Hope the little knucklehead learned his lesson from last time.
With training wheels?........
I can’t keep all the cults straight - does Tom get his own planet if he rans this new toy into a wall, or does he float out into space...Aliens eat his body? Someone help me here.
Whole new meaning to “motard”.

Pretty sweet, but over $70K? You can get a 08 848 for around $12k new and you can step into a used 999 for under $10K if you can jump on the deal quickly.

Me too. We’re under the umpteenth winter storm watch this season.
Where’s Xenu when you really need him?
Here in Toronto we’ve been getting mild spells interspersed with some pretty intense cold fronts. Earlier this week the temp went from +8C to -8C within a couple of hours.
Well now ! I’d have been more creative with the gas cap location .........looks like a helluva hump / hickey on her back !
Yeah it is normal here.......we can have a 80 degree day and freeze and snow at night. 4 seasons in 24 hours per se !
Stay safe and Warm ya’ll !
BTW what do ya fly ?
Does Tom have the male version of that bike?
LOL!!!!..............probably..........
When I ets’ed from Ft Hood in Feb ‘71, I hitchhiked to CA. Got a ride that took me up through the panhandle . There was snow on the ground and it was cold as shiite.
Did you get the wind a couple days ago? I think some of my shingles may be in your yard.
I’m no longer current- I trained on C150/152 then regularly rented the C172 after I got my licence. I did a checkride on a Warrior once. I did most of my flying in Ontario but have also flown rentals in GA, FL, MN and Nova Scotia. I stopped flying in ‘03 when the fuel price spike pushed the rental rates here from $90/hr to $135/hr.
Yep only place in the world where ya can get sunburn and frostbite at the pool !
Colder than a well diggers ass according to Slim......;o)
