I will be driving up to new jersey, flying to spain, taking a cruise around europe to italy, greece, rome, etc, and then fly back to new york to stay there a few days, and then ill be taking a nice long road trip back down to texas, stopping along the way to go white water rafting in the appalachians, and lots of other cool stuff :D Can't wait! 8)

Let me be the first to saw that I hate you with a passion.

And I get to spend my summer working. Beat that.

Hah thats nothing i'm going down to North Carolina and spend a week on the beach in a beach house going fishing crabbing etc. etc. (oh btw BAUHEAEHAEHAHE)

[Kurtis]

lol. work = fun

[Mixam]

Well for the summer I'm not doing much I guess. I'll be working most of it away doing 15hour days hard labour to pay for school. But before you all go and pity me... yeah right ;) I have been spending the year in England and get back to Canada this Thursday. So I'm busy packing and getting ready right now. This year I've been to Scotland, Ireland, France, and of course England since I've been living here. If you guys ever think of moving to England think again. Its expensive and boring. If you're going to travel virtually any other place in Europe is better. I especially liked Scottland. I went on a one week tour that took us all the places tourists usually don't see.

[DnD]

I used to live in england (my dad was militairy) I went to scotland too it was cool :D

[Mixam]

Hmm then maybe you can help me. I'm trying to get phono output out of the vcr here. It doesn't have that connector, but it seems to have this 21pin connector I believe is called a scart plug. Can I just get an adapter? I've seen people hook ps2's up to that plug, but that would be input and I will need output. Is output possible from the scart plug?

[DnD]

well ye see that was 9-10 years ago when i was their...

i think kurtis started this thread just so he could brag about his cool vacation.

have fun K. i'll be going to vegas for an extended weekend with the wife and some friends this summer. our friends are renewing their wedding vows. they plan to have a fat chinese, or possibly latino, elvis do the ceremony.

have a blast in ole europe. make sure to tell everyone that you are from the states and especially that you are living in texas. boy do europeans love people from Dubya's home state. /kidding.

don't really do that... learn to speak with a good canadian accent, order only german beer, and wear lots of hockey clothing.

[caniswolfie]

I'm going down to Florida with my gf to visit my cousin and enjoy some nice weather. Hopefully I'll get to go to some of the theme parks while I'm down there. :)

and canis, you will have a blast in florida dude, i went there last year and went to like every theme park, make sure you ride the Hulk, its one of the best coasters in the world

[handrail]

heehee, stinky europeans...that joke never gets old.

i love europe, been there several times. never made it to spain, but my friend went to barcelona and loved it. one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

if you are going whitewater in appalachia, check out west virginia. i live in virginia, but just drove through WV this past weekend. loads of great rafting there...and that's about all. well...the mountains are nice too. just remember to bring your laptop...or as they say in West Virginia "fancy lernin machine". Check out blueridge outdoors magazine if you are in the WV/VA/NC area. my wife works for them, they run features on loads of great camping/hiking/rafting ideas and locations. www.blueridgeoutdoors.com

[Kurtis]

yea i will have my laptop with me while in the states, that way i can keep you guys updated while im away :P
While I am gone Brian will be in charge, i know its scary but it will be okay.

[Brian]

Hrmm, whats this button do? ("close hosting account"), hrmm....?

*click*

[DnD]

rofl... im not worried about the europeans, if they tell me anything ill just say "shutup stinky, go take a damn bath

Avoid Paris...its the worst if you dunn wanna smell :( People in france don't take baths unless their really really muddie and the cover their scent with lots of perfume...so if you ever catch a france girl with lots of perfume on run away....run away very fast and far.

[Kurtis]

rofl. ill make her take a shower before i shag her :lol:

Total bullshit. I was there I know alot of Americans who stink more then the french. Besides french girls are hot.

And about the part for video conversion. I found it at Maplin Scart to phono with a switch for input or output.

