Darling I&#39;m a nightmare dressed like a daydream

What is it with you women and your motorcycles? Haven't you ever heard of a luxury sportscar before?

Hey, don't knock chicks on motorcycles. I happen to like that. By the way, My name's Lex.

From:

It's not nearly as hot when they all do it, though. I swear they're trying to start their own biker gang. I blame Wanda.

And I'm Jake. I'm one of the Snow Valley types. I assume you're at the mansion?

From:

Yeah, just arrived. More women riding them doesn't make the individuals any less hot.

From:

Oh do you? I should introduce you to Mist tomorrow.

From:

Nice to meet you. Adrienne Frost. I like your answer to Stretch below about motorcycle chicks not being any less hot in mass quantities. I assume you have a bike or know how to ride one at least? I could use some pointers from a fresh brain if you've any free time?

From:

Dude. HEY HEY HEY. There are at least two, maybe three guys here with motorcycles. It's not just the chicks.

From:

All I'm saying is, the only chick I can think of off the top of my head who drives an actual car is Amanda. And calling that a car is fairly generous.

...I am in so much trouble.

From:

Oh yeah. She's gonna turn you into a frog again.

From:

Only if she can find me.

From:

Location spell, Jake. It's a witch's best friend. Also, you're in New York. She likes me rather a lot and tends to do me favours.

Besides, I'll have you know that the Broomstick came through Apocalypse's little takeover bid with just a couple more scratches. There's a lot more to my baby than it first looks. Like the fact I can so from nothing to 60 miles an hour in less than a mile since Forge did his thing.

*grumbles* See if I ever give you a lift to the mansion again, sunshine.

From:

...I'll hide behind Wanda?

Fine. I will admit that your car makes good camouflage. No one would ever expect it to be driven by an International Woman of Mystery.

And I'll just make the pouty eyes next time I need a ride.

From:

Wanda loves me. She also knows who does her filing and can find stuff. And who brings her coffee and breakfast at work.

And camouflage was part of the idea - no-one's going to try and steal what looks like a shitbox, are they?

Pouty eyes don't work on me unless they come with a six pack of decent beer or a carton of cigarettes attached. ;P

From:

Sigh. You're right, she'd toss me to the wolves.

I suppose it's cheaper than buying a Club. *grins*

Noted. When it comes to bribery, I'm the best.

From:

Just keep digging that hole of yours, Gavin. The Broomstick has a long memory. And needs the occasional oil change. *eg*

From:

...There's a piece of bourbon pie with your name on it at Mark's?

From:

You turned him into a frog? Can you do that again and can I watch?

From:

Back when I was fifteen, yeah. I think it's one of those one-time only things - wasn't supposed to work at all and only did 'cause Jake was a very suggestible shape-shifter with control issues at the time. Also, Pete made me do everyone's dishes for a week.

Ah, memories.

From:

Ah, well, it's probably for the best then. Dishes are a harsh taskmistress. They may be the bane of my existence, come to think of it.

From:

I have a car. And a Driver. I was going to buy myself a Maserati actually, but this seemed like more fun. And Morgan is persuasive, as I'm sure you know.

From:

Me? Persuasive? I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't have to twist your arm, just point to the shiny and talk about how dead fucking sexy you'd be on it all clad in leather. I might've mentioned something about taking you out of the leather, but you know me.

From:

Not as well as I'd like to... rawr.

Oh wait, we're not supposed to be making innuendo-y jokes on the journals, are we? Whoops.

From:

Hence why I talk so often on them lately.

Very sexy. The Canadian judge gives it an eight.

From:

The American judge gives it a 8.5. It'd get a 9.0, but it loses half a point for being just not quite as cool as mine.

From:

x-cynosure.livejournal.com

The Canadian judge insists to his esteemed colleague that there should be another half-point docked for there being no one modeling the appropriate safety gear, which in any sane universe includes black leather to match the bike.

From:

The American judge would like to remind the Canadian judge that if the entrant were modeling the appropriate gear, that the Canadian judge would probably not be all that interested in the first place.

The American judge would also not be interested but only because he has a girlfriend with taser powers and he has already been tased once this month and doesn't want to be tased again.

From:

x-cynosure.livejournal.com

The Canadian judge insists that he can admire the aesthetics, even if he does not want to do things inappropriate to speak of in a public journal to them.

From:

The American judge says he forgot about that part. Despite that he had a boyfriend once. The American judge blames being tased this month for that.

From:

I had to start somewhere, but hopefully I can graduate to something 'cooler' soon. And I'm always up for people to go shopping with me to give me pointers?

From:

Merci, good monsieur.

How do you kick a ghost? Aren't they all, like, not really quite there, or kick-through-able, or ectoplasmy? Ew, did you get gross crap all over you when you did that?

Kidding aside, cool bike. Very shiny. :)

From:

You kick them when they've been eating your energy and thus become a form you can touch. The downside is that they can touch you, too. Hence why it needed to be kicked. No, there was no gross crap, unless you count my own blood. It just wrecked my apartment.

From:

Welcome to the club, Sweetie.

From:

What can I bribe you with for lessons? I would like them from as many sources as possible, to vary my experiences.

From:

Alcohol is always a good place to start. Could use some new t-shirts, too.

From:

You are quite easy, you know.

From:

Cheap. Not easy.

Though, if you wanna offer up more in exchange, I'll take something shiny and the size of my fist.

From:

You know, I'd suggest you not get lessons from the eight million people around who ride that are easy access. I'd go to a certified instructor since they'll teach you to ride to pass a driving test. People who have been riding for a while will teach you how to ride in ways that will likely get you failing your on road. That figure eight in a box is a bitch for most people. Besides, riding gets so intuitive that most people have trouble explaining things properly to someone new to it.

There's also the bit about how most people aren't good teachers. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you're any good at teaching it.

From:

Point(s) taken. I'll definitely hire a professional, but that being said I do consider differing methods and opinions and tricks others might have valuable. Though perhaps after I've had a few lessons...
