got my BS in Mechanical Engineering, when I finish I'll have my masters and PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a "specialization" in molecular and cellular biomechanics... whatever the hell that means... I build the toys for the lab and work with the cool machines Best of all... i've survived 6 months working with biohazardous materials... so i think i'm doing good, and I get stickers that say "Biohazard" in like 15 different languages.

1 - Why do i definitely need an FZ6? i need more than just that... quantitative reasons - comfort, reliability etc.

2 - nope... don't know any Ghotti people. Board member?

1. I think he's trying to imply that the FZ6 community as a whole are more intelligent than owners of other bikes. He's title to his opinion, but I think he is just a product of the bandwagon.

2. You missed the thread about 'thuper' guys from New Jersey?
I only mention it because he's into myspace. I think myspace is for guys like him and for emo.

ok... that pic scares the shit outta me... who the fuck poses like that?

the original version of my "myspace" page was to promote a band I was in - got the idea from my friends band that was also on myspace. Now it seems like a good waste of time at work

Or at least it was till I registered here... now this is my main source of distraction while working.

Have to say though... it would be nice to have the cash flow that that group of poser's had... UFC is expensive as hell... and since my cousin stopped fighting... I have to pay to watch people get the shit beat out of them legally.
