Had a new supervisor talking shit to my co-worker and I yesterday about wanting to understand 'The systems we have' in case "Rick, you might break your leg tomorrow or Jim you might crash your bike on the way to work tomorrow".
Immediately my co-worker says sternly "Don't say that."

the bitch had to go to a meeting and was supposed to come back for a break down of the shit.
All the while right after it was going through my head what Rick said in response and I wanted the cock sucker sup to understand that We here are real superstitious about shit one says and it's impolite to splew out negative hypatheticals.
Just bad karma.

I crashed my katana on the way to work today. 180 spin into a highside right out of my driveway. It's the 1st time the kan got out this year and the lil 600 bogged, popped and went wide open with a new rear tire on it during the lean.

bashed my helmet on the back left side and my right hip and shoulder. Nothing I couldn't shake off yet my hip is hurting from the impact.
busted off the rear peg bent the right clipon busted out the right mirror busted off the front right directional lens and bashed up the ratbike's plastic.
After 1/2 an hour, some epoxy, tape, and a big ass lever arm to bend back the bar I was right back in action.

I've seen tooooo many of these coincidences to believe there are no coincidences and if the mother fucker evr says anything to me again like he did he will first get a piece of my beliefs shoved right up his ass and if he cries like a cum hungry whore I'm gonna do more than bitch slap him.



had fun beating the fucking shit outta the kanatuna though :twisted:

I hear where youre comming from. Last year While leaving Laconia, I pulled my bike next to a friends, shook his hand and said " be safe ", he then rolled out in first gear, at 10mph the bike shut down. Fortunately he is a fireman that spends his free time body building and was able to press the bike up before the plastics touched ground. From that day on I just say "bye". Fucked up shit that karma is :!:

right on By-Tor. I learned That one over a decade ago. The hard way, both ways.


on the other forum I go to some guy tried to be a smartie pants in a reply (my perspective and here's what I had to say...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If he hadn't said anything, you probley would have still crashed your bike, and your post would be all about how good your karma is for not getting hurt worse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



one way to look at it... but experience has shown me whether or not it was preminisional speaking from him or not if he would have kept the negative shwa to himself my chances of not crashing would have increased Greatly because I wouldn't have had the extra garbage in my head.

I'm banged up but not really hurt.
right hip, right knee, right shoulder anda headache.

the plus side of it is I was able to do what I could and slavaged the broken off blinker lens and glued it back on and put the mirror that didn't break back into the busted up mirror stay and glued that back together with tape to hold both till the epoxy dried.
no way to salvage the rear peg though.
gnt

I'm with ya on that one. Two things I never say while on duty "I'm Board" and "Lets go start some shit." The first and last time that I said that my entire shift ended up in a 1.1 million dollar law siute. Always watch what you say.

damn man!!!!! sorry to hear about that :x

just last weekend, we were gearing up, and it was kinda cool outside, and one of my buds looked at me and said" it feels like the kind of night that somebody is gonna go down " :?: :?: i said that he better shut that shit up, but it was too late.....it had already been said, ya know? i jokingly told him, by saying that, that he would be able to keep up with me tonight :D

anyway, a couple of hours later we get "the call" ....another bud was riding with some guys and he under shot a curve (new road to him and not well marked) and went into a 5 foot deep ditch....more like a HOLE....and bounced off of a 2 foot concrete culvert. he was pretty banged up, but still managed to ride it home. after it was all over and everybody was okay.......i just looked that :evil: look at him and he dropped his head. i know shit happens anyway, whether someone says something or not.......but i damn sure don't like "calling" shit like that......and yes, you can fuck up yours and somebody else's karma by saying stupid shit like that :x

good to know others understand :D

Got some nice whiplash today... :lol: maybe I'll call in to work...:rofl:
I felt good proving the new supervisor wrong though since his words were that i might crash my bike on the way to work and not come in....
I went in to work and did a hell of a job.

