls ever get in the way?

 

Nope my girl is cool wit the bike... She just tells me to be careful and she knows i have times where i like to ride with her and when i just wanna be alone riding so she understands which is really cool i can just hop on the bike and go... I love riding with her though cuz theres not many guy friends that have bikes that i trust to ride next to.... Now my ex thats a different story she made me get rid of my eclipse turbo with mods because i was spending too much time with it instead of her... After that i agreed to myself the girl i get with better be ok with my toys My girlfriend now said she dont even care if ii wanna swap or turbo the civic in the spring oh i love her

 

Man. I used to be like that. Then I realized how much I was missing out on other aspects of life because my focus was so concentrated on always riding. It's like crack. You're addicted and love life when you're high. When you're not high, you're thinking about when you'll get your next fix. Before you know it, your life has passed you by and all you have is you and your pipe. Er, bike. It sounds like I'm being a little dramatic, but if your life is riding and it's been 10 years...am I really exaggerating?

Some people can balance it out naturally. You don't sound like one of 'em. Hobbies should just be hobbies.

 

Were you high when you wrote this?

You're young and you have tons of time to do more things. Ride as much as you want. When you actually find a girl worth your time, you'll know it.

I'm a little confused about the contradicting points of "I buy flowers and chocolates for girls all the time" vs. "I lie to girls faces". Offer any clarity?

 

come on... hot chicks with british accents are always much more important than bikes

 

your def a true rider

 

expletive that ****. i date model type bitches and would kick their *** out the house in a second to go riding. nothing...... NOTHING.... gives me satisfaction more than sxreaming arond a corner with my elbow grazing the pavement. ive wrecked a bunch of times, twice REALLY bad. not once did i ever think about calming down or quitting. i was PISSED that i had to wait til i healed to even be able to control a clutch lever. ive pretty much given up any part of what mst would consider a "social life" to focus on riding. but the great part is, riding IS a social activity. some of the best people ive ever met has been through riding. hanging out at the racetracks will all my friends is the best day ever. I LOVE RIDING.

i cant wait to get my little girl riding when shes 4.

check the armpits. and dont do anything else until you do.

 

Why does she have to be your girlfriend? Don't make it official, don't have that talk, and don't let her leave stuff at your house.

I'd probably have a death wish too if I had to date mindless morons like that.

 

Girls are Girls they will always be there. An you can almost always find some girl to hook up with.But you might not always be able to ride. Just spend time with them when it rains or it cold.

 

i don't ride as much as i used to when i was single but, spending sat morning at newcombs w/ 15 guys in leather and having sex on saturday morning and pancakes made fir you is a wash in my book.

 

I've broken up with girls over the car before. Any girl that doesn't let you enjoy one of your passions isn't right for you. But wanting to shove a girl out of bed to go riding? You have some issues.

 

Wow... so much stupid youth in here.

To the OP, you sure you're not gay?

english chix are hot.

for the 6 weeks i was in paris, i was mostly underwhelmed by french chix, surprised by english/german chix, and totally smitten with spanish/italian chix even if spanish girls all look the same.

 

I thought Bangers and mash did something evil to the girls that fly the union jack?

 

god save the queen (granted none of these girls is the typical english broad, who is generally thin and does too much cocaine?

HOLY BAZONGAS!

you must find a woman who can appreciate your passion. the woman can do her ballroom dancing classes and decorate the bedroom, but thats also means you get your REAL love a permanent home in the garage.

 

You can ride a chick, but you can't put your dick in a motorcycle.

i really dont think so. take for instance the pictures posted above. you REALLY think one of those girls is going to fulfill you intelectually or emotionally? sure sex is great, but not a single girl ive met in my life that looked that good had the brains to justify a serious relationship. riding does for me what no woman could. unfortunately for me im fairly vain and want the best of both worlds in a woman. i may have been exaggerating about kickin her out of bed... but i certainly would wake her up in the morning, tell her breakfast was on the table and to lock the door on her way out.

I'm a bit shloshed right now so i hope this all makes since... my thoughts for the night. If you dont feel like reading the entire thing at least read the last 2.

Im only 22 years old, have my whole life ahead of me "i know" but I also know that one day my mid life crisis is going to hit HARD! I really struggle through every day because i know that every day passes by and is one step close to the end. "yes its far off i know" I dont care how far off it is, before i know it, it will be here. Theres too many things I want to do with my life, an entire month doesn't have the time I would need to accomplish an ideal day. Right now im in the military in hopes that it will look good on a resume one day, im working on my bachelors in electrical engineering and the one thing that takes my mind off everything is riding.

It's too easy to go out to the bar every weekend and pick up a girl. I'm not ready, I'm too young to merry some girl and settle down. I was with a girl for too long at one point and I feel like any ACTUAL relationship is going to pull me away from myself.

I remember back when i was 4 years old, I was in preschool, it was a sunny day with few clouds in the sky. With my velcro shoes and my striped shirt I was looking down at the strawberries in the garden thanking to my self... "I wish i was grown up" now all i can think about is being back where i was

I go to sleep every night not knowing how im going to get everything done the next day, but i somehow do. In doing so i somehow make time for my bike. I read a study a few years ago about brain activity during different activities... Activities were measured in stress levels, sleeping being (most of the time) the lowest. next up and not much higher being a calm rest. it goes up through certain activities and of all normal activities tested, football was towering above just shy of flying a fighter jet.

What many of you will may find surprising is that racing motorcycles required over 25% more brain activity then flying jets. Its ironic because carving corners is the one thing that relaxes me. The one thing that makes me feel at piece. I honestly don't know what i would do without it.

 

wow that was seriously f-king profound.

expletive circuits. you couldnt pay me enough to go EE.

and I love my girl way more than my bike...the longer I have the thing, the more I just look at it as a financial responsibility and a waste of time. all we have to ride are ****-poor city streets and interstates. the nearest place with decent curves is at least 2 hours away.

trying to make good grades in upper level mech E courses and a girlfriend is all I have time for, weekend rides are out of the question.

I'm definetely looking forward to a 9-5. this studying all night and day **** is for the birds
