I'm pretty sad its not gonna be karaoke/Buddy's. I had a whole "call me maybe" thing developing:

Hey, I just met you

and this is crazy

but here's my Honda

ride bitch maybe

I know that NICS checks are done at gun show - for dealers, not for private sales.

The fact that private sales are not regulated makes NICS useless.

No, no it doesn't. Private sale is a very very small percentage of gun trade and guns never make it to private sale with a nics check to first get to private hands. So there is still an accountability process. And like I said, private sale is a very very small part. Instituting nics for private sale would make an unnoticeable difference.

Besides that any private seller can still have a nics done by simply doing the transaction at a dealer. We have done it at delta several times, buyer and seller both come in and buyer fills out paper and we run it. Not that hard. You are over thinking this and asking for an unneeded useless change that already is available to you

My wife and I were just talking about how to (try to) keep guns away from crazies. One idea, mentioned above, is to have "mental defective" status (Item 11.F on the NICS form) be reported by mental health professionals to the govt so that NICS will already know this.

Other than "legal" sales where a metal case does not self-report his mental status, the biggest risk is unregulated private sales. Sorry, but the "gun show loophole" has to close.

Another suggestion, from my wife, is to set up NICS stations at gun shows. They can be ATM-sized machines that would work thusly:

- I go to a gun show and want to buy a gun privately

- Seller and I walk up to the NICS Station.

- I fill out information on the screen in a private manner.

- NICS result is displayed on the screen, and printed out.

- Seller keeps the printed form and the sale completes.

There is a debate about if the seller info or gun serial# should be stored.

If the gun is used in a crime and traced back to the seller, he provides the NICS station printout to prove that the NICS check was done and the result was a "proceed". Any sale that takes place without a NICS check would be illegal.

All other private sales would have to happen in the presence of a dealer who would run the NICS check - OR a NICS check station could be supplied for customer use at gun shops or similar businesses.

OR we open up the NICS phone # for regular people to use.

NICS checks are already done at gun shows. There is no loop hole for a dealer. Private sales can take place anywhere, a gun show is not needed for a private sale and there is no real way to regulate private sales. Guns in the wrong hands also are not often from a private sale, they are stolen

MT... How long have you guys been doing this trip?!

This will be the second time as an official OR event but this will be the 5th time for a few of us

I know he's probably fine' date=' but I sure wish Isaac would call me back. I'm losing my fucking mind right now.[/quote']

And I give you local members affected Mr.SerpentRacer.

Completely uncalled for dick comment

Lucid HD7

How can that comment ever be construed to good taste?!?

.

For some odd reason I wanted to give him the benefit of doubt and hope he had some insiteful deep meaning that I missed. Yea I know it's reaching but I hoped there was something redeeming he would add

we need more people with guns. that should solve everything!

Not sure if serious, not sure if said in good or bad taste. Am sure didn't need said at all. You know it's a small world and there well could be several members here directly effected by this tragedy.

There's several other threads where douche comments could fit nicely and even be welcomed, this thread however is not one

I'm aware but not many are gonna want their motorcycle or car on an open transport. Granted its done numerous times I just don't wanna deal with it in the beginning. I am looking at some hybrid trailers as another option best of both worlds. ,

You are right, a few wont. But most will and you'll find motorcycle transport will be few and far between. You have to cater to the masses more than the few to get a profitable business going and the very few that demand enclosed will not make up for the price difference of enclosed let alone the loss of freight due to having enclosed. Trust me on this, I've been there. Also the expense of your IFTA, DOT, ICC, 26000+ GVW Plates and million dollar liability policy do not make this a part time venture and that's not counting the payment on truck and trailer.

I won't complicate your thread further, you can call me if you want and I will gladly talk to you further. Like I said, I've been there. I did it for 2 years and your thinking is flawed. I thought the same as you going into it and did the research too. Real world though is much different.

I wish you luck and you can call if you want but trust me, your thinking on this is wrong.

You will have more flexibility and load options availible to you with an open trailer and tarps than an enclosed trailer. As well as lower cost and weight. Also easier to load and secure your load

UP, can I keep my bike in your enclosed trailer to keep the saboteurs at bay?

Biggie

I wouldn't dream of touching that pretty bike. You on the other hand I plan on feeding under cooked pork and chicken to along with ridiculous amounts of liquor so the turns make you so sick you have to slow down and puke while I pass you

But I do wish you luck in your venture, I did hotshot loads, car hauling and trailer hauling for 2 years. It's a cut throat business and every one will try to undercut your price. Unless you have a very good broker and stay loaded out and back for atleast $1.50 a mile you are wasting your time.

Yea, good luck dragging a 15 bike trailer thru the Gap without incident

For the money, its hard to beat a Liberty Safe. Lowes is a Liberty Dealer and they price match plus 10%. So when the clearance ads come out from the gun and sporting goods stores take that ad to Lowes for another $100 off. My last safe purchase was the Liberty Fat Boy for almost half price

True

What I was told is that you can have a mag with more than a 30 rd capacity, as long as no more than 30 rds are loaded in the weapon at any time.

No.

Any mag designed to hold more than 30 rnds is banned except if used in an NFA tax stamped weapon.

IE, these mags are perfectly legal in my SBR but becomes a crime when I put in my regular AR

I lost it when he pushed the scooter guy over yet again.

Whoa. Look who's back

Honda toolkits (if you have one) have a stubby shock preload wrench in them. I should still have one for an F4i and non-ABS RR.

You ever tried to use it? folds like tin foil

I have off ill be there, im close so ill ride unless rain. Not sure on the tools for my suspension i got some under my seat?

There are no suspension tools under your seat.

So you're gonna run down the hill and fuck one a dem sheep?

We do that at home. The Gap is for our who's faster shit talking. Home is for our better sheep lover shit talking

And I'll still be able to light the best fire.

Yes you will, we will not dispute your title there.

That's the right attitude. We're not there to see who's the fastest and someone will always wait at the turn offs.

Bullshit, that's the only reason 4 of us go is to outrun the other 3 and rub it in the rest of the year. Turnone may have bragging rights from last year but I'm gonna sabotage him this year and smoke him. Who's yer daddy Chris, that's right this midgets goan be

I call dibs on it now for when you switch to another manufacturer in 6 months

I'd rock it and its not the worst of everything. The 900rr was pretty bad ass. I had a 98 900rr until, well, until that day
