  1. Also, something like 12-15 states now consider gold and silver to be legal tender.
  2. I have a diversified portfolio that I am very comfortable with. I also keep a certain amount in savings that I don't invest in case the market were to go to shit for awhile. Precious metals tend to increase when everything else drops. So it seems like a decent hedge when the market is in panic mode. I'm considering moving around 10-15% of my savings into physical silver bars (which is trading at a very low ratio to gold right now). Worse case, I throw them in a safe and my kids inherit silver bars someday
  3. If so how do you do it? Physical, ETFs, funds, mining stocks? I am considering moving a small portion of my liquid assets (savings account) into physical silver bars. Reason is that I think that silver prices will grow more than the barely existent interest rates at the bank. Thoughts?
  4. It held 6 full bags of groceries just fine. Even today, the PC would be a fun bike for sport touring 1 or 2 up. They were rock solid except for the voltage regulator, which was typically upgraded.
  5. I can't get past the whole keeping a box of cat waste in the house. Even worse, the cat walks in said box, and seconds later walks on your counter. That's where food get's made. Hell no.
  6. Oh, and I hate cats, and will never own one. But, 90% sure I ate cat once from a Chinese carry out place on W 25th in Cleveland. Not terrible, but it definitely wasn't the sweet and sour pork I ordered.
  7. I refuse to assign names to anything that can't respond to that name. That goes for motorcycles, cats...some kids.
  8. I had one of those, even took it on a couple CORE rides. Practical and comfortable, with WAY more cornering capability than you'd expect. They were also wildly unpopular...maybe because it looked like it was designed by Tupperware
  9. I get all my tires mounted there. Low volume dealer, but good to deal with.
  10. That would look at home in a Civic.
  11. It has a clutch lever.
  12. That could be a forever bike.
  13. If I was to buy a new naked bike for mach retard it would be a Street Triple 765 or an MT-10. But, if you're planning on much 2 up riding the Tracer GT might be a better overall package.
  14. Are the ergos the same? It's been a few years since I sat on Speed Triple, but I remember the reach to the bars being noticeably longer.

    2019 Gap Trip.

    I am for sure not going this year. I'll be traveling for work. Instead I'll be doing a 3 or 4 day WV ride in either late June or early July.
  16. It corners well, but limited to 45 degrees of lean (by the front end), but the pegs drag much sooner than that The entire premise of this things seems to be that 3 wheels have more grip than 2. Well, just get a car then. Not to mention it's much uglier than a Can Am Spyder. It's an interesting engineering exercise, but it will be a commercial flop. These will be sitting in showrooms for years as deeply discounted leftovers.
  17. I will absolutely judge the fuck out of people who are disappointed Trump wasn't involved in election collusion.
  18. I sat on a FZ 06 at the motorcycle show in '04 or whatever year it was released. I remember thinking that it made a of sense as a light tourer, or corner carver...but what a weird fucking handlebar angle. Easily solved by Renthal.
  19. Sold. Not here and for more
  20. The 36 has been around for awhile. Holds 1 less round than a 1911, but way smaller and lighter...and Glock. https://us.glock.com/Products/G36
  21. Glock 36 Slimline in very nice shape. Single stack .45 ACP. Sell here for $425, which is a pretty good deal IMO.
  22. Nothing makes for a good ride like hearing about a whole lot of feelings...lol
  23. Part of the reason I ride is to avoid people chatting in my ear
