  1. Bandit 1200. 67 lbs torque stock. With the mods I've done it's around 80. Basically a punched out gsxr1100 motor with a cam profile tuned for midrange torque. Add a pipe, filters, jets, 5° ignition advance and gsxr intake cam and it becomes one hell of an ass kicker. Mine has a touring package on it so I can embarrass kids on supersports by whipping them from light to light with a bagger.

    This kid on a super sport is up to that light to light challenge and I'll raise you a twistie challenge for giggles and shits.

  2. This thread is quite interesting...

    I have to add that being with someone when they die is something that stays with you. As MT said, it will cause nightmares, depression, etc. It's been more than 2 years since I witnessed someone dying right in front of me and I still have moments that hit me hard. It's a lot to deal with and it's getting somewhat easier but it's something that I will carry with me always. You just can't un-see things.

    I don't really want to go into the details of what happened, so forgive me if this comes across more vague than I intended.

    I can't tell you how many times I've heard that but still you get people that have never seen it that say they want to be there and comfort the dying. I'll be here to tell them I told you so afterwards.

    Sorry you had to see that Tracy, others should listen.

  3. Mmmm, pretty sure we've already established he's in it for the money.

    I am and I don't hide it. Fault me for that honesty? I'm damn good at what I do though so does it really matter what motivates me to do it? I didn't make Squad Captain by just showing up, I made it because I'm damn good at saving lives so being motivated by money or compassion really shouldn't matter. I'm just being real. I won't lie to you and tell you to hang on you'll be fine when I know damn well you'll be dead before I get you to the hospital. More people should favor honesty over false hope.

  4. My satisfaction comes every other Friday when my check is deposited. I stay in it because it's what I trained for and I really only have to work 9 days a month when I do 24/48 rotations or 12 days a month when I do every other 12s, hard to beat the schedule and the Ins is top notch. I've become cold and numb to the emotional part of it as most in EMS do. As for family, yes I've seen several after the fact and all want to forget those last moments.

    When the Nero stops many things happen.

    Bladder releases

    Bowls release

    Stomach releases

    Pulseless lifeless movements happen to confuse and haunt

    I could go on but you get the point.
