Let's talk Transformers.
Went to see the new Transformers last night. Before I went, I looked at a review on rottentomatoes. Very poor ratings and the #1 complaints were pretty much spot on. Now lets be clear the overall movie wasn't "Take a lap", but SRSLY! it was so freaking loud. Now when I say loud I mean 2 and of half hours of just screaming in your ears loud. You kind of have to expect that from a Michael Bay film though. It was way too long too and started to drag out. I kept thinking...."Dude! When is this movie going to end?" The reviews may have influenced my opinions slightly, which is why I usually don't look at reviews.
Warning: This part has some spoilers........kind of
Some people are calling it ..... "Transformers 2: The Revenge of Jar Jar Binks" I can see that slightly. It does have these two annoying Autobot twins. Some of the scenes were confusing too. I'm still not sure how the kids parents ended up in the desert in the final scenes. Also at times, I wasn't sure if I was watching Transformers or The Terminator.
Meh...

HFD to me!
Well today is Father's Day and I had a fantastic weekend. Yesterday, M had a baby shower for one of her chicas. While she and Say were at the partay, her husband, D, and I went out and had some fun. We first hit a place on brookside in Tulsa called Sharky's. It's a poolhall / bar place. Pretty cool. We had a few drinks and met up with D's brother-in-law. After chilling there for a while, we moved on to "The Bru House" and had a chilled there for a while til we got the call that the shower was over. When we walked out we decided to hit one more drink before heading home and went to "Crow's Creek Tavern". Had a ton of fun just hanging with the guys.
Today started off with some chocolate chip pancakes. Yum! Then M wanted me to try on a polo for my FD gift. Never found one I liked though, but it was fun hanging with the fam. Then we cooked out.
I haven't had the time to get a Weekly going cause I've been trying to get an electrical problem fixed on my cycle. By process of elimination I figured out that it was the female plug terminal on the left turn signal. I'm going to have to go to Honda of Tulsa or Green country Honda / Suzuki to get the terminal. That sucks, but I'm glad I finally figured out why the fuse kept blowing. I've got a lot of Say footage though. Good stuff too.
The dog, Gretchen, is not ours we dog sitting a weekend or two ago. Say had a blast.
Peacth out!

A few months ago I heard motorcycle theft had gone up. Sportbikes more than cruisers. Now my bike hasn't been stolen, but I am getting cautious. One of the people I deliver to on my route had (and I stress had) a 2008 Hayabusa GSX-R 1300. It was a really sweet cycle. Last week there was a different cycle in his garage and I kind of jokingly asked him why he traded in the beauty for the beast. He then noted the Busa was stolen......right out of his garage.
It doesn't take a whole lot of finesse to steal a motorcycle. All you really need is 2 or 3 guys and a truck or van to lift it up and be on your merry way. The steering columns do have locks on them, but with enough pressure you can snap it without breaking a sweat. The guy who lost his Busa also told me you can jam a screwdriver into the keyhole and start it up. The ignitions aren't that complex.
Today, I went to Cycle Gear to get some cleaner for my plastics on my bike and one of the employees I normally talk to said his 600rr (which was like my cycle) was stolen....at work. Now Cycle Gear is a small store. He parked on the side of the building which is fairly visible and next to a Home Depot. Apparently, the bike was stolen between 3 and 5 while he was at work. That's some serious balls to steal a bike in broad daylight.
The motorcycle parking at my work is right next to the guard shack so hopefully security would have the common sense to intervene or call the police if a truck pulls up to jack my cycle. So what do you do with a stolen motorcycle? Well, the plastics on cycles aren't cheap and you can get rid of those pretty easy on ebay or motorcycle swap meets. I have full coverage with Gap on my cycle so I'm not too worried if my bike is stolen, but it'd still suck. I've worked hard to get it were it is right now. I do really pay attention to cars around me now and if I feel like someone is following me I don't go directly to my house, but I just loop through my neighborhood...... it's a little paranoid, but I feel better.

On the brain
Well....I've got a couple editions of Weekly up for grabs.
Weekly 9 and
Weekly 10. Both good2go. I've been working a lot lately and getting that Chang Chang! All good. This weekend I'm going to go to Hallett again. Still not ready to race, but it's fun to watch and I'll put together a little youtube vid compilation.
M is going to hit one of her friends baby showers in OKC. I'm not a huge fan of the baby shower, but I do love my baby. I've made some good plays in the market recently, but I wonder how the DOW is going to be affected when GM claims bankruptcy. That'll be interesting.....sad though too. I personally don't own any GM vehicle which is good for me. They just really went the wrong direction with their auto plan. The thing I'm sore about is the billions of dollars we already gave them. I think it was inevitable for them to tank. The U.S. government should have just let it happen. Everyone is going to feel it though....imao.
I'm hoping to get my correct tank cover for my fairings kit soon. I'll probably get it at the end of this coming week or beginning of next. I'm so tired of waiting and I'm going to slam the company I ordered the kit from a little. Not too bad, but just a light spanking.
I'm still wanting to see a scary movie. I haven't found it yet. Another horror film is coming out...."Drag me to Hell". Seems kind of lame as it sounds lame. I've heard the Rob Zombie "Halloween" is pretty good, but I'm not going for gore as much as scare.
In TV, I've found a new love "Jon and Kate Plus 8". Yes....I've become a fan. I think I like the controversy that surrounds them more than the show itself. Big Brother is supposed to start pretty soon. All of my other regular shows are done. I still haven't seen the finale or the Lost season. I watched the first episode and then went for the second and the audio was off. Now I can't find a good DL and I'm stuck. May just have to get that on DVD.....we'll see. Jay Leno is ending. I'm watching that right now.

This pic taken in May 09..... little more hair in this one.
It's quite a change.... makes me sad
Still waiting on my fairings

Recent Stuff in May
A few things going on......
I recently ordered a new set of plastics for my motorcycle. They are Repsol replica plastics. I love the paint scheme on the Repsol motorcycles, but an actual Repsol cycle is fairly expensive and you can't really negotiate on price as most people will pay full price for the bike. So I got the next best thing which is the replica plastics. I made my order on the 20th of April and just got it this past weekend. I was extremely happy with the quality, but the gas tank cover got painted the wrong color. I'll send them and email with the pictures and call them to see what I need to do. Hopefully, they don't hose me, but it's clearly painted the wrong color as it's not what's advertised on their site.
Season 5 of "Lost" has wrapped up. I'm now in the process of doing a back to back "Lost" marathon. That'll be fun. The only thing that sucks is I was reviewing the episodes I DLed and found out the second episode audio is off. I looked for a better copy and nothing, so I'm just going to have to try and sit through that episode without pulling out my hair. I saw "The Office" cliffhanger coming. It seems like Andy and Dwight are getting ready to get back into the dating game. Dwight and Angela getting back together and Kelly (recep) and Andy. It'll be and interesting next season.
We're headed out to Mayfest today in Tulsa. I've blogged on it before. It's a festival that showcases artists from Tulsa and the surrounding states. It's pretty fun. There are bands, food, and of course art to smooze around. Saylor was too little last year to take, but we're hitting it up full force this year.
Speaking of Saylor, she has a slight cold which she got this past weekend and her nose has been running constantly. She hasn't had a fever or anything.....Just the sniffles. We're still planning on going to Illinois for the Memorial Day weekend. Probably leave Friday night or early morning. We shall see.
Irritated about the fairings.
