So, while the forum was down, I changed the oil and lubed and adjusted the chains on my bike and the wifey's bike, I wrote some (not all) lyrics to a new song I have been working on, watched the Lakers beat Utah to go to the Western Conference finals in the NBA, went on a group ride that was a total fiasco, made some kick ass zucchini bread with my daughter, and saw "Prince Caspian". Seems like the time off allowed me to live life...hahaha! What did you you guys do?

Cried. Tried to hang myself but couldnt tie the knot. Went to get a gun, but the site came back before my waiting period was over.

i clicked on the cbr forum link about 7,938 times - and then i did an oil change and got prepped for my Niagara falls trip which I am leaving for on Friday. I had the saddlebags on my f4i and was all ready to take pics, but then i didn't take any pics at all because the site was down and so i realized nobody else would really care to see the pictures...

After my sweet trip I'll post precisely one metric s*it ton of pictures.

so glad to have the forum back up!

Panicked of course, accussed my wife of stuffing up my computer, ran upteen virus & malware scans, rang my sevice provider, scanned the internet for any info (supprisingly a few forums mentioned it), wept uncontrollably. Cleaned my bike several times, played Crysis again, finally ended up curled up in a corner, sucking my thumb with my favourite blankie "It'll be back, the said it would be back......"

Changed oil in the bikes, cleaned and lubed chains, provided some support for a buddy kickin' a bad habit, helped get my nephew his first quad, F3 fell off the bike stand while I was getting rubber mounted, followed up a couple of leads for jobs, made some videos on the F3, took the XR to a moto-x track, dumped the XR at the track a couple of times, met a kid in a parking lot and as I went inside to get some plugs for the XR and when he tried to leave and pulled out in front of a car and went down good, pretty much from a dead stop. See if I can find an article, wish I could get pics off my phone onto here... got a pic of his leg in the ER... ewwwww

.

Wearing all his gear. First bike an 01-02 F4i, had it a month.

Panicked that the site was down, hung out at the motorcycle shop,installed the frame sliders on the wifes f4i,ordered her a used,less damaged right fairing,surfed motohouston.com got a new battery for the 900 ordered Brake rotor, brakes, turn signals, new helmet and jacket off e-bay, today my sprocket and chain showed up at my door and my new/used jacket. cleaned and lubed the wifes chain, worked on the 900, got some B-12 for the carbs, think i let them sit too long now the darn thing wont start. got the stuff to do oil changes on both bikes, and tonight went and hung out with an old friend i havent seen in years, bumped into him in town the other night, turns out hes getting a divorce so hence the hanging out, just having fun and a life for once! LOL i tell you this is like crack man, once you get onto this site and when it goes away you start having withdrawls.

Cried until I couldnt cry any longer. Then I emailed Voodoo in a desperation attempt to have some kind of forum interaction. He treated me the same as he does here, ignored me

.

Went on a couple group rides with the locals. One was good (small very talented and experienced group) and the other was a disaster. Full of about 12-14 riders who have only been riding for a few months. Very scary to say the least.

Then I surfed the local forum. After about a day of posting on the local site, I realized just how good we have it here.

I actually tried another site and was dissapointed to say the least. I looked into the 954 post and found that there was only two other 54 riders! WTF! Then I realised they only had like 37 members, well I left and cleaned the bike. I looked into polishing and am now getting ready for that adventure!
