And so the debates begin again. The court ruled that it is a tax and within the government’s authority, they didn't decide if it was a good law or not. I don't see where you are going with "everyone will be involved in the system at some point". That doesn't mean the government should be involved in every business we all get involved with, I can't get my mind around the leap it takes to find it okay for the government to decide the businesses I use. Their involvement only means that the cost is driven up such as is already is now by making the businesses give away free services.

Wow, very, very disappointed in this outcome. Hopefully the republicans can get a super majority in place to repeal the law all together. This is another nail in the coffin of the debt that is not sustainable by government and it accelerates the spiral to harsh decisions that will forever change the countries future. I'm not sure I will recognize this country in twenty years.

This is going to be a very busy news day. http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/06/anticipating-the-health-care-decision-in-plain-english/#more-147840

What the hell do you know you don't even work at a Honda dealership or drive cool cars.

http://www.buschurracing.com/ Closer for a dyno check and they know turbos really well. Dave is an asshole, knows his shit and is cool as hell if you can make it past the asshole part. Seems priced right but I don't know if I trust putting a turbo on a non turbo car especially buying it third hand. I don't know this but would guess that that high revving motor has too much compression for a turbo. If the H.P. numbers are correct to the wheels that thing would be crazy to drive. I say go with a non turbo CR model, might pay a bit more but won't have the headaches.

I approve of the course this thread has taken but would like to encourage vvvpr to keep trying. These dumb brainwashed kids don't have a clue about what freedom is and can't draw from enough life experiences to be truly enlightened. Keep schooling them maybe one or two will get it but based on the makeup of this board that’s the best you can hope for.

blaa, blaa thanks, blaa, blaa seeing your dad again, blaa, blaa nice ride down, blaa, blaa first time Iron Pony, blaa, blaa bike haven’t seen long time, blaa, blaa no uglies for me, blaa, blaa long boring ride home, blaa, blaa checked out new Cleveland casino, blaa, blaa ate at Brasa.... I learned some VERY disturbing information about Justin today that makes me sad and means that we can no longer hang out together. I'm questioning my judgment about hanging out with the rest of the folks around here too, sad just sad.

Are you leaving from your folks place or home? I'm riding a really minty 2001 W650 for a couple weeks, if you're leaving from up here I might tag along if you don't mind waiting for me.

Why no 2000 class?

Much props to the man for forming a plan, executing it and actually has it work out in his favor. Not always the case when alcohol is involved because it multiplies the variables infinitely.

Only copious amounts of alcohol needed.

Now I understand why you are staying that far north when all of the good roads are south of there you cock hound. Good luck on the 27th I rode 80 on my way back from the gap. The road has a lot of potential but it is very dirty, has driveways and cross roads everywhere. Not to mention all the coal trucks, coal miners driving to work and every redneck in a pickup. I rode forty miles of it in both directions between 1:00PM and 7:00PM on a weekday it's a great road but traffic and hazards keep it from being a destination road. I would use it to get somewhere on a motorcycle trip but wouldn't go out of my way to get on it without having other roads to ride. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=VA-80+E%2FState+Route+768&daddr=VA-80+E%2FHonaker+Rd&hl=en&sll=37.133065,-82.1129&sspn=0.592302,1.234589&geocode=Fa9AOQIdbVIY-w%3BFWT1MwIdytId-w&mra=ls&t=m&z=10

Shouldn't you be going to jail soon how are you planning a trip?

You do not count as you are too fast to ride with. I bet Chris can tell you how awesome this road is though.

Pauly took us on this rode Friday, I went back to it Saturday & if it wasn't raining Sunday would have been back on it again. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=GA-60+S&daddr=GA-60&hl=en&sll=34.62764,-83.954867&sspn=0.001194,0.002411&geocode=FTAoFAIdopD6-g%3BFXFgEAIdlfL--g&mra=ls&t=m&z=11 If you can make this road part of your trip you will not be disappointed, especially on a supermoto. The majority of bikes I saw on that road were supermotos.

This may be true but they turn way, way, way better than the XX.

By far a superior choice over the soulless CBR1100XX

Korean not Chinese

You list bikes that are practical and serve your stated purpose then throw in a want and desire bike, doesn't make sense. The other bikes all handle way better, are lighter and have better ergonomics. You can surely do better for a want and desire bike than an outdated bike that was developed in the mid 90s and hasn't been sold for nine years.

How in the hell does the CBR1100XX make it on a list with the other bikes for any kind of close comparison? It is subjectively the best looking and can get 200 miles out of a tank but has none of the qualities the others have for your stated intentions. Is this another matter of a mistaken 636=650 or am I missing something?

I would like to see the word "Marine" removed from the thread title. Not a judgment call on the original post or its subject but just to keep it from being associated with all the stupid that followed. It has nothing to do with the discussion.
