    I may go this year. There's a few bikes I'd like to put my ass on. The get together afterwards a few years ago was fun.
  2. I went on a ride this summer with the 2 guys I know that have these. They are both skilled riders on the street and track. We were riding a pretty hot pace. These BMWs are quite fast in the corners. Maybe not quite SS fast, but really close. In a few places we were gassing out of corners at WOT. The S1000XR would slightly pull away from my VFR1200 (which is pretty damn fast) on 2nd or 3rd gear corner exists.
  3. I know 2 people that ride these. It's an impressive machine and quite fast.
  4. Think I'm going to try this jerky recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/142948/docs-best-beef-jerky/ Anyone got a better one?
  5. I've not been hunting. I would be fine taking the shot, I'm just not interested in doing the field dressing. I have a friend that begs me to hunt with him because he knows I can shoot. He badly wants a deer, but he's the least accurate shooter I've ever seen
  6. I'm going to try to make some for the first time, probably next week. Seems like flank steak and eye of round roast are popular cuts for jerky. Some people add meat tenderizer to the marinade, anyone know if that makes a difference?
  7. Will any dehydrator work or does it need to be a certain kind?
  8. Smoker or dehydrator? What's the best cut of meat for tender jerky?
  9. Sometimes I wear a UA cap under my helmet. That gets cleaned more often.

    FYI

    Prove it.
  11. Let them soak then hadwash in a sink. Then air dry. Works great.
  12. There is no way on earth I would pay more for a .22 rimfire round than for 9mm. I can buy 9mm for 11.99/50.
  13. One of the first mistakes I made as an investor was to open a "managed account" with a quarterly advisory fee. After 3 quarters I ditched the advisor and learned to manage it myself.
  14. By fees, I think he meant mgmt fees that are part of many investments. One of the advantages of index funds is that the mgmt fees are typically low.
  15. One of the best people I ever knew committed suicide. It wasn't selfish. He was a vet who had horrible PTSD, which led to some other complications. The only way to control it was with medication that had severe, unpleasant side effects. He was a tough human being, but years of living like that wore him down. I miss him, but I don't blame him.
  16. I like biotech. 2015 wasn't as good as previous years, but still decent. I don't plan to sell my biotech anytime soon.
  17. I used to blow through a 500 pack in my S&W 22S every time I went to the range. I haven't been able to do that for quite awhile.
  18. FF & F had 300 packs for $25 last week. That's the best I've in stores for awhile. Federal 500 packs USED to be $14.99 everywhere. I don't think we're going to see those prices again. The ammo manufacturers, retailers, and internet price gougers seem to like the higher prices.
  19. I owned a house in Parma for 12 years. Yes, most my neighbors were old white people. I was happy in Parma for the most part. We left to get away from the schools and ridiculous taxes & utilities in Cuyahoga County.
  20. Is it rated to handle hot .44 mag loads? S&W revolvers, for example, can't handle .44 +p+.
  21. I have the 3.5 in my Flex. It's an easy motor to live with. I like it a lot better than 4.2 that was in my trailblazer.
  22. Unlikely that it's bad gas, but it's easy enough to rule out. You could also check for a pinched fuel line or a bad fuel filter.
  23. I've thought about a Lincoln for my next ride.
