I think people's choice of religion is far too arbitrary for there to be a Supreme Being with some master plan. This is what I mean: --If you were born in the US and your parents are Christian you are FAR more likely to be a Christian than any other religion. --If you were born in India and your parents are Hindu you are FAR more likely to be a Hindu than any other religion. --If you were born in China and your parents are Buddhist you are FAR more likely to be a Buddhist than any other religion. --Etc. --Etc. If a Supreme Being was involved, wouldn't it's ability to reveal the 'truth' be able to overcome something as arbitrary as geography???

All you non-Mormans don't have a clue http://mcooki.es/59507 oh...and South Park kicks ass.

My faith is strong...in erosion.

What's this end of season BS? it's still September. I have a softball tournement on Sat, anyone riding Sun?

jbot, if you buy the rear, pick up the front for me. You can even drop it off while you're in Parma

I'd be interested except for the automatic, dual clutch, tranny. Maybe they'll offer a version with a normal 6 speed.

Bump. If there weren't 3 bikes in the garage I might pick this up.

Pretty good deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-HONDA-VFR800-25TH-ANNIVERSARY-NON-ABS-UM60534-C-S_W0QQitemZ200383207814QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_motorcycles?hash=item2ea7c51986&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

I've had lots of bikes (20 or so). I will say the 919 has the finest STREET motor of any of them. Very linear power delivery, plenty of torque, not much shifting required. But as good as the motor is, the suspension is equally bad. The front is too soft, the rear is too stiff with too little damping (can you say pogo stick). Cornering at anything over 7/10th pace gets sketchy. Compared to my Buell...I was significantly slower on the 919, and was working harder to get the 919 through corners. Depending on your riding style, the 919 may be a good choice. It's a top notch commuter, a good sport tourer, & quick in a straight line. But if you enjoy leaning to the edge of your tires I would say look elsewhere.

The HS is a fine target pistol.

Just before I enter a tight corner, I like to lightly touch the front brake. Not to reduce corner entry speed, but to put more wieght on the front tire.

Yep, that is why I'm condering it. Buell resale value is relatively low, and V-Twin sporty bikes seem to be more 'niche' bikes.

Buell is defintely a sportbike, there are people that can ride them faster than me (come on a CORE ride). I've put almost 40k miles on Buells & I'll prolly get another one of these days. For now I'm trying to I'm just looking to ride something different & I'm finally starting to feel confident on the F4i that I picked up this spring. UP, you wouldn't happen to know someone who needs a ZX6r would you...

I'll wait a week or 2 and if the Buell doesn't sell, I'll prolly do this trade. I'm guessing a 636 with a warranty will sell easier than the Buell. Plus, I could return the 636 to stock and sell the aftermarket stuff on ebay.

Boss Hogg and Roscoe would be proud. This is an extreme exemple of Police corruption. Less extreme examples of Police corruption are more common than anyone wants to admit. This will make me sound like a grouchy fuck, and maybe I am, but...enforcement of laws in the USA is starting to resemble what the Founding Fathers found intoleralbe about England.

My Buell is an 05, with 8,400 miles. Why is 06 a good year for the ZX6? Is the valve check due at 12k on Kawis?

This guy wants to trade for my Buell. I am not a Kawi guy and don't know what it's worth. If I did trade, I would just turn around and sell since I'm trying to get down to just 1 bike. http://roanoke.craigslist.org/mcy/1368629898.html $5,800 seems high, what would you offer for it?

I did a quick solo ride through Holmes county on Sunday. As I was passing a truck on 83N (around 1:30p) he swerved left of center to either hit me or block me. I got next to him and flipped hm off and threatened to beat his ass on the side of the road. He said something but I couldn't hear with my helmet on. It was some grouchy old fuck in a white pickup (Toyota?) with a cap...wonder if it was the same guy.

Watched 5 minutes, that was enough. The Obama 'interview' was a total Colbert rip off.

Mr. Garrison: Okay, children, now I wanna review the different sexual positions. Who can tell me which sexual positions we talked about? Filmore: [raises his hand] Miss'nary position? Mr. Garrison: [turns around and writes the position] Missionary position, good. A little boring, but tried and true. What else? Girl: Doggie? Mr. Garrison: [turns around and writes the position] That's right. Doggie style we went over, mhm. Boy: Pile driver? Mr. Garrison: [turns around and writes the position] Uh huh, pile driver position. Good, Quaid. Sally: The Filthy Sanchez? Mr. Garrison: [turns around and writes the position] Yes, good Flora, you remembered the Filthy Sanchez. Boy 2: Hot Karl? Mr. Garrison: [turns around and writes the position] Yes,you can give your partner the ol' Hot Karl, sure. Mr. Garrison: Okay children, so what other sexual positions have we talked about? Yeah, the wrap-around butt grab. Sure, can't forget that. Uh huh, reverse cowgirl. Good, Kevin. Hot Lunch, sure, she likes that. Donkey Punch, uh huh. Glass-bottom boat. Good one, yes. Fish-eye. Good, Jenny. Chili dog. Mm-hm. South Park kicks ass.

yes it is.

What about an FZ6R? Full fairing, relaxed ergos, decent passenger seat...??? You can find leftover 2009s for right around $6k. IMO it's way better looking than the Gladius.

The 04 and newer F4is are excellent street bikes. For STREET riding I would take one over a CBR600RR any day. I picked up an 05 F4i earlier this year and am really liking it. In 04, after the RR was released, they relaxed the ergos on the F4i (almost Interceptor-like) & retained the fully adjustable suspension. It makes for great handling and decent comfort for a 400+ mile day.

"In the snatch or down the hatch?"

Taurus has a few new models that look promising. I just ordered a Taurus 709 Slim in SS. The 738 is not yet available, but looks like a fine ultralight .380.
