Me, A Pirate?

Are You a Pirate or a Ninja?

My Result: Pirate

Arrrh, shiver me timbers if you're not the greatest pirate who ever sailed the high seas! We could try and be nice and say that you're not all bad, but we know that if ye were the captain of a ship of raucous savages ye wouldn't spend any time training them to explore their sensitive side. You'd probably be boarding luxury cruise ships, ripping pearl necklaces off ladies, and looting the men (after stripping them of their credit cards and cell phones of course). Long John Silver, Blackbeard, and Captain Hook all have nothing on you.

You could probably rob someone blind and still leave 'em feeling glad that they met you — even if you made them walk the plank! While you have one sea-weary eye on a treasure trove, your other eye (assuming you're not wearing a patch) is making sure you're always seen strutting your stuff and looking mighty fine — wooden leg and all.

What are you?

Brad's New Toy!

Okay, I got a new toy also but hadn't put it up on here yet because I was waiting to do some mods first. Here is my 'Almost New' 2006 Suzuki DR-650SE Dual Sport Bike.

Of course, since David (my new father-in-law) got his early last year, I have been toying with the idea of getting something to ride off-road but still be street legal. This bike has been sitting at Ken's Cycle Center in Highland Springs for almost a year after someone traded it in not long after he bought it. The story is that the guy was around 300 pounds and needed something a little bigger so he bought a street bike that was a lot bigger.

David and I put the gas tank, seat, skid plate, highway pegs, and idle adjuster screw in the past Saturday morning and it didn't take long at all. I installed the handlebar riser in 5 minutes last week. I am waiting on a computer (LED Speedo, Tach, Temp, etc) to come in this week to install maybe next weekend. David says he might get the same thing if it all works out.


Some say I might be having a mid-life crisis but I just think I decided that I am not getting any younger (Birthday Feb 19th, age 44) and I like having these toys. I just have to be careful to not get myself hurt too bad to put me out of work! Safety, Safety, Safety!
