This brings up another issue with government healthcare. What is the incentive for research when the government will regulate your compensation for developing a new product that can cure a disease?

I would have done that except I broke my riding pants so I was wearing a one piece aerostich type coveralls. They are too hard to get out of to pee standing still let alone riding.

You were doing that on purpose for your own entertainment, you bastard. I was trying to speed things up to make up for the time I made us all stop just so I could go pee.

Listen you fucking foreigner stay out of our bitch session or we will send you back home to your healthcare system. (Or the Carolinas)

Don't let that shit happen again! I understand not knowing how long it was going to take getting ready to ride. You made it to the start point on time so all was good. I would have left without you. This is why I question trailering to the start point. It takes longer to drive there because it's hard to pass towing a trailer and then you have to unload and gear up. Might be worth it not to freeze though. Thanks for getting us together.

This might be a problem, adding the extra weight would slow them down. To get the maximum amount of fun in for the whole family you need to be able to go as fast as possible, sometimes you have to sacrifice a little safety to achieve that goal. You wouldn’t want to disappoint the little one by making him cry because he had to go slow would you?

The only reason the Mexican manufacturing was able to maintain any quality was because they were using US tooling. Once the ability to purchase quality US tooling is gone quality will become an issue again. You can get quality tooling from overseas but you have to have the stateside engineering to follow up, you can't give them free rein over engineering decisions. Garbage in garbage out. The Chinese will give you what you are asking for weather it's what you really need or not. You can't cut cost across the board and expect quality to be maintained. You need someone with experience to guide the process.

You just solved the whole problem right there. The government mandates treatment but doesn't fund it. Hospitals have to give services away so they pass the cost on to their other consumers. The government created the problem they are trying to fix. I really don’t trust them not to screw this up even bigger.

Welcome, glad to see you made it here, don’t let the guys scare you, I'm a pussy cat. Hope to see you on a new bike this summer. I have only met him a few times but I'm going to guess no on the Marine subject. I would have asked him if I thought we had that in common.

Ugly too. I am a much prettier black man.

The CEO will do what he has to by keeping his company competitive. This will be moving the rest of his production offshore. Medicare already reimburses at the lowest rate of any insurance provider so if he wants’ any type of company left he will have to reduce his costs to remain a viable option in the medical field.

^What he said^ Do a little research and you will find the answer to this age old question. I'm wondering if the OP has some cruiser friends. Whenever possible I ride in front of the guy with loud pipes. This must make me an idiot because he should be out front warning all the people behind him that we are coming. http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/streetsurvival/dangerous_motorcycle_safety_myths/index.html http://motorcyclebloggers.com/2005/07/25/the-myth-of-loud-pipes-saves-lives/ Plus many more.

Thanks for that post, it made me laugh as hard as any post in a long time. Stick around, you'll understand why. Starting an argument gives the mods something to do; it’s kind of like a sport. There seems to be some confusion about how much the fine is for not having healthcare insurance. I have heard as low as $700 and as high as $5,000. Both numbers are good in my book and can pose a significant savings for most of us. Let's say I am paying $550 a month now for insurance but I don't use it. That is a cost of $6,600 a year. This will give me a savings of $1,600 a year if I just pay the fine and there is no down side because pre-existing conditions can't be turned down to generate a new policy. I guess this is a good thing except I thought this was supposed to be free.

I have only begun. Wait until the libtard Justin gets here tomorrow and start posting links to other people’s opinions on how this is a good thing. That's when the real fun will start. I really don't expect this will stay on topic too long. I will be posting up all kinds of things speculating about what this bill is because it hasn't totally passed yet so we don't know what's in it yet. They have to pass it before we will know what's in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To

The slippery slope is a huge fucking mountain. High risk activities like a high fat diet could be outlawed. How about an hour of government mandated exercise every day? Traffic tickets equals higher healthcare premiums. The actuaries the government will be using will be much broader than the ones insurance companies are using. There is nothing wrong with an insurance company raising a rate for high risk activities it's your choice to pay the cost. When your high risk activity affects the rest of us because it costs us money the government should legislate that activity out of existence to save us from you.

Before we have a revolution I'm hoping the Senate can find a procedural loop hole to keep this from passing. It’s dubious because they only need a simple majority now but it’s my last chance of hope to get this stupid piece of shit legislation killed. Next comes the constitutional challenges and the hope the republicans can get the majority back in both the house and senate to repeal it.

Next time try zip ties. I find the straps to be too long, zip ties are much easier to work with.

Lane splitting should be legal everywhere.

Don't ride your Katana in Coshocton

Made it home, 360 miles for me today all on two wheels none of that trailering sissy stuff for me. No one went down so it was a good day. Froze my as off getting to the meeting place and riding home from the meeting place. IP is a slacker.

I might be doing this. No way am I leaving at 9:00 AM though and 10:00 AM is pushing it. I have to leave an hour and a half earlier to make the start time. I have no problem with 9:00 AM in the summer but damn it's still too cold in the morning.

Hey, that's not fair Justin lives in Elyria. Now I can see how you came to that conclusion.

I'm in that area a lot and I haven't seen him. I suspect he is out here for the funeral. I can't get home because of the crowd. I have never seen so many people at the funeral home. I go by it every day on my way to Grafton. There are so many people there that they are parking across the street in the church parking lot. The traffic really started to suck when they put Wal-Mart in so the intersection has been improved some in its ability to handle a larger volume of traffic.

I thought the retards rode cruisers or twins.
