You know what sucks...not having a motorcycle. Since I got hit by that 80 year old woman and she totaled my scoot, I've been bikeless. AND IT FUCKING BLOWS!!! Everyday is now an exercise in holding back the rage/frustration I feel every time I see a dude on a bike because I want to be choppin' again so fucking bad. I promised my wife and myself I wouldn't go borrow money to buy a new one until all the insurance claims (or whatever legal action we're taking) was done with. To make things worse, dealing with the insurance companies is about as fun as getting your dick cut off. Just when I think I've made some progress and I'm a little bit closer to getting back to splitting lanes, I find out I have to fill out another form and wait another couple weeks to get it processed. This shit is soooo fucking frustrating. I don't mean to whine. I know things could always be worse. I could have easily been paralyzed, or had my face scrapped off by the concrete or even killed. I am very very grateful for how things happened (in the grand scheme of things). At the same time I get depressed/mad/enraged because I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FUCKING WRONG. All I did was go to the store. Anyway...I just needed to vent a little bit. So with all that said, check out this picture of a rad as fuck '69 shovel that I lovingly stole from the dudes at the vice grips blog. This is what I will use as the template for my next scoot. It screams "Fuck you old-lady-that-shouldn't-be-driving-because-when-you-were-born-the-model-T-was-still-around-and-you-have-to-use-a-pillow-to-see-over-the-dash-of-your-car-because-the-cold-hand-of-death-is-pulling-at-your-spine-trying-to-drag-you-into-your-grave-causing-you-to-smell-like-used-depends-and-rose-scented-perfume-mixed-with-moth-balls"...at least that's what it says to me. Maybe I read that a little wrong, but it's still one of my favorite scoots.
Damn man, hope everything works out soon! Glad you dig the bike, I read all that while Ag Front's victim in pain was playing in the background. That's whats up!
ReplyDeleteHaha...that is pretty cool. I've drooled over that thing for a couple weeks. Really good job.
ReplyDeleteDude, call me if you need to vent! I've been where you are! It damn near drove me insane trying to get everything taken care of with these bastards. Spenser & Nick have my number if you need to bend an ear.
ReplyDeleteLater...
yes. i have been there and i am there. i'm $500 away from being on my new chop, but 500 might as well be five million. the weather is cooing off. the sky is beautiful. and i'm on the fucking bus because some douche needed to swerve four lanes without a signal to get on the freeway. it's been over a year... yes. i empathize, man. best of luck with the bureaucrats.
ReplyDeleteAfter you build your next bike, you should find that old lady and get her to pose on it for a pic. That would rule.
ReplyDeletei got hit august 1st and its been such a pain in the ass getting money from the insurance company. no one knows what an old panhead is worth so now i have to get the bike appraised. good luck.
