I still prefer (and miss) my old '77 Kawasaki KZ1000. That thing was wayyy too fast for a sane person. :twisted:

I had to give it up when the annual insurance cost exceeded what the bike cost me when I bought it. That happened to co-incide with the arrival of the first born male child, but I'll never blame him.

It's those danged greedy insurance weasels what made me sell off my bike!]]> Opinions and Polls kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/who-here-rides-a-harley/paged/2/#post-174315 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/who-here-rides-a-harley/paged/2/#post-174269 Sun, 30 Apr 2006 04:10:33 +0000
Sports-related injuries, I've been very lucky - only quit playing cricket a couple of years ago, the knees just couldn't take it anymore - I was a fast bowler - kind of the US equivalent of a baseball pitcher, although I think pitchers throw the ball and there's more strain on the elbow - not really sure about that one though. Strange thing, though - baseball pitchers throw from a standing start, how the hell do they generate such speed? Lots of pitchers are faster than 95mph - I can count on my thumbs the number of fast bowlers who can bowl at 95mph or above - and in cricket, a fast bowler takes a run up to generate extra speed....

But a 15 yard run-up, with a leap and a kind of un-natural twist, takes its toll on your body over the years....it takes me about 10 minutes to get my knees working in the morning, once they're unlocked I'm OK - I can walk, run, squat, kick - but those first few mins after waking up - hell, I wish I could Sleepwalk (cue Johnny and Santos song!) then they wouldn't be as stiff.....

It would be interesting to contrast the injuries suffered by a baseball pitcher to a fast bowler in cricket.....

:D :D :D

I wouldn't really say that I am accident prone. But when I was young I was very much into what they call today Extreme Sports. I skateboarded for years and was very good. Several kids in my neighborhood became pros and they learned from me. I also surfed for many years as well as my brother. I have been in huge waves.

Yes, I am a little proud. :D

I also raced a little Motocross, played football, baseball, tennis, water-skiing. I was very active. And all of these sports are risky. My many injuries were really very normal for anyone who does these things.]]> Opinions and Polls Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/who-here-rides-a-harley/paged/2/#post-174224 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/who-here-rides-a-harley/paged/2/#post-174223 Sat, 29 Apr 2006 23:07:10 +0000 With your track record Wes????? If I were you, I wouldn't even look at them. :P


*Note to others who never read the "injury" thread some time ago, Wes is accident prone. :lol:

That is, until he let the bike dump over as I was watching him. I will never forget how embarrased he looked as he struggled to pick it up. :D

I have never been on a Harley, but I owned a dirt bike when I was young, even raced a little. And I have the scars to prove it (stitches over both eyes for starters). I would love to have a street bike but there is no way at today's prices. It would be great to cruise in the country.]]> Opinions and Polls Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/who-here-rides-a-harley/paged/2/#post-174215 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/who-here-rides-a-harley/paged/2/#post-174207 Sat, 29 Apr 2006 22:04:29 +0000
