  1. http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/productpagebrand.asp/brand/SIDI/Class3/Street%20Boots-Mens/Class2/Footwear/Class1/STREET%20PRODUCTS The Doha's or the Escape. I like the Escape, the Doha is probably a bit better for ankle support though. Both are great for walking. Escape has a very stiff sole. My next pair I'm looking at the Evo Rain.
  2. 211BHP@$91,700...............vs. an '03 GSXR1000/2 stage boost@225low boost, and 335 high boost....yes that's hp for around $9000.00 and it looks like birth control, no thanks.
  3. That thing's looks so fast it'll shave off at least 2 seconds on your time!very nice.
  4. Bring back 3C camps or some variation, build some roads, you need assistance, you have to work a government sponsored job at the least and you get a deadline for being on the welfare roll. The other thing is the idea of entitlement. Since when is it the government's job to coddle you?
  5. Plenty of kids here need homes. Plenty of people here go hungry. As for the original question, Mexico vs. Haiti, Mexico has a government in place, albeit not the greatest. Haiti had a piss poor government, and now has no government and no infrastructure. In very short order with no US presence, you would have Somalia, Part 2, which is a great breeding ground for extreme terrorist recruiting and behaviors. But, you could put a fence up around it and leave it for 10 years and see what you get.... There are people just as hard up in Mexico, millions of them, at least Mexicans work, not sure about a bunch of Haitians bitching because the food was air dropped and they had to go a ways to get it.
  6. Oh yeah, get some friends together and make a road trip to Newport, Ky. straight down I-71. Go to the Hofbrau House, great German food and they brew several different beers there, very excellent, worth the drive. If you go on Sat. night, when you're done go about a block east and then south a couple blocks, can't remember the name of the street, but there is a great Blues Bar there on the corner of this old neighborhood near the restaurant. Very Cool.
  7. Pine Club, Bonefish Grill, One of my favorites is J. Alexander's, best steaks around.
  8. If all you want to do is punch paper and do it cheap, a nice Ruger .22 target pistol is cheap and fun. If you want home protection, get a short barreled .12ga. pump with an extended mag tube, I like a Remington. If you want a decent handgun that's versatile, accurate, small enough to CCW later (frame size and weight) I really like the Glock 27 .40 cal. I'm pretty partial to the .40 These guns are tough reliable and quite ugly. I never though I'd own a partially plastic gun, but they are reliable and very accurate right out of the box. If you're "brand concious" and you want to drop the coin I like a Sig Sauer or a Kimber. But, if the gun has to look great and you're not partial to a semi, I love that S&W 500, that is a Man's Gun! Ammo is pricey though, about $60-65.00 a box,,,,, for 20.
  9. Try Barnacle Bill's Custom Leathers. Competitive prices, custom fit to you. call for a price. I've never bought any but a friend of mine likes them. They got a website.
  10. I got my choice the other day, stayed with RWB. But the price!? Dang, I remember paying $12.00 for a m/c plate not too many years ago. $63.00 for one and an extra $10.00= $73.00 for the other one ( for tax on a "new reg.") what a screwin'!
  11. I'll tell you what. I never heard anything like that beast in my life. I'd love to have that thing in the GP version. A real widowmaker.
  12. :beating: I would vote for him if I could. I'd also pull the trigger on the murderer, no problem.
  13. That's pretty cool. It was better live in person though.
  14. Agree w/ the conservative mode on these posts. Take the loan, invest it, get a return. IF you NEED a car, buy used, buy a salvage rebuild, BUT whatever you do DO NOT buy a new car. It is the worst thing you could do. They are not investments. Most Cars are a drain on your resources. It's a dead expense. Figure up the cost of a car and all the maintenance you've done, if you can keep it at .10 a mile or less, you're doing o.k. Buy a 20-40,000 dollar car and you gotta put a helluva a lot of miles on it to keep it at .10 a mile or less. No one does that much because they get tired of driving the same thing and they trade them in or sell them at a loss.....
  15. Previous news report states it was 25 mph impact. This evening's news report states he declined interview for 3rd time, and was found lying outside the vehicle, unconscious..... hhmmmm doesn't compute. Another version was his wife was seen running down the street hitting the side of the SUV with a 5 iron,he hit the tree, she beat his ass w/ that golf club and nearly killed him, knocking him out because he was "playing with that big breasted"woman over in Australia, and now his wife is pissed!
  16. Probably won't do that kind of mileage on that thing w/o the bar risers. 250 or so in a day is my limit on that for now
  17. Anytime you keep it wheels down and ride off into the sunset is graceful!
  18. 340 miles for me and my buddy Dan. Took a few pics, hopefully they are viewable. Most of it down in Kentucky. Dusk when I got home and a little chilly, but a great ride. http://img33.imageshack.us/g/dsc01920ch.jpg/