[DnD]

actually its not Total Bullshit my teacher who is a French Teacher who went to France said the samething I just posted....My dad who went to paris for R&R during time in the Militairy says the same....so ye see its not total BS

[Mixam]

Tell your dad to put on some pit stick.

[DnD]

Hey Pal,

Just because you don't like what I say doesn't mean you have to be rude... I'm not saying this because of what the French Leader guy did I'm saying this because I learned about it from my Teacher and My Dad two people who have gone their and know whats going on...

[Kurtis]

No need to get ugly guys. I will be the referee, and I rule that French people do indeed smell. It is all Europeans, not just French.

[steven]

i plan on summer school. yay!

[fhetw]

french ppl smell bc all their women have hairy ass armpits that and their fear of bathing

[Kurtis]

lol.

[MyFifthLimb]

My friend is french, and he has a crazy French mother. She tells weird stories and mixes things up. For example, she was telling us how some lady wasn't listening to her and she got pissed off and threatened to make the lady leave by saying, "It is my way, or no highway." Me and my other non-French friends giggled like little beavers over that one.

[Revolg]

Somethings I Plan To Do This Summer:

1) Go to Israel (It isn't looking too promising)
2) Auburn's 4th of July Firework Spectacular (This was really good last year)
3) See many many movies.
4) Get trained for AWANA (Ashamed Workmen Are Not Ashamed program for kids)
5) Website Work
6) Constantly wonder if I passed my Math Final (Until the report card comes in, I better have passed the thing!!)

God Bless,
Eric

[Kurtis]

lol sounds like a fun summer. Good luck with all the missionary stuff. And also good luck on the math exam hehe :P

[F|eA]

Most of my summer will be spend at work, I'm a lifeguard for a local pool. Need money to feed all my addictions and to pay for school
Apart from that, I might do some travelling, and some backpacking.

[knucks]

I'm going to try to get a job.

Oh and the european smelling thing, I disagree. For one, Englishmen and Germans don't smell..

[hikaroui]

Making frapacrapos for yuppie teenieboppers.

The freshman 15 turned into the freshman 20 for me. Besides, I could use a little sun.



Don't ask. =/

[Kurtis]

lol I haven't had a beer in over a year. I don't get much pleasure out of it, so I don't do it :P

Puking sux btw

[handrail]

i'm going to vegas!!! got our tickets last week. w00t!!

kurtis, i thought you were leaving for europe soon???

[Brian]

At the end of this week

[Kurtis]

on saturday i am off to europe. And i have a nice sony camera on the way... so i will show u guys lots of pics :)

I will review Europe rofl.

[handrail]

sweet. have fun.

i would love to see a review of the paris public toilets...or amsterdam toilets if you go there.

the toilets in amsterdam have these weird ledges in them. odd stuff. still can't figure out why they felt the need to put a ledge in the toilet bowl. i guess it's so you can display the work you feel extra proud of.

ok, sorry about that. that is making me sick to think of it. eewwwww :shock:

[Kurtis]

lol. I have made poopy, come one come all!

[knucks]

ever seen those piss-booths in the middle of the red light district? the ones that are like in a spiral, you just go in and do your stuff.

[Brian]

Hopefully he can review France ;-)

Give a good unbaised review of how SNOOOOOOTY they are! Bastards!

Two of my friends went to France, and a couple guys went up and asked them if they were american. They said yes (dumb dumb dumb) and the guys proceeded to kick one of my friends asses. At least they don't beat up girls.

Dumb french. They can't help fight a war worth fighting, but they can bully when they have superior numbers.

[handrail]

oh yeah, there is that one right by that old church.

i love it, there is a great old church pretty much right in the middle of the red light district, in case you need a little nookie after that boring sermon.

[roblae]

[knucks]

THAT GUY HAS A PEPSI!! haha..where's the beer?

[Kurtis]

holy jees thats a lot of bikes. lolol that looks fun :P

[handrail]

roblae, just hope my old CB750 1969 will make it

i have a 1975 cb750F, the super sport model. although i got rid of that dumb seat and put a flat honda seat from a cb500, a new rear fender and custom taillight on mine.

is yours the sandcaster from 1969? the cb750s are the best honda bike ever made. i love mine.

have fun at the rally.

