"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.

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

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
 

"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.

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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. :)

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
