  1. I'm in I kinda regret trying to ride so fast last time we went out, NinjaDoc... I should've been concentrating on trying to ride SMOOTHER... I think speed comes naturally when the technique is proper, and if that is learned first, we'd be much better off. Paul gave me some good advice, and if I make it out tomorrow for the group ride, I'm going to say "screw trying to keep up." I'll be concentrating on better form and smoother riding... being comfortable WITHIN my comfort range, this time, more so than pushing the edges of it. (My advantage, I think, is that I already knew the bit about engine braking and what not from a bit of car racing / track day experience... I hinted about the gears & shifting in another thread... One of the videos made it sound like you were in the same gear for too long... then again, I'm probably more newb than you so take anything I say w/ a grain of salt... But it is a good way to manage lean angle & speed... And if you engine brake, then you save your hand brake for emergencies).

  3. Arpaio is a real America douchebag. http://crooksandliars.com/jackie-mahendra/doj-arpaio-show-me-your-papers http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110525/ap_on_re_us/us_human_smuggling_arrests Furthermore - how can you applaud these raids when the businesses will now have to hire people that won't work for below minimum wage? That will be detrimental to their business and profit, and I know how pro-business your stance is.

  4. I ask myself, how much money would I have to have before gold plating a car would seem like a good idea? My answer: at no point would that seem like a desirable thing ...... But then I remind myself of something I've told over and over to people who are envious of possessions: More money doesn't bring happiness. Incomes are like concentric circles: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/sg034_0600.gif The more disposable income you have, the larger the circle of things you can buy, but there is always another circle, just outside your income, of things you now want but can't afford. In other words, the more you make, the higher the price of the things just outside your reach which you convince yourself you need to be happy. A starving child just needs a meal to be happy. Fed but homeless people just need a place to sleep in safety to be happy. A yuppie behind on his credit card debt just needs the minimum payment money to be happy. Somehow this works it way up to people needing cooler cars, or faster cars, or more cars to be happy. Ultimately some Saudi prince needs to gold plate one of his many cars in order to be happy. In the concentric circle you're in, it seems to make perfect sense. In the circles larger than your own, it looks absurd....... I think it's a Zen proverb that says If you're not happy here and now, you'll never be happy. I would say that you've got to find happiness in the process, not the result. We spend much of our time preparing to live, when we should just live. Go ahead and chase happiness, which will always out-accelerate you and elude you at the final turn. Me? I just enjoy the drive, the sights, the people, the view.

  5. The maximum speed for a human body falling in the lower atmosphere is around 120mph. So he might have gotten close to that at some point. The absolute maximum speed for a human body falling from way up around 100,000-120,000 feet altitude, is a bit over 600mph. The record is 614mph in 1960. There are people who want to break those records. edit: I recently found out that an aerodynamic object like a arrow shaped smooth bomb can fall at up to 2 1/2 times the speed of sound. If dropped from an extremely high altitude. 2200 mph+.

  6. For the record, I vote Brians pond. It meets all you pre req's and is an awesome party spot. But since you are to high class now for that Pratt did her wedding at the park in Lancaster and it meets all your pre req's too and was very nice. Prob very resonable on price too if you are interested I'll get the info from her or give her your number.

  8. When we were saying our goodbyes, I held up my helmet to them and said "I know it's a personal decision, but ride safe, guys." It was too hot to waste any more breath than that

  10. Am selling a set of 18x9 Front Fikse rims and 18x11 Back Fikse rims. These rims came off a 2001 SS Camaro. The pattern of the rim is a 5 star. They are not brand new but in good shape no curb rash. Could use a good polishing to bring them back to life. They are missing the center caps but can be bought on E-bay for about 50.00. Am going to ask 1,650 for them obo. The tires on the front will need to b replaced and back tires still have a little life on them. Make me an Offer
