  1. I've watched the part 2 DVD a few times. I always seem to find something I need to work on after I watch it
  2. The best balance I have found between grip and mileage is the Mich PR2. You could run different pressure for commuting/twisties.
  3. So who/how many will be there?
  4. Never been there. I'll have to stop in as they're nearby.

    North Korea

    I would have to agree. Normandy was highly classified. Decoy forces were used to draw German attention away from actual location of the D-Day landing. Even if Japan would have known about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, their military was already depleted and could not have done much to prevent it.

    North Korea

    Never happen. But if the threat was believed to be real, a preemptive strike with conventional missiles on their nuclear facilities and military headquarters could indeed happen.

    North Korea

    I agree that you don't tell another country in advance that you are going to attack to give them months to prepare. However, the US DOD has to take this threat seriously..."smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike." It suggests a dirty bomb type terrorist attack. I'm still not 100% clear on why NK has such issue with the US. Any sanctions against NK are voted by the UN not imposed by the US, right?
  9. Are there any other uses for a retard controller?
  10. This is the curse of living in NEO. It's about 70 miles each way of boring highway to get to any roads that are worth riding on a sport bike (read twisty and not a lot of traffic). Once you get to the decent roads you might as well spend a little time having fun. Riding good twisty roads is actually less tiring than droning on the hwy, but you need to work up to the long days. YMMV.
  11. 600 or 700 miles in a day is about my limit.
  12. Yep. I used to live in Cuyahoga, now in Lorain. I went to Medina County to get my original and renewal.
  13. ^^ Liberal biased media doesn't push gun stories that contradict their agenda.
  14. Thats alot for a shot gun with suspect build quality.
  15. Good page for high level 529 pros and cons. http://www.petersons.com/college-search/529-plan-pros-cons.aspx The limited investment choices is the part that will push me towards a normal investment account (in my name). Sure the 529 has tax advantages, but we're talking capital gains tax (15% on earnings) not income tax. I'm pretty certain, with wide open investment choices my earnings will be more than 15% higher than the limited choices in a 529. ex. If the 529 returned 9%, I would just have to earn 10.35% (9 * 1.15=10.35) in a standard investment account to offset the tax advantage of the 529. If I do nothing more than pick mutual funds rated 4 or 5 star by Morningstar, it's easy to find funds that have returned over 20% for the last 3 years. If Obama blows up the capital gains tax that could change. YMMV.
  16. I certainly appreciate the spirit of your post, but also find it a bit concerning. While I agree that protective gear could ultimately increase up time in the kitchen, a trip to the pony would require precious time away from the kitchen. I hope that time is being accounted for. Perhaps some pre-made meals are in order to reduce the impact of any time away.
  17. 9% over the last 3 years market rebound is not very good.
  18. I would suggest something that you can easily add a red dot scope. A .22 pistol with a red dot is a must have I am partial to the S&W 22a. Mine has fired something like 15k-20k rounds. It's silly accurate and will feed just about anything.
  19. For me: Clean = not a salvage & no odometer issues Clear = in hand = no leins

    fearful?

    Your pace should NEVER exceed your confidence. some good reading right here: http://www.sportrider.com/motorcycle_riding/techniques/
  21. Its not hiding. Putting money in another type of account loses some tax advantages which could be offset in other ways.
  22. My accountant tried to steer me away from the 529. All the money is assumed available for college and will probably prevent any chance of getting any financial aid.
