  1. I'm in Parma, just south of Cleveland.
  2. I had this out for a ride last week. Still for sale.
  3. I had a chance to fire a 375 H&H Magnum once. It took a nice chunk out of a 45lb plate at 50 yds.
  4. A .38 slug is not .38 inches. It's almost identical to a .357, which is .357 inches.
  5. During the race, they mentioned something about how Gordon took Bayne 'under his wing' this week. And taught him about the track. Apparently, Bayne was paying close attention.
  6. It was definitely cool to see Bayne win. At that level, this kind of story just doesn't happen anymore.
  7. After 3 generations of ZTL, stopping power is on par with the best dual disc binders that have been in developement for 25+ years. Plus ZTL gives lots of feel. The advantage of the ZTL was never stopping power, it's weight. It's sheds something like 4 pounds of unsprung weight and most of that is in the front wheel. The only other way to shed that much unsprung weight is carbon fiber wheels and you can't do that at a price point that will actually sell.
  8. It's a cool bike. The used Buell market is in flux, so it's hard to say what's a good price.
  9. A real American Superbike.
  10. I'd venture a guess that the 'Seconday Muffler' is there for EPA reasons. I suspect it can be removed in about 60 seconds.
  11. That's the 1190RS teaser photo. No word yet on whether they'll be ready or allowed to race it this season.
  12. Vance's has it for $349. But, do a search or check the S&W forums. S&W doesn't seem to have all the bugs worked out of these quite yet. Too, bad because it's a cool design.
  13. Agreed. Every half-a-fag and wanna-be-front-runner can be a Yankees fan or a Cowboys fan (looking right at you LeBron). Steelers are the most stable organization in professionsal sports. They grow talent from within. They don't try to buy titles. They win with defense. They've only had 3 head coaches since 1969. Every sports fan should be able to appreciate that. Plus, the rapes were only alleged
  14. If I was a Browns fan I would hate the Ravens WAY more then the Steelers. In all honesty, Browns/Steelers hasn't been much of a rivalry in a very long time.
  15. Not sure if it's still there, but there used to be a gun range in Sharon, PA that had submachine guns for rent. They had MP5s, UZIs, and a few others. Expensive? Of course, but worth doing once.
  16. I just got a smoking deal on an XD40. I wasn't really looking for a .40 or an XD, but it was too good to pass up.

    Glock 27 is a nice piece, but I am specifically interested in 9mm.

    Whatcha got? No Hi Points and I don't care for Beretta. I like Sigmas despite all the whining about the hard trigger pull. Glocks, XDs, M&Ps are always good...some Rugers, etc, etc. Cash either way to even the value on a trade.
  19. I've considered this for a few years. If I do a track day... Next, I'll go out and buy a race bike, leathers, dozens of sets of tires. I know it would be a blast, but I just don't anbother expensive hobby.
  20. 21? remind me to buy you a beer.
  21. I'm designing a motor that runs on Taco Bell meat.
  22. If you like HDs, what's not to like. It looks just like the others
  23. Well, nearly every gun manufacturer now makes a pistol with a polymer frame. I'm not a big Glock fan. I owned a G22. It shot great, but didn't feel right in my hand. I may try a Gen 4 though. Like 'em or hate 'em, Glock has advanced handgun tech more than anyone else in the last 20 years.
