The Belly for the Beast {KTM}.....

[Island Hopper]

While at the DSBC Mid Island dinner bash an interesting conversation came up which lead to a couple of challenges.....

The first was Renov8 working on an angle with his better half {Carmen} to get a new Dualsport more suited to extended trips and 2 up touring....

As far as I could tell the deal that was reached is like this: Paul loses 40LBS [no amputations allowed} and keeps it off for 6 months and one of these is in his future:

Next thing you know Bajaman {Mike} tries this same lose LBS gain 950 angle on his better half {Virginia} and then starts on Paul saying he could lose 40 LBS first...

So there is the second challenge: Both guys put in 100 bucks and first to lose 40 takes the other man's money....

Let the games begin....

Of coarse I'm holding the money so if neither of them reach their target do I get to keep it?

Here's Paul 1 hour after the handshake.

This guy means business....

Oh where oh where has myDual Sport friend gone, Oh where Oh where can he be..with his knobbies ground off and his exhaust cut short, oh where oh where could he be.

Hey!challenger...knock knock....is your scale broke or something...

And now to all DSBC riders following this mighty challenge,

I am officially weighing in at 230 lbs.

Did I fail to mention I have lost 8 lbs in the first week of the challenge.

How much of a head start do I need...Remember the weight police guy said no amputations...:f:



Ok, I will make this in terms everyone can relate to ..This is the weight I have lost so far in terms of motorcycle gear....

Good motivation...Imagine riding up your next technical ride with not one not two but 3 Helmets and 3 Goggles on your bike (equivalent to current loss)

pfft, veggie schmeggie!

Try my special Taco Bell Diet(TM), and you too can eat all the burritos you like and still weigh 150 lbs! Note that this diet also requires large amounts of Quiznos, McDonald's and pizza. Oh, and tons of riding to burn it all off!

Seriously though, it's great how you put the weight loss in terms of equipment. It really goes to show that instead of trying to shave off a few grams here and there with [insert expensive parts here], we would be much better off just getting into shape.

Great Shot Bajaman!!! I like your Riding food....Will I ever eat smokies again ??? Not likely...

Also, deosn't a person just gotta like this west coast style stuff...

This biggest looser DSBC style ( Thanks Smedley) is way more fun...

So, June 15th 2009, Island hopper says I should have time to get the bike, ride it locally, etc. Do the first oil change and then I am ready for the Dead Zone at the end of the month....Just may work

Ok, Back to the treadmill....:f:

WHAT no smokies Paul

Does that mean i have to pack my own so i can keep my slim trim 179 lb body in shape. How about the cans of Ravioli that was always stached in your saddle bags? I suppose that is out also.



KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!
