What a fag, doesn't he know that an R1 is the wrong bike to set the around-the-world record on?

Something about draught tastes a bit watered down or flatter, and doesnt have that crispness you get out of the bottle.

Its winter - dark beer time...

If you're drinking good, fresh beer (at a place like winking lizard), draft is better.

how the hell are you supposed to pick up strange on the road if you stay in the room?

Buy it Casper and write it off as an OR business expense.

Yeah, he could just put it in the arcade!

I've got new tires on the truck...

Which ones did you get?

It was an INCREDIBLE turn out.

Well, except for them my plan is flawless.

Excellent observation... Kudos!

Which ties in with something else I was wondering... Why did Jax put his NS ring before the SO one? Why not put them in order so they read correctly??

That's not this director's style, that would be too perfect.

No one is alive anymore that knows he pulled them over or knows about the 'intel'...he was driving along on patrol....saw it going down and got hit by the bad guys and got lucky they didn't kill him and no he didn't see who it was. Something like that will be his story.

Eh, the agents in the other car knew about it.

BTW... Any ideas what the "NS" title stood for??

"NS" was the ring that Jax placed on his father's grave.

It went with his dad's (or maybe bro's?) "SO" ring. SONS

Seems like a pretty short season...Good thing I just bought season 1 and 2 on DVD!

13 episodes? Pretty standard FX series.

A popular mod for the Marshmallows is to pull the grey tube out that's under the foam, remove the paper filter, put a small piece of foam (like from an old pair of ear phones) into the exposed tube, replace grey tube and foam.

enjoy.

Kinda hard to legally copycat a patented design... jussayin'

ZTL brakes, for example.

True, but in this industry, patents are held to very specific criteria. Otherwise we'd only have one suspension company, one brake company, etc.

Somehow I don't think that EB would agree with that. From the interviews I've seen/read, I'd say the man genuinely believes the technology gives an advantage. The underpowered 1125RR was consistently scoring top tens in AMA Superbike this year...something must be working.

We'll know for sure if the 1190RS gets homolgated into Superbike for next season

No, Buell would never make that statement. His quirky features are what sets him apart from every other manufacturer. But at the end of the day, if the things he was doing were so great, you'd see other people doing them.

just like his stupid underslug exhaust idea, or stupid mass centralization. Nobody is doing that

while some of his innovations have been copied by competitors, many of them are simply there to be different.

If' date=' and that's a mighty big if, EBR gets around to building moar bikes.. I'll bet dollars to dildos that the swingarm/exhaust nonsense gets deep sixed.[/quote']

Very likely.

It does say something though about Erik's commitment to innovation. It shows he's still looking forward.

Ooh, I love these threads!

For the hop lovers, if there's a beer on this list you haven't had, you owe it to yourself to find it.

Bell's Hopslam- seasonal, expensive, but goddam delicious.

Southern Tier 2XIPA- GREAT IPA! Nearly as good as Hopslam, but cheaper and more readily available.

Founder's Harvest Ale- comparable to hopslam in taste and price. A very good beer.

Columbus Brewing IPA- Another great IPA for a good price, local for many of us.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo- Extra IPA, great beer for the money and available year round.

Sierra Nevada Celebration- Not a Christmas beer like you'd expect looking at the box. Try it if you like hops.

There's really too many of these... Ale Smith IPA, Dogfish 60, 90, 120 minute...

Other favorites:

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout- Big $$ and unavailable in ohio due to alc %. Freaking delicious. My favorite bourbon barrel beer.

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout- Bourbon barrel aged breakfast stout. Very limited release, expensive and hard to find.

Great Lakes Edmond Fitzgerald Porter- One of the best American porters around and it's readily available.

I'll stop there for now.

I don't really see a benefit from it though? The underbody exhaust already addressed that unsprung weight issue, without putting extra stresses on the swingarm.

he's basically eliminated the need for the underbody. Take away the fairly large weight of a muffler system and add a tiny amount of weight to the swingarm- while also improving aerodynamics.

schweet.

yup, just stole this

My WOW internet goes to shit every night at about 10:15.

Automated b-day greeting sounds so heartfelt!

My next season prediction:

Jax will have renewed resolve to clean up the Sons in order to make a better life for his kid. This will cause a rift within the club. Gemma's legal troubles and Jax's cooperation with Feds will put Jax and Clay head to head with members choosing sides and Gemma stuck in the center but unable to help.

Competing gangs and Charming's gov't will attempt to take advantage of the weakened club and try to put the Sons under.

A surprise death, maybe Opie, will get the group back together to preserve the club.

My mailbox got one of those last year, for a "paid off" bike sitting in the garage. I didn't have insurance, because I wasn't riding it. It did have valid plates. I had to spend lots of dollars to avoid a 6 month suspension.

"F" Ohio!

So if you're not riding it, why pay for plates?

It's pretty clearly stated on the form you sign when renewing your reg that you have to have state minimum insurance on any registered vehicle.

If he'll fit on an Honda 70, get one of those.

I've got 2 and they're awesome. Much more comfortable for adults to ride too.
