Knowing for sure is the opposite of trusting, right? The saying 'Trust Must Be Earned, is a valid one. I feel it applies perfectly toward strangers. With someones own child I happen to feel differently. Their primary influences are mom and dad until they're are old enough to be influenced by peers. Their behavior reflects on you. With my son, I like the approach that 'trust and respect breeds trust and respect.' I realize that statement may come off as liberal, however, I am not a liberal parent, just ask mom. I was a good kid...church, straight A's, honest as could be, never in trouble, etc. That was until an overly strict step dad came into the picture and decided he was going to lay down the law. I rebelled big time and did a few bad things that I never would done if I had gotten a little credit or respect as a kid. To this day, I have no interest in a relationship with my step dad.

Ape hangers:D

To be honest...This is exactly what I was thinking.

We are. The 1st comment was directed that the post that I quoted. For the 2nd comment, I chose my words carefully. I don't know you personally, so my opinion of you is only based on the handful of your posts that I have read. I say 'In general' (or could have said 'more often than not'). I have not me you, so I did not make a definitve statement. As others have mentioned the camera posts come off as creepy. You not thinking they are creepy, makes them seem a little more creepy. Again, an opinion based on a small number of posts.

slightly edited comment above...

You have this attitude in common with the Department of Corrections. Don't worry though...I'm sure Hallmark will fit that into their next Father's Day card :sarcasm In general, people that are severly non-trusting of other people are that way because, 1) they are severly untrurstworthy themselves and that shapes their view of other people, or 2) they have another underlying psychological issue that needs attention. This is not my opinion...anyone with a Psychology degree will tell you the same thing. btw...this is me being friendly :notsarcasm.

Perhaps.

To OP: Dude??? I could either say something really negative about you. Or say nothing. I'll keep it friendly.

HD makes far more from apparel & licensing then from motorcycle sales. The apparel is 95% produced outside of 'merica .

HD is a tshirt company that also happens to sell motorcycles.

I have yet to see proof that a $500 helmet protects any better than a $200 helmet. Snell or ECE means more than the price tag.

Too bad. If it wasn't for the KTM day I wouldn't have gotten on a track at all = too lazy to prep my own bike(s). What RC8s are for sale? The bikes from the track days? What is the price for these? Not that I should consider such things.

Next month I plan on hunting leprechauns.

Too much maintenance

...and is that rust on the chain? J&J deals with repos, etc. but they usually have really clean bikes. I bought a bike from them once and everything was good. This history on this R1 is suspect.

That looks familiar. FNs are badass. I've recently been looking at FN's tactical shotguns, super cool.

Not quite right. Glock didn't sue over the SW9VE or the SV40VE. Glock sued over the earlier Sigmas that are no longer in production. The 'VEs' came after the lawsuit, and the changes that make them 'VEs' were specifically to make them less similar to a Glock. I have a very early 9VE that I bought right when they were first released. It has been stone reliable and has fired thousands of rounds. The Sigma trigger doesn't behave or feel like the Glock Safe action trigger. The Sigma trigger is designed to feel like that of a DA revolver, and it does. You can definately shoot a DA accurately, but is a different skill than shooting a SA or a striker fired pistol.

I do like the Sigma. I am just as accurate with it as with my G17. The triggers do not feel similar.

Shoot them side by side and they feel very different.

The trigger is designed to feel like a DAO. Some like that, some don't. I like the Sigma trigger.
