  1. I think the Obama administration's opposition was just to naturally disagree with whatever the NRA suggested without really considering the suggestion based on it's own merit. It's called Politics...unfortunately, it's been perfected by self-serving-douchebags.
  2. My $.02 I think you can learn more on a slow bike that handles well. Power can make anything faster, but it covers up what could be missing in technique, skill, etc. I've had lots of bikes The ones that I learned the most on were a Bandit 400 (45hp), Buell XB9S (75 Hp), and my just sold Gladius 650 (70 hp). While riding with the 'fast guys'...I learned to be smoother & carry more corner entry speed...I certainly wasn't going to catch anyone on the throttle I just sold the Gladius because I was riding it at the limits of the motor and the (heavily modded) suspension. Learn to ride the wheels off the Hawk and you will be a better rider when you upgrade. Oh...and when you ride with 'fast guys' be sure to pick their brain at gas stops.
  3. Sold to a new rider who really likes it. It may be awhile before he can appreciate all the improvements I made.
  4. Sold. I'm sure it'll get replaced quickly once my motorcycle ADD kicks in.
  5. I made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
  6. I think [insert local broadcaster] is the best. No one calls a game better than [insert local broadcaster].
  7. I have been playing with a McDermott lately. I am either getting an OB shaft for it, or possibly just buy a new OB cue.
  8. Chris Perez = The new Senor Smoke???
  9. Let me know if you're planning an extended WV route. I might know a good road or 2
  10. We used to shoot each other with bb guns an no one bitched about It. In a few more years we'll pretty much be France
  11. Zero Tolerance = Incompetent Administration Zero Tolerance is a blanket type policy used to hand down generic rulings when an administration lacks the judgment to evaluate the context of each situation.
  12. http://www.policymic.com/articles/64665/what-is-the-most-screwed-up-thing-about-your-state-check-this-chart
  13. Interesting question. I doubt it serves any purpose, but my bikes are beakless so I don't know for sure.
  14. ^^^ Ugly and do-it-all are not mutually exclusive.
  15. Since the FZ-09 is going to be compared against the Street Triple by every motorcycle mag...hopefully, Yamaha releases a FZ-09R next year with better brakes and suspension for $8999. Last I heard. the Street Triple R outsells the standard Street Triple.
  16. WV has some awesome sport bike roads. The roads tend to be built around the hills rather than go right over the hills like in SEO. So, WV has less blind hills and more high speed sweepers. I love riding in WV, but it seems to happen less often these days.
  17. Scorpion makes great helmets for the money. EXO 500 gets very good reviews.
  18. Since the cost of .22s is putting a damper on other activities, pool is my new cold weather past time...again.
  19. I started looking to buy another stick or 2. There are a lot more options than when I used to play. Seem like shaft technology has advanced quite a bit too.
  20. I used to play a lot, but that was a long time ago. I am just getting back into it. I joined an APA league to try to find my stroke again.
  21. It looks better than the old one, but that still isn't raising the bar very high
  22. I just ordered a set to replace the crappy OEM Qualifiers that came on the CBR. I've burned through 4 or 5 PR2 rears on various bikes, and been happy with them. From the reviews it sounds like the GTs are even better.
