just wanna say sorry to Loonette 1st, i didn't start on a blog yet since i thought my blog had to be about riding.

also, it was new glove topic w/ extras, nothing advanced so i just put it there on beginner biker's forum.

again i apologize Loonette. :(

now i know a blog here can be about anything. so i'll just put that topic here.

got my gloves from fed-EX today... i love them! they look so cool!

That first post scares me... :ninja: :ninja:

That bike is a nice looking bike.

I want a .45

I want a Katana too. Though i think i'd like a pair of them shorter swords (wakasashi? prolly spelled wrong) instead.

I think i could handle a pair of wakizashi in terms of strength, but skill is another matter. My step dad has one of those swords that you pull apart so it's two blades, that sheath eachother in the other sword's grip. The blades are about as long as the handle. those were cool, but felt rather akward to handle. Oh how i wish i coulda kept taking karate, i'd prolly be near black by now.

those twin blades are just cheap stainless blades. i haven't seen one made a real blacksmith.

they're cool looking, but i wouldn't fight using those. :laughing:

and yeah, i stopped attending my sword class when i got my bike. can't afford it anymore. i wish i'll be able to continue it someday, not only for the black belt but also for the enjoyment of training. :cry:
LOL yeah, they were pretty shitty, but they were also beat the hell up. He and his friend used to have knife fights with them a lot i guess.

I stopped going when i moved and got a job. No time to go :(

I think ya need to work on your trigger discipline a bit more there. :laughing:

Don't forget to actually post stuff about your bike. Preferably more about riding and not about how "cool" it or an accessory is.

If only you had a Suzuki Katana too... then it would fit!

Back when I was younger, one of my friend's parents used to deal with a wholesaler who would get all those swords and stuff that you see in the shops, and at gun + knife shows.... Of course, most of them were complete crap, but we got them for like 5 bucks a piece. So one weekend, we had like 10 of those things (mix between european swords and various weapons... only had one set of those display katana things). Needless to say, battle commenced! Most of them broke at the handle, so we mig welded some grade 8 steel strips at the bottom of the blades, and re-attached the handles over them. Then they held together a bit better! (except the katanas, which basically shattered due to the cheap metal and thin blade).

The most fun to be had was with the 4-1/2 foot long greatswords! haha.
The good thing about the cheapo swords, is that they come so dull that it is basically like hitting each other with steel pipes, but it is still quite fun.

LOL! that sounded like fun.

and what do you mean by "groups"? like i said, im not an expert w/ guns and gun terminolgy.

i do know the basics like safety precautions, disassembling my gun and the basics of aiming.
I suck at explaining anything but basically the patterns you get when you shoot a target, the closer the better. Heres a example Image

yup, its me. the problem with having long hair is, riding tends to knot up the hair that is not under the helmet.
