Their dad has a clown phobia. Got them their costumes.

The kid is a boy. That's why he's playing the correct Football. Casper is doing the right thing

And if I am the voice of reason and tolerance in a thread you folks need to take a step back and reconsider your position.

Nice bike Doc, Open invitation to ride down here to the H.hills and I will show you some nice adventure style routes.

Three grandkids, age 5 to 7 for three days.

I have a great deal of respect for this. You "get it" even though you don't agree with it!

I have $6320 i will send western union. Both bikes wil I take. Send message with address and bank information. Return with bike both the over amount of money after cost to ship is subtracted. This is great deal for you...

Yes. Very nice ride. Just ask Gump.

Just don't call him Bob

Sorry but it is not that cut and dry, if it was we would all "as Christians" believe the same and do everything the same. As for what the Bible is quite clear on, once again it is all in how it is interpreted. Homosexuality is no different in the eyes of God than a lie, sin is sin to him.........man is incapable of not doing sin, but Jesus coming was the game changer. Why do you think there are so many denominations and "spin off beliefs" from the Roman Catholic Church and Judaism? Think about it this way.....if people actually followed the teachings of Christ in the Bible in their daily lives, there would be no need for all the other "man made" bullshit out there we are all subjected to non stop. Man does things for their own selfish reasons and means, this is nothing new nor will it ever stop. And if God is all knowing and you no longer associate yourself as a Christian, then would not God have known you were going to do that? So you now denounce Christ when you at one time accepted Christ, we may fall from grace but we never fully fall to the ground.

I absolutely believe this. No offense meant, but this is ultimately the reason I am no longer a Christian. I don't believe it all. To call myself a Christian would make me a hypocrite. I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but that's never stopped me before... You can't be Christian and also think there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. I don't care which you are, but you can't be both. The Bible is quite clear on the subject: http://www.openbible.info/topics/homosexuality Lately, I've seen much energy and mental gymnastics in articles where the author tries to re-interpret these verses to mean something different for those who'd prefer to walk both side of the fence. It's an act of futility. For example: https://www.gaychristian.net/justins_view.php

The hate was never knocked outta ya

I let them live their life their way as well. The unfortunate part for me, as a Christian, is that they are CLAIMING to be of the same faith, but as Pauly said, they leave parts of the Bible out. If the Bible is the book we are to live by, as Christianity believes, you cannot pick and choose. There are several issues that keep coming up to me where there is conflict between the Old and New Testaments that I've been trying to understand, and let me tell you, it ain't easy, or cut and dry!

I am curious, how much harm are the Catholics actually causing all of you? I kind of view them the same as gays, or African Americans or Mexicans. They don't bother me so I am happy to let them live their lives the way they want to. Same thing with the Jews, they are cool, they can have church on Saturday. Doesn't bother me a bit.

Or maybe Francis was just a fan of Carlin

I am afraid I have a different take on that. As I've said before, I think Pope Francis is a nice guy but a bad Catholic. He is working to get Catholic churches to help the poor. He wants to include people that may have not felt welcome. I have no problem with shaking up things in the Vatican............BUT a few of his ideas seem like a TV executive desperately trying to boost ratings. Don't like the church's stance on divorce? Well let's go ahead and water that down a bit. Don't like the church's stance on homosexuals? Hey we're willing to change. Does that make it easier for you to be Catholic. Great, please put your donation in the collection plate! Was God not willing to tell his wishes to previous Popes, but Francis is his new bestie? Did Francis get God to change his mind or is he just shopping easy answers that people want to hear? I don't think any religion can claim any sort of validity when it bows to pressure from current social opinions. The Catholic church needs to change to stay relevant. But how can a "True" religion change without running rife with hypocrisy?

Well done Nivin. The Ninja was way too much bike for you and you were honestly scared of it. That's no way to ride. Perfect new bike for you and I hope to see you in your comfort zone again. Look forward to riding with you in the near future.

Doc: Lots of info on both the buffeting issue and the instability at speed. Not just a problem with the new Stroms--been talked about since they first came out. For the buffeting, you'll need to play with the angle and height of the windscreen. I added a Madstadt bracket to the screen for adjustability and a laminar lip to push air over my helmet. Pretty much cures the helmet buffeting but the low frequency noise from turbulence is still noticeable. As for the instability, there are a couple of plays: 1) raise the forks in the triple clamps 10-15 mm to lower the front; 2) add a steering stabilizer; 3) try lower the tire pressures just a bit. There's a couple of stories on the StromTrooper forum about the bike going into a tank slapper at 100+ MPH. I've upgraded my front fork with RT springs and Gold Valves, added a HD rear shock and replaced the caged ball-type steering stem bearings with tapered roller bearings, and the Wee still doesn't like anything over 90-95 MPH. When I add soft luggage for touring, it exacerbates the wobble. Nature of the beast....

Just some input from riding a naked SV650 a shit load the past 3 years, you'll get used to the wind and riding position pretty quick. When I first started riding and getting to highway speeds it felt like the bike was buffeting and wobbling, because it probably was, due to not being conditioned to it. But that goes away and you'll unconsciously remedy that. I can ride 80 on the highway one handed sitting back now with so many miles on the bike and feel perfectly comfortable and safe. The wind from naked bike doesn't even bother me anymore. So just saying you're bound to fall in love with that bike once you've broke each other in.Also. Congrats, that new Strom looks badass, and bullet proof motor as many already know.

Your supposed to save that meal for just before they go home. Ya' know, so their parents will appreciate having them back all the more.
