I did that when I was 16.I had an 89 Mazda B2200 SE5 with a camper shell and a matress.I toured the south eastern coastal states.I would park behind the big rigs at a truck stop.I'd walk up between the trucks,pick out a company name and truck number,tell the cashier the info and ask for my free shower with the truck fuel up.I would even get free fountain drinks.It lasted until I was nineteen.I'd work thru fall and winter,travel thru spring and summer.Wish I could go back.

Oh, then its only a matter of time before disney buys it and turns it into a "family oriented restaurants and starbucks and boutiques" type of place ... I mean experience ... like 42nd street in NYC.
Cool.

How do you know Disney hasn't already bought it and is running it as their 'the world is a harsh place' themed park??

[The Buddha]

Naaaaaa .... I think some F&*ked clown (like a donald trump wanna be) will want to clean it up, put some condo-hotel's there and have a gorgeous quaint little cafe bistro and a starbucks there and make it all fu-fu ...
Idiots will buy unwanted crap and turn it into completely useless and expensive crap if money is cheap. Some solid inflation with accompanying double digit interest rates will really help though.
Cool.

I agree you where a bad bad girl, and should be spanked while wearing your leather pants

lol


welcome back on two wheels... patience, you don't want to agravate that ankle alot it will add weeks of healing to the process, I know... I used to do it all the time on a broken fibula, until the doctors placed me into a wheelchair and a cast to the knee to prevent me to walk on my foot. took 6 months for me to repair my ankle instead of usuall 8 weeks. cheers...

I rode the bike yesterday to the store and honestly it hurts less to ride the bike than to drive the car  . Unfortunately, I don't know how to get the crutches on the bike I was thinking maybe I could use a cane. Gas is just getting so darned expensive that $50 a week just to drive around to all my docs ain't cutting it. I am supposed to find out next Thursday if I will need surgery. I know today at work I was called in and ended up having to do some stairs and quite a bit of walking and tonight my ankle was huge. I want to ride desperately just not at permanent damage to my ankle.

As far as Disney itself goes it is hell! I worked there for eight years seven in various attractions and my last in security at Downtown Disney. It has gotten nasty down there too. I am so amazed at how disney keeps krap out of the news. Our motto down there was come on vacation leave on probation. The worst part about working security down there is you were not supposed to touch the guest even if they kicked your ass. I had a fellow co-worker walk into the BET club while a drug deal was going down he got three broken ribs and a head injury and he got reprimanded for getting hurt. Another jumped into the lake in the back to save an officer who was trying to save another person and he was getting pulled under. Well, the cast member handed his radio to a guest so it wouldn't get ruined and saved both from drowning he got a formal reprimand for not keeping up with his equipment! Go figure.

In downtown Orlando esp the Parramore district they are trying to build all tha fancy condos and bistros and such but they don't know where to put the homeless people and crack heads. They were trying to push them from OBT, to Parramore, to I think most are being pushed into Silver Star. It's  a problem the town thinks will go away if the charaties would just stop feeding them. That will solve the problem right!??!

But, all is good they built Holy Land. Where they crucify Jesus everyday and you can help!

Ahh, my "City Beautiful" !

Crackheads: nobody wants em around but the damn government won't let ya hunt em

Good luck at the Docs, watch out for those surgeons, they're freakin seriously disturbed individuals.  Seriously given the choice of having to sleep in a room with a drunk Green Beret or a surgeon, I would choose the grunt any day of the week.

[bucks1605]

Bad experience?

[spc]

no, surgeons are just really nutso.  That means a lot coming from me, I'm not generally considered the most sane of people.......

holy shaZam!...this is too funny. Never thought OBT would a topic of discussion on gstwins. In Orlando OBT is basically where most of the nasty hookers and drug dealers hang out....the whole road has a bad rep. Althought there is an AWESOME motorcycle mechanic on OBT, near the SR 50 intersection.  Charges half of what CycleScammers I mean CycleRiders of Orlando charge.

ha this is SO funny to hear another GSer talk about these issues. Mary, you know they arrest you for feeding the homeless these days. Totally ridiculous.

Hey where do you work? At LM in Research park at UCF? I ride through there everyday. btw post pics of your bike 

[Toogoofy317]

I work at the Lockheed Main Plant located at Sand Lake and where Kirkman dead end's at. Who in their right mind thought of that? Let's take one of the busiest tourist road's and have it dead end in a missle contractor plant! So, about 500 times a day I have to tell the tourons no this is private property and you need to go that way. "But, my GpS made me come through here".  I seriously doubt your GPS system held a gun to your head your just too damn dumb to read the signs.

I used to live in Winter Park was told it was the nice part of town yeah right! Had my car broken into and stole everything even the amp that was bolted down. One day was riding my bike and passed out ( heart went haywire) I was accross the street from the hospital No one bothered to call 911. When I finally came to I was sunburnt and dehydrated didn't know where I was. EMS finally had to ping the GPS on my phone. Turned out there was a guy mowing the lawn about 100 feet from me when EMS asked why he didn't help "he thought I was asleep". Then they let him hold my $300 bike! At least they got his name and phone number.

As far as surgeries I'm about afraid of them as you are SPCTerry. Had a surgery in October supposed to be a same day outpatient surgery. Well, since I have terrible veins they apparently had to get a bigger IV access so they used my neck for a central line. It was pulled out while I was asleep so really didn't notice it. Was having a lot of chest pain after words they chalked it up to my krapped out heart. What happened was when he was removing the central line he nicked the lung and it partially collapsed. The nurse called the doc about the pain but didn't tell him it was right sided chest pain. So, gave me a shot of pain meds and sent me home. Next day at primary's and had to be admitted for it! When they did arthroscopy to my knee my heart acted up and so was admitted but they forgot to tell the surgeon my knee was immobolized for three weeks when I should have been moving it the next day. IMHO doctor's here in Florida suck! I"m not even going to get into Shand's on how I got shocked with a defibrillator while awake.

So yes I am very paranoid of doctors these days. I just want Thursday to get here to find out the CT results and get one with the rehab!

nice bike. 
sorry to hear your mis-adventures with doctors.

The real question is, how do you get a handicap license plate on a motorcycle ?? isnt that an oxymoron ??
Don't get me wrong but, doesnt handicap mean mobilitity issue (ie: arm or leg non functioning?)

PS: if you have a heart condition, should you really be riding a bike. ?

[gsJack]

You can get one for a car and it takes no more strength or stamina to ride a bike than to drive a car.  Can be a problem if you drop it though.  If your over 75 and still riding a bike you can get one for being mentally handicapped here.    Seriously, one of the criteria here is how far you can walk without runnng out of breath.  Fortunately I can still ride faster than I can walk, much faster.

Orthopedic Surgeons are just evil people......kinda.......the bastard did fix my thumb, but seriously, looking at pins sticking out of your hand for 6 weeks is a little creepy.

Shands, what do you expect, it's a learning hospital at a major party school   I lived there, way on back in the day when my mom was going to law school.

Pb:  I've got a friend that took 2 bullets in his upper right thigh, extensive neuromuscular damage.  He can still walk though it's painful past a point, but he has no problem riding a bike and is technically handicapped.  What's the problem with that?