I talked with my co-worker and he said he was weary all the way home on if he Was going to break his leg... then I told I Did have a wipe and that I feel like I took all the bad luck for him since I Almost was going to have the bike slap down on my tibia and fibula and saw it coming so I goosed it some more to get a lowside out of it but damned carburetors hesitated and it still highsided but not as bad as it was going to be.
real time reactions with the lagging of an 88 kan...lol

I ended up seeing the new supervisor last night on his way out and told him to keep those types of things to himself after I explained it all to him.
He couldn't even look me in the eye once the blade was dropped.
lesson learned??? he's still learning.
it's been said by more than one source that the jury is still out on him. neither of them were me the first one was from my co-worker Angela yesterday after I told her the mojo story and the second one was about an hour after I spoke with her and I went on the internet to read some jokes and the Very First Thing I saw when the page came up was those exact words. No Lie..... coincidence :?: I know Not.


thanks for the support guys. y'all that understand me understand It. :wink:

Coincidence?
About a year ago I was on patrol with another officer. This officer is the type of person who is not happy with a quite day. During his training I always told him "Never say your board. Thats when the shit will hit the fan." We always joked about it but he never said the magic words. Well this particular day we were board, but I wasn't going to say anything, because I knew what was going to happen. This kuckle head looks at me and asked "You Know What?" I seen that shit eatin grin on his face and told him don't do it. Then with a little laugh he said those oh so hated words. "I'M BOARD" I didn't even have time to get the whole "You Motherfucker" out of my mouth and the dispatcher calls. Sends us to a street that we coincidently happen to be turning onto, because she had a call of a woman chasing people with a gun. He just started laughing and I reached down and grabbed an empty Pringles can and threw it at him. There it was right in front of me. A goofy bitch with a gun and proof that you should always watch what you say. We managed to deal with the call without anyone getting hurt. But the other officer learned a valuable lesson that day. Watch what you say.

first off yer all a buncha gay housewives, everyone i know has been telling me ima die non stop for as long as they know me once they find out the shit i do, aside from that, sucks man, and dont sweat it, not nearly as bad as when your going to be caught giving your coworker a shirtless backrub in the sauna at the gym.......

for real, the suck man

I cant fukin beleive that sheet man.....

The 'outer limits' music: do do do do do do do do do do do do.....

WTF is wrong with telling somebody to be safe? Karma to me, is more like what 'goes around comes around'. If I do something to help somebody purely because I want to without asking or accepting anything in return, that's good Karma and vice versa. If somebody goes around messing people up or whatever, for no reason, that's bad Karma and not only will they get what's coming to them, but usually, whoever it was they messed up the worst will be the one that will be given the opportunity to deliver whatever it is they have coming. This is of course, IMHO.

GNT! That stupid ass boss of yours can't mess you up merely by making a stupid comment! FUCK! You are giving some pussy ass piece of shit WAY to much power over you. That's bullshit. They can say whatever they want. BIG FUCKING DEAL! Your stronger than they will ever fucking be because your a GOD DAMN RIDER!
FUCK MAN! Get your shit together. Sounds like your feeling sorry for yourself to me.
Now, get up off your lazy ass and go for a damn ride and have some fun. There is no fucking way in hell somebody like that could hurt you GNT. Unless of course, you give them the power over you to do it. You need to get back in touch with your inner self GNT. You know the one I'm talking about.
Pete

OK, so lets call it voo-doo.

did I just hear check? more like check mate.
P. you Are rigth. no doubt what so ever.

My power it seems is one of anothers transcendence when the power is to be used.
I do believe that I was put up as another example to help stop someone from belittling all of us team mates.
When talking to another co-worker on how this new supervisor thing of his down talking as in worst-case examples she agreed whole heartedly that he needs to stop.
I didn't even ask for her to understand or agree... we were just shooting the shit.

I have noticed that in my life I've been set as an example for many different things in many different ways and I wouldn't mind this one being the last one :wink:
he even said that he thought that I was impervious to such things and most of all the time I Am.
yet at other times it really seems like I'm sitting behind my eyeballs just watching things happen. kinda fucking weird.

and yeha ... kinda feeling sorry for myself to let into yet another befallenment
but your supportive bitchslap is exactly what it is I needed to use as a wake up call.
Thank You. :D
now let me get these buggers outta my eyes :lol:

By-Tor..... my sentiments to apoint.


I still feel I have a few more years to be mature enough to use the strength that life is teaching me. I'll see. thanks Pete.

btw. I've been told that before Pete.
I have witnessed all you've described. I haven't come to grips on why it comes and goes and to be honest... should I?

heck... what matters to me is I haven't been taken out of the game though many times doctors don't know why not. I say it's so that I can go Riding again! :wink:

here's another story for the followers......... (from the other place)
--------------------------------------------------
That reminds me of an incident last year. I was working in a 1-hour photo lab and I once made the mistake of saying, "it's slow." After that I never said it again. Well, a couple weeks later, it was really slow and I clued the new girl in that she should never comment on the state of rate of business. An hour later as she goes on break, she says, "it sure is slow." I tell her, "I told you not to say that kind of s**t." She leaves on break and 5 minutes later a guy comes in with 40 rolls he wants developed in 2 hours! Then, some crazy bitch comes in and yells at me for half an hour complaining about the prints that someone else developed and how I should redo them all and give them to her for free. When I said no can do, she cussed me out for 5 minutes telling me how I had no business being alive/having my job and such. All this because some ditzy new girl f***s with my karma!
---------------------------------------------------

Hey GNT
I really didn't mean that to sound quite so harsh. I don't know how you're feeling about this right now (HAHA), but I've always considered you to be a good friend. I haven't been on the board for awhile and after reading some of your posts, you just didn't sound right. Pessimistic instead of the usual optomistic. This last one, for some reason, caught me the wrong way. I figured, as a friend, I'd tell you about it. That's all.

