  1. I did static line at a place in Grove City, PA. The poeple that ran it were super cool. They had normal 9-5 jobs...on the weekends they jumped out of planes and then partied at a little campsite next to the hanger. Good times.
  2. I did it once. It was awesome.
  3. 2 Podiums for EBR and they were running laptimes close to the leaders (well except Hayes). Filmore was also looking good on the KTM. A little more development and who knows...
  4. Spoiler..... EBR got a podium in race 1. That is fantastic for a company with only 20 employees total.
  5. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. In 10-12 years of riding backroads there have been 3-4 incidents that were bad and could have been really ugly. I think about it as a possibility when I pass. As.mentioned above CCW can give piece of mind for those rare assholes...
  6. Pretty impressive for a tiny American company competing against the super powers! http://amaproracing.com/rr/events/results.cfm?year=2012&eid=2012011215&discipline=RR&class=SB&type=Q&rnum=1&class_sort=all

    M.C.A. R.i.p...

    I may have to rock my Licensed to Ill cassette. Where the hell can I find a tape deck?
  8. Nope, not a challenge. I haven't played serious pool in 10 years. But, I am getting a table at the new house...
  9. I have an early Cuetec that I bought about 20 years ago. Plays great. Although, I find it fun to play someone with a fancy Meucci or whatever and smoke them with a crooked house cue
  10. It's the indian not the arrow I used to play in competitve pool tournements as a younger person. Now I am old & rusty.
  11. Panther is made by Valley/Dynamo. Pretty much all the Valley tables are nice. There are some older coin tables that are just called Dynamo that are also really nice. You can find these used around $4-500. Even if the felt is trashed it's pretty inexpensive to refelt. When it's time, I plan to pay a pro to move/setup the table, while they are there, might as well refelt it.
  12. Funny. I am tyring to close on a house now...when my current house sells I'll be buying a Valley coin op pool table. Check craigslist. Those tables are built to handle the abuse of being in a bar...they last forever.
  13. Body position & counter steering. Because the throttle is on the right side you are probably applying some pressure and counter steering when you turn right. You are probably not applying the same pressure to the left grip when you turn left.
  14. Competitive as in everyone knows how to play? or as in steriods and arguing calls? I've seen both.
  15. That guy should hang out with my ex wife. Man, could she kill a boner.

  17. I sold my fast bike. This year will be a 650 pace.
  18. I got a fair price for it . It sold in a week, I probably could have held out for a few more pennies. I have still have a few 1125 items including a Corbin seat that I just put on eBay.
  19. Well, I owned Buells for the last 10 years, but just sold my 1125R a few weeks ago. So, I guess I am a Suzuki rider...at least for now.
  20. Ricor Intiminators are another option. Install is similar to the emulators, but without the drilling. I just installed a set on my SFV650. I am still worlking through suspension setup/tuning, so I haven't quite made up my mind on them yet.
  21. You guys are all really cool (my first and last post in this thread)
