  4. Are you saying Novice is for Novices until you show you are no longer a Novice and it takes a few runs to determine that for sure? That seems to make sense to me.

  8. There is not a single person proposing to tax the shit out of low income people. Just make it the same percentage across the board. Remove the federal corporation tax and let the states deal with corporate taxation and keep it local. Then states and local governments can compete to draw business and manufacturing. people have a misconception that hourly rates are the only reason companies move overseas. If you remove the tax burden you can actually pay people well and compete with low wage/quality countries. Magically you do not need all the extra tax money to fund the welfare state because they have decent paying jobs. We have been robbing the rich to pay the lazy for so long that nobody even understands how we got here or how to go back.

  9. Selling my 2011 Z1K, I am the original owner and put 21,000 pleasurable miles on this beast. Still has many more miles in her. The motorcycle has been down...at around 14,000 miles, but I put it back together - mostly cosmetic damage, but I did replace the gas tank, bars, and headlight along with some fairings. Obviously I have put 7000+ miles on it since - the bike is straight, will make a great deal for someone. Many of the OR Board members can vouch for the capability of this motorcycle. I have ridden with many of you, Pauly has worked on it (and rode it), and other have ridden it. Please PM me for details if truly interested...I have put it on OR before anywhere else to give somebody a good deal. Thanks for looking Dave G.

  15. Both candidates should be thrown in the river and we should start over. Hillary cracks me up...rich people should pay their "fair share". Huh. What about the 45% of people who pay zero taxes (most of whom suckle a the teet of those that do so they take but don't give). Are they paying their fair share? Socialism here we come.

  22. Every time that I receive a notice for a new posting in this thread, the same thoughts always enter my mind: The debate on paying their fair share takes attention from the fact the the federal government has grown significantly faster than the rate of inflation. The government will never have enough money. They will continue to spend ever increasing amounts with impunity. (See every socialist nation in the history if the world). The national debt has nearly doubled under the current administration, and the costs to service the debt will increase significantly in the future. (Not happy with republicans on this issue either). The government cannot create wealth without taking from somebody else first. Rant over.

  27. @Lawrence1 I had to respond to your post, altho I know it's a loser's game to debate shit like this on the internet...but hey, it's icky out and I'm not riding today, so... Almost all of the "rich people ploys" you've listed above are available to average folks as well, and may even benefit them to a larger percentage basis since there are income caps that phase out some of the more well-known tax dodges like IRA/401-K contributions. I'm old and have been retired for 10 years, but I worked for 37 years and used most of the above tools to get where I am today. Now, lest you lump me in with the 1%--which maybe I am based on total net worth--I worked at an average hourly wage my entire career. Started out making $88/week--that's gross, not take home--in 1969 and was making about $60K gross when I retired in 2006. A decent salary, no doubt, but nowhere near the stuff of an investment banker. I started putting money into the stock market in 1971 and have contributed to a retirement account ever since, expanding to both a traditional and a Roth IRA when the opportunity was given by the IRS. I've bought and sold 5 houses over the years, making money on each one and reinvesting the value in the next one. With the exception of incorporating or moving money off-shore, I've done something of the kind in nearly everyone of your numbered list. 1) Doesn't matter whether you sell common or preferred stock, you pay taxes--either ST or LT capital gain--on the difference between cost basis and market value at the time of sale. I happen to live on the dividends from my stock investments and pay both federal and state tax on the amount yearly. 2) Didn't do this, although I have vacationed in the Bahamas once or twice... 3) Never got stock options either, but you can damn well be sure I would have taken advantage of them if offered. 4) The few obscenely rich folks who may take advantage of this unusual and obscure ploy typically get nailed to the wall sooner or later. We're talking Securities and Exchange Commission stuff here. 5) Everyone who has ever sold a house and rolled the gains into their next abode have used this dodge. The gain is eventually taxed when the appreciated property is sold, with the exception of a primary residence. 6) Anyone can do this. Use the equity in your house to purchase stocks and use the dividends to pay the second mortgage. This is actually pretty damn hard to do if you think about it, and risky as hell, but more power to you if you want to walk that line. 7) Ordinary folks do this everyday. Become a landlord and buy rental property. It's a lot of work and headache, but pretty damn profitable over the long haul. 8) I did the exact same thing every year when I redirected a percentage of my earnings to a 401-K or IRA and paid zero tax on the contribution amount. 9) I gift my kids money every year. They're in their 30s and 40s and have their own kids and mortgages and are busting their asses to make it. The money is tax-free to them BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY PAID TAX ON IT. Not sure how this is dodge. When I donate to a charity, I do gift the highly appreciated stock and get a write-off for the full market amount. I bought the stock decades ago and paid far less per share, but money was "more valuable" then. You know, inflation and all that. See how that works? 10) This is available to everyone. You don't have to be rich to get this deduction. I had a crappy old river cruiser that I paid $10K for. It had a galley and a cabin and a potty. It would have qualified for the second home mortgage deduction if I had taken out a loan to buy it. The fact that neither you nor I can afford a yacht or a vacation home in Aspen isn't a sign that those who can afford these things are tax cheats. Your whine sounds a bunch like sour grapes. Get over it--life isn't fair.

  29. Oooohhhhhh nice idea. I did put in an order for a cz scorpion. Last time I ordered 5.7, I think I got it from palmetto. Not sure why, but at the time they were cheapest. Check slickguns.com or whatever it is for going ammo prices if you haven't already

  33. Boy howdy, you are really good at twisting words and blowing smoke out yer ass. I don't recall bragging about having "a few million"...s'matter of fact, I live pretty frugally on less money per year in retirement than I made when I was working. If you try really hard, go back and concentrate on reading my posts. Not one of them was written in a partisan tone or espousing either candidate. I was under the impression we were having an economic discussion about the future of America. Based on your emotional and disjointed responses here, you must be one of more opinionated and unintelligent posters in this thread. But you sure got a loud mouth! I'm done.

  39. Not to punch it in.. but every org worth its salt has you follow the leader in novice till lunch.. it is a school not a go out and bone your ride or someone else day.. its geared towards those whom have never been on track and need to learn the basics... and the visor is an everywhere situation.. are your glasses under your visor shatter resistant? We dont know that.. its safety and should be common knowledge but we cover it anyways.. btw... use the coaches we're there to help you get better.. previous racer or not. There is always something to learn. Always a better line choice, later braking marker, better body position and so on... dont be a "loner" who gets upset that they can't ride their ride when they have never been to a place before.. lest you end up an out of control shit lined rolling road block.

  41. You know what, this all you right wing wacko's fault. The amount of money it costs for these social programs is NOTHING in comparison to how much money you bastards spend trying to kill Arabs. How has that worked out for you? Are they dead? Have they given up? Fuck no, you are all total failures. So how about we cut defense spending in half, double the spending on social programs/education and give everyone a tax cut. We would have money left over to burn not to mention buy @Bad324 a bike.
