I'm all about going fast but...

[cefolar]

When some rice licker in an off-white 350Z almost takes out me and my kids on Lakeshore yesterday doing about 90....I've had about enough.

I'm sure someone on this board knows who it is - one word of advice, get some real balls and take it to track day somewhere where the only person you'll kill is yourself...

I know several motorcycle guys have lost their lives on that road, but I can't imagine the carnage that would happen if this douche-bag really lost it and went through someone's house.

[DustnF]

I have a feeling I know who it is...

I have more friends who have wrecked cars or spun off the road on lakeshore then any other road.

[tibster]

Thats sux. Did he have Black Rimz?

[sstony]

that sucks to hear about. don't they have speed humps on lake shore?

[tibster]

^ Only toward the end near merdian.

[slmdLS1]

ask jay how he knows...:mrgreen:

[SS2win]

"Take the Lakeshore Challenge". Back in the day I loved speeding on that road. It was REALLY stupid. Luckily I never hurt myself or anyone else. Guess that's what they mean by young and dumb. :crazy:

[SingleSlammerEX]

Sorry to hear that. People need to learn to be responsible and not retarded

[cefolar]

Thats sux. Did he have Black Rimz?

Yeah - black rims and a big fart pipe.

[tibster]

Yeah - black rims and a big fart pipe.I've seen it around also. Next time he gets :sstony:


Brandon: :nut:

[go_speed_go]

Apparently people like that always think they're in control all the way up to the point where they aren't.

Now, I'm not encouraging this but, I worked with a woman who's neighborhood had a tough time with kids racing and speeding down the streets at night. A few of the residents started placing 10-12 inch tall dark rocks in the road after hearing them make a pass down the street. After a few of them had their oil pans ripped open, they stopped coming around. It was no more intelligent/safe than the idiots speeding, but was a cool story.

It's too bad that something like that would probably put a 90mph idiot into someone's living room.

wow is that stupid. Rocks would have ended up in peoples living room through some windows.

sorry to hear someone raced through your neighborhood, no reason to do 90 i imagine.

As for speed humps, they should be illegal :(

[pendrgn]

I've seen it around also. Next time he gets :sstony:

Dont you give everyone a thumbs down?

[tibster]

Dont you give everyone a thumbs down?YES SIR! :funny:

[cefolar]

Actually not my neighborhood...I was just coming back from Guitar Center on Lakeshore with my 2 kids.

Said douche-bag was coming the opposite way on Lakeshore. He was coming through the real tight 90 deg. corner about 1/4 mile off Meridian half sideways, looking like he had a hard time keeping the car under him.

Like I said -I'm all about going fast (ask Matt aka "OnthegasinFL") and crashing (you can ask Matt about that too). But pick the right place (maybe HWY12) and time (around 2 am) when the chances of you killing someone besides yourself is significantly reduced. Better yet - - take it to a track - - then you'll just bust up the shit you own.

[tibster]

^ Didn't u know "Lakeshore" is the new drifting location in Tally? lol

[BlackPearl]

People in 350z are all douchebags. Skittle owners too...

[scooby]

i know there a guy in tallahassee that wished he wasnt doing 70mph in a neighborhood and ended in someones house.

[Tally TransAm]

i used to sit in a lawn chair right by the side of the road and lob tennis balls of the windshield of people that would haul ass down the street in front of my house growing up.

we lived on a corner too and people always used to cut through the grass on the corner in their cars when turning. a few well hidden and strategically placed jagged rocks fixed that quick

[towelie]

Some little kid in Orlando was hit in his front yard when a guy ran off the road. He hit another parked car and pinned the kid between them (he died before help got there) all he was doing was playing in the front yard after his family had been at the beach. Dude that ran off the road got out then got back in and left but they caught him thankfully.

[Mach-1-stang]

Yeah - black rims and a big fart pipe.

I know the Kid. Warren. I went to SAIL with him for a while, then he went to Chiles. He already wrecked his black 350z and now he has his white one. Hes always telling me how he wants to race me in my Mach. I wont, bad driver, and I don't want to wast my time racing a 350.

Great - a high school douche-bag to boot...he's on his way to being another statistic that gives performance cars a bad name.

I didn't know he wrecked his old black one lol. Figures, i've never liked that kid.

then any other road what?

[DustnF]

then any other road what?

ummmm...then any other road that I know of.

