No doubt!

Ditto, was out from about 1-5 riding and doing some errands. Temp was great but roads were still a bit damp in spots, so got a pretty good amount of dirty spray on the underside so sprayed it down for a few minutes, wiped her down and back to the garage she goes. Days like today are why I can get through winter time blues. OH and I finally crested 1500 miles on the ODO, which means no more "break-in" rev restraint according to the manual! w00t!

Nothing like making the people think you're listening. No one in politics gives a shit what "the people" want. They all just pander to get elected then assume they got elected because "the people" wanted them to vote the way they already think.

Looks like forecast says no rain for Dayton/SW Ohio til around 5pm, so plenty of time for fun! w00t!

Yes you can

This is the CCW gun I've always wanted and in .40 cal to boot. Sadly I don't have one in 9mm to trade, just a PK380

Planning to head out tomorrow morning once temps warm up. Might just go get lost for a tank of gas or two ;-) Might head down to Lebanon/Morrow area to find some decent roads if anyone is interested.

""would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust" So is this now an argument in court? I would like to argue the ticket for driving 35 in a 25 down a deserted 4 lane road on WSU campus meets this definition.

What shit. If John Doe got pulled over with that in his back seat and nothing else he'd be charged.

I'm hoping for Friday rain to rinse the roads off for Saturday.

Yeah, but you can always just hose the bike down afterward, even if you don't give it a full wash. Haha, thanks. That's part of the reason. I actually considered just taking the R6 out, but I couldn't bear it. It was probably the most boring ride I've been on, but was still well worth it. I'll be leaving the cover off in case weather permits through the weekend.

How long do you guys wait in the Spring before you ride? 2 thunderstorms? 3 thunderstorms? I got out today. Just a quick trip around the block. Not wet around here and all that precipitation we just had must have rinsed a lot of salt off. Hell, Thurs/Fr/Sat/Sun it wont even get down to freezing so if you're that worried you can always hose it down afterwards.

Broadcasting their location is a great idea! There's no way you could possibly bust that system right before you commit a crime

Friday/Saturday are a 30% and 20% chance of rain, respectively

Anyone planning to ride Saturday? Looks to rain Thurs/Fri which should clear a lot of the salt off the roads too! I've always said: you can count on one riding day in January around here and it seems to be coming!

Yup, and they need to be charged differently.

Doesn't look like it matters, according to NOCO: Sounds like they recommend charging sealed motorcycle batteries with AGM settings, something to consider I suppose.

5 shots to the face and neck and he's living?

Will do

This is from batterystuff.com http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/battery-basics.html#3 Wikipedia on VRLA batteries seems to be in agreement, but I was wondering if anyone knew better about either Yamaha's batteries or Ducatis.

If you like harsh beers that let the alcohol be one of the dominant flavors, this might be your guy.

Maybe I'll rephrase: are all valve-regulated lead acid batteries or "non-spillable" batteries AGM? I've seen some sources online that these phrases are equivalent with AGM batteries or gel batteries. Can anybody confirm this? FWIW, this is for battery charger/maintainer purposes.

How was the Shiner Holiday Cheer? I like regular Shiner for an easy-drinker.

Can't we just print off 16 of them and be done with the debt entirely?
