  1. There is something to be said for riding a 650 to the absolute limit
  2. ^^ Yep, Dave can hang with the fast guys just fine.
  3. I have a similar degree and have been a PM for about 15 years. The kind of projects I lead are software implementations for companies in the 5-20k employee range. We implement HR and Payroll software. What payroll package do you use, and who is your healthcare provider? Those companies use PMs to implement their software when a new business signs on as a client. They like people who already have hands on experience with their products. A PMP is a plus when trying to land those kind of gigs.
  4. My group tends to ride fast, but only in corners. We typically don't give a shit about going fast in a straight line. I can't say that I've never broken 100mph on the street, but it's not part of the normal pace.
  5. If you drive that much, leasing would only make sense if you are certain you would buy it after the lease is up.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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/
  9. My comment really had very little to do with agreeing with my particular choice of words. It was more of a general observation.
  10. Maintenance on these is simple DIY.
  11. It's difficult for you to agree with people. Amiright?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I got out for a short ride today for the first time in months. Man I miss riding weather.
  15. Yup. It's been a long winter.
  16. After 14 seasons, I think I'm retired.
  17. Nice. Not all womenz can handle 2.
  18. Seems like a mechanical failure except for the part about the stolen passports.
  19. Id get the Nokia 1020 Windows phone if I was getting a new phone today.
  20. I will be out and backing a few times this season.
