I just laugh because I do sets of preacher curls with what he weighs.

wfozx14, what started this whole tantrum was when Nasty assumed that since I only weigh 142 lbs then I must look like Bowzer. He stated that if he accidentally fell on me it will kill me. (for those still wet behind the ears here is a picture of Bowzer:
So that's why I posted a picture of myself.
Now, let me address Mr. Notch. If you can do one-arm preacher curls with 140 lbs then I will shut the hell up and call you boss man. Two arm preacher curls with 140 on an incline does not impress me for a big man.
For example, I do not weight train anymore, but I do lift dumbbells twice a week just to stay in shape. When I do regular curls (no cheat curls--no swinging of the upper body). I do 5 sets of 6 reps with 50 pound dumbbells. Now for the benefit of the mathematically challenged I will explain (step-by-step) how to compute if you are as strong as me pound-for-pound which is the only thing that really matters.
Step 1: Let's setup an equation to see if a 242 lb fat-ass is strong as me pound-for-pound
l42/50 = 242/x
let x = the amount of weight that the fat-ass needs to lift to equal my strength
Step 2: Cross-multiply the diagonal values of the equation:
242(50) = 12,100
(142)x = 142x
Step 3: Write each product on different sides of the equation
142x = 12,100
Step 4: Isolate the variable on one side of the equation:
(do this by dividing each side of the equation by the numerical co-efficient of the variable).
Step 5: Dividing the left side of the equation by 142 isolates x on the left side and dividing the right side:
12,100/142 will equal approximately 85 to be precise: 85.2112676056338
So, if a 242 pound fat-ass thinks he is as strong as me pound-for-pound he would have to do 5 sets of 6 reps with 85 pound dumbbells.
If the mathematical calculations are beyond your comprehension, fear not I will write you a JavaScript calculator that will perform the math for you.
Cheers,
jimmymac

Vic, put that lure back in the tackle box. We don't need more pictures.

Hey skewed as long as were off topic, how does your wireless attachment for your Valentine work? Do the batteries last a long time?

wfozx14, the H.A.R.D. system works unbelievably good. When you're going a 170 mph, you better have tunnel vision while viewing the road ahead, but with a super bright LED flashing right in your eyeball you can start hard braking. When the V1 picks up a signal, it instantly sends it to the wireless system! I have nothing but praise for that system.

I had thought about adding that feature to mine, but I can see and hear mine just fine. Even at 100 +.

Skewed, Thanks for the video I'm going to order one and try it. I have a screamer hooked up to my v1 right now but I ride with custom molded ear buds and they make it to inconsistent to hear the screamer.
Nastynotch, your lucky you can hear your detector, you've definitely got good ears. I started losing my hearing a couple of years ago. My wife sent me to get a hearing aid last year and I came back with $400.00 custom molded ear buds for my bike, it was a little quiet around the house for a day or so. lol
Oh yeah skewed my home gym blows yours away.lol

Nice gym wfozx14. I see you really are living on Easy Street. If I had that gym, I would be so buffed that I would lose my power-to-weight ratio advantage that I currently have against 99% of everybody that rides a hyperbike.
And besides that I wanted something built in the USA, so I built my dumbbell rack out of wood and wrote on it: Made in the USA

Maverick, I'm quite sure you are right, but driving on the street which is what I do mostly (no drag strips near my house) 99% of the guys my size are riding Ninja 250's or even smaller bikes.
I used to drag race back in the 80s and as you know the first 60 feet can make or break a run. However, if I'm driving down the road at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mph or more and if I pull up next to a guy that weighs 50 or more pounds than me--he's toast. That's really the only point I'm trying to make.
My greatest kill to date is a Nissan GTR Alpha 12 which I beat from a 20 mph roll up to about 170 and luckily for me, we had to stop because of traffic.
