I will not be late, more like half an hour early.

If there is no rain I'll leave my place at 10:00AM, google maps says 2:43 of drive time, with a gas stop I expect to be there at 1:00 which will be plenty of time to head out at 1:30

The good doctor gave us a prescription of shut the fuck up, troll. Along with a doctors excuse for at least a week off.

This has been played out before; all of the quotes are from another forum. It doesn't appear that English is his first language or he is not all that educated. There are better was to go about what he is trying to do and if he needs others to tell him how to be successful I doubt he will be. Alienating the motorcycle community by lying to them or thinking that they are too stupid to see through your spamming bullshit isn't the best approach.
-
Before he comes back in here defending himself I would suggest he not bother. I belong to another motorcycle forum that had the exact same post made in it. Come back in here to lie and we will have fun with you, I doubt it will be worth your time.

Spam, burn it with fire

Exactly why I don't like politicians and this one is included, I don't like a lot of his political convictions and his compromising weak kneed lack of backbone to get ahead politically can’t we all just get along bipartisan bullshit. Don't get me started on the other guy.

The government did not buy the auto companies; they stole them from the owners. Not one shareholder was paid anything for their shares. Then the government went about giving away shares to the unions and trying to sell the remainder to new investors. Our money they gave to the companies went to shore up money the companies owed itself and left thousands of suppliers without payment for money owed to them. When they are in trouble again what do you think will happen? It was a failing business model that should have failed but its problems were so similar to governments that the government stepped in to reset the playing field and left thousands of people without money in their retirement accounts but they weren't union members or public employees so it was okay because they picked new winners.

Trigger happy cops should not be an issue for this event or any group ride for that matter. None of the group leaders should be leading through any town with posted speed limits more than ten over posted limits. If they do they should expect a ticket and they are going too fast.

Thanks for the valuable recon.

I haven't talked to her about that, she is supposed to be working Saturday. If you're interested I'll dress real pretty just for you. I have always liked the bike as well and if I didn't already have three two wheeled vehicles I would want this. I love the Ninja 250 but would have tired of it as my first bike, this bike is a great first bike that you can keep for several years.

This bike belongs to my cousins daughter, I'm trying to drive some traffic for her. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/3304668899.html Yes, she is cute, no, I won't post pictures of her. If anyone needs to see it I might be able to make it appear on the dream ride.

I didn't state no big deal; the other companies would have been able to fill the need though. They also would need to hire more qualified people; the suppliers would get back to full capacity. There would be better stability to the market where the supply chain would be paid for their work instead of worrying about getting shafted by a mismanaged company. Currently developed products would be able to put out more capacity, the R&D for upcoming products would be in the waiting already and they would be able to increase capacity on those as well. In the three to five years that the existing products and developed products are put to market they could have hired and created the infrastructure to meet the new market demands. I assumed you had a network of people to draw from, the people you associate with and the people I do have two very different opinions about their businesses though. It's not a level playing field; it's about managing a company so it can be sustained. American auto companies made the mistakes of how they chose to offer benefit packages the other companies didn't, one is able to survive the other isn't. Just because the government doesn't like the outcome of those consequences doesn't mean they should take money from the rest of us to reset the playing field. See above remarks, new products are already developed before release. Capacities can be increased on existing products and the forecast for developed products would increase. Most projects I've been involved with were for products that were three to five years from release, I have even worked on one particular project that was eight years out.
-
Yes, the remaining ones that were running effectively would have had a bigger market share and added capacity to meet the needs. Are you speaking to employees of public company suppliers that were at one time owned by the big three or are you talking to owners of privately held suppliers? My firsthand feedback is much different than yours; I am talking to owners of privately held companies that are also suppliers or management from these companies. This wasn't manipulation like the currency manipulation it was less government burden to allow survival in the market that changed too rapidly for them to adjust. What our government did here had little effect on the global market for the businesses involved. They are structured and were doing okay globally by the new economy standards anyway. I didn't say they were American car companies but you made a very nice list.

I can go on and on about why people are so pissed at the auto bailout but you don't seem to understand. The company was taken from one group of people (Shareholders that spent their money for retirement & investments.) and given to another group (Union.) free of dept. (They gave shares back to the government for payoff.) This was nothing but legalized robbery with the government picking its own version of winners. I do know that a small minority of auto companies were in dept and the government tried to manipulate that but the industry would have survived stronger without them. I have worked for suppliers or been a supplier for six auto companies, the industry as a whole would have survived fine without the two companies that were bailed out. I also realize that the shareholders would have never gotten back all of their value but suppliers could have been paid and the companies had enough assets that could have been sold to at least given the investors pennies on their dollar instead of nothing, only to give the company away to the unions and potential new investors. (The government is trying to sell their shares.) I am just as pissed about the Wall Street bailout as I am the auto bailout. I also know of the hardships it would have placed on the economy by not acting. Pay a little now or pay a lot later, the problem was just kicked down the road by bailing them out. Making something tangible has nothing to do with the validity of a business nor should it for the government to manipulate the market. There were more auto companies operating fine without our governments help (I know Japan has helped their companies, our government is my concern.) than needed it so the ability to move things by vehicle wasn't going away if that’s what you needed to see to legitimize government intrusion.

I've been with the same woman for 16 years without being married trust me it's locked down. I will laugh at the fool that would try to step up to show me how it's supposed to be done mostly because she would eat them alive.

The difference between a 5K dog and a 1K dog is only $33 a month using a ten year life expectancy. Don't be a cheap bastard, buy what you really want because you will be looking at it for a very long time.

Daniel Defense has six barrels in 16" do you know which one? Only one magazine going with it?

That is too funny, thanks for the laugh, +rep. It was nice meeting you, you old squid, you kept me from being the old guy on the ride. If you identify yourself as a monkey to be offended by the comment then maybe you should be offended. If anyone from my family acts like an animal feel free to call them any type of name you choose.

What happened to the tail section?
