My new ride!

**warghoul** · 11-20-2011, 10:07 PM

I just bought this Saturday. It's kind of dumb that I bought it in November and have to put it straight into storage but I walked in to the Harley shop and seen it and wasn't going to leave without it. Now I'm super excited for spring and wanted to share this for I am all jacked up right now.

My respect for you has just grown. I'm from a family of Harley-riders, I'll end up riding a Harley at some point in my life, I like motorcycles. It's a nice bike.

**Slime Slayer** · 11-20-2011, 11:50 PM

Sweet.

**jim5cents** · 11-21-2011, 12:44 PM

Looks just like my bike.

Good deal, bundle up if you plan on riding this winter.

**RU Joe** · 11-21-2011, 01:41 PM

Well so much for the Retro Uprising Cross - Continent Promotional Road Trip - I thought you made this thread to announce you were going to start picking us up, starting with members close to where you live.
Clearly such a thing is impossible on a motorcycle.
Way to kill a guy's dream.

Jim makes an excellent point here, but there's a solution: go to a surplus store and buy a Pilot flight suit = they're air tight and will keep you warm as toast.*

*Provided you're flying along, that is.

Ok, Ok, in all seriousness: you got a really pretty bike there.
As long as you're an easy rider

instead of a speed demon

you should be fine.

However, on a more serious note:

Joe, why the name change?
My uncle has been through two or three motorcycle crashes that seriously screwed him up. He's in his fifties, but looks and moves like he's in his seventies. He still rides. He'll never stop.
Of course, he's a hardcore biker-type, you can't get that kind of man off of their bike.

Nice ride, I'm not familiar with bikes, what model is it?

And Joe, what's with the new name?

I can't resist:

'The hobo that was JoeGrow is no mo!'

Really though, there's a few reasons:

JoeGrotowski was a reference to a character in a movie that no one remembers, therefore the name lost its value.
I saw that Dead_Tears had changed their username a while back and I got to thinking it was about time for a change and also it's good for security.

Then there's this: one day while looking to see if any of my posts would show up in a search engine, I was shocked to learn there is a REAL Joe Grotowski, a Doctor in the U.S.
When I learned that it pretty much made the decision to change for me and it was then just a matter of coming up with a new name.

Since I don't visit any other forums I decided I would become RU Joe!

**warghoul** · 11-22-2011, 11:54 AM

I remember that movie New Joe.

**Tails** · 11-22-2011, 11:57 AM

I can say I didn't, I just assumed until you said something it was your real name.

As do I. It came out the same summer as Independence Day. While I intentionally saw Independence Day about 25 times, I unintentionally saw that movie about 10 times while theater hopping.

But, I've seen that movie many, many times. It's a good one.

**Dudebro** · 11-22-2011, 10:31 PM

You guys are silly, JG knows people have seen it he's just being self depreciating again. I saw that movie and I thought it was meh, that's why I didn't remember it when I first met JG.

@Warghoul- Nice hog but you should've told that douchebag to get out of the way before you took the picture. Damn photobombers.

**warghoul** · 11-22-2011, 10:43 PM

@db If I told myself to get out of the way I probably wouldn't of listened.

**Dudebro** · 11-22-2011, 10:48 PM

If you were drunk or high enough you could've pulled it off. Next time try harder. But not while you're riding of course.

**RU Joe** · 11-23-2011, 11:13 PM

Well, I'm surprised to hear so many of you were familiar with Joe's Apartment.
I never thought people actually got it at all, even after I posted an explanation in a thread somewhere, including the 'Garbage in the Moonlight' song.

No, I honestly didn't think many people had seen it, had no idea it was ever shown in theaters, and what do you mean by 'self depreciating'?
I prefer to think of myself as realistically unpretentious.

**Demon-Mask** · 11-23-2011, 11:17 PM

I'm pretty sure being self-depreciating is part of being "realistically unpretentious".

Joe's Apartment isn't all that obscure, it just isn't super-popular.

**jim5cents** · 11-24-2011, 05:31 PM

That is because it is actually a really, really, crappy movie.

I mean it like someone who makes fun of themselves because they lack confidence or to avoid humiliation, no insult intended. I see you do it a lot, like with your MC skills.
