I would try aftermarket bar ends. The Bar Snake is supposed to work, too.

Bicycle helmets have made us weaker as a country. They're an unfortunate step in the pussification of America.

I rode my Gladius (same motor) hard for 15k. Despite my best efforts, I could not get a single valve out of spec.

You want a better model to subsidize healthcare???? Here's one: Eliminate the penny. No one needs it anyway.Round every retail transaction in the US up to the next $.05Use the money to subsidize medical premiums.Don't just give more money to Insurance or Healthcare providers. Scrutinize their financial model and look for waste, make them justify their fees if they want any of this money. The federal government is incompetent when is comes eliminating financial waste, so use a private entity like E&Y instead of IRS douchebags.Put the plan to a popular vote, we don't need anymore mandates from Washington.

^^ There are real cases for malpractice. And doctors should be accountable if a mistake genuinely harms someone. However, the current model just isn't sustainable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tort_reform It's a complex issue. Basically, the burden of proof needs to be raised. Damages need to be limited so people don't look at them like a goddam lottery ticket. There are people that would like nothing more than to retire after winning a large malpractice suit.

The most needed reform that could benefit the US Healthcare system is without a doubt Tort Reform. The volume of medical lawsuits in this country is completely out of control. Physicians have no choice, but to practice 'CYA' medicine. Every unnecessary test you receive is due to a doctor trying to avoid being sued for malpractice. There are now courses in medical school teaching future doctors how to best manage the volume of malpractice lawsuits throughout their career. Every malpractice lawsuit whether successful, unsuccessful, or settled out of court drives up medical costs & insurance premiums. Every unnecessary test/procedure you received drives up medical costs & insurance premiums. The biggest beneficiaries in all of this are the lawyers. Lawyers argue that these lawsuits improve the overall quality of health care...they argue this and they are wrong. But I suppose they need to tell themselves that to sleep at night. Obamacare is an attempt to deal with the symptoms of high medical costs. It doesn't address the root causes of high medical costs & insurance premiums.

That 650 twin is one of the finest motors ever bolted on to 2 wheels.

Motorcycle sales are about half what they were in 2008. I expect more will close.

I rode about 120 miles today. Windy and lots of debris but at least I got out.

I am thinking about buying a winter project. Do you know anyone around Cleveland who can take a mildly damaged fairing and make it look stock?

How is he at pulling weeds? I'll probably ride for an hour or 2 tmrw, it'll just be a crappy local ride though.

No. Perhaps that is your new position after realizing that Obama is not even trying to defend the previous weak position that you were trying to defend. The ACA is flawed, and needs reform. The idea of young healthy people being forced to purchase insurance to prop up the system for the unhealthy is flawed. The idea of affordable (small "a") is just fine, but we are not socialists.

Exactly who/ what are you defending? And who is your argument with? Or is it simply a case of disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing?!?!? Obama himself isn't even trying to claim that people losing their plans is acceptable: "...And I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me. We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and that we're going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this. ... Obviously, we didn't do a good enough job in terms of how we crafted the law. And, you know, that's something that I regret. That's something that we're going to do everything we can to get fixed."

Try one of these. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Nesco-JS-4000TW-American-Harvest-Jet-Stream-Oven/4308279/product.html Wings turn out just like deep fried, without oil or anything.

Never fired that one, but all HKs are pretty much fantastic firearms.

Audrey Hepburn was a cutie

Should I believe him? I mean...he's the president, right?

Magz has a Teflon-like shield of denial. It deflects facts and common sense to the point where they have no bearing on his opinion.

These will inevitably get modded for more HP. What happens when people realize that a 480lb 750 beginner bike is faster than the big twins?

My CBR has combined abs that's basically a brake by wire system. Different than other ABS systems. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/115/2327/Motorcycle-Article/2009-CBR600RR-C-ABS---First-Ride.aspx

I think HD has no choice. The EPA is dragging them kicking and screaming into liquid cooling. Same as with Fuel Injection last decade. The chromosexuals...the ones with 3,000 miles on their 6 year old bike, will complain for awhile, then shut up and buy whatever is in the showroom.

The article shows that it's OK for democrats to admit that the ACA is flawed. It's even OK for Democrats who call themselves Libertarians.

The wheelbase looks loooong.
