I don't know what you mean, if what you're saying is ignorant and stupid then why waste time conversing with you.

I think there should be an award for ignorance and stupidity that JRMiii can add to his multiple other awards. Shouldn't a mod or admin ban JRMiii for calling crb a racist.

I hate the way a Glock looks and feels in my hand but it will shoot more accurately than a field grade 1911 and run dirtier. My opposition to a 1911 is in its weight and complexity to deploy with all of the extra parts it has that can fail. It is not hard to train to the 1911 manual of arms but in a high stress situation you shouldn't need to release a stupid safety and they generally have a small capacity. While my analogy has its flaws because you are correct that modern cars are more complex than older cars so working on them is harder but it holds solid on other parts. General operation is much simpler and safer for the masses. I don't really care how hard they are to work on, that is not what a user needs to worry themselves over. Pick it up, pull the trigger and it goes bang. Real simple and way safer than the overly complex 1911, this is an improvement that has been made over time. We don’t have to crank our cars to start them or shift gears; we are much better protected from the elements. We are capable of doing these things for ourselves but they over complicate the user interface.

Why are grips necessary? Thumbing a safety is an extra unnecessary step with a weapon that wasn't designed around bureaucracy requirements. I would venture to guess that if Browning didn't have the requirements given to him he would have made a much better weapon. A dependable reliable duty weapon doesn't need to be worked on or stripped to the extent a 1911 does. A Glock for example will function more accurately and dirtier than a 1911. The accurately statement changes when you get to match grade 1911s but their ability to handle a dirty environment is greatly diminished. The number of government agencies that choose a particular platform adds no weight to me for my decision making. Sigs and Glocks are better represented than 1911s but that doesn't mean they are a better platform. The new generations of Glocks are a tribute to their ability to change with what’s needed. None of us would want to drive a vehicle that was made in 1911 because we find ways to improve them just like pistol manufactures have been able to simplify and improve designs. I have had my hands on and worked on thousands of 1911s and seen their flaws and accuracy. I have had my hands on hundreds of other platforms and find them for me to be better weapons of choice for how I feel a weapon needs to be used. I'm not bashing your choice but when you make a statement that a 1911 is simple you couldn't be more wrong when comparing them to other platforms.

You had me until that statement. Simple? Really? A weapon designed by committee to function at the lowest common factor using them is not simple. The numbers of manual safeties are just not necessary and certainly make them anything but simple. They are wonderful target shooters with triggers unequaled in the handgun world of semi-autos. They can be used as carry weapons successfully but there are way better choices. Yes, I have carried a 1911 but once I was able to make the decision for myself about what to carry a 1911 went way down the list. I will purchase a 1911 someday for nostalgia reasons they are cool and sexy to look at but it will never be a carry weapon for me.

I used the service Tuesday morning after my water pump went out on me about 2AM driving north on 71/75 around Walton, Kentucky. They had a truck to me within 30 minutes of calling them. Anyone know how far south the traffic cameras are used in Kentucky? I'm fairly certain now that if they are that far south they don't use them for traffic enforcement.

I have been pulled over by the police while I was letting a 10 year old relative drive a scooter in Cuyahoga County and we were let go. I took him to a parking lot, let him sit in front of me, we rode around the lot until he and I were comfortable then away we went back to the house. He was a very good rider but he does have his own dirt bike so he wasn't new to riding. The cop didn't even make him get behind me when we left he just wanted to make sure it looked like I was the one in control. I'm sure he still talks about it at school.

You are correct.

If you hook up with us at the meeting spot we won't leave you, just like any other group ride. You won't be as cool as the rest of us but there will be so much cool in the immediate area that there will be some spill over to take care of what you're lacking by riding one of them there crotch-rockets.

Good responce to a snarky fucktard comment.

You know how I know you're old? You think a TL is a sport bike.

If you have any motorcycle experience at all avoid the MSF course. If you are brand new to the operation of a bike then it is a worth while endeavor. The more I hear about the MSF course the more I don't like it. I had done a lot of dirt bike riding before I got my first street bike and never took the course. I rode a lot of years with plenty of oh shit moments but still thinking I could ride. I didn't know anything about how to handle a bike until I did a few track days. I can't recommend them enough to new riders.

Only if you can keep the gray in my hair from showing up in the pictures. (Of course you can.) Make sure you have a high speed lens though; scooters are hard to catch with their mind blowing speeds. 16" wheels, dual front disk brakes, steel braided brake lines, get used to this view. Regard, regard and burn with envy!

Look for it in your rear view mirrors, it's an "S" model don't you know!

Lose ten pounds or loose ten pounds? What is it that you really want to do? If you lose the ten pounds, then we won't be able to find them. That would be a good thing. But if you loose the ten pounds, you set them free to roll about like a tumbleweed. Ten pounds on the loose would not be a good thing. LOSE means to lack the possession of, to come to be without. LOOSE means not tight. LOOSEN means to unfasten something or make it less constraining. Examples: The hockey team doesn't want to lose the game. The girl had such a bad sunburn that she could only wear loose clothes. Set the dog loose. Don't tie him up again. I am so frustrated! I always seem to lose my keys. Loosen your hold on the bat. You are gripping it much too tightly! http://www.lessontutor.com/eeslose.html 9th grade grammar

Donut? Donut? Never mind my previous posts about driving home with your spare. A spare is not a donut on a tow vehicle.

Offset is very important if you expect to use it without trying it first then the tire rubs the trailer frame and you are stuck without a backup plan. While the load rating is important if your offset is wrong you won't even get to test the load rating.

Are you sure about this? Have you tried it on the trailer and spun the wheel. If it bolts on and spins freely then you are good to go but you need to check the offsets to be sure. If it works I would use it to get home no matter how far it is. Single axle trailers don't seem to get as many flats as the dual axle ones, at least for me anyways.

It would be just fine. My 250 scooter will keep up with a Ninja 250. We will have smaller scooters on the ride though and the group rides pace you are used to won't be happening. Riding slow bikes fast is just as much fun as blasting around on the sport bikes.

So, we are renting and selling scooters here now. This ride is going to happen while breaking all the rules.

I have it cut but it's not stippled yet. I will be needing 19 magazines now.

More storage in a scooter so you can back more ammo. We could add a zombie hunt along the ride.

I was just messing with MT about that. 50cc scooters won't go much over 40MPH but if someone would start in New Concord I don't see that as much of a proplem on 555. There is a guy riding this on an old Yamaha 175 enduro. They didn't put a T-Max on the rental contracts so I will have to check if they could do that. I might have my brothers 150 available but there are three people ahead of you for that one but I'm sure two of them don’t really want to and are just thinking it's a good idea until it actually happens.
