Author foxh1234 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Fox, I knew you and I were a lot alike. IF you come to California, let's play a few rounds together. I also race motorcycles so I can brief you on what to do to keep yourself safe on the road. Keep up the good work. You are inspiring a lot of people here!!! Hi CG, I am going to Pebble Beach for 5 days on Aug 19th and then Foxwoods in CT on Sept 23rd. I am really looking forward to Pebble. It will be great to get away. Link to post Share on other sites

Author foxh1234 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Fox, only a complete idiot would take her back. And I know, there are a bunch of idiots out there. But you have the LS network (Kinda like the Verizon network) behind you. Thanks TLB, I am an idiot sometimes but not where this is concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
You'reasian Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 You all know about the emails and calls and then her finding me in the coffeeshop, well she emailed me again today saying she wants to leave the new guy and try and make it work with me again. Tell her you want to be friends. Then find yourself a woman whose not so wishy washy. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
ioncebelieved Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Tell her you want to be friends. Then find yourself a woman whose not so wishy washy. Good luck I wouldn't say she is wishy washy. (1) She left my man for another and about killed him by doing so. (2) She is been bugging the hell out of him about her desires now. That does not qualify as wishy washy and Not sure he wants to be friends with her. I am betting HE DOES NOT! Link to post Share on other sites

justaman99 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think I will also look into buying a motorcycle. I used to ride when I was younger and have wanted to buy another one for years now. A triumph speed triple 1050 is all I have to say to that. Test ride one. Trust me. Link to post Share on other sites
Author foxh1234 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 A triumph speed triple 1050 is all I have to say to that. Test ride one. Trust me. I was thinking just a little japanese bike, 650 or something. I have never been on a Triumph. Are they expensive ? Link to post Share on other sites
justaman99 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I was thinking just a little japanese bike, 650 or something. I have never been on a Triumph. Are they expensive ? If you're going Japanese then I imagine full sport? I would suggest the Triumph Daytona 675. It is incredible. Just test drive one when you are getting close to buy that's all I ask. If you're budget is tight then I'd go with an SV650 no question. Cheap and fun twin bike and quite reliable with a huge rider base. Speed Triple 1050 is 10.4k but it's a litre bike http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/Speed%20Triple_5295.aspx Street Triple is like the 1050 but it's a 675 and not single swing arm. It's 8.3k http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/Street%20Triple_5354.aspx 675 Daytona is 9k I think as well: http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/Daytona%20675_5345.aspx I guess it just depends on what you're lookin for. Good luck. Be curious what you go with if you decide to. -Just Link to post Share on other sites
Author foxh1234 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 WOW!!! That 675 Daytona looks insane!!! I LOVE IT!! I am going to take it out this week if I can. Thanks for the heads up. Amazing looking bike. Link to post Share on other sites

The parts are hard to come by. Get something Japanese. Parts are easier to come by and their as reliable as they come. Link to post Share on other sites

Parts are not hard to come by and if you're a good rider you won't need em anyway and later model triumphs are quite reliable and often come with a 7 year 100000 mile warranty for a little more. I've been riding for 10 years now with a suzuki that had a clutch go after 1000 miles and a CBR1000 RR that was fast but had no character. Since then I've only owned Triples and will never stray from Triumph again. I wish I could fit on a Daytona but at 6'2" 200 I can't sit long on super sport. Go ahead and get a Japanese bike if you want to be one of the other 10,000 CBR or GSXR riders out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Author foxh1234 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks guys for the advice. I am going to try alot before I buy. I will keep you up to date on which bike I buy. Link to post Share on other sites

