Juror, when did you become Gamera?

I remember thinking Gamera was the coolest thing in the world when I was a kid.

kato did you know I have a turtle named Gamera?

Dude.

 

[Blitty]

How bad could they be?

I'm not trying to impress any other bikers with cool name brand gear.

 

[Matty]

Dude I thought I was cheap. All my stuff is bargain bin/closeout deals.

This is another level of bargain bin though. Dollar Shave Club level.

 

[Matty]

The gloves you linked actually look decent. I really wouldn't touch that helmet though.

 

[Blitty]

We are ghetto fancy.

I also got a modular one from revzilla, so I will compare and contrast. Then return one of them.

 

[Matty]

Cool. I have yet to find a modular that fits my alien head. I even tried a fancy $1000 Schuberth that almost fractured my skull.

 

[Blitty]

Iron man.

Temp-fixed my turn signal lens with some translucent repair "tape" that looks like the real thing. $10 hack.

 

[Blitty]

[kato]

I officially bought a bike.

Now I have to go 1.5 hours away and drive it back here.

It's cold out and I barely know how to drive those things.

Predicament.

 

[Matty]

Nice!

Can't you rent a large cargo van through Zipcar? That's how I brought back my bike when I bought it. Just need a couple of ratcheting tie-downs to secure the bike.

90 minutes in near-freezing temps is one hell of a first ride.

 

[MrX]

Rent a uhaul?

*Matty beat me to it.
