If I were to buy I tablet I would give Win 8 a try.

I fucking love pancakes.

Depends how long and how steep the grade. On a ride earlier this year, UP and I got detoured onto a shitty gravel (larger stones) road with steep incline and an even steeper decline. It was pretty hectic. Street tires are not meant for those conditions. We did the decline under 5mph, with little to no traction. At one point, I had both brakes locked and was still sliding down the hill out of control. My bike easily could of wound up on it's side. I've ridden dirt bikes in much worse conditions than that without issue, but I wouldn't do it again on street tires.

My current CORE pace is 'wringing the neck' of a Suzuki Gladius. A nice sport pace but not crazy fast.

We could talk about CORE and how it's group dynamics evolved, but it would only be interesting to a handful of people on here. The rides are mostly northerners that want to ride a full day (400-500 miles, occasionally more) of good twisty roads. Early starts and not much downtime...stopping for meals is usually not in the program. I think that kind of riding is great fun, but I can see why others would not. I've been on OR rides that felt like CORE rides. CORE pace is kind of an urban legend. Riding within limits is always more important than being fast...but some of the rides have been pretty darn quick

I still think my GS2 4G is badass.

Obama - Obamacare penalty is not a tax. Supreme Court - the only reason Obamacare can impose a penalty is because it's a tax.

That's great

Charge .25/mile and provide a waiver form. It's a tax write off:)

So...in summary...welcome to OR.

I totally blame obama, atheists, and guns.

This. For AMA, I wonder how much of their $$ comes from TV? Probably not too much as the tv ratings aren't great.

Jenna meet...

Did you read the whole article, or just highlight the parts you agreed with? Also, pay attention to the part where is says trail braking contradicts other more accepted street riding techniques (MSF, Code, etc.) Weighting the front end doesn't mean, smooth uneventful cornering.

Out of curiosity, what are you basing this on? Did you reason this yourself, or have you gotten it from another source? What you are suggesting is contradictory to what most will teach, including Keith Code. Not to sound like a dick, but what you're explaining kinda sounds like mistakes made by inexperienced riders.

Trail braking isn't really a 'good habit.' You're better off staying off the brakes and leaning further with a slight throttle input as IP mentioned above...see Keith Code Bike Cornering Bible.

^^^ Tires have a fixed amout of grip. You can use that grip for cornering or braking (or acceleration). When you divide that grip between cornering and braking, bad things can happen. Trail braking has a place, but it's an advanced technique with certain risks. I wouldn't suggest that for a newer rider.

I agree that there will be some type of out of court civil settlement. The reason I bring up airplanes, is that TSA regs and associated laws aren't airplane specific. Their broader scope public safety related to public transportation. If deemed that any of those laws are applicable, she may be dealing with a lot more that an assault charge.

double post

She spit on, choked, & hit the driver of a moving public transportation vehicle. She assaulted the the driver and put herself at risk along with other passengers and anyone who happend to be on the street nearby. Even though she backed up after assaulting him, he still has the right to defend himself. I would really like to see how RTA regulations suggest he should have neutralized the threat on a moving vehicle. Unless they issue pepper spray or a stun gun to drivers, what was he supposed to do? What if this ocurred on a plane? Would the same laws apply?

Where did this happen?
