MOTO-HO!
brad + i went for a ride today. we got dinner @ wendy's, drove to 7-11 for smokes + took the back roads to brad's house. so far i've learned i go too fast + follow too closely. woooooOOoOoOooOoo! brad says i gotta get some daylight rides in before i can get on the freeway. i'm skurrrrd!
WHERE ARE MY TAIL LIGHTS?
i got my tail lights! woooooOOooOoOoOoo!
YES I KNOW, WE'RE DORKS... OH BTW MEBEEM ROX!
brad's staying put on the eastside tonight + i'm a jello zombie in seattle. he forgot his phone at my house so i couldn't even call him. in comes the mebeem video chat plugin to the rescue. it's pretty handy + not os/chat client specific. rock on mebeem!

LYNWOOD CYCLEBARN REVIEW = POOR!
1) you guys charge me over the phone for my parts and tell me it'll arrive within 3-5 days
i call to check on the status since it's been 3-5 days...
2) you guys cant find my order even though you guys already charged my account
3) you guys also tell me that whom ever i spoke w/ was lying to me about stuff arriving within the 3-5 days and i was looking at something more like 7-10 days
my bf drops off my wheels so i can get my tires replaced...
4) you guys tell me you'll call me back to tell me the status of the order that you lost + never end up calling me back --- when you do find my order it's under the wrong name, "san fan", even though i told the guy "san juan, like the san juan islands" and he was like "ok got it" (btw the san juan islands are a prominent land mass found in the pacific northwest)
5) you guys tell me over the phone that installing my new tires on my wheels will cost $20/ea, but end up charging my bf $25/ea when he goes to pick them up after they finally arrive (which i had no knowledge of b/c no one called me!)
my bf can cut a chain, but can't rivet it...
6) he purchases a chain from you guys and asks you to cut + rivet it + you proceed to cut it sans riveting + end up charging him full-price for a half-ass job!
seriously, wtf! this is by far the worst service i've ever experienced dealing w/ motorcycle people. i expected a lot more out of you guys since this is my first bike. probably, most likely, never shopping @ lynwood cycle barn ever again!
ps: lynwood bent bike is the shit! someone inquired if there was anything he could help us find + proceeded to point out where we could find what we needed. he was super friendly too! i would def do biz w/ bent bike again.

NEW FRESHWATER SETUP
TMOBILE MMS TEMPLATE SUX SAD FACE
-----
UPDATE: OMFG! i think i've figured it out! wooooOoOOoooo! so i got picture message working again, but was having trouble w/ the post formatting. i read somewhere that if i want to get rid of all the tmobile template cruft, all i have to do is include a "#" at the end of my mms msg! apparently, the "#" magic works but renders the bloody "#". whatever! at least it works, right? yay!
ps: if your blog isn't working as it should, check out http://draft.blogger.com/home! it's how i ended up resolving my mobile blog issues.
THE BAA-STUDS!
this is seriously awesome! i wish i could get kasper to DO shit like this... then again, he wouldn't be kasper if he did...
DAINESELLA D-DRY BOOTS
these are the boots i'm bidding on...
hopefully, i win this auction too. i think boots are the last things on my list of needed gear.
-----
UPDATE: i won! i won! a whopping $95 bux! wooOOooOo! considering the cheap-o brands at bent bike were going for $160, $95 (incl shipping) is a major score for a pair of dainese boots.
ps: dainese = the hot shit moto-ho gear --- in case you didn't already know... :)

FUNNY PERSONAL AD...
this personal ad cracked me up! if you really were "amazing" you wouldn't be putting up a personal ad b/c you'd draw smart/beautiful/good/equally "amazing" people to you in real life like magnets w/ that "amazing" personality of yours. if anything your ad says "enough about ME... let's talk about you... and what YOU think of ME!" now why would anybody waste their time buying your hype? wow! seriously, some people... *sigh!*
yes, i'm a hater... it's been one of those days! *sigh!* :P

TMOBILE SUCKS! GRR!
tmobile is pissing me off something awful! grr! i can't make any mobile blog posts for some reason, which means you're missing out on moto-ho pictures + updates. gah!
GUESS WHAT? I BOUGHT A MOTORCYCLE! WOOOOooOooOOoOoOOo!
i'm too lazy to get up and go outside to take a picture, but this is pretty much what it looks like:
we picked it up for $800! not bad, huh? runs great! at least around the block... it's a 1995 ninja 250. it's got cracks all over, but luckily all the damage seems cosmetic, nothing structural. it's a project bike that's for sure! just need a little TLC...
also, scored on some new pirelli mt75 tires for $127 front + back! woo! definitely take the time to shop around!
now all we need is a fiberglass repair kit, sandpaper, a couple cans of paint, replacement tail + turn lights and we're set! :)
