something to make fun of......

[skiprincess]

Okay, with all the drama of the last few days and all the old stand-up vs. sit-down stuff, I have decided to bite the bullet and take one for the team.

I am going to attempt to divert all the ridicule in a new direction....myself. That's right...I am coming out...opening myself up for whatever finger pointing and laughing you can hurl my way.

Are you ready?

I like.........













thumb throttles.



There I've outed myself! It feels good to get that dirty little secrect off my chest. No more living a lie....

I would like to make fun of you but I just feel sorry. . .


There is help out there you know.

 

[skiprincess]

Like a 12 step program????

The first step is admiting that there is a problem...right?

Can I get an online intervention?

Nicolas Rius won a few standup world titles with a thumb throttle on his kawi. They can't be that bad.

He used to have a dual throttle setup, both thumb and finger back in the 750 days.

thumb isnt too bad, my umi is flipped backwards b/c i was to lazy to cut and trim and its just stayed like that

 

[vitaly]

I confess: a few years ago I used to be addicted to the thumb throttle too.
Then I sold the Sea-Doo and the problem went away.

on the serious note, I have no preference, thumb throttle is OK.

My problem began years ago with the older Kawasaki stand ups. I just got so used to it. Thanks to those good ol' Kawis I also can't stand the wrist lanyards. I do ride hubby's Superjet sometimes...I'm getting used to it.

Now don't yell at me...I actually MADE him put a thumb throttle on my SXR. :sad6:

I am looking to get a Superjet in the near future. Once I do, I will make the switch...or die trying.
