I just took an online personality test (120 questions, went pretty quickly). Most of the results seemed right to me, with one a bit off. On a scale from 1 - 100, here are my results. I'm sure that at least some won't shock any of you. :)

Extraversion: 5
Agreeableness: 63
Conscientiousness: 70
Neuroticism: 54 (with a 99 in the "self-consciousness" category, my highest score in anything)
Openness to Experience: 3

A real shocker that I'm an introvert that's agreeable and likes to avoid confrontation, and thinks through what I'm going to do. While I do like to stick with what I know most of the time, the "Openness" category had a subcategory that talks about liking to discuss ideas and think about new things - which I love doing, but I got a really low score in that one, so I think that one is a bit off the mark.

Of course, it's just a ~15-minute exam that you take yourself, so I don't think it'll hold up in court. :)

But, this all begs the question:
"Why would an extremely self-conscious introvert post their personality test results on a public internet forum?":)

Well, I didn't score a 100 in self-consciousness. ;)

When there is a Volvo on the road, I feel safest in it or at home. Volvo drivers scare me. Cool bike. I thought it was a dirt bike until I saw the pic.

Did you check off male or female?

Two stroke street bike disappeared when it became popular to care about air quality!
This was the bike I wanted. It was damned light and fast. I would guess Swerd's Suzuki was pretty similar (other brands often offered more creature comforts, but Suzuki was always a good performing bike back in the day):

Extraversion: 75
Agreeableness: 55 (morality: 2, modesty: 12, altruism: 94)
Conscientiousness: 72
Neuroticism: 51 (self consciousness: 0, immoderation: 99, anger: only 70)
Openness to Experience: 88

I had to look up altruism and was a little surprised by that and other than that: *killing me softly*.

At least I got 2 for morality. Better than zero. :D

I remember the RD350 or maybe RD400. Is that it there? Those things would smoke much larger sport bikes light to light because of the 2 stroke.

in the '80s they came out with an RZ350 that was more race bike-ish soon to be followed up with a V4 RZ500. Yamaha was my bike of choice for no particular reason.

Yes, there was an RD400.
The reason I preferred Yamaha was because the nuts and the heads on the engine bolts did not rust after 5 years when left outside, the way the rest of them did. I took that to mean they had a better commitment to long-term quality, as opposed to just looking good through the sale.
I ended up not getting a bike until years later (which probably extended my life by about 35 years or more) when I got a '82 Seca XJ650RJ. It wasn't as godawful quick or "squirrelly" as the RD300-400 series, but it was a great sport-touring bike with good power.

I remember that Yamaha 350 and also remember wanting a Honda 350. I got the Suzuki only because it was conveniently available at the time. It had 6 gears, and needed high RPM to develop power. I guess I didn't really have bikes in my blood, because I never went back. I didn't sweat the details, I just wanted some cheap temporary wheels. But it was fun being reminded about it.

I also remember a gas station where hot girls pumped gas for you. They wore white go-go boots & hot pants. No self-service, I stayed on the bike, opened the lid on the tank, while they held the pump handle. A cheap thrill for $0.33/gallon. I probably bought a whopping 3 gallons.

I remember the Seca quite well. A friend had upgraded to the 900 from an RZ350. I went on to get a Maxim X 750 which incorporated the gearbox from the Seca 900 to handle the power created by the 5 valve head that they got from the FZ series. At the time the Maxim X was the most powerful production 750 cruiser ever built. It had all started with a Maxim 550 and ended with a couple of FJ1200s.

The Seca and Maxim were very similar. The Maxim X was something else entirely in the motor department. It was shaft driven as well. At speed it was highly unstable with stock tires. I was pissed about that but new rubber fixed it. My first 3 bikes were from Canada which means they had European spec's with higher horse power than USA-market machines.

Much the same way that I'm into audio now, it was bikes back then.

I apologize, but I need to say this. This morning was really difficult. It was one week ago today that Niki died.

I keep up appearances most of the time for other people, but sometimes it's difficult. I went to the grocery store on Friday night, which is right next to the vet. I was holding it together until I went to pick up bird seed and remembered as I got there that her dog treats were right around the corner. Luckily, most people ignore each other in a grocery store. I thought that maybe I could pick up some deli meat, but I just couldn't. Most everyone who works that counter knows that I bought most of it for her, and I started tearing up when I got close to it.

Sorry for the downer.

You shared so much of each others lives that there will be reminders almost everywhere you go.
Maybe do something different?

Don't worry about that. Look after yourself for now. I'm glad to hear you're getting out. Make sure you eat. You can't let your physical health slide now. I have trouble getting my head right when food and sleep aren't seen to. If you won't go see the people who do care about you then you gotta take good care of yourself.

I was a little concerned that my joke wasn't well rec'd but now I wish that it was just that.
