I was out last night and noticed a young boy, 13ish in a mini-van with his dad eying my bike at a stop light. So I grabbed the front brake and broke out the rear for a few seconds at about 6K or so. The look on the boy's face made my night...

I bet he wants a bike now...take that parents!

 

lol thats great

 

And now UR da same reason he won't be allowed to geta sportbikeor his older, bangin sis won't be allowed out with me. Thanxs!!!!

 

I think the look of a man in a mini van has to be complete hopelessness...100 times out of 100, because he has lost his ********* and handed them to his wife.

 

HAHA! I agree. One of my late ex'sparents had a minivan and a brand spanking new Ranger Rover. Guess who drove the minivan? HE did. I already told my GF now that there's no way in hell thatwe're getting a minivan when we have kids.

Maybe you did make his day but next time, I'm sure that just a nice "wave" and a "thumbs up" or something would do.

Hey I almost resemble that remark. Ok, things are better now. My wife's got the M3 and the Lexus. I've got the Chevy truck and my "*********" back in the form of the 600rr.

 

3 Kids + Dog=> 7+ Passenger vehicle
Small/Medium SUV (Equally dorky and way smaller thanMinivan) = 16MPG
Large SUV (Very sexy) = 11MPG
Minivan = 20MPG
Gas >= $3.10/Gallon

Minivan becomes Sexy (OK liveable) - Ya think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it!

Oh, & Stop that burnout $hit at stoplights by my van friggin squid.

 

No matter how much gas costs I will never own a minivan.... unless they somehow between now and when I find myself owning 3 kids become the car of choice

 

What's up Sparky.

 

Two kids, two dogs, two canoes and a two week camping trip. Hmm, I think minivan is the way to go. I had one until my kids got big enough they didn't usually travel with us anyways. Then I got a small hatchback that handles like a dream and has all-wheel drive. I'm not a fan of SUV's - had one, big on outside, small on inside and handled like crap.

And I really don't get burnouts. What would have impressed my son would be a good-looking bike, well maintained ridden by a guy with class and style. Burnouts and wheelies would have had him laughing at you.
