    I suck because I just saw your Nike hybrid line on the voting thread... *fail*

    Yeah man, when I picked up my first hybrid, I didn't know how to swing the thing, took me some getting used to. But I have a VR-S 4 wood (replaced by the new jetspeed), but that thing was money. Sounds like you're crushing that hybrid, nice!

    I just got some new Speedblade irons custom fit from the TM performance lab we visited down in FL.. my set is compleeeete! and pretty gnarly, heh. Jealous of your weather, heh, Imma be out Monday since its supposed to be near 60, but 30s tomorrow, haha.

    part 2:
    -One of the hosts from the forum thats well connected said he will get us in with all the Pros to chat and sign stuff, drink, and hang out! He said he will be popping $750 bottles of wine all night, every night, lol. One guy I talked to who went last year said he roomed next to VJ Singh in the hotel, haha.

    -1 of the 7 of us going down will get chosen to PLAY in the Pro-Am (how freaking nuts is that?????) That 1 person will also get a FULL new bag including new driver, woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putter from TM. All custom fit.

    How craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzyyyyyyy... TM is spending ~50k for each of us to go. So help me god if I get picked to play in the Pro-Am, haha 18-23 handicap! lol
    The guy I talked to said the course is tooough, he's an 8 handicap and he shot a 107 lol...

    Come over and see me! haha

    Personal issues, eh, doesn't sound real good. I'd ask for more details, but it seems etiquette leaves the story left untold.

    On a bright note... I totally just won a 50K all expense paid Taylormade Ultimate Experience golf trip, and I may be playing in the Franklin-Templeton Shark Shootout Pro-Am Dec 9th-13th down in Naples, FL! Come watch me, haha

    I was one of 7 randomly chosen on that golf forums I told you about:
    -5 days at the Ritz-Carlton, all expenses, airfare, travel, etc paid
    -Brand new (not to be released til Dec 13th) Taylormade Jetspeed fairway wood set with a custom fitting by TM
    -Get to play the Tiburon course.. a lot
    -Get lessons from Hank Haney (Golf Digests ranked #5 instructor in the US, he charges $10K/day for lessons)
    -Get to attend and watch the pro-am, the poolside pairing party, and the banquet dinner where the meal is $25,000 a plate
    -Get full TM/adidas gear; hats, shirts, pants, belts, shoes, balls, gloves, etc, etc

    tls was one of my favorite members here. Dude cracked me up. It really sucks to see some people just up and vanish, but I get that life happens and not everything that goes on in our personal lives needs to be shared on the forums. You don't need much, if any, mechanical knowledge around here anymore. Quite a few members are here only to post whore the 'New Members' threads, and that's the extent of their knowledge, so don't underestimate yourself or the experiences you've gained. All of that may be able to help a new rider.

    OIF was banned because there were some personal issues at home, and he was given a vacation for a few days but decided to start some other accounts thinking nobody would know. The powers that be found out, and combined with his personal issues, he was done. It's a story alright, but it's really a sad story, so hopefully the ban did him some good in his real life.

    Haha, I always felt bad because I told tls2death (when he was here, lol) that I would like to be a regular and not one of the come-n-vanish newbs that he described that frequented the forums.. but life gets in the way sometimes, and it's not like I have a ton of experience or mechanical advice to offer, I'm still learning myself.

    Yeah, I remember awhile back that I saw OIF was banned, I guess I wasn't surprised to hear with how crazy he was and all, but I never saw the reason why. Figured it would have made for a good story, lol.

    Haha, alright man, sounds good. I'll probably be doing the same, I hop on here from time to time but rarely post anymore since I don't know anyone. I slumped off for a bit and got left in the dust by everyone, haha

    Haha, good idea on the beer, but don't even get me started on ebaying golf balls.. I've probably bought 10-15 dozen AAAA-AAAAA balls (see, I know how to get down with the lingo, haha) in the past 2 months. I'm addicted to ebaying golf stuff. Sniped so many nice clubs too lol. My GF keeps trying to ban me from ebay. We'll have to talk clubs and set up sometime, lol, but for now it's time for one more ebay check then some sleep. Good catchin' up though, I'll have to start spending some more time on here since I see some of the same crowd is still active!

    Haha nice, a fellow hacker! Yeah, I've played 1-2x/year in the past, but I've been playing every chance I got (3-4x/week) since June, haha. Wasted a bunch of money on some new rocketbladez and everything. The beer is too expensive on the course, sneaking it on works for me! Yeah, hopefully I'd be in the area and able to make a meet if it ever came together, sounds like it'd be great.

    Still in VA, passed my boards finally, waiting for my GF to pass hers then we are going to do traveling therapy. So who knows if the bike is going to travel with us or what, depends on how far away from home we are I guess. Picked up golf, that has consumed me lately (lol). What's new with you man? I peeped in on that East Coast meet-n-ride thread way back, but never saw anything set in stone unless I missed it.

    Hey dude! Been working alot.. lifting weights and getting back into shape. Unfortunately I hate riding around Houston, it's absolute shit compared to what I used to be able to ride in NC and so the bike sits a lot :( I keep going back and forth about selling it, but I love it a little too much to really part with it.. I also broke my collar bone mountain biking and so I've accrued $10,000 worth of medical debt now since I didn't have insurance at the time. How's tricks for you though?

    hey man whats goin on,
    i thought i read a while ago that you had a k6/k7 600 that you did a 750 swap with but i wasn't sure. if you did i just had a few questions concerning time frames. i was wondering if you did the work and if so how long did it take you? or if a shop did it how long did it take them and where'd you go?
    Thanks zach
