  1. Yup, mine was red too. I've seen blue and yellow too. My older brother rode too and I used to "borrow" his CB750 when he wasn't home. My mom hated bikes, so when I got the 400, I had to hide it at a friends house until I was sure she wouldn't throw me out of the house for buying one. It took 30 years, but I finally got her to go for a ride. She wasn't impressed.
  2. It's a shame about John. Hanging with his dad sounds like a fun afternoon! Were they originally from Mass? LOL I'm surprised I haven't seen that a on a bumper sticker yet!
  3. Very nice! It must have been a blast to ride with the new cam and suspension. The Bettencourt name sounds familiar. Weren't there a few Bettencourt brothers in racing? He does sound like a nice guy.
  4. Ouch! Birds suck too. My first street bike was a '75 CB400F. I loved that bike. Did you build yours or buy it modified?
  5. Yup, I wore a full face Arai during the crotch rocket years Bugs suck. Even if you flipped your visor up for a sec, you'd get one in there. I just use a half helmet now, but I've also got a windshield for the pesky rocks and bugs.
  6. Stupid tree took a swing at me!
  7. I'm still liking S5's post. Use existing technology to encourage umps to improve and dispense with the personal K zones. If they can't or wont improve, they work fewer games.
  8. And just how much space do you think is behind that mask? I've been hit in the face while wearing a full face helmet. Got a nice gash from glasses I had on. I can easily see the same thing happening with whatever contraption is put in there.
  9. I'd be more concerned with what kind of damage glasses of some type would do to an ump's face when jammed by a foul ball, but that's just me. Just ask Mike DiMuro how hard a foul ball hits.
  10. That's reasonable.
  11. Wouldn't hurt to ask, but I certainly don't want the Sox doing KC a favor by giving up very much for him.
  12. If there's a way to assist the umps in getting more calls right, I'm all for it. But, totally automated pitch calling would suck. Bad umpiring isn't enough to make me stop watching the game, and for all the hand-wringing about how bad it is, I doubt anyone else is ready to stop either. I'd have to seriously consider it, if pitch calling were completely automated.
  13. Yup, the Sox don't really have a choice. Buchh will get another shot at starting.
  14. Yeah, that's definitely getting off on the wrong foot.
  15. Shields' Chicago debut: "The boos started after Shields walked the second batter of the game en route to a four-run first inning, intensified after each of the three home runs he allowed — three in four batters — and reached a crescendo when he was yanked after allowing a single to the leadoff batter in the third inning. Struggling with his fastball command, Shields was charged with seven runs on eight hits." Damn! We could've had him!
  16. Thanks. Well done with the avatar!
  17. I don't think he's good enough to put up with all the baggage. Watching him pitch against the O's again would be fun though!
  18. No one is saying this is the staff that should go to the playoff, so the "can't win in the psotseason" is stupid. What people are trying to point out is that DD doesn't need to make a deal tomrrow. I swear some people misread s*** on purpose....
  19. Yup, stats are awesome, until they show something different than one has already decided is true.
  20. Yup, I'm fine with agressive baserunning, if you're forcing the defense to make a good play and the situation (number of outs, defender in question...) calls for it.
  21. That's one hell of a bucket list she had. God bless her.
  22. Thanks. Not so bad last year. Just brutal the year before. Interesting that they were below average in '13. Guess it's not that big of a deal, in the long run.
  23. So, we're back to "idiots" being a negative now? Dang, I need scorecard for this s***...
  24. Any idea how they rank vs the previous year or two?
