Is this forum on life support? - Page 3

Haven't really ridden since my reckless ticket last year. Still haven't been to court yet. March 12 is my new date. I have been so cautious about my speed on my bike (and car) since then that it has sucked all the joy out of riding.

I'm here, but like a lot of folks, busy with other stuff so not much posting. This weekend, for example, I'm tearing apart an old Yamaha AT-2 that a friend picked up cheap. Maybe I'll get super motivated and take some pics.

I check in from time to time but don't have as much free time to just read posts like before. For a couple months I didn't have access to anything. Now I'm busy with school and getting through the next 6 months.

Busier with random BS, losing the actual motorcycle content.
With busy schedules, the random BS isn't that important to post

Was just outside putting my bike into a van for transporting. (and yes, my bike is small enough to fit in a mini van

) It is 35* with a bitterly strong wind. I would have frostbite through my textile jacket in no time.

Same here. Finishing up the last 6 weeks of school before graduation.

This is also my last semester. ^^ I finish in early May, and then the inevitable search for a job begins.

As far as posting goes; I just don't have much to say. I show up a few times per day to break the monotony of studying and scurry back into my corner. When I have something worth sharing I plan to though!

Already been looking. Its rough. Seems like every company wants 5-6 years of experience....

Are you still looking to get into the talent biz?

Yes, if I could. I have had no responses yet, but I have heard unless you have a 4 year degree in your hand, they throw your resume in the trash. So I am going to start applying again here in a few weeks.

But, I really just need a corpo job to build myself a little nest egg for moving. Or another bike....

Like I said back in september, you need a smaller bike, like a supermoto
