Why Is It Always About You? : The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism (Paperback)

COOT... Look at the first RT.... SheWOW-WOW! = "The Hand!"

"In this groundbreaking book -- the first popular book on narcissism in more than a decade -- clinical social worker and psychotherapist Sandy Hotchkiss shows YOU how to cope with controlling, egotistical people who are INCAPABLE of the FUNDAMENTAL 'give-and-take' that sustains HEALTHY relationships. Exploring how individuals come to have this shortcoming, why YOU get drawn into THEIR perilous orbit, and what you can do to break free, Hotchkiss describes the "Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism" and their origins. You will learn to recognize these hallmarks of UNHEALTHY narcissism -- Shamelessness, Magical Thinking, Arrogance, Envy, Entitlement, Exploitation, Bad Boundaries -- and to understand the roles that parenting and culture play in their creation"......I may just check into that!

"(notice NOBODY there is accusing him of bragging )OR of 'putting other's bikes down"..."....observation....not anything other than that.

I would think a healthy response to that statement would be something like..."you know....there isn't anyone being offended by his telling everyone he went that fast...isn't that cool?Those guys are really pullin for each other over there....they all like to see someone do well"....guess that would be too much to ask?Just sayin.

Yep, don't think Smokin is elidgable for the contest... Go get some, Coot!

Would be sweet if a forum member brought home the "free" bike.

Well DOGO....what are you waiting for?Go and get that free bike!I know you could do it....you know you could do it...so what's up?Don't let Coot rob ya on this deal here If Smokin can run on that stock 14...no reason YOU can't do the same.He's excellent no doubt.Has it down..but he's not the only guy who can run like that.Just sayin.

"out of the abundance of the heart,a man speaks"....no one can hide their REAL thoughts and ideas about others.It will show itself for what it is eventually.As they say on TV..."What's in your(general) wallet?"

Not in a rush, Grn...

Drag racers, rest assured, you are coming up to bat. As we explained previously, we had to do the road course first, as it is in the rear of the property, heavy equipment and all that. Surprising probably to most, there is not that much work left to build the drag strip. Amenities like garages, bathroom, even grandstands, will certainly take time, but the actual racing surface is not that far away. Much like the road course, the dragstrip will be a “work in progress” for most of 2012. It will certainly be operational, we hope by mid May, but we will be building amenities all season long.

It's a bracket race.

That's right...you've got that new track goin in there.Happy for ya.Wish we had somethin here..they have a BIG AZZ arena...and track...and PROPERTY to build a sweet road course....just no one is into that sort of thing....I would be..that's for sure.Man.4 miles from my house....would be kickin baby!There's PLENTY of land where that's at....just no enthusiasts.Bein this close to Canada...I could see it doing VERY WELL....the closest thing for those Canadian riders.And we get LOTS of Canadian riders when the weather's good here.LOTS.From all over really.It becomes 'bike city' here in the Summer.Very cool(especially if yer into Harleys ) .

You know what's up.

COOT... Look at the first RT.... SheWOW-WOW! = "The Hand!"

You know what's up.

lol, yep. That does it. I'm telling Mom.

gearing change and a pipe

16/43 ????? I did not expect to read that after Reading Rickey went the other way.

The set up...

66 inch wheel base.
Half a tank of 89 pump gas.
Stock air filter in place ..
NO P/C , NO tune ..
16/43 gears.
008 Shinko .
Stock clutch , no shims or stffer springs ..
Air air shifted at 10800

No BST wheels . No trick MR12 fuel ... No Zero weight oil .No ceramic wheel bearings. Just Brocks Alien Head 2 for the 2012 ZX14R ..

Air was good , Temps in the 60s .. NO tail wind , infact the flags over the track were dead still .. The runs you see below were early before the track went away and started spinning ..

I saw that COOT. Imagine if it was zero. Even the .44 says you need to beat him by half. So, his game is .001 to .044. Your game plan is .002 no minus or zero so that side says where did I go wrong? Then, you .022 skidoo down the road a piece and the keys are yours!

Get him outta the HOLE ICON

"No Tune?"

RG go the other way stretched?

"No Tune?"

AFR's are good at WOT w/o tune.

Dogo how did you get a picture of my bike?

Dogo how did you get a picture of my bike?

Your bike?... Thought this one was yours?

RG go the other way stretched?

Not stretched. Too much of a Pogo stick with stock gearing. Went other way and road out the clutch. hmmmm. 8.55 speaks volumes.

lol I like that one better!And Romans can your ZX-14 turbo run a 8.55 on pump gas?
