"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Its not a Car, and its not a Bike. Its pure awesome!

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I was talking to a guy who works for the California manufacturer and he says that it will be available in either 2009 or 2010 for about $20k. Can you imagine a drunken college underclassman driving one of those things? :nervous:

Hopefully you're agile enough to avoid it.

This would be more like a fun vehicle, not the thing you get around with. Lots of people have junker cars for going to work, and then their really nice car they go out with. I could see driving this around on weekends as one hell of a time.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's still probably safer than a motorcycle. Seems like it's easier to drive too. I'd love to have one. 20k is way too high though.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yes, but it's a different experience. This thing isn't about speed. I agree, though...there's nothing like hitting 140 on a rice rocket.

This reminds me of my father's German Messerschmidt. It was a 3-wheeled car that had two wheels on front and one in the back. It looked like a little helicopter. As a child he used to take me for rides around the neighborhood and I thought I was going to be killed each time since it always felt like it was going to tip over. I'll bet it would be worth a fortune today if he had kept it.

haha, or 160ish the other day, yeah speed is fun.

I am starting to learn that there are different types of speed, though: like straight-line drag, cornering and handling, and top end top speed. The gearing and suspension setups can be very different when trying to maximize one kind of speed over the other. My other speed interest besides bikes has been Chevy V8 engine swaps into Nissan Z cars. If any of you want to go fast for cheap, check out a hybrid Z like this one:

Got one, I think I'm gonna get a GTR-1400 next. I've been riding bikes for 35 years, the thrill isn't gone but the new is surely worn off. :)

Top Gear is awesome!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Maybe that's the spec of the older 1200 and they haven't updated their specs to reflect reality? I think the CanAm has a lot better odds of being a trouble free street machine honestly.
