  1. I would agree. It looks like an after market part from a vintage street bike. If it was from a vintage racer it wouldn't have a headlight or mirrors.
  2. Wish them the best of luck. Renting bikes always seems like a risky venture.
  3. All the facts are not known yet, but I have not heard of any connection to ISIS. The two shooters that were killed were Muslim though. "The San Bernardino shooters who were killed by police, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, have been identified by law enforcement as a Muslim husband and wife team who began their day by dropping their 6–month–old baby at a family member’s home, saying they were headed out to a doctor’s appointment." http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/dead-shooter-idd-devout-muslim-syed-farook/
  4. The CB1000R is a fine street bike and a good handler. It's overlooked because it's down on power in the class, but it's still plenty fast. Honda also didn't put much of a marketing effort behind it. If you like it, get it. You can find good deals on them. It looks good in red & black
  5. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/03/fashion/the-2016-pirelli-calendar-may-signal-a-cultural-shift.html?_r=0 Yikes. Is that Woody Allen in the middle? I wouldn't want to look at that for a month.
  6. Significantly more annoying. Is that even a real pic of her? It looks like the head was photo chopped.
  7. Agree. The only way I know for someone (other than the person the state has on record) to get a title reissued is a mechanic's lien. Even then there are plenty of hoops to jump through.

    The shooting down of the Russian jet has less to do with 17 seconds or airspace and more to do with this: "Russia is in Syria not to fight ISIS but to save the Assad regime as a permanent Russian ally. Turkey has two goals: It wants to clip the wings of the independence-minded Kurds, but it also wants to see Assad fall. And while Turkey's goals differ from those of its NATO allies -- particularly because Ankara has largely turned a blind eye to ISIS, an enemy of the Kurds -- the NATO bloc mostly agrees on its antipathy towards Assad." http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/24/opinions/ghitis-russia-jet-shot-down/index.html
  9. I defended the Latinos against your smear campaign.
  10. This article exains this chart. The 42% of Latino attacks accounted for 7 deaths. The 6% of Islamist attacks accounted for over 3,000 deaths. So...this chart is misleading, and it would appear intentionally so. Political graffiti by a Latino group was considered as 1 act of terror. 9/11 was also considered 1 act of terror. They don't quite equate, do they? http://www.rawstory.com/2015/01/no-americas-terror-threat-is-not-coming-from-latinos/
  11. Without the supporting data the chart isn't useful.
  12. I see what you did there. The thing about numbers like you are stating is they can be massaged to show many different outcomes. What is considered a terrorist attack? What type of violent crimes are being lumped in as a terrorist attack? Foreign or domestic? Is it for a specific country of region? Many countries are plagued with violent crimes that many would not consider terrorism.

    There are 2 US Air Force bases in Turkey. 1 of them is occupied by US and Turkish forces. There are US/Turkish joint ops occurring in that region.

    They are. "He [Putin] described it as a "stab in the back" committed by "accomplices of terrorists"." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34913173

    This can't be good http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/24/middleeast/warplane-crashes-near-syria-turkey-border/index.html
  16. There are multiple provisions of a liquor license. IIRC there is a specific provision for Sunday sales. I think it's D6.
  17. Maybe giving Jim suspension tips is a bad idea. It'll just make it harder to keep up with him
  18. I like this method because if doesn't affect the suspension travel or any of the suspension ratios.
  19. Agreed. The players may be amateurs but Meyer is a professional coach making over $6 million/year. After that performance he earned some criticism. Not to mentioned when the season started OSU had 3 QBs with impressive college resumes. Now the coaching staff is very timid throwing the ball. That is not an elite coaching effort.
  20. With those play calls, I agree.
  21. You may not like how he went about, but I think Elliot's comments were accurate. OSU's offensive approach was not going to win that game. Meyer is an excellent coach, but that was his worst effort since coming to Columbus. They lost a chance at a national championship without a chance to give their best effort. Of course the players are frustrated.
