...at the BARF 5th Birthday Bash...I put my foot down at the last minute, I was getting greedy, lost my concentration, and I was almost at the finish line.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

How did the guy with the sidecar end up?

Looks like you were beating Gary in that picture. Who ended up winning?

Damn Ninja 250 riders.  Wearing the awesome gear, winning the races and racking up the bitches.

front end is too rounded to be a 250.... probably a 500.

Heh, that "squid" is one of the top racers in AFM, and he is on his 250. But I don't think he is going one-handed. If you notice his wheel is pointing left, so you probably just can't see his bars behind the middle guy.

Scratch has a little wobble to the right, but nothing like the other two.

He couldn't keep the sidecar's wheel off the ground, and then in the middle, he rolled too far to his right and put his knee down.  It was a good show and try, though!  Very entertaining!

I would have beat Gary if I hadn't put my foot down, so he won by default.  But, I couldn't have stuck around for the finals, because I had promised my dad I would help him build floorboards for his shed.

Yes.

You see how long you can stay up without putting your foot down.  I put my foot down and got disqualified.

Only because you don't chew slowly. You should savor the texture and aroma of chocolate pound cake.
