Unfortunate. I didn't buy a ticket with any plans to win the bike. I put a few $$ toward a good cause, and to support this generous act of support for your brother.

Yes. Here is an excellent reference for WV roads (OH is also on this site) http://www.motoroads.net/wv/wv.htm The guy who maintains this site has ridden more backroads than anyone. He has helped me with a few routes before. I have ridden most, if not all the WV roads he has listed...

300 is replacing the 250. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/kawasaki/2013-kawasaki-ninja-300-review-91429.html

http://blog.motorists.org/where-does-the-money-from-a-speeding-ticket-go/ example from Indiana: In this land where reality and fiction are indistinguishable there is a dead legal principle that says judges and courts should not personally benefit from the results of their rulings. Obviously, there is a conflict of interest anytime a judge’s well being would be affected by his or her decision. On occasion, a judge is found guilty of taking bribes for deciding in favor of his benefactors. But, when the conflict of interest is systemic, universal, and worth billions of dollars it is also invisible! I’m talking about the adjudication of traffic tickets. Traffic tickets are the mother’s milk of the court system. Thousands of judges rule on traffic cases knowing full well that guilty verdicts pay their salary, fund their retirement systems, and build their courthouses. But nobody seems to see a conflict of interest in this system? The noble judges are apparently above the temptations the rest of humanity experiences? Here’s how a typical speeding ticket (in this case a ticket from Indiana that we paid though our Traffic Justice Program) is divvied up: State Courts: $49.00 County Courts: $18.90 City Courts: $2.10 Law Enforcement Fee: $4.00 Jury Fee: $2.00 Highway Work Zone: $0.50 (??) Auto Record Keeping Fee: $7.00 Document Storage Fee: $2.00 Infractional Judgments: $99.50 The fine! Public Defense Administration Fee: $3.00 Judicial Insurance Adjustment: $1.00 Judicial Salaries Fee: $18.00: Do you think murderers and rapists pay this fee too? DNA Sample Processing Fee: $2.00 Very common service for traffic tickets. Court Administration Fee: $5.00 Total Cost Of Ticket: $214.00 This should help explain why average traffic ticket recipients start out with two strikes against them when they enter traffic court. The court system just can’t afford to offer real justice. If it did it would drown in its own workload and go broke in the process.

Eslick and Young passed each other a bunch of times. The move that Eslick puts on Young at 8:45 is just insane.

Monday morning bump.

The battle for second was pretty intense http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qetWxMAHVqU

When other revenues go down, ticket revenue goes up. I'm not saying this is across the board for every LEO or even every dept. But it's a pretty obvious trend. It was acknowledged by the Michigan police cheif in the article I posted, probably to the dismay of lots of other departments. There lots of articles on this subject http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-03-30-speeding-cushion_N.htm Of course all the ticket revenue doesn't go directly to the police dept. But police budgets are tied to local and/or state governments who do get a large chunk of that revenue. And local/state politicians have influence over law enforcement top brass. I can appreciate pressure to fill budget gaps. That's an issue faced by lots of organizations these days. I do however, have an issue with changing the ways certian laws are enforced specifically to increase municipal revenue. Especially when you consider that the citizens 'contributing' that increased revenue are facing the same economic pressure.

I put 15K+ miles on my 2009 1125R before I sold it. It's a great mix of sport capability and comfortable ergos.

http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/25/2599.asp Increased revenue under the guise of safety.

Depts are increasing revenue while sidestepping those pesky voters that are supposed to approve such increases. you know, public servants are supposed to serve the public and all that stuff

PM sent. I'll buy one. Good Karma coming your way. If for some some reason you don't sell all 200 tickets, I do not accept refunds

I have a big effing Bosch tankless water heater at my carwash. I think they are fine for commercial applications or vacation homes that aren't always occupied. Personally I wouldn't want one in my home. The water temp is related to how fast the water is flowing. If you set it to be hot when 2 showers are running it will be crazy hot for low flow needs like a sink faucet.

Multi-tractor?

That R1 is one of the better looking bikes I've ridden with

Was the guy being a dick and trying to block you?

Bring a gas can

That's kinda funny because I have been seriously considering another I4. I can't seem to make myself keep them in the right rev range. When my house sells there's a really good chance I'll be picking up an 07 or 08 CBR600RR (really like the ergos). I'll most liley keep the Gladius, because seriously who's trying to buy a used Gladius

UP on a Multi? I thought you were morally opposed to twins?

What is the condition of 555? We rode WV250 on Sat. It's usually one of my favs but the current condition is pretty terrible

Did the pace really stay slow?

I thought the new R1 forks were like what IP described for the 749 dark. Could be wrong tho.
