Lavi has figured out how to beat the Islanders.  Our guys are really aggressive going after them in the neutral zone and they can't handle the pressure.  Everybody was talking about how Trotz knows how to beat us - well, I think Lavi knows how to beat Trotz!

     What kind of bike do you ride?

short answer is super sports

When younger I'd ridden a few that friends owned, put a ton of miles on a Shadow 750 and CB 1000. My first was a 94 YZF 750, it sucked 2 up but was fun solo. My 2nd, which was bought with the primary consideration for 2 up, was a YZF 1000, only available for one year in the U.S., also why I got it. I've had a Katana 750, Bandit 1200. But still have the YZF 1000. Bikes became secondary when I got Jack.

The only thing I was avoiding when I got the YZF1000 were Harleys. You can't drag a knee on a Harley. Both of the peg feelers on the 1000 are ground down. The reason I bought the Yamaha was the service interval. The Yamaha recommended 15,000 miles between valve adjustments. I almost bought a Ducati, only because there weren't many around here at the time. But the Ducati had a recommended 6000 mile valve adjustment schedule. That would've been once every two months for me back then. When I got the YZF up past 15K, I started talking to service guys about the valve adjustments. Since I primarily just cruised with it and didn't take it to track days, I was told I didn't need it until 25K. I haven't seen any other bike be able to do that outside of a Harley with hydraulic lifters. But, I will tell you the quickest way to need new sprockets is to do wheelies. When I had the 750 I had it pegged out, indicating about 155 on the speedo. The fastest I've had the 1000 is 140. The Bandit 12 I never had a chance to go that quick, but on paper it was slower the the 1000.

If you want to teach someone to pack light, buy a bike and take off for at least 4 days. There's only so much you can pack into saddle bags, and makeup and hair are pointless when wearing a helmet.

I really don't think Reirden could've beaten Trotz like that. I think Trotz would've embarrassed Reirden.


Nothing against Reirden. He's still got a lot to learn, just like Cassidy when he was first promoted here. Cassidy is doing pretty well in Boston now, almost 20 years later.

just an FYI, you don’t oil zippers, you wax them


the dumb shit you learn as a motorcycle rider


Oil is for leather...    :P

I have a confession.  I wasn't wearing my onesie for the last game.  It was due a bath and wasn't quite dry, but I didn't want to say anything and cause a jinx.    ;D
I am
