(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1/Onlypastrana199/bluemirrorexo700.jpg)
and a pair of Fieldsheer Four Season mesh pants :cry: I got fatter though so I gotta send them back and get a bigger size...size 4 from Fieldsheer does NOT equal normal size 0...its like... :o tiny!
It's a good thing you had clothes on while taking that picture Pastrami. You don't wanna end up like that Ebay guy with the kettle.
:laugh:
Those blue mirror visors look good, don't they? :thumb:
:laugh: :laugh: yeah i was like..ehhh no one can really see me...cause i look like crap right now..but my room is far more messy than I am!
When i first got the visor i was like..this isnt very mirror-like...but when i put it on it was much better! I'm happy with it now :thumb: just dark enough if only it was anti-fog!
I thought the same thing when I recieved my Icon visor in the mail. I opened the box, all excited, then then the excitement was gone... I knew it wasn't clear, but it definitely wasn't a mirror finish...
...until I installed it.
:laugh:
PS. It DOES look like your room is a bit messy... :laugh: :thumb:

20Q's is like a little electronic game that asks you questions and tries to guess what you're thinking.
And the toothbrush is always in my stocking, I dunno, its not like I only get 1 a year, but this year it was an Oral B pulsar electronic one... I like it....
20Q is scary! :laugh:

Oh and theres a secret santa thing at work... havent had the party yet.
how can you not have had a christmas party yet? Ours was on the 16th.
It wasn't until after we left the part that we realized how great our christmas party at work is...some of the people who showed up went home with a couple hundred bucks in cash prizes and we all took left-overs home with us. Kalee's dad works for the county...they have a party but everyone who goes has to pay to attend AND bring food.
I remember our secret santa two years ago... I had one of my managers, and another manager had me... He gave me (as a gag) a 10lb block of salt lick. :laugh:
His real gift was a gift card to an auto store, but we had more fun with the salt lick. :cheers:

GSTwins could do a gift swap, or even a toys for tots thing. Say $20 amount and randomly assigned secret santas. Maybe next year.
Or, ppl who donate new toys to toys for tots or the like can photo their donation and receive GStwins stickers, etc.

GSTwins Stickers are a myth... they don't really exist.
:laugh:
GStwin sticker are about as hard to come by as a girlfriend that cooks, cleans, drinks beer, rides bikes, and digs chics.
There's no such thing Is there? :dunno_white:
re: GSTwins stickers
Ill make this a project and keep you guys posted.
Im thinking clear with different color letters or outlines, like black outline/silver body, see-thru body, or maybe different combinations for different stickers or on different letters.
Any input on which sticker types would be best, or what size would be best (designed for which part of bike?) would be appreciated.

My wife does all the above except the digs chics.
Got my wife a GPS
Got my son clothes, toys ( to many according to my wife ) and ummm more toys.
I got nothing yet. . . don't know wife said it didn't arrive yet. . .
Remember: many of the new 07 helmets have had their release date pushed back to January 20th!! So keep your fingers crossed.
I got a new car stero that has a 7 in video monitor/DVD/XM/iPod connection, a portable DVD player with 9" screen, a Men's Warehouse gift card, Barns and Noble gift card, The Long Way Around DVD, Saving Private Ryan DVD (you're welcome Europe), and $150 towards some new Pilot Powers for the spring.
I'm happy.
Saints and Soldiers is FAR superior to Saving Private Ryan...and very difficult to find..I think I bought the last copy in Upstate NY...all the websites were sold out too...maybe ebay..but you should see it if you're into that type of movie...I saw it on the big screen before it was out on DVD...one of those movies that blew my mind :thumb:
Never heard of it. :dunno_white: But I'll keep my eye's peeled. I wonder if it is on Netflix.
Heh, my girlfriend and I asked each other for socks. She got me (as requested) some motocross socks because my current ones always fall below the top of my boots. The ones she got me have no chance of doing that, as they are "tall" motocross socks, meaning they go up to my thighs.
I got: Quake 4, Call of Duty, FX-55 cpu, 1gig of corsair ddr ram, a small black & decker rechargable screwdriver, "Walden" (Hardcover) by Henry D. Thoreau, a 3 day ski trip, and a pack of each: socks, boxers, and under shirts.

Holy crap. You have some cultured and financially stable friends/family who gave u well thought out, highly specific gifts. Lucky bastard. :icon_razz:
re Saints and Soldiers... I totally forgot I saw this movie... which means it didnt really stand out for me. I think it was really good... but didnt resonate with me as much. On the other hand,
Band of Brothers :o :o :o :o epic. For all time. And the speech by the old hispanic vet in the extras was really touching. He was like, "I love you all like my own brother".

You dig chics? Congrats!
I like the motocross lid, Stephen. And then do you just wear goggles with that when you ride on the street? Do people ever wear street helmets when they ride the motards, or other street gear?
thanks Jake. I only had street gear when i first got the motard, which works fine on the street. But soon after I got a set of knobby tires and started riding trails... didn't take me long to figure out a street helmet is way too hot riding slow trails in the summer.
I have a really short commute to work (like a mile), so in the summer I generally wear a mx helmet and sunglasses. For trail riding I do have goggles, but I only wear them in really dusty conditions. I also use safety glasses on the trail too with the mx helmet. It all depends on the conditions.
I find the break-over point about 55-60 mph, where if i'm gonna be riding at high speeds I only want the street lid as the mx just gets pushed around by that big visor... but at lower speeds running around town i'm usually wearing the mx lid, except when its freezing :thumb:
As time moves me closer to the age of enlightenment, I find that the motards are getting closer to my heart as well. Not as a sole means of two wheeled transportation, but as a second. I still have to have a liter-twin sport bike to make my eyes bug out of my head from time to time.
