I'm getting to know San Diego in an entirely new way, and as it turns out, I never really needed a car here at all..! 
Also the beginning of other thingsAnimaetrix00 wrote:felt like I was groping around in the dark at first.
i hear and feel your cold rob i wish i could ditch the car thing and ride year around. just had to buy a new cage yesterday which is cool for backup but i wish i could have two scoots instead maybe that will be a dream fullfilled when i migrate someday. will be warming up to the high 20's today but that also is bringing 6 inches of snow thats how it rolls here.Rob wrote:I'm glad you found your comfort zone and are now just one more of many with this particular addiction.
And I'm jealous of all of you that can ride year round ... it's going to be a high of -2 deg and a low of -12 on Thursday, so the scoot may stay tucked away for a while.

I would say talk to me in August, but then I thought ... you could still ride then. You might be miserable, but you could still ride.Becktastic wrote:It was a cool 76F here today

It's almost comforting to know that others are in the same boat ... misery loves company I suppose. Actually, I WISH it had only dropped to -12 ... it ended up hitting -20 here and -30 in some of the outlying areas. Up to now I always thought I could handle the cold but didn't like snow ... now I'm starting to have second thoughts there.Nah ... you'd still buy one. You'd just do like the rest of us and bitch and complain during the times of year when you couldn't ride.Animaetrix00 wrote:Aww, yeah I can see how it would be easy to go through withdrawals.
My cage didn't have air conditioner, it was like an oven. The scoot it actually fantastic in 100+ degree weather considering what I have become accustomed toRob wrote:I would say talk to me in August, but then I thought ... you could still ride then.

yeah the faster you go the the cooler the ride so if you ride 100 bph you should be very cool right beckBecktastic wrote:My cage didn't have air conditioner, it was like an oven.

just remember the long arm of the law.
Holey Cow!! A car in the southwest with no AC??!! I actually opted for the car some days this past summer so I'd have the AC !! And here in Pa. 100* days are rare. I can dress for the cold, when it's hot out I can take only so much off!!!Becktastic wrote:My cage didn't have air conditioner, it was like an oven.

yeah and holy crap law enforcement here in Tucson is getting on my nerves. We were having a shindig at my house last night for a friends bday. And seriously it wasn't even 10pm and a cop comes and knocks on the door. He says they got two calls about noise complaints (sorry officer, but Rock Band is awesome) and if that happens and there are 3 or more people have had -any alcohol, you get a red tag and a fine from $160-$2500?!?!? It's not even late, no one was underage and there was nothing illegal. Luckily the officer was pretty understanding and didn't hit me with anything, but we still had to cut our party short (good thing we started early). But that's retarded Tucson law for you. Using their rules, if three old guys are having a BBQ in the middle of the day with a few beers and I call twice to the police that they are being too loud, they get a red tag and a fine. What BS is that?! Also, my neighbors suck for not -asking- us to turn it down and just calling the cops...twice. >_<kneil67@yahoo.com wrote:just remember the long arm of the law.
i checked online and its actually 5 or more people, and the fine is 100 bucks so I think the cop was just trying to scare us.Becktastic wrote:yeah and holy crap law enforcement here in Tucson is getting on my nerves.

Speaking for all of us old guys that just might want to have a middle of the day BBQ ... PHEW!!!! We just have to keep our numbers down!armacham wrote:i checked online and its actually 5 or more people, and the fine is 100 bucks so I think the cop was just trying to scare us.
I think that's just the Red Tag law. I think there is a looser general noise law. I think they can still cite you for disturbing the peace and so forth. I'm not all that positive though as I tend to be a quiet household.armacham wrote:Rockband only requires 4 people so theoretically, we can play that as loud and as late as we want and there is no problem.
What a great, well-written law
the cop showed up at like 9:40, which means she made the call around 9pm probably.rabbitgod wrote:
Also, what the hell! They bug you at 10pm for playing Rock Band, and they won't talk to the people behind me who have daily 6 am shouting matches about how much they hate each other.