Sorry, maybe I was not clear in expressing my thoughts or perhaps my statement was not correctly structured.

Lakeshore can be a dangerous road. It has decreasing radius and off camber turns. I have many friends who have had trouble navigating the road when driving too fast.

[LD50]

ummmm...then any other road that I know of.

Sorry, maybe I was not clear in expressing my thoughts or perhaps my statement was not correctly structured.

Structure is fine... spelling is 'than'. The question still doesn't make any sense.

Well I don't know what 'off camber' turns are but i've known some drunken idiots than have run their trucks off of that first nasty turn.

[go_speed_go]

An off camber turn is when the outside of the turn is lower than the inside.
The car will have less lateral grip on an off camber turn then a flat turn or on camber (or banked) turn.

[93zm6tally]

But I've been riding a bike for a few days now, and I've already had two instances where drivers acted like I wasn't even there. The first instance was a soccer mom driving a van passing on Crawfordville Highway. If I had been driving a car I would have had to drive on the shoulder to avoid a head on collision. The second incident happened yesterday evening, a car pulled out of Tekesta onto Bannerman, again like I didn't even exist. Pretty amazing considering that my bike is bright red, as is my jacket. Kind of makes me wonder what people are thinking, or maybe not thinking.

Just pay attention and ride(drive)for the other stupid idiots out there. :mark1:

Thanks. This is my first street bike and I can already see that riding takes my complete attention - you can't casually cruise down the road like in a car. I ride like everyone is out to kill me, constantly maneuvering to put myself in a space on the road where I have an out. I also have a great respect for the power capabilities of the bike itself, frankly it scares the crap out of me, and I hope I stay that way.

[tibster]

First rule: Always scan the road ahead and whats around you.

Respect your bike and it will respect you.

If you wanna get more into the bike scene and cruise with a bunch of cool guys and gal hit me up.

[scooby]

It seems red is a very ignored color. When im in the firebird it like everyone around me gets stupid i dont know how many time ive had to lock the brakes or in some case get run off the road.

[SS2win]

Keep your eyes open Mark! My first transportation was a bike. Rode it for two years before I got a roof over my head. I consider myself "bike aware" and yet I've nearly pulled out in front of one. Imagine how I felt as he gave me the one finger salute? They're just plain hard to see in some cases...

What kinda bike you get Mark?

[coonbottom]

Pretty amazing considering that my bike is bright red, as is my jacket. Kind of makes me wonder what people are thinking, or maybe not thinking.
Probably that a red bike is worth 50 points.

[pendrgn]

Thanks I just might do that.

yup, the ride was fun man, come on out, you can hang in the back with me at 100mph. :)

[93zm6tally]

Tried to be conservative for my first bike so I bought a 2008 CBR1000rr. :mark1:

[SingleSlammerEX]

Be careful out there Marky Mark. Just a heads up, the color red in your peripheral eyesight appears gray in color so it isn't as noticeable...

[Slush]

Geeze, shoulda got the yellow one. At least it would have matched the stripe down the middle of my back.8)

[Riceman]

Mark,

You should've got the Z06. Now we all know you're gay.

Sincerely,

Your Friends

[tibster]

^ Got pics?

[pendrgn]

was it during dusk or the day, I dont think the red is that hard to see in full day light, but darker times the eyes dont see red as well for sure since you are using the rod parts of your vision.

Post of some pics man, or did I miss a post on that already? What did you get?

[93zm6tally]

Mark,

You should've got the Z06. Now we all know you're gay.

Sincerely,

Your Friends

What makes you think that I'm not still getting the Z06. And you're only gay if you enjoy it.

[93zm6tally]

No camera anymore so no pics. Besides all you have to do is go to hondamotorcycles.com. Look at the CBR1000rr in red. Mine looks exactly like that for now. I'm planning on getting a rear fender elimination kit - it's the only styling on the bike that I don't like.

holy shit ballz mark, you got a bike? and a sport bike at that.

Yeah the mid-life crisis continues....Just got tired of driving a V6 Pickup, (Shane drives the Mitsu for now), and wanted to get something now. I'd actually been thinking about if for awhile, finally decided what the hell. I took it for a cruise down highway 98 last Saturday and had the most fun I've had in a long while. I really am being careful though, the thing scares me - I've never been on anything that will get you to triple digit speeds so quickly, and I haven't taken it above 8K yet.

