    Good riddance.

    Maybe Mikey can get a job pushing a broom at Hunt's Lodge, if
he can be trained up to do something useful for the first time in his
life, and to shut the f.ck up.  Myabe his Daddy and his brother love
him, but no one else does.  What a useless 250 lb leach.

I saw a lot of uselessness in the few episodes I managed to grind through.
It seems the actual motorcycles were just an excuse to showcase a lot of
grown men bitching, complaining, and throwing temper tantrums like a group
of jealous 13 year old girls.

I would have liked to see two things:

More variety in the motorcycles they built.  "Oh this will be the most
unique thing we've ever done.  We're going to paint the fender red instead
of black!  Have you ever seen something so wiiiild!"  My a.s.  Same frames,
same engines, same everything.  How about something requiring a little
creativity and engineering skills, as opposed to a bunch of thuggy looking
drama-mamas slapping the same sh.t in the same place every episode and
acting like they're in a big f.cking hurry.

Pussy.  All successful shows have jiggly titties, pert a.ses, and a somewhat
pretty face to give a little pazazz.  Even Mythbusters makes sure to have at
least one hot chick on their show at all times.  Evidently they have hot
chicks on standby, just in case one has to go spit out a kid or something.

Yeah, it seemed like a remake of Black Sheep Squadron to me.

No, the acting in OCC wasn't even close and the scripting mad "guiding
light" look like quality literature.

Pity it's cancelled. The lawsuit should have been good
for at least another season or two. Probably better
entertainment than the bike building too.

For this audience, it would need to be more like Jon and Kate plus V-8.

fine, as long as said V-8 is narrower than any current 750, weigh less
than a 1l sportbike AND be as quiet as a caddilac while keeping the
mufflers no bigger than an aftermarket exhaust. A composite monocoupe
chassis is a given. 8^)

They build bikes on that show?  When did THAT start?

Well, "choppers" would be more accurate I guess.

I can see how this activity might have gone unnoticed, but
it's cleverly used as a sort of backdrop for all the shouting
and uproar.

Like I said, I think the lawsuit would have provided the
same thing, only better.

They built a tribute bike for David Mann and presented
it to his widow. It meant a lot to her.

They built a bike for Jay Leno.  It didn't make it home before breaking down.
That meant a lot to me.

Bingo.

I used to hang out with several guys who just *loved* to build super-
fancy chopper-style show bikes. But to a man, they were universally of
the opinion that first and foremost you built a functional, useful
motorcycle as the foundation and *then* you added whatever chrome and/
or metalflake bells and whistles you felt were a good idea.

Something that *looks* fancy but can't be ridden without either vital
parts fallling off, or its crippling the rider in less than an
afternoon's cruise, may -or may not- be good art; depending on your
tastes in such things, but a real motorcycle, it ain't.

Sigh. That all applies to my (former) CB750 chopper. I had a lot
of fun with it, showing it off at bike shows and so on. But rideable,
it wasn't.

I was reading Fred on the MCN last page last night.  He was discussing
the difference between "motorcyclists" and "bikers" to a lay person.
It went something like the red neck comedian schtick:

If you wear a full face helmet you are probably a motorcyclist.

If you wear a beanie with a sticker that says for "costume use only"
you are probably a biker.

If you go into a store and search out waterproof gear with approved
body armor you are probably a motorcyclist.

If you go into a store and search out the blackest leather jacket with
the longest tassels dangling from the arms, you are probably a biker.

He then went on to discuss difference between an Americade rally
(organized rides most of the day, everyday) vs some biker rally that I
forgot that had no rides besides people blasting their open pipes up
and down the strip for 5 straight days between trips into the taverns.

He ended up conceding that we all probably have a little of each in
us, I know I do.  But if you are the kind of person who would buy an
OCC, I'm thinking that you are pretty much all biker.  And a biker
always has a pickup handy when the need to go somewhere arises.  And
how crippling can riding between taverns be?  Especially with a
sedative at every stop...

yep...what he said. Though personally I prefer getting someone sober
to take me to the next tavern/pub/bar/dive etc. Barring that I walk...

I prefer pubs that are about an hour apart. As the body can process a
standard drink in an hour, I can have drink at every stop. :)

Lad you've got it all arsebackawards. It's beer, wait an hour...THEN
ride to the next stop. Bonus points if you do not drink the same style
of beer more than once on the trip. 8^) BTDT

??? So you would have your drink, wait an hour, then ride for an hour,
then have your next drink? Now thats arse about face. I'll stick to my
drink, ride myself sober, then have another........

Gotta keep in mind that Keith is just a little guy.  One drink and his
blood alcohol level has risen probably double that of average
people.  ;)

Not true...above average tolerance. 8^) I'm just damned careful with
these things. Without involving the jackbooted thugs from the police
or loss of money due to wrecks etc I learned to NOT DD or DR. Thankyou
no...buy me a cuppa and I'll tell the you the tale with both barrels
and percussion accompanement <sic>. 8^)

Tolerance is way different to alcohol content. 'Tolerance' is your
ability to handle the alcohol...the cops just want to know what the
blood alcohol level is.

The guidelines as shown in the Automobile Association 'NZ Illustrated
Road Atlas' based on a male weighing 67kg and a female 56kg (our Asian
brothers?)

In the first hour, without food, 5 standard drinks (M), 3.5 standard
drinks (F). No more than one standard drink per hour after that.

A standard drink is 1 nip of spirits ,or 1 200ml. glass of beer ,or 1/3
glass of wine (60ml.)

It's just more laws...if you can learn to stay under the speed limit,
you can learn to stay under the alcohol limit.

I don't do 'cuppa's'...if you come around here for a social drink, help
yourself from the fridge but don't expect me to boil the jug!!  :)