I haven't come to grips on why it comes and goes and to be honest... should I?


I haven't got a clue. But perhaps if you could become more aware of WHEN it goes, maybe this would give you some clues as to the WHY.

advise well taken. Honestly. every year it seems to be the same cycle while this year is more amplified than the last of which and when you met me.
olderRR. You were the first one to test the waters with me when I first joined and alos the first to give me a whole hearted welcome. You get mucho respecto with all of my gusto.
And I am Vewy vewy Glad to see you BACK!!!!!!!
It hasn't been the same without you bud!
good but not the same. sooooo when are the martini posts coming?lol

the positivity will be back soon enough... but watchout for this bulls horns though, eh?...
LMAO on how at times I'd get psycho on some flap jawed passerby...lol

who was the one that took the cake.... and then ended up being an ok guy at times???... turboblew! he was a funny one fucking with Stuna so badly...

times have been Real peacefull here.that's why I'm such a post whore... trying to not be so consumed by the chaos in the air up here in wi. It's like a strong ass spiritual paradigm shift taking us to some far out parallel.

and Hell Yeah I NEED TO GO RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. you get to ride yet?

This last one, for some reason, caught me the wrong way. I figured, as a friend, I'd tell you about it. That's all.

ohhhh btw... when I was typing it out my darkside was like really there crying for sympathy... I watched it and just let it go about on it's rave.

only thing I was Really trying to bring up was what H0NDA CBR954RR said at the end of one of his posts and that is with certain things one should watch what they say.
and saying to a rider that they might go down is bad ju ju.
It hurt my feelings that I did and that it was said to me the day before got me kinda mad at the powers that be again.

WOW I'm babbling like a sally again!!! I'm stuck here at work now till late tonight for some special shipment that needs to go out, it's nice out, and I'm stuck here. The $ will be nice but missing out on a cyclists natural therapy is like a booo hooo hooo


again! Glad to see you back!!! olderRR. !

I told you to break in that tire before you got on it! :wink: :D

Hey GNT, hope you got that ride in after work. I'll be stuck moving this weekend so go get in a good ride for me and take out some aggression on that rear tire of yours :wink:

not really just rode some mild twisties on the way home in the 36 degree weather...
I did toast a state trooper on the way in to work though.
For some weird reason during the chase I felt at peace.



one lats thing about my ravings....
---------------
to make it clear the supervisor said that comment directly to me not indirectly.

that is why I took it soo personal.
----------------------------

hey RZ350. Fuck you :wink: :D

I dont know about karma or luck I guess I really dont believe in either but I do beleive in that we reap what we sow. I think what we are talking about here is murphys law which seems to be prevelant a lot.
Youre gonna love this. Last weekend me and my brother go riding with a freind of his that was up from charlotte NC. I went to my bro and said you know I have a feeling that we should take it a little easy today, Just dont have a good feeling. So we did we didnt push hard like we generally do and had a nice time. At the end of the day we stopped for a quick break and a friend of mine calls me to go down to the local aprilia shop, so we did and I rode a real good wheelie right by the front of the place. While there I decided to test ride a new 04 millie factory. I stalled it pulling out into the road and it tilted over to my bad leg. the front tire was in the road and the back in the parking lot and that centered me over the drain so it was like falling into a hole. it came over and I caught it with my legg and I heard a pop and crackling sound and my legg gave and me and the bike fell over. They had to pick up the bike and carry me inside on a couch. Now I have dammages that I have to pay for, luckly though he is a friend of mine and is only going to charge me his cost on the parts. Talk about unlucky, now my legg feels like it did months ago and Im back on two crutches for now. I dont think ive rebroke it but i do think ive cracked somthing. It has gotten better over the week but it hurts like crazy. Im gonna give it another week or so and if it keeps feeling better then im gonna not go to the doc. But now we are having some incredible days and I cant go riding cause it hurts too much. O well It will heal and ill be out wheeliein again :wink:

I feel you times me.


november 5th 1995...

