  1. If we are going to let Wet Personal Lubricant advertise in links shouldn't they become a sponsor?
  2. What is wrong with cherry picking your risk? Auto insurance providers do it all the time. What is wrong with paying more if you are sick? We are not all equal and shouldn't be treated as such. The government shouldn't be there to punish those who make wise choices just to reward those who don't. I understand my healthcare is part of my budget because I value it and I don't expect it to be free. We all make choices to what we value in our lives and spend accordingly. It's not the governments place to make our entire choices equal. You can keep your existing plan but with that came the proposed dreaded government option that would have taken away all choices in a very quick time because it didn't have to make a profit. You can't compete against a business model that isn't a business. The tools are to get the federal government out of the states way by not imposing unfunded mandates upon them. The numbers they are using are wrong. They are factoring in the actual cost of the healthcare first. If you want to argue this numbers game go right ahead but both sides have numbers to support their argument. I can show articles with projected savings of 5.4 billion a year. If you can't see your way clear to understand that this cost savings is a good thing I don't know how to talk down to that level of reasoning to help persuade you.
  3. Number one: let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines. Number two: allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do. Number three: give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs. Number four: end junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it's good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.
  4. Plans that make no sense and can't be fiscally justified sounds to me exactly like the Democrats plans. The Republicans have a complete list of changes they are willing to vote for regarding healthcare. Just because the obstructionist Democrats don’t agree with them I don’t think they shouldn’t pass. I won't disagree that some changes need to be made with the healthcare system but I think the biggest problems to the system came about from government interference. They have created a problem and now are presenting themselves as the solution. I don't trust their leadership if they don't have the foresight to understand the problems they have created by mandating a business gives away services. If free markets have not presented a solution that the majority of the people are satisfied with then by virtue of it being a free market an alternative solution would have been presented. I do not think healthcare is a service the government needs to be involved in much the same as I don't think they need to be involved in public transportation. There are no public transit systems that I know of that are self sustaining from a generated revenue stream. They all have to be subsidized why not subsidize transportation for all of us; I want a new car on the government. That sounds ridiculous just as much as I think it does for me to expect the government to provide me with healthcare.
  5. That might be one way to characterize his assessment of obstructionism. My way would be that when something gets done it doesn't just reflect one party’s agenda it should be something that is good for all of us that both parties can agree on. Those things do happen and there is not much debate or criticism of such laws. Obstructionism rules, just ask the people of Massachusetts, they voted for it.
  6. Again I would suggest buying from a vendor that is a sponsor. I would think they could match these prices. If not here is the link to where I found the prices posted above. http://www.lithiummotorsports.net/index.htm
  7. Brian is correct that Parts Unlimited has different price structures for different sales volumes. He is also correct on how the distributor network works. I know a guy who knows a guy and he told me. Tire prices are great for everyone right now get them while they're hot. PILOT POWER 120/180 set - 187.98 shipped PILOT POWER 2CT 120/180 set - 201.98 shipped POWER PURE - NEW TIRE AND NOW IN STOCK!!!!!!!!!!! 120/180 set - 219.98 shipped POWER ONE RACE TIRE - 120/180 set - 321.98 shipped These are prices you can find on the internet. I would suggest buying from site sponsors. I would think they all should have similar prices.
  8. ^ This guy could eat our tires with a little hot sauce.
  9. No, he is protesting getting married so he can keep his money.
  10. I will put the Amish up against the Jews any day when it comes to keeping their money. You guys know Justin is Amish don't you.
  11. Lesson #1 posting for dummies complete. On to lesson #2, how do you get routes inside the maps?
  12. Can you explain what this is? Cool, I can see maps in posts. How are you going about doing this?
  13. As soon as the dealership gets one in I will contact HER. If a deal is to be made it will include a clause that you can't ride it.

    Testing

    Whatever you're testing you have hidden it very well.
  15. You should change your gearing back to stock, I hear that helps tire life.
  16. You post whoring, Suzuki squid, liberal bastard now I hate you. Us folks is getting together to donkeypunch your white ass or do your girlfriend.
  17. I want him to come by and pray over my bike. That bug killing, tire eating bitch needs saved.
  18. The tone did change once it was moved here but I still don't understand why it was moved. It got ridiculous for a while but would not have it would have been left alone. I am missing where it went to bashing. I really don't think the mod that moved it read the whole thing. Not that I think it was going on but is cop bashing against the rules? There were enough level headed people involved in the discussion that it wouldn't have degraded without good counter points. Single post nonsense is usually ignored. If you say something stupid expect to be called out on it. To move a discussion simply because you don't like it's content when no rules are being violated is petty and not needed. It sets the tone of the board to reflect a mods sensibility and leaves no room for other view points if this same standard is applied to all threads. How boring would it be if all of the board’s discussions were just about one person’s interests? If I missed some rule breaking or bashing let me know I can deal with that. What do I know I'm just a post whore who likes conflict?
  19. Guns is bad. It convinced my son to point it at himself and pull the trigger, you can't trust them they have mind control powers. I don't know what I would do in that situation but I think I would have drawn down on him as soon as his hands came back into sight without the gun when he put it behind him in his waistband. The cop might have made some mistakes but his outcome ended up just fine for himself, I'm glad he got to go home that night. Plus one for the good guy. I still think moving this thread was uncalled for and served no good purpose. Were people complaining about it?

  21. I raced CCS in 2008 but was a mid pack amateur and would never be able to run a set of takeoffs on my street bike. You're the man if you have tire left running an expert pace. Only if there is some squid behind me on a twin. Or any southeast road containing three digits to describe it.
