POG PUB April 2018 (LC, NSFW): Easter Fools - Page 10

Plus the adrenaline rush you get riding a bike is tough to beat. Especially on the freeway (I don't do that anymore). Sometimes I would walk into my office and could feel my legs shaking from the high.

Don't drive high.

I still can still remember the feeling from completing my first solo skydive 23 years ago. It lasted a week.

Also for some reason, I can clearly remember the visit to the nearby McDonald's that I ate dinner at right after the jump. It seems as clear as yesterday. A 6 piece chicken Mcnuggets and 2 bbq sauces, fries and a medium coke to drink. Weird.

I think class to riding is reasonable, I did it. I stuck to streets of 35mph or less until I had some experience. The ability to beat traffic is legit, but that comes after even more experience.

Take the class, filthy; you will regret it if you don't. You will also get a better idea of whether being a motorcyclist is right for you.

Agree with this, even if I think it's a bad idea in general.

people keep telling me this is an insane idea. i've never ridden a motorcycle, and they think 3 day course isn't enough. but they haven't ridden either and don't know what they'r talking about. but i don't know what i'm talking about either. i guess we'll see.

I mean, he lives in SF, of course there are. He can stand within 10 feet of Barry Bonds and let him take batting practice swings.

What tweet pushed you over the edge? Did the comet video not impress you?

At least you still have Jeff Bezos tweets to enjoy.

does anyone ever fire up twitter and while scrolling down your feed you forget what site you're on and think to yourself "This Imgur dump is pretty weak"?