"Greg I don't feel like I should go riding today"
"wtf, c'mon are you serious?"
"yes", "It's a wierd feeling and it wierd."
I went anyway. for fun's sake.
We were meeting his old firends form his home town to go dirt biking and one turned out to be jealous of all the smack Greg talked of me.
Wanted to show me up. We get unloaded, geared, and go.
Baggin down the powerline gravel staright "Rick" whellie plops into an ice covered puddle and soaks me.
I'm thinking... well that can be dirt biking... But then my bike starts to foul.
igntition.
I head back to the truck.(I'm almost always prepared) and I change the plug, head back out and it's still sputtering.
Think to myself "now that I've decided to ride against my better judgement they're out there tearing shit up and I'm here fixing some other dudes shit slap onto me."
I head backk to the truck.
Switch out the powerpack and go back to stock. I have fire. it'sa Going! and I go.
AFTER I take off all my protective gear since it's getting crispy from being frozen, TRrow on my lettermen's jacket, ski gloves and my bieffe hemet.
Now I'm out with the wrong attitude.
OLDERRR HERES THE ANSWER>>> WRONG ATTITUDE!!!

I am playing catchup and you know it's always going to be envelope pushing time.
side slide. brake side slide...
OHH SHIT the gloves are holding her open!
catapault onto a head full of asphalt chunks upsidedown with the bike still...underneath me?? no above me since I'm upsidedown.
the helmet blows up my right clavical while th bike compresses my spine then dislocates my left hip and bends my left leg at the knee 90 degrees to the left side to flop itself down on it's right side and sit and screem.
I come back to in a mangled mess only because I don't want my bike to blow up..
WAIT I can't move my right upper body....
wow. I can't move my lower left side of my body...
I have to shut off the Bike!...
with my left hand and my right leg I get myself over to the bike and push and hold the button to kill it.
Pull myself to sit on the bike as it lays on it's right side and use my left arm to see how much the left leg can be moved.
Then Greg (the milwukee fire dept. emt friend of mine flies up and shits.
"Jim!!! Are You OK???"
" NO." I can't move my right arm or my left leg..." still in shock.
"Lemme take a peek". "ok".
"HOLY SHIT!!!" "Dude don't Move!" the collar bone was soo messed up a prfessional emt had a hard time looking at it..
Then the Rick guy rolls up.
"HAHAHA you crashed!.. HAHA You bike's leaking gas...heheh"
I reach with my left hand and shut off the fuel behind my ass while still sitting on the befallen bike.
\Now at this time I'm coming back to the world of the living and am feeling just as to WHY^ I am in this state that I am in.
Murphy's law. :shrug: :nod:
OK I decided to ride. all was ok. SOMONE triggered me. now shit's fucked up.
He's still the same person but... I...know I"M Different. FOR LIFE.
It all comes back fast when you have ambition. My ambition is to get away from this jerk, get fixed , heal, and get back out.
Now I am making my right leg work and am standing on it to do what I can as mortal flesh to feel alive.
Rick the Dick picks up my bike, turns on the fuel, starts it up and REVS THE PISS OUT OF IT!!! :evil: :evil: :x :evil: :x
my friend greg is succomed to old friendship and doesn't stick up for me so I let loose.
"GET THE FUCK OFF MY BIKE!!!!!!!"
I hobble over to it. as they all try to decide how to get me to the hospital and my bike back to my truck.
"Leave it". says rick's friend. "no I'll ride it back to his truck and you can ride me back to my bike" rick says.
ME???
NO FUCKING WAY!
I get myself onto my bike and say..."Someone put my right hand on the throttle!!!"
"WTF"& "No Way" is what I heard.
I say it again and all I see is bewilderment.
So I swing my right arm and with 2 tries I got it on the throttle, Start it up, shift into 1st and wheelied away.
Fuck them and fuck this....
I didn't even think I should go riding today and look at me now. :x
My only problem was that my pickup was 3 on the tree...
Greg ened up following me and loaded my bike up and also drove me in my truck to the nearest er since he knew I was going to try like a mother fucker to do it myself since I felt I wasn't getting the supprt I needed.
---stilll going--- I AM the enegizer bunny damn IT :!:

sat in the er for 3 hrs!!!! not being seen I thought Fuck It. I'll set the damned bone myself end get the fuck out of here.
Grabbed onto a railing with my right hand and started bashing the fuck out of my colloar bone with my left fist.
then a nurse runs up...
"Stop!!! What Are you Doing???" she cries...
"I'm setting my colloar bone since you all won't help me." I say.
That's how I found out in my niavety that colloar bone don't get set.
They suddated me fit me in a clavical strap with all my other goodies and sent me on my way.
Greg ended up driving my truck to my sisters where I had just built a bedroom inher basement while going through a seperation from my wife. She then drove him back to his truck at the hospital.
I ended up selling the bike to Rick the Dick.
I LOVED that bike... cr125. the 954rr was like my cr125.
when I bought the rr I thought it'd be like a cr250. it wasn't.
...never mind that,...
Back on to Murphys law!

