Got the bikes on the shelf at the moment...one of my buds has me back into playing guitar. We've been getting together regularly once a week, and so far, he's in the lead buying equipment...but I'm catching up. I bought a Line 6 Pod XT Live and managed to convince myself I now need a laptop computer as part of my guitar rig - it's USB interfaceable, and I can get tones on-line. SOOOO...a couple days ago I ordered a 15" custom Powerbook direct from Apple...maxed the memory and the drive. Between the Pod, the Powerbook, my guitar, and a bit of software, I'll have a recording studio undr my arm now. AND...I think it's about time to get another axe...Merry Christmas!

I owned a thumper - a Yamaha DT 400 - was my first bike. Got stolen... Big bike dilema right now is trying to revive my '98...dosen't seem to want to fire up in the cold - can't blame it, really. I've been thinking it's set too rich for some time though. Just need to do some minor tweeking. The '03 is still perky.

The '03 is still perky. 2stroke not the same... did you give the 98 a light whiff of ether? sometimes it needs a little jolt. you guys playing vintage rock stuff? >>I owned a thumper - a Yamaha DT 400 - was my first bike.

I really think it's just a matter of mixture - I hear the techs like to set up bikes fat on the carburation, and it has no problem in the warm weather...and it tends to make some big puffies when I rap the throttle. If I lean it off a tad I think it'll behave a bit better. My '03 is notablely leaner, but it also has shorter pipes. Just a bit of tuning required, I think. We're all over the place musically...our drummer is just learning to play, so were choosing stuff with simple drum lines without too many breaks - but nothing I'd call "coherent"...Black Crows, Stones, Zep, Bush, Marcy Playground, Weezer, Van Halen...see what I mean?.. Not to mention that my new toy has me wanting to get back to writing/arranging and recording. I have some software drums, so once I get the Powerbook I imagine I'll be doing a lot of riffing. I'm pretty sure I can lay down basic rythem tracks in Garage Band alone, and then add live guitar later...then I can use that as a practice tool for the guys by playing back through the PA.

Just a bit of tuning >required, I think. yes, i think that's right, too. them v twins sound bad fat, but run well leaned out. i hate hearing the idiots blattting out their pipes because they are ruining the motors. >We're all over the place musically...our drummer is just learning to >play, so were choosing stuff with simple drum lines without too many >breaks - but nothing I'd call "coherent"...Black Crows, Stones, Zep, >Bush, Marcy Playground, Weezer, Van Halen...see what I mean?.. some 4 chord rock....jangle, jangle. >Not to mention that my new toy has me wanting to get back to >writing/arranging and recording.

Hobbies... sounds like fun. every now and then i whack on the old martin....except now it's off to the factory for a tune up. i think the neck is wonky. >>We're all over the place musically...our drummer is just learning to >>play, so were choosing stuff with simple drum lines without too many >>breaks - but nothing I'd call "coherent"...Black Crows, Stones, Zep, >>Bush, Marcy Playground, Weezer, Van Halen...see what I mean?.. > > some 4 chord rock....jangle, jangle.

Yeah - my Les Paul is going on 25+ years old now and probably needs to be re-fretted. I'm going to either have to start playing my Explorer or buy that Tele I've had my eye on for years.
