    Good News thread:

    That's the whole beauty of the parent business right there.
  2. Verrrry niiice. Will you wave to the metric guys?

    Good News thread:

    Two awesome events in relatively short order: Totally enjoyed the Epic Ride over the weekend - great riding and awesome people! Then today I hear that my daughter landed her first career job. The company initially lowballed her on salary and she was disappointed because she really wanted to work for this company. She hates confrontation but stuck to her guns and asked for more - she thought she was going to puke the whole time. Her prospective manager and director took it up to HR and VP and got it done. Proud pappa here!
  4. Another unOfficial Epic Ride in the books and it was epic fun. Officially. Awesome day and a great ride with good people. Thanks Derek and Wolfman for putting together and Helmutt for leading the medium group and Shadyone for the sweep.
  5. Depends on how far you're traveling.
  6. Correct. Can't legislate patience and common courtesy - both of which are soon to be extinct.
  7. Hilarious. Seems like I've seen this in the media before. Pictures are better this time around - last time, I almost lost my lunch looking at pics of the "performers." Thanks NY Times! Losers all around.
  8. Seriously? I mean, I knew he always hated us, but at least he liked us enough to kill time with us!
  9. Where's Tonik? He bringin' the sannerchvagen?
  10. Truth. Movies on TV. Phones for talking/texting. Computers for watching smartphone benchmark tampon derbies on a motorcycle forum.
  11. Have also read, Bloomberg or Reuters - I forget which, that there are lasting brain effects for youth. (Defined as U25) Permanent memory loss and depression.
  12. OP - You're not a nice person.
  13. Good thing it was a bug and not a rock.

    Get some penicillin fer the yips and go ridin' son!
  15. Now I gotta figure out if the iP6 considerably better than the new (released 9/4) MotoX? Or even last year's MotoX. (Wierd that Motorola evidently didn't distinguish the two by model name.) Not tied to any particular ecosystem - yet.
  16. Really sad to see. RIP riders. Hate riding the slab.
  17. tparrott, I'm in Hilliard-land as well. PM me when ya get a chance.
  18. ORDN strikes again. From retail sales economics to motoporn in 3 posts.
  19. Rep for the post above. However, I do feel the need to point out that the comment below is somewhat inaccurate. The wealthy actually benefit less than the average taxpayer re: infrastructure. More so with regard to transfer payments. The more wealthy you are, the less likely you are to use public facilities such as airports, etc. They travel by private jet, have private security, pay to register multiple cars but only drive one at a time, travel only rarely via the interstate, and so forth. But again, your comment above is well taken. We need more than two political party but our current federal elections "infrastructure" and media culture won't allow it. Best example is Gary Johnson - he might have filleted Obama and Romney in the debates, or not, but never got the chance. Probably never will.
  20. These are global companies. Why would they pick a spot on the globe to legally domicile themselves where taxes are higher? Capital is like water - seeking the low spots. Trying to prevent that is the source of the frustration.
  21. Hard to find return in this market for a lump sum that gets dropped on you suddenly. Probably in a short duration bond fund and some high dividend stocks with trailing stops.
  22. I vote we make it a "not-for-profit", name Nivin the CEO and pay him a $863,000 salary. Oh, wait, I'm mixing threads again. I'm such a senile bastard. Carry on.
