Trying on Helmet

with the summer getting hotter, suppose to be 100 degress tomorrow or thursday, i wanted something a bit cooler...so i tried a few on...i didnt buy this one... but needed to see how it looked, so i snapped a pic so i could see.

Williams Brice Stadium

this is outside view where i work. You can see in the background the huge stadium. That is where the SC gamecocks play football. Not many fans here where I work, cuz on game days, traffic is a nightmare. Thus, they blame it on the team. I do too, Go Clemson LOL I don't really follow college football and I don't like Clemson, If I do pull for a college football team, It's Georgia Bull Dawgs. Basketball - Tarheels baby!

This is it......

The last dew i drink other than at a resturant or something. Which is very hard to find anyway. But I'm gonna try to lay off them and drink mostly water. Gotta be healthy, live long time. Wish me luck, this will not be easy. I can feel a headach just thinking about it. not really but i'll have one for a few days without any caffine.

Grips

These are what I have, I hope to find the right size this week.

Grips Update

Ok, well first off, my buddy from the local scooter club, Rick... offered to help me with the install of the new grips. Everything looked like a go once we got the end weights off. But.... as with everything, there must be a something that goes not as planned. We were about ready to install the new grips and noticed they are too big. They are the 1" and I need the 7/8" . Now i knew this when i ordered, and on the ebay listing it said 7/8" but it also said 1" I read on the forums that I needed part number 6240 and that is what I got. So I don't know if the part number is 6240 for both sizes or not but the 1" bars are not what I need. So now, I have 3 days before I leave for my trip and need to find some 7/8" grips. I cut the old grips off and for the time being I zip tied the old ones back on. This however is not going to work for a 2000 mile trip. So This morning i'm on a mission to locate and purchase new grips.

If anyone has 1" bars and is interested, I'll sell these grips for $50 they retail for around $75 I will have pictures posted sometime today.

Drink Holder old grips

Starting a Blog

alright, seems all my friends are starting blogs these days. I feel it's a pretty cool thing that you can send a MMS from your phone and it posts automatically to your blog. Before I wasn't too much interested, take a picture, save to your computer, upload it, write a little something and post.. whoa, too much work for me. But now, you can post as easy as sending a MMS. As noted somewhere in my blog I am using a Moto Q 9h to post everything on my blog. I snap a picture, not the best quality but pretty decent, hit the send button, type in the addy, type a little message and thats it. You can also post by sending an email or you can log on to your blog and post that way. It's just the coolest thing ever, before i never had a need for a camera or video on my phone, but now i snap pics everywhere i go and let the rest of the world see it (those who are interested or find it though a search.)

Anyway, click "Create Blog" at the top of the page and start blogging today. Share you life in an instant with your friends or family.

once you create an account, make sure you can send an MMS from your phone and send one to go@blogger.com it will reply shortly with a code. Go to your dashboard on your blog and click on the right side of the page where it says something about blog mobile. Enter in your code and on the next page you can link your phone URL to you regular URL and your done. Now test by sending a photo with some text to go@blogger.com and it should post instantly. I have had it take a couple hours, but very unusual.

Happy Blogging
