So, the cameras are bad because they outsourced their operation?

Agree with all stated here except the "ability to abuse." Only question is: What kind of abuse do you expect? This is open-air, visually observable, public data. As always, there should be due process and the ability to appeal but stuff out in the open is, well, out in the open. Everyone on the planet now has a smartphone with a video camera and soon there'll be openly available apps that can calculate speed and distance (probably already is.) There are security cameras everywhere that can be subpoenaed by the government. That's how they caught the Boston Marathon bombers. I now see at least one red light run every day. Not "burnt orange." Flat out red. Yesterday I saw a guy on a bicycle almost get tomato-sauced in a crosswalk. The problem isn't the government - it's us. Our laws are, generally speaking, designed around voluntary compliance. Otherwise, there would be a cop at every intersection and everyone would get audited by the IRS every year. Now though, there is a general mind set that the laws apply to everyone else. Not me. I'm in a hurry! Busy, busy, busy!

I'm most likely there. Gonna try to get some riding in too so I might do an early morning quick HH run then check in there.

Yep. That and a ECU reflash and I think ya got a killer naked for under $10k.

Good on ya, Jack. Saw on the other thread you were draggin' peg too. Great weekend of riding.

Damn is right. Hate to see this.

Probably out for tomorrow. Family stuff. Nothing catastrophic but I'm a little mentally fried. Y'all show them roads who's boss. (In a responsible way, of course.)

Too many miles on the FZ6.

Was wanting a ride this Sunday. Might join the fun at McConnelsville then peel off at Woodsfield. If I do, I would be the "automatic sweep".

Available for a 2014 CB1100 DLX?

6/14 is wife's birthday. I don't want to be a bachelor.

Awesome bike, very versatile. Good torque from very low revs and very smooth. Ergos that fit me perfectly and allow longer rides more comfortably. Easy to work on. But I sort of knew all that going in. Love the UJM look too. The surprise is how competent it is from a handling standpoint. I put myself in the slow group on the epic ride since the CB was so new to me. Before the middle of the ride I was comfy. I'm no knee dragger, but it felt really good. That torque helped - in the twisties, you can almost put it in 3rd and forget it. Also, I forgot the odd "low bike awareness" that naked bikes give. Find myself almost forgetting it's there on the road sometimes - like flying through space. On the VFR, I was down in the machine more and always seemed to feel its presence - not a bad thing at all on that one. I want to put more miles on it but I've managed 1,000 so far.

Space and time. Two of the usual constraints with human activities. The third being money, which wasn't the problem here. Garage was full, I wasn't going to put the miles on the viffer it deserved. When I thought about it, I didn't expect frequent enough "guests" to justify keeping it. Fizzer seemed really happy to have the bike and will pile the miles on it - a very good thing.

Wow. An '07 FZ6 with 240 miles? That's it, Jack. As for the VFR if the previous generation had you leaned over too far, then the new one will too. Also, go to cycle-ergo.com if you want to check out the riding position of the bikes and compare. Great site and I think someone may have mentioned it earlier.

Quite possibly true. Now I feel kinda bad about my earlier smart assed comment. Kinda.. Still have a hard time feeling sympathy with people who engage in group hate - like against anyone who has a penis, for example.

Or maybe they're members of the My-Ass-Is-An-Axe-Handle-Wide Society.

Welcome!

Touché.

Couldn't be any worse than the DN-01.

I think you can rip on a company AND make money under the guise of satire or parody.

I think of my grandfather when this credit stuff comes up. He paid cash for the farm he worked his whole life, never had a car loan and would have no idea what to do with a credit card. In 1999, his insurance company started using credit scores as a rating criteria -- his rates doubled. Evidently, his credit rating was terrible, I suppose because he had never USED credit. (Though I had heard he had to pay on time for the medical bills when my uncle was born - in 1935.) Kinda ironic, huh?

^^ A familiar sight ^^ Time to change the avatar. BTW - I may have forgotten to mention - that oil (Rotella T6) and filter had about 200 miles on it. But I would have done the same thing.

Now says injuries are "incapacitating". Doesn't sound good but hoping for the best.

Hmm. Rode by yesterday and it seemed like they had improved the outside. Been a while since I've been in there though. The timing usually isn't right when I go by - too early or too late. If business tanks, they'll make adjustments. Maybe they're thinking about "broadening the appeal" and keeping it open year 'round for the locals.

Wut? Re-sprocket that chain, boy. Get yer sunglasses, wife beater, cargo shorts and sandals on and ride that thang!
