I’ve never been happier

Money can buy a motorcycle, which is basically the same thing.

Don’t confuse pleasure with happiness.

But that sound is definitely pleasurable.

This reminds me that I kinda miss my '82 Seca 550.

I bought joy last year... Wife told me to put it in the garage and never touch it as it would suddenly explode and i’d die a fiery death... so nothing joyous. just a statue in my garage

1995 Honda Shadow 1100cc. 26000 miles. I figured as my first, i ought to get something on a crappier side and if I drop it, i wont care much...

That’s what I did. I just got real lucky on the hunt. I picked up this 2,400 mile yes 24 hundred miles for a misely $1500 bucks. The bike is pretty much mint.

Hopefully I never drop it but at least the bike has Yamaha accessory crash bars if it does ever happen.

Nice. I got mine for a little more. About 2300. Whatever. I tooled around on it the other day. driving it up and down the driveway. Takes me longer to turn around... but at least it isn’t a total statue.

They say money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a jet ski. And have you ever seen a sad mother fucker on a Jet Ski!? -Chris Rock

That was my exact thoughts behind it.

some day. not any time soon. But I will learn my wife a lesson soon. When I retire, I’ll get me a motorized unicycle - half as stable as motorcycle. She underestimates me!

My girlfriend just bought me a unicycle. Half as stable is the understatement of the decade. I still haven’t managed to get a full pedal in.

oh... well there is your problem... pedals! you need a motorized version.

Fuck! I knew it. Oh well, LS swap it is.

PartyPooper2012 > DynamicWeight 05/03/2016 at 12:35

Nice! Is it still an LS swap if there was no motor in it to begin with? Maybe LS upgrade? LS Bolt on?

Do the pedals count as a drive train? This is one for the philosophers, I think.

PartyPooper2012 > DynamicWeight 05/04/2016 at 06:26

If you left your pedals on cruise control and went in the back to make yourself a cup of coffee, would they continue to pedal for you?

No? Then no! They don’t count as a drive train.

So a bicycle has no drive train!? Everything I know is wrong.

You may be right... I may be crazy. Hmm that has a nice ring to it. Someone should write a song with lyrics like that...

I ain’t no engineer. It may be considered a drive train... but I know this much - you don’t drive a bicycle. You ride it. So at best it can have a ride train.
