Author Topic: ShowWest 2004 / Film-Tech Drink Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-06-2004 11:19 PM                        I have been threatening for years to attend, and this year my health may actually prevent me from showing up. So what the hell, count me in! I may actually be able to make it, if I can get a pass for the day. No point in driving down to vegas from Salt Lake for one measley night binger, unless your bob maar.

Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-08-2004 06:04 PM                        Don't ask me why I decided to take valuable vacation time off to hang out at ShoWest... but I am. And my friends Anna and Nick are coming too, and they've never been to Vegas so apparently it's up to me to give them the royal Vegas treatment... so does anybody else want to come along and watch me lose a paycheck or two playing blackjack???  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-08-2004 07:59 PM                     Josh, a good way to get your bike somewhere is to RIDE it. Surely the ice will have melted by March, if not then put some studs in your tires and go.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-11-2004 09:45 PM                        Easy for you to say. I've got about a month of riding experience, or 700 miles, whichever. At any rate I dont think i'm in good enough shape for a 24 hour ride However, if you brought your Gixxer over, I might consider...

Forgetting it that one time is a VERY hard lesson to learn, and you learn it VERY quickly. Why is this thread not in the same forum with the other Film-Tech drink thread?  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-11-2004 10:55 PM                        oooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Sorry to hear that...will..she be...ok?? Doctor? So I'm guessing you F'ed up the calipers, and/or worse case bent the forks as well?

I had the wheel turned coming out of my parking spot and when the lock hit the brake I dropped it. Busted the left turn signal and put a few scratched on the left side of the fairing. My foot was actually caught under the fairing holding up some of the bike, luckily there was another guy there to help get it up off the ground, otherwise I would have had to set it all the way down to get it upright. I hope Phil doesnt read that, I tried to not say "get it up". I learned my lesson.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-12-2004 08:52 AM                        I hate to laugh.. but the famous 'forgot to take the Kryptonite of the rotor' has happened to many.. MANY riders. It's happened to me, but fortunately, I remembered it before I cranked the bike. Once you get in the habit of removing it and throing it in the trunk (or around the frame spar), it becomes second nature and you'l be less apt to forget. Good to hear that you incurred minor damage.. hell, it bruises teh ego more than anything anyway.. LOL... Rotors aren't exactly cheap either. Another method you can use is putting the lock on your rear sprocket. I've used two locks and a Kryptonite chain at the same time in some places. Bottom line is this... If they want the bike. they will TAKE the bike. Doesn't matter if you have a pitbull with AIDS watching it. One thing I absoluetly hate is a thief. ESPECIALLY a bike thief.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-12-2004 01:49 PM                     Yes Jason I would be inclined to agree. It is kind of like locking your car doors, if they want in they will just break the window.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-12-2004 03:29 PM                        ...Or trash the bike  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 02-16-2004 01:42 PM                     Got word today that my vacation time has been approved.