[Greg Kulbick]

Always be afraid of it, Mark. The second you're not afraid anymore, it all starts going downhill.

[sstony]

a cbr1000 though?:wtf: i guess all that working out has got your back in good shape. i would've figured you'd be on a VTX 1800 or something


oh, and fix your car and make it faster than your bike

[93zm6tally]

The only working out I've been doing for the last six months has been 12 oz curls. My right shoulder is tweaked, so I need to really modify my workout until I get it fixed. The bike is more comfortable than I thought, but I'll admit my thumbs were a little sore after 200 miles in one day - back was fine.

[pat94cobra]

wow and i thought ive been putting miles on mine. Ive put 150 on mine since saturday

[Bryan02TA]

Mark,

You should've got the Z06. Now we all know you're gay.

Sincerely,

not nearly as gay as letting your girlfriend drive your 500 hp corvette in the rain. You so crazy.

Congrats on the bike Mark...you crazy fucker.

[93zm6tally]

Please Ryan say it ain't so. Isn't that a lot like giving your favorite Muslim Radical a case of C4. :flip2:

[93zm6tally]

404 total since last Friday evening. None today though, I'm dry at work and driving the pickup.

Don't you have some slow vehicles to be driving? :mad:

[Greg Kulbick]

Is this why I didn't see the Corvette in the parking garage? :cry::mad:

[cefolar]

Ok - so Mark - a word of advice, don't go rolling that thing up to 10k on Lakeshore. Bad things will happen - but you seem like a pretty careful guy though (that doesn't translate to gay).

I swear all of you guys must park in the Fletcher garage because I see all of your stuff sitting on level 1.

Who's got the GTO with the "DUSTIN" plate? I park my blue POS GT next to it on a daily basis...

[coonbottom]

I swear all of you guys must park in the Fletcher garage because I see all of your stuff sitting on level 1.
I miss level 1.

Level 4 brings the suck during the summer time.

[Slush]

Who's got the GTO with the "DUSTIN" plate?

It's Dustin's...duh...

[cefolar]

It's Dustin's...duh...

Well - I figured that much - but I thought his was black? Probably don't want to tell him about all the blue door dings on it anyway :crazy:

[DustnF]

It is another Dustin. I have ran into him a couple of times before. Weird coincidence.

[Greg Kulbick]

That's where I park.

[Riceman]

Is this why I didn't see the Corvette in the parking garage? :cry::mad:

You don't see the awesome black pedo-truck parked out there?

[Kinson Cook, Jr]

Sheesh, I don't hear from Mark in ages and now I hear he's got a fracking two wheeler.

[slmdLS1]

wow. mark, be careful if/when you let it get over 8k rpm...the pull will scare you even more. and greg had some good advice, always be afraid of it, no matter what.

[AComa]

I saw warren going down tennessee st. a few weeks ago riding at 5k rpm's and just stabbing the gas once in a while, that shit lasted about a mile.....ricer FTL haha.

[dus10]

Well - I figured that much - but I thought his was black? Probably don't want to tell him about all the blue door dings on it anyway :crazy:

I've been meaning to talk to you about those... :moon:

[93zm6tally]

Sheesh, I don't hear from Mark in ages and now I hear he's got a fracking two wheeler.

It's not "Fracking", it's red old man.:rice:

[93zm6tally]

Oh and now I'm half owner of a four-wheeler, 400 HondaEX. Co-signed for Jason today. Tallahassee Powersports loves me. Anybody need a bike or four-wheeler, talk to Matt, tell em Mark sent you. I'll get another $50.00 gift certificate.

[Slush]

Well - I figured that much - but I thought his was black? Probably don't want to tell him about all the blue door dings on it anyway :crazy:

Yeah, it's Dustin that works in purchasing over at DFS.

[cefolar]

Yeah, it's Dustin that works in purchasing over at DFS.

Ah - Dustin S. - now it all makes sense. Never met, but seen his name on some emails floating around. I'll have to go track him down and give him the bottle of touch-up paint I bought :mrgreen:

[Greg Kulbick]

I think I know which car is yours.

[sstony]

parking garages?...LUCKY!!

wow. mark, be careful if/when you let it get over 8k rpm...the pull will scare you even more. and greg had some good advice, always be afraid of it, no matter what.
