Member Contributer sportrider Posted June 22, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 22, 2007 You may want to check out the TV show "House." In the show, the Hugh Laurie character (Dr. House) uses a cane and rides a Repsol Honda -- modified to carry his cane. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't watch too much TV, so when they started calling me house, I had to tivo and episode and check it out. The guys at work were all like "hey house, what's up?" My dumb a$$ just started back at them with a blank stare cause I had no idea what they were talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 Rosso Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 OK, so this 6th gen doesn't have gear driven cams and has only halve the valves working below 6400rpm. But does that qualify the bike to be parked in a parking spot for the crippled? I guess it does :beer: Congrats on the new ride Will :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer thx1139 Posted June 22, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 22, 2007 You may want to check out the TV show "House." In the show, the Hugh Laurie character (Dr. House) uses a cane and rides a Repsol Honda -- modified to carry his cane. :thumbsup: more fun facts: Hugh Laurie is not a real doctor, but he does play one on TV. However, he is actually a motorcycle enthusiast. That detail of the "House" character was written in to the storyline to take advantage of this. In real life he rides a Triumph. I thought it curious that the few times I saw that show, I thought Laurie had a subtle accent, but couldn't place what part of the country it might be from. Turns out he's not even from the american continent. He's been quoted saying the hardest part of the "House" role, is supressing his very heavy British accent.

That's just wrong!!! :lol: :lol: Can't you get away with parking anywhere anyway? Taking up a handicapped space seems like going out of your way to displace some poor handicapped fool who needs to park his cage there! At least when you park there, you have something in common with the other handicapped drivers - you probably shouldn't be on the road in your condition :goofy: j/k bro - glad you're back in the saddle. Heal up quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you, for taking up a handicap spot. After I broke my femur, my riding buddy would always park the furtherest away from a store as he could. He made me walk alot. It was actually great for me getting healthy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Sweet color!! :thumbsup: What kind of tires are are those? Don't tell me that Honda finally stopped putting on the Dunlop 204s. Bridgestone Battleaxes, I think. They came stock on my 06 and 07. They will last... got 8 K on the 06 and was still a month or so away from the wear bars. However, they can be a bit slick... I was pratcing floating the rear in corners using the rear break with almost no effort. If you just want to tour, they might fit the bill. Shame on you, for taking up a handicap spot. Dude, we have about 30...all but 2 are always open. I went about 7 or 8 away from the door and parked (didn't want cages in the pic.)

Member Contributer Birdman Posted June 26, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2007 Great show. I love it. This guy House is a real hoot.Best, Dan Never mind Hugh Laurie (a fantastic actor), what about the hotness of Lisa Edelstein? She is a total knockout. And a doctor, too! Awesome ride, House...I mean, Will. However, seeing your bike (or the RWB, for that matter) only makes me want to "trade-up" for one. Glad you are recovering quickly. ~Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechdziner714 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 They said it would be up to a year before my brain is all the way normal It's all in how you look at the bike :P Did they mean "normal" for you, or normal compared to the rest of society? :goofy: How long will that tag last just sitting out there exposed like that?

theoxmole Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 As funny as this seems, I've actually seen this for real. I was walking into a store and right in front was a Harley parked in a handicap spot. I thought, "You've got to be kidding me taking up a handicap spot." As I got closer I realized it had a handicap LICENSE PLATE on it. Apparently Ohio WILL issue handicap motorcycle plates! Of course it could apply directly to the bike since it's a Harley. :goofy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
