If you drive that much, leasing would only make sense if you are certain you would buy it after the lease is up.

Do you work with any actual men?

If your income is on the verge of becoming higher. You could find nice relatively inexpensive 2 year lease, then upgrade to something you really want next.

I sealed the shit out of mine and still had mold/mildew. The upkeep on a stall with smooth walls is soooo much easier than tile with hundreds of corners, edges, and grout lines. Maybe you can order a stall with a custom drain location?? To move a drain you need to cut a channel with saw with a concrete blade, the chip it out with a hammer & chisel. Refill with concrete when you're done.

I tiled my basement shower in my old house. My advice is don't do it. It looked great, but it was a maintenance nightmare. You can use the best grout, seal it over and over, and you're still going to get some mold/mildew in the grout lines. I used some fancy swimming pool grout, meant for tile under/above the water line and still had problems. I stopped uising that shower because I was sick of cleaning grout. If the drain location is the problem, move it. It's not that difficult. Drop in an nice 48" shower stall and be done with it Edit: http://www.johnbridge.com/articles/showers/tile-showers/

My comment really had very little to do with agreeing with my particular choice of words. It was more of a general observation.

So you disagree

Maintenance on these is simple DIY.

It's difficult for you to agree with people. Amiright?

The stock suspension is indeed a compromise http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/features/2014_yamaha_fz_09_doin_time/ But even with crappy stock suspenders, it's probably the best bang for the buck you can get right now. In the next couple months there will probably be a bunch of build threads where people add R6 forks and find a takeoff shock that fits. If Yamaha comes out with a version with better suspension to compete with the Street Triple R for around 9K, I would probably buy one...or the FJ09.

Real life, I invested in FBIOX (biotechnology mutual fund) December 2012 around $100/share. Now it's around $220 and seems to still be climbing. I don't invest in any stock directly, just through mutual funds.

I got out for a short ride today for the first time in months. Man I miss riding weather.

Yup. It's been a long winter.

After 14 seasons, I think I'm retired.

^^ Is she a vending machine?

Nice. Not all womenz can handle 2.

Seems like a mechanical failure except for the part about the stolen passports.

Id get the Nokia 1020 Windows phone if I was getting a new phone today.

I will be out and backing a few times this season.

I used to have a Honda Pacific Coast. Six bags of groceries would fit in the trunk. I took it on a CORE ride once, it actually did OK

Beirut?

Agree. Lots of really good riding around Seneca Rocks. From Cleveland you can make it to Harrisonburg, VA in one day via some really good roads, including Seneca Rocks & the RT33 mountain pass which is pretty incredible. Harrisonburg is a college town with a bunch of good bars and restaurants. Lots of good roads to choose from: http://www.motoroads.net/wv/wv.htm

I can give you some really good WV routes that lean toward the super twisty. Can't help you with the touristy stuff though. I do most my sight seeing approaching triple digits
