It would be AWESOME if civvie banks would do the check scanning thing! I was always jealous of Chev when I had to make about an hour round trip just to deposit my paycheck, and he just went home and did it! We now have a bank that I deal with in town, and they also have the scanning ATM's.

I saw a couple run out in the field behind the shop earlier, right after someone took a couple shots. Nice BIG buck, and a doe.

I kinda thought it was. Without a bike aren't you just a groupee or wannabee

Welcome back Sara

Well, having a bike is the point of the site, yes. At least she has had a bike when she was actively participating.

There have been more than a couple groupies and/or wannabees around here, too.

i agree, i have to eat extremely light. I have to be at work by 7. So i get up at 545 make my coffee, get dressed. and then leave by 630.

THAT SUX!!! I have a tough time with getting going before 8am!

So i am going to be running after work. Three days a week. On the days I am not running, when I get home i will be doing a series of sit ups and push ups, and maybe alittle rope jumping.

Sounds about like what I should be doing. I may have to copycat!

I like Flo, but I think it's time for Progressive to move on to a different advertising icon.

Stuff is only funny for so long....

Although, I never did want to see the Budweiser frogs go away....

i didn't think katanas HAD rev limiters... must have been an upgrade on the 'newest' generation.

my 500 isn't quite as old, but it does fine at and above 70mph. Realistically, it maxes out about 115mph in 5th gear. 6th just achieves the same speed at a lower RPM (unless you're going down hill, and have a tail wind). You guys with inline 4's in your street bikes are just spoiled

Sounds about like my Interceptor, although I haven't had the urge, or need to run it up that fast. I'm not that comfortable with the brakes and suspension, so 85 or so is enough for me.

Or bring the original thread back to life...

Search button usually works well for me.

BTW... Welcome back! Having a bike is NOT a requirement around here, you can still participate!

Teaching me to hate them and switching channels everytime that 900 riding ho comes on

TV is not going to make me want to do business with them EVER.

It's still brand recognition. I'm willing to bet that you are in the minority on this, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I am also annoyed by the commercials, especially the repetition, but repetition is KING in advertising and marketing!

I can't say 100%, but their marketing is aa big part of what made me quote my insurance with them.

d5000. I have yet to use some options,but i likey so far lol

Some options you may not want to ever use! Most of the "Auto" crap on my Canon has never been used.

This and that fugly chick on TV 24/7 is why Progressive is so expensive.

Come on now, Flo is HOT! Ya know, with her tricked out name tag and all.

It's all about marketing man, it obviously made you remember Progressive, even if you have a negative view of them. They ALL spend money on marketing, just some are more creative and noticeable.

PLEASE KILL THEM ALL even if u have to BEND the law.

Better?

I think you should buy the G35. It's clearly the smart move. Paying interest on a loan for a car that will only be worth less and less as time goes by is The American Dream realized.

Ah, yes. The American Dream. I debt up to your ears, and living from paycheck to paycheck to make the payments. NOT for me anymore!

Bike > cage, except for the winter time, then it's keep the clunker going to get you to riding season again.....

Its a horrible idea for the new LTs to turn it down. Its practically free money, thats why so many people use it to buy a new car.

If I was flyboy, Id get a new bike...esp right now since prices are CHEAP! Duc 848 sure would be nice!

At that rate, I'd put it into something that would MAKE money with it, not a car or bike that will LOSE value. Just my opinion though, and we all know how THOSE are!

whew, i thought i killed the thread with the enginerd joke...

Nice try! It has actually gone back OT a couple times!

Pug actually.

Kids would've been funny though, no matter HOW illegal...

FYI to everyone not familiar with the USAA cadet loans. Those of us that just commissioned are allowed the opportunity to pick up a $20k-$30k loan with 2% fixed interest paid over 4 yrs. If youre not an idiot, youd take the loan since most savings accounts offer a higher interest rate.

WOW! It's a bad idea to invest borrowed money, but at that rate, I don't know that you could turn that much down, when you can pay for the interest by simply putting the money in a savings account, not to mention a decent performing mutual fund....

Typical car repairs for a year, around $1000-1500. Compare that to a car payment. The money you save vs. a car payment and you could have a better car next year with the money you save.

Why spend money you don't have, to buy things you don't need, to impress people you don't like?

i just read that out loud to her and you are on a shit list

I'm sure that's not a first for Jagz..... Probably no the last time, either!

(I can't argue with him on his comment though)

Ive actually got that exact same cage...no shit.

Kids?

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!

NOW we need pics to prove otherwise!

MJ is a girl, right? Fonz calls her a dude, so maybe not?

Cash is KING!

Wht borrow money from a financial institution at say 5%, when they' give you MAYBE 2% to deposit money (that they'll use for other loans to other people) into their institution?

Wouldn't let him have any wood

Wouldn't want the sheep to get jealous!

Wow! Lot's of good info here! I've never been a runner, actually hating it. After reading through this thread, and about the c25k plan, I might actually give it a try! I think what I've always hated was the pain I would suffer from trying. I am out of shape, pretty much always have been, and realize I NEED to do something. I think I'm going to download the podrunner intervals and give it a try. The doc says I need to do something, my cholesterol is a little high, and this can't hurt!

I guess I've just been looking for a little guidance, and the c25k sounds like what I need.

Wish me luck!

Now that I look at the pics again, I see it's coming out from the middle, and might be from further up than the head gasket. Could be a crankcase vent hose leaking, or missing there, would be nice if that's it!
