Hello...My name is Kevin and I have a Motorcycle Problem
To many of our friends there is no question, I’ve got a motorcycle problem. I’ve been told that if you have more bikes than you can put your ass on at one time you’re “Scooter Trash”. Well, I guess that’s me.
I am a living of embodiment of the statement…”You know you have a problem when…”
-you have more bikes than you can put your ass on at a time.
-you would rather look at “Motorcycle Porn” than the free porn on the internet. [Thanks “S”, however, it mostly only applies to guys.:-(]
-you have a subscription to more than one bike magazine and you cross reference the ride reports between them.
-you feel that magazines purposely put the scantily clad model right smack in front of something you want to see on the feature bike.
-you shop for three plus weeks to save $10.00 on a new shiny farkle for the bike.
-You think: If I “Brown Bag it” to work for the next 3 months or so, I can get those EBC brake pads, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Racing Levers, and ultra-light rotors. (You know, the items you’ve been drooling over and shopping for on the internet for the last 3 weeks.)
So far I have 3 bikes in the stable a defunct 82 Harley Roadster in pieces, a Suzuki C50, and now a CBR600f3.
In January I traded my Ninja 500r for the more substantial CBR600f3. I’ve wanted to move up to something with a few hundred more cc’s and a little more snap for awhile. The CBR meets those needs and more.

New Bike: (Crappy Dealer Photo)
She’s liveried in the ’98 Black, Tan, and Dark Crimson paint scheme. As I looked about the web, for information on the new steed, I found that this paint scheme is often referred to as the Desert Storm CBR. She’s in great shape minus a few scratches on the decals and a crack on the right rear fairing. You may rest assured that replacement decals and the right rear fairing are on order. :-D

High Tech Sex
Tonight on the History channel, Kevin and I watched "High Tech Sex". Now does that say geek or what?
Well, interesting enough, we learned that those geckos on a stick are a Chinese aphrodisiac, well as good for your kidneys. Who knew! (See 2/27/09 posting)
We also learned that there is a scientist who is "successfully growing penises and vaginas (Where? on your forehead?-Kevin) for small animals." We are now awaiting the section on "Condoms and the Male Pill". Riveting Friday night TV for the two geeks.

You Know You're a Geek When....
The following is a cell phone text exchange that took place between the two of us Wednesday, 11, November 2009...The names have not been changed to protect the innocent. :-D
I received an image similar to this pic:
Stella: Do you remember this?
Kevin: Ah yes, the Atlas Rocket I knew it well. Used to be outside though.
[Went to a meeting at work, and realized on the way back that I had committed an error in fact]
Kevin: Or is that the Saturn V?
Stella: Yes, I didn't want to correct you. [So Sweet]
Kevin: Atlas was for Mecury, Saturn was for Apollo Lunar Missions:-) I'm geeking hard!
Stella: Yes UR!
Kevin: I was walking back 2 my desk when I realized my error. I didn't even google it:-)
Stella: Geek
[end transcript.]
Yes, yes I am. :-}
The Name Change
Well it all boils down to the essence of Kevin and Stella...after all, we are just "Two Geeks on a Bike."
Aye...Aye! Captain
Congratulations! to our friend Chris Larsen for passing his Master's 100 Ton Near Coastal US Coast Guard test! This means that Chris is a bonafide Sea Captain and can assume the helm of a vessel with up to 320 souls!
Again, Congratulations from Kevin and Stella!
