Dave (CORE) and I covered somewhere around 350-400 miles today. Roads were in better than expected condition and it was unseasonably awesome weather :hellyeah

A good friend of mine does some serious backpacking trips in WV. something like a 25 mile loop over 3 days. I have been seriously considering doing one of these trips.

I'll probably be riding on Sunday not sure exactly where yet. I agree, early spring conditions call for the pace to be dialed down a notch or 2.

Selling Buells at HD dealerships was a great idea they go together like orange juice and toothpaste. HDs plan was that sportbikes are beginner bikes and Buell owners would eventually move up to a big twin HD. That didn't really happen. TOward the end the Buell Ulysses was actually thought to be pulling sales away from HD baggers. Just one of many reasons HD pulled the plug. For Erik Buell Racing to be sucessful, they need to sell EBR bikes alongside, Ducati, Triumph, BMW, Aprilia, etc.

PR2s are the best STREET tires I have used to date. Never ridden on Contimotions, but I did go through 2 or 3 sets of Conti Road Attacks which I liked a lot. The grip was about the same between the PR2 and CRA, maybe a slight edge to the PR2. PR2 lasted longer due to the dual compound.

Hmmm, if anything I'll class it up a bit...I've been to Fuzzy's. Hoping for rock bottom before I buy.

Still looking...90% sure I'll land in N.R. in the next 6 months.

Pretty sure I was looking at houses in that neighborhood.

Practice...We talkin' bout practice?

Arrow!

Not a fan of Dunlops period. PR2 has plenty of grip to drag toes and knees and lasts longer than the Conti road attack which is also a good choice.

Cool. Who is the new sponsor? I really want to se a twin on the podium this year.

So...Fillmore is on the entry list for Daytona, riding for KTM/HMC Racing. Did something change with KTM or is this the only race of the year? Also, 3 EBR 1190RS are in the field, 2 of those have sponsorship from EBR's new business partner, Hero. Still no 1199s on the entry list http://www.amaproracing.com/rr/events/entrylist.cfm?year=2012&eid=2012011205

This isn't a school problem, or a teacher problem. This was a premeditated shooting by a kid with a screw loose. You could post SWAT teams in every classroom and it wouldn't make any difference. If this kid wanted to shoot those spcific victims badly enough he could have done it in the parking lot before school, or any number of places. Suggesting weapons training for teachers is missing the point. If you want teachers to take training how about recognizing and dealing with troubled kids.

Teachers with guns is a terrible idea. Even if you sprinkle in some training.

This is a rare, terrible occurrence. I don't think that arming teachers is an anyway a good idea. A nervous teacher aiming at a target within a group of kids is going to end badly. An armed gaurd or LTL measures are far more likely, even though still not a great idea.

I think an armed guard would be FAR, FAR more likely than any school ever authorizing a teacher to carry a gun.

I have a feeling that being bullied in prison is going to be much worse that being bullied in high school.

Did the gun belong to his parents' or did it come from somewhere else?

Cool...and hoping for an early start to the SEO riding season.

Is Duc going to race the Panigale in WSBK?

Put some alcohol on it and try again.
