School lights are there as a reminder, you are supposed to know the laws concerning school speed limit times unless otherwise stated on the sign. As for passing a car that is making a left turn, it is not legal. That being said I make sure all vehicles coming the other way are stopped and also waiting to turn left for just the reason you have above. Might I also mention you should NOT move to the inside of the lane because you are making a left on a bike. You will increase the chance of being rear ended by making room for the people to get around you. Famous remark is you may be right but you might be dead right.

Well just like Michigan Germany has large tracts of land covered in sand. In fact that is how the prisoners in "The Great Escape" were able to dig so far and deep, but also why cave ins were such a problem. Now since I didn't read the article I'm guessing it blew in across the Mediterranean or something?

With the Fed looking like it's going to close will WNF close down too? If it does who would keep you from riding there. I can only imagine there won't be anyone to sell stickers either.

I installed a K&N cold air intake in my Ram 2500 5.7 and it boosted the mpg to 14 from 12. Darn truck still gets 14mpg up hill, down hill, city or highway. Lowest I've seen was 8mpg hauling a 22ft camper through back roads in WV up and down hills. I'm just thankful it is not my daily driver.

I did my not buy gas day today, didn't you get the memo?

Here's my car, it has gas problems but not the type you think.

Do you know what year KLR you'll be riding? gen I or gen II?

My DL1000 has the same basic engine so that mean it's the third fastest production bike right? My Dl 1000 is now for sale for $15000 a much better deal than his because I say so.

Nice setup. BMW makes a nice tourer and if I ever get into long distance travel on a regular basis I'd own one.

I hear it does happen. I've seen video of covered trailers behind cars flipping. Here's a truck getting flipped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq_ZVwobRXY

You should see how wind effects taller bikes like enduros. I was on the 950se Sunday and later in the afternoon I had to come home and switch bikes. I remember on a trip out west as we crossed I-90 through South Dakota we were at a constant lean going down the road and had to straighten up to take the exit ramps. Our winds are bad but the winds across the plain states are crazy at times.

My favorite street riding is the type that leads to the next trail.

Afraid the best legal riding that close will be in your yard. If you wanna go renegade then try towards Osterander. PS you missed a fun little ride and good group Sunday.

Sometimes it goes beyond taking responsibility for your own actions because it is so obvious that the person isn't even capable of helping them self anymore. I just see an obvious difference between the big mama rolling around Walmart who is filling the cart with Ho ho's and a guy welded to his chair who obviously is being brought the food by someone else.

I'm not sure this qualifies as an habitual idiotic tendency. Maybe I'm just pointing out the double standard some members have glorifying drinking or drug abuse but dumping on someone who obviously had issues beyond being a lazy fat ass. After all we all eat, many eat too much. You can quit drugs and alcohol, but you don't quit food. If anything I'd hold the "girlfriend" in lower reguard simply because she enabled the issue. I mean, someone shits themself on the couch and can't clean themself and has maggots crawling around on them, do you: A. Keep feeding them B. Admit that person has issues and call for help? Hell, most of us wouldn't treat an animal as bad as she did this guy! I feel bad for him that his "friends" were unwilling to help him get better, and instead killed him by enableing the addiction he had.

If you think that's funny, stop in at the midway motors store to the left of IP and talk about the quality rides they have in there. They have some ballin sumos in there.

Not making excuses for this guy but how is this different from the alcoholic or drug user who becomes pathetic and leaches off others willing to enable the situation? Usually this sort of issue also involves psychological or medical issues. Obesity is an easy target because our society doesn't glorify it like other addictions. I wonder how cool Charlie would appear if his drug and alcohol problems were eating issues? Fat Charlie with pudgy little eyes, welded to a chair shouting "winning"!

One way to reduce the possibility of having your car stolen.

darn slow computer

All the shooting events reminded me of one of my best (worst). When I was around 11yo or so our street still had woods surrounding the neighborhood. We would take scrap wood from new builds and make tree forts which soon resulted in little gangs (Childern of the corn style) . So we did what was natural and build weapons like spears and home made bow and arrows fromthe trees and branches. Well, one skirmish resulted in the use of our homemade weapons and I got a really lucky shot with my stick built bow and arrow, I shot one kid in the ass and it stuck! All I can say is my dad was a great guy and got me a real bow and arrow to practice with in the back yard after grounding me for a month and destroying our cache of weapons. As a result I learned a real lesson about action and consequences. Moreover how lucky I really was I didn't kill him.

Does putting a dead snake in someones mail box count? My dad was pissed but later admitted he hated the lady and laughed hard but had to do something. It was only a gardner snake and I was at that age where it wasn't malicious I just thought it should be buried and not dead in the street.

Maybe you can talk them into providing access to the bathrooms?

Yeah, but 60 on Sunday!

milk jugs, 2 liter soda bottles, juice containers, etc. I'd say fill with water, spills will evap quickly in summer.

What about some of those mega churches? Maybe a CMA member could help find someone willing to host it?
