Interesting. I thought tuning by oil level was mostly and old school way to adjust compression and rebound before the days of fancy schmancy adjustable suspenders. Does changing fork oil level feel different than adjusting rebound/compression?

I agree. However I have this uneasy feeling that between the FBI, CIA, NSA, and the myriad of others that were not supposed to know about, they probably have a file on most of us. And I suspect it makes up a significant amout of the Nat'l budget.

Crikey! I didn't know they got that expensive.

I often wonder how much $$ the US gov't spends tracking it's own citizens.

The one I shot was a Horton. It was a pretty good one from what I was told. I'd be looking to spend under $200. Under $100 would be even better

I been around firearms for a long time, but never fired a crossbow until recently. It was pretty cool and more accurate than I expected. What is a decent, not to expensive crossbow? I am not opposed to a used one, but not sure what to look for to be sure it's in good working condition. I am not planning on hunting with it. I would use it for targets and to teach a 12 year old basic marksmanship skills.

Everyone one I know with a 1st gen MTS loves it. And by everyone, I mean Pauly. Good that you'rekeeping the 900SS. Two bikes makes for a happy garage. That reminds me, I need another one

Slayer kicks ass...church, not so much.

I could ride it as long as there's no stopping involved. What do you mean? http://www.gladiuscup.it/ Badass Gladii racing

Is that like a 50 inch seat height? btw Gladius>SV650

This is a good weekend for riding at a more relaxed pace...maybe a 'learning' ride to tweak your cornering technique or try to improve your line :dunno

I doubt that higher output lights have any real safety benefits, unless you mean more visibility for yourself while riding in dark conditions. If you wanted to be a 'dick' you could get a headlight modulator. I don't think that those do anything other than annoy other motorists.

...and without democratic support of the UAW, the american auto industry probably wouldn't have been in that position in the first place :stirthepot

Watch out for cops this weekend. They love getting holiday pay.

You must mean weight

If your not looking for hard bags, I would look at some sport nakeds: Speed/Street Triple FZ1 Z1000 even a SV650 w/suspension mods makes a capable corner carver.

Kathy, Are you more into the sport or the touring? I like the Ninja 1000 or a Triumph Sprint. edit: saw this one a few days ago http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php/topic,73680.0.html

IMO, people that don't believe in evolution have a vested interest not to believe it. To say it another way, if you 'objectively' look at the concepts and overwhelming evidence behind evolution, it's very difficult not to believe.

Does air guitar count?

I've seen people talking on a cell phone will riding.

I have a M&P 9 compact. Smaller than the G19, and is stupid accurate for the size. ...oh and that FN is a damn fine combat 9mm.

+1 An EBR spec series is an intersting idea. The rumor (actually it's probably as much fact as rumor), is that EBR has already built and assembled a production run of mass market priced 1190 motorcycles (delete carbon fiber, magnesium wheels, etc from the 1190RS). Supposedly, the announcemnt will come when the dealer network is revealed. I doubt that EBR has the $$, support, or enough pull with the AMA to get it's own spec series. It's an interesting idea though. I would love to see lap times of a race prepped SV650 compared to those XR1200s. I suspect an SV would destroy the XR field.

I am sure HD pushed for this to get their logo in front of a larger race crowd. The race itself was a disaster. It was like a Katana rally in Coshocton. I doubt this was the type of exposure that HD wanted. This is the first XR1200 race I've seen. Maybe the others have been better.

So Pauly prefers to be little spoon?
