gasser Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Uh, am I the only one obsessed with this site? I keep trying to convince myself that this is one of my more positive addictions. How many times a day do you visit this site? Link to comment

OoPEZoO Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm not a addict........addicts go to meetings Unless events count as meetings....then I'm guilty Link to comment
Redbrick Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I was told just this morning that we are going to have 2 days a week where we "stand down" from the computer and I was to pick the days...So you get the idea how much time I spend on the site.... I feel the withdrawal symptoms starting... Phil.........Redbrick Link to comment

Matts_12GS Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Ahem, that's really the whole premise behind our trip. We're UNvisiting the Carolina UNchapter. "My name is Matt, and the only way I can not look at BMWST is to ride my motorcycle...." Link to comment
waylap Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Every night! It's actually one of the more positive things I look forward to doing besides riding. There's so many good people on here that it's down right good for my soul to chat with you guys. Link to comment

RichEdwards Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Addicted? How else would I know that this site goes off-line for a few moments each morning at about 5 a.m. Anyhow, you're not a hardcore addict until you hit 2000 posts. Link to comment

Wyn Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Yup, wife says, "How come your always on that site?" to which I answer, "Hun, if I could figure out a way to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand anyway!" By the way she won't ride and I use that line when I go riding too. She's perplexed, "Hun if you go for a ride with me perhaps you'll understand. Don't you know that just about every woman who has their own bike never wanted to get on one in the first place?" I think that's what she's afraid of. ISYHTRAH Link to comment

SHIMHEAD Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I think I'm going to try using my cell phone as an access point linked via bluetooth to my Nav III running pirated software that allows me to use voice commands for web surfing, thus allowing a text-to-speech conversion of BMWST which I will hear in my helmet in my Cardo bluetooth headset. All this while slaying the Dragon! Addiction?...........not me! Link to comment
E30TECH Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 My kids call this "myspace for old people"; ask ask them "who you callin' old Willis?" Tell your kid that a 32 year old has the same bike as his father. That should make him understand that his old man is cool. Link to comment
Ken H. Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Every time I 'rub' Donna about watching soap operas she brings up bmwsporttouring.com. I don't get it, do you? Link to comment
Todd_Z1 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Uumm..I think you need to get some help! Right after you wire your phone to the voice activated garage door opener. Oh, and don't forget the web cam with HUD helmet mounted projection system so you can see what the dog is doing when your not home. Cheers! Link to comment
SHIMHEAD Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Don't be siily. I have a Sony dog that I program via voice command to open/close my garage door using my X10 home remote control system, with e-mail confirmations sent to my Blackberry, all monitored in my helmet. I still like the peepholes in hotel doors though, you know.... good old analog/real time surveilance. Can't get my dog to charge properly with my R12RT accessory socket. Should I check it out with my GS-911 tool or take it to the dealer?!?! Link to comment
hopz Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I do not know about you forum-heads but I am not addicted. I can quit anytime I want to. I just don't want to right now. I'm not addicted, Can quit anytime..... Link to comment
Husker Red Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 My kids call this "myspace for old people"; ask ask them "who you callin' old Willis?" Tell your kid that a 32 year old has the same bike as his father. That should make him understand that his old man is cool. Yeah, Right... 32 is already too old to be cool to a kid. My younger brother was making fun of some "dorks" he saw at a concert and he said, "No offense, but those guys had to be at least 35 years old..." Clearly we are beyond hope. Sorry about the hijack - Yes. I am addicted. If there's a cure I don't want it. Link to comment

Bud Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I've had no problem not looking at this forum. I've done it thousands of times. Ummm, wait a minute, I was thinking about the number of posts I've made. My name is Bud and I'm addicted to BMWST. Link to comment
bmwk100 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Now that I think about it, it is an addiction. Link to comment
blkvelvt Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The internet is a virtual reality. How can you be addicted to something that isn't real? Am I really visiting this place or is it just my imagination? Am I really in denial? Why are these voices in my head? Did I take out the trash tonight? Why are all of you looking at me? Link to comment
SHIMHEAD Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm virtually addicted. Really. How come the voices in my head stop when I take off my helmet? My dog can virtually bark. He took out my trash too. See also the RUSH song "Virtuality". Link to comment