When you mentioned that it made me think of friday after I read the preceedings and was talking to one of my truck driver friends...
after a bit she comes back while I'm making magic happen to fit a shit load of frieght into some other drivers trailer and she says..
"it all sounds like Murphies law to me Jim.."
And right as she said that My left ear got such a loud ring in it That I couldn't hear Anything else but the ring in that ear which was the ear that she was standing close to hence forth speaking into.

Yes. Murphy's law.

Thank you and thabks for diggin my story.
It'd be nice to know you found a shit load of little things inside it that may make a difference in something.

since then I have broken at least 4 more bones .
and you all know mnost of the latest.


that's my story as of that I can explain to now.

Well ive been in a crap load of pain since last week and im staying off the leg and today it finnaly feels better. Gnt wheeeew, all I can say is youre the man. I had a broke collar bone once too and I dont see how you rode that bike or was even trying to set it back in place. I have broke the elbow, the collar bone and the feemer. I can honestly say the feemer is the worst. Crashed October 22, 03 and am still having a bout with it. I am on a bone stimulator now to try to get the bone to regenerate since they put cadavor bone in my leg to try to replace what was blown out and its not wanting to heal real good. If by 9 months it isnt healing good enough I am looking at another surgery to do bone graphs. My doctors tell me they think that this will work. I hope so cause I certainly dont want to start over from scratch again.

All I can say is CRASHIN SUCKS :!:

Were all blood brothers in this game i guess :wink:

yes. blood brothers is a fitting term. :)
femur. I remember mentioning to you before that the femun is one of the most excruciating breaks to have next in line with the hip.
I don't know about the femur pain but I do know about the hip pain.
Tough soldiers we are. still going at it with passion, eh.
That break I talked about in the story was 4 places in 2 inches. doc said only a new titanium could be in order and with shityy ins. All he said I could do is pull and pray.
the bone looks like a lightning bolt now. all twisted and I had to re-grove the socket by the throat which took about two years of grinding to make it work half way decent again..

:idea: I think I'm going to start a new thread.......

Well I hope that it heals OK and that you dont have to go the titanium rout. My femmur was basicially shattered into about 40 or so peices. about 3 inches of it. so he did what he could. Im feeling better these days since he put me on the stimulator. so will see how it goes. :wink:

Damn TRUCK. That's a shitty story. Hope you heal quickly! That's not Murphy's Law though. It's the 'voice inside my head' thing. You know, the one that says,"If you swing the hammer one more time, you're gonna smash your thumb..." And then you do? The older you get. the louder that voice gets, and the more you realize it's right....

Damn GNT! That was a dandy story! SHEEEIT! I stubbed my toe once. It hurt pretty bad.

the supervisor said that comment directly to me not indirectly.

GNT, this is bad ju ju for her, not you. Seriously. Consider this. Do you know how many times a week I piss off one of my students and they say something like that?

I hope you fucking DIE!
Your an asshole! Hope the next time you ride your bike you fall asleep going 160.
I hope I see you on your bike. I'm gonna run your ass down!

No big thing. It's themselves there putting the bad luck on! Not you!
Relax bud! Have another pal. I mean another pal have! Bud relax! Nope. that wasn't it either... bud pal! Have another relax! closer..... Relax pal! Have another bud!!!!!
YEAH!! That's what I meant!

I just laughred so loud I'm hurting!!!
and hyperventalating..
holy tootsies!

Relax bud! Have another pal. I mean another pal have! Bud relax! Nope. that wasn't it either... bud pal! Have another relax! closer..... Relax pal! Have another bud!!!!!
YEAH!! That's what I meant!


and we wonder why kids are the way they are today???? LOOK AT THE FREAKIN TEACHERS!!!!! :P :wink:

good to see ya comin back around some old fart :D

GNT, this is bad ju ju for her, not you. Seriously. Consider this. Do you know how many times a week I piss off one of my students and they say something like that?

I'm holding on tight to these words since my team leader (knowing this whole story) says to me "don't tumble.hehehe"

oh well. ha ha ha
