  1. I got this bike on trade recently and thought it might be of interest to someone here for a wives bike or entry rider. 2004 CB600F (naked bike). Yellow in color - 8k original miles. All stock (well - after market front signals and a hand chopped mud flap out back) and damn near flawless with recent/new-ish rubber. Clean title etc. Asking $2999 at the shop but if someone from here wanted it I'd make a deal in the $2k ish range. Idk why - its just strikes me as too nice for a local squid to stunt it Edit: Pics to follow and located at my store in Idaho Falls ID

  3. Just wanted to say thanks to the forum, for providing me the level of detail I needed to get my Bird back up and running. bought her as a non runner, with the ebay seller telling me it had been dropped static, and on restart, the throttle stuck open long story short, i found the rh bar slightly bent preventing the throttle closing, I also found a level of strip under the tank, and used the forum info to reconnect the fuel and vacuum lines successfully. she ran up perfik last night, albeit I had changed the plugs and air filter while i was under the tank Oil change next! Bird is the word!!

  4. Might not be a big deal to some of you.. or any lol. But: im 48. I have never in my life had upper body strength. Legs and stamina I got - but even when I was swimming alot I had no strength. When I really started pushing myself a year ago one of my goals was to be able to do a chin up/pull up. Even in my best days in the military I couldnt do this. I had been working towards this with certain exercises but hadnt made an attempt in nearly two months. Monday I was at a play ground with my 10 year old and on a whim tried it hanging off the damn monkey bars… and I did it! Cold - in street clothes. So today Im back in the gym. Warmed up a bit and then grabbed the bar - banged out 3 good ones in a row. Relaxed for a minute and them banged out 3 more. Flat foot, full stretch chin ups. First time in my whole damn life.

  6. I can't imagine hating breakfast. I don't eat a full breakfast everyday but on the occasion where I am in the mood I find great joy and pleasure in bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns or home-fries. Eggs Benedict is also a treat. Making and eating a nice full breakfast with my wife on the weekend is a welcome indulgence that transcends the concern for nutritional or health values. The food and the aromas from cooking breakfast create comfort and set a warm ambiance for the day. IMO sometimes a meal is more than just the sum of feeding one's body.

  7. You guys have to understand the source. Carlos wears toe shoes, so his experience with and perception of socks is skewed. I think he is an anti-socker. He will do a great job of rationalizing his obsession of everything anti-sock. Probably destroy me since I am a known rabid pro-sock apologist. I think there is room in the world for all people on the sock spectrum. I actually am not wearing socks right now! (I walked the dog through my fields on a chilly and wet autumn day and my Jobst “Ambitions” got wet in the toe box) Believe me, I feel naked. Carlos would just feel normal. Tomek, you go guy! Be a loud and proud socker! Ducati guys, put a fashionable sock on whatever you think would sell. Maybe the sock is just not understood. It was put here not to cover up, but to fill a void.

  10. Wow, that guy is just as annoying, if not more so, than Scotty Kilmer. Most of the beef I consume is at home, which means it's locally grown and butchered, or it's deer meat. I've tried the impossible Whopper. No thanks. We all know that processed foods are a problem, and it doesn't get much more processed than fake meat. I don't need to live forever. I'll take my chances with what I like. That being said, I do try to eat better in a way that keeps my weight down. Less sugar, chips, ice cream, and beer. Plus, smaller portions. Just being lighter will do a lot to extend my life, and the quality of it.
