How Big a Dork Am I?

Speedo66 · 08-04-2010, 05:55 AM

I've had my '72 Honda CT90 Trail for a few months now, and I'm having all kinds of fun with it. I take it to the library, go minor shopping with it, and just do exploring around the area, getting my thrills at 35-40 MPH.

Carrying things presents the usual problems, hoping things bungied onto the rack don't fall off, gallon milk containers are a major challenge.

So yesterday, in a fit of dorkdom, I ziptied a large milk crate onto the rack. Big enough to haul at least 2 large paper supermarket shopping bags, and who knows how many books, 6 packs, etc.

So tell me, how big a dork does this make me?

Embrace your inner Dork!

Sounds like you're having a good time. Go with it.

Could have been worse man, you might have tried to bungy-cord a cardboard box on it instead!

Delight in Dorkness I always say.

Dork out.

Hi, my name is Steve, and I am a dork....

Thanks for the group support!

As I've said before, one of the few benefits of getting older is you just don't give a shit what other people think anymore. Gives you lots of latitude to do whatever you please, no matter how, let's say, "dorky". ;>)

I'd be more worried about having a screen name associated with a banana hammock than a milk crate. Wearing a Speedo is the epitome of dorky.

Or maybe you're just European.

Im realizing now I should've bought a scoot in the first place.

There is nothing wrong with a KLR top box.