Go ahead and get a Japanese bike if you want to be one of the other 10,000 CBR or GSXR riders out there. Depends on where you live. In the US, parts are hard to come by for Triumphs and they are expensive. And I agree, the 675 is an excellent bike and is raced here a lot in the classes I race in (middleweights). However, I will say this. I race a 2005 CBR600RR. I've crashed it at least 3 times and I am constantly bouncing off the rev limiter (13,500rpm) and I have not had ONE issue with this bike. 20k miles, original clutch (including race starts!), Arata exhaust, power commander, the works. All I have ever had to do is change the oil, filter and do my regular maintenance. The guys who own Triumphs here in the US often complain about the lack of parts and the price of them. I am not sure where Fox lives but in the UK I would imagine the parts are easier to come by. I'm not against Triumph (it's good to see someone giving the Japanese a run for their money). I just race and have seen, at least from a US perspective, what the issues can be. And for the record, I've owned Hondas, Suzukis, Kawasakis, etc and by far my Hondas have always been the most reliable and dependable bikes. PS: The new 1000RR is butt ugly but performance wise it's the best litre bike you can buy Link to post Share on other sites
Author foxh1234 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hi everyone, just to keep my LS friends up to date, she found me at my golf course yesterday. When I came off the 18th green she was waiting by my car. I have been a member at this club for 9 years, so it was easy for her to find me there. Anyway, we talked for 20 minutes or so, no crying by me, but lots by her. I tried to explain my side to her and explain that too much had happened between us for it to work. She seemed to get it and she apologized a bunch of times for everything, not only the cheating but things that happened years ago. She looked terrible and looked like she hadn't slept in a week. I hate to say this, but I felt sorry for her, she has really screwed herself. She doesn't know what to do or where to go. It is not my problem anymore, but I still don't want to see her in a ditch or homeless. She has moved out of the apartment she had with the other guy and is living with a friend. I held myself together very very well and I actually just talked to her like I would any other person. Very matter of factly. I told her that I didn't want her to contact me again and If I wanted to contact her, I would let her know. She said she was sorry for coming to the golf course, but she knew she would find me here and she really wanted to see me and find out for sure that we had no chance. Guys, this has been such a learning experience for me. I have learned never to put all my eggs in one basket. I put all my emotional eggs in her basket and when it ended, I had nothing, no where to go, no point of reference. I loved her too much, gave her too much of myself, too much attention, too much of my time and I neglected my friends, family, interests, etc.... I really thought that my life was complete with her, when actually, I was missing out on doing alot of things that I enjoy, just to be with her. The last 2 weeks, I have been doing things I want to do, going places I want to go and spending time with who I want to be with. I will find another person and hopefully fall in love again, but I will never forget who I am and I will not put myself second. We each have to do our own things away from the relationship to be whole, complete people. I thought all I needed was her and we would be happy. I was so very wrong. She understands now where I am at, and she fully understands why we are done and won't be getting back. I told her I wish her luck and I hope she finds hapiness with someone. I also told her to take a deep look at herself and ask herself why she did what she did to me. I have learned alot from it, I hope she does as well. She said goodbye as I did and then got out of my car and was gone. I don't expect to see her again and that makes me sad. Even after all she has done and all the pain she has caused me, I still love her. I won't be with her and again, but I will always care about her. Link to post Share on other sites

But maybe, finally, this woman will leave you alone and you can begin to get past this. It's always hard to say goodbye to someone you did care about, but I guess that is what life is all about at times. Enjoy your weekend Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 OP, I feel for you... That said, since you are NC with her and she miraculously showed up during your golf game, it tells me she's been cruising the club every day (or the days you customarily played) looking for you. One conversation isn't going to end that behavior. Who knows where else she's been looking for you at. I hope you know that..... happy to be wrong but I don't think this is over, by a long shot...

Hi carhill, I think we had a meeting of the minds yesterday and she knows we are done and nothing will change that. She now knows 100% that I don't want any further contact and I really believe that she will stick to it. I could be completely wrong, but I have known her for 13 years, together for 8. She knows me well enough to realize that any further attempts at contact will be fruitless on her part. It is really hard to get over this crap when she keeps popping up.

carhill Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I know that makes sense. It makes sense to me. It's what I would do if in her shoes, thinking like a logical man....oops...she's not a man My bet is she has no cognitive sense of what she's doing and is operating on pure emotion. She may, looking back, see this period as completely blank...."What was I thinking?".... Just be prepared. Oh, how did the game go? I'm not an avid golfer but played in my younger years. So peaceful Link to post Share on other sites