[Kurtis]

can I go on my bike? I believe it is a Schwin. :P

[handrail]

what size engine?

[Kurtis]

.125 HP hehe

[hikaroui]

lol I haven't had a beer in over a year. I don't get much pleasure out of it, so I don't do it :P

Puking sux btw

eh? beer? i barely drink too

[Kurtis]

lol the frshman 15 refers to beer intake. was it brownie intake for you? :P

[MyFifthLimb]

That is one hell of a vacation. I have only done that, but like seperated. I have been on a few cruises (not in europe though!), I have been to London and Paris on one trip, I've been white water rafting and canoeing etc., But shit! One month, one vacation! Damn...bring home some foreign computer device or peripheral for us. Maybe an Italian mouse...because Italians have demented fingers...no I'm kidding...maybe a French processor...all you do it snap your fingers and the program loads. Kidding again of course....just bring something back and review it....oh and in Paris there somewhere in the Louvre there is a restaurant called "Burger World" yup how original and NOT American...those damn Frenchies....wow I sound racist I am done with this post.

[roblae]

is yours the sandcaster from 1969? the cb750s are the best honda bike ever made. i love mine.

have fun at the rally.

You bet it's a sancaster! With the 4 in 4 pipes no baffle
My father in law gave it to me he bought it new in 69
It was the fastest bike of it's time still 100% original
except for the color and he chromed the upper part of the front fork
like you said the best honda bike ever made

and that guy is drinking Pepsi
1 because he drink all the beer the night before :lol:
2 because he dosent want to miss the wet Tshirt :lol:

[Kurtis]

lol myfifth, yea i dont think i will ever top this trip. I will actually probably review europe as a fun article, and post a bunch of pics of crap I did etc so I can show friends and family and so you guys can check it out and get jealous lol :P

[handrail]

sweet roblae!!! the cb750 is the best bike ever built in my opinion. i have also had a cb500 and loved it, essentially the same bike. the cb750f super sport that i have is a tank, runs great all the time. the super sport has a bit more power than the cb750 and cb750k models. the SS looks stupid tho, so i made mine look more like the originals, except for the 4into1 pipes, i like the way those look so i kept 'em

enjoy that rally.

[roblae]

the super sport has a bit more power than the cb750 and cb750k models.
Well I have to correct you on this one. All the CB's from 69 to 78 had the same engine rated at 67hp@8000rpm. The SS models had shorter gears that gave it more acceleration but less top speed. My father in law says that the 69 70 had 2hp more than the other models, I don’t know if it's true but the old man knows his thing. After all he had the bike for 32 years his friends “cough” Gang “cough” had 73’s 74’s he was still faster acceleration and top speed.
BTW: 4in1 were standard on the Super Sport
http://wabisabi.swarthmore.edu:9673/bikes/cb750/tech/mg/CB750F/cb750f0.jpg
super sport 1975 4in1

[handrail]

sorry roblae, indeed that is what i was meaning. and i love the 4into1 pipes, i know on the ss those were stock. however, i swear that i read the 750f ss had slightly different frame geometry and indeed more low end acceleration and horsepower. and, that model wasn't as popular as the old cb750 style, so that is why they re-introduced the old style as the K models.

here's an article describing the '77 750f2 vs. the K. maybe this is where i got it. the horsie power graphs don't lie :D :

http://www.triumf.ca/people/baartman/bike/cb750-77.html

either way, i love mine. now i have to dig up that other article again.

here it is. i think we are both wrong:

http://www.triumf.ca/people/baartman/bike/cb750f-75.html

ride on buddy. thanks for the moto talk.

and now back to computer stuff

[hikaroui]

munchies intake. =)

[roblae]

thanks for the article Handrail and ur right back to comp stuff :)

[DnD]
