  1. I understand about the lack of time off. That does suck.
  2. A friend of mine riders his wheelies on his gsxr until the oil pressure light comes on then sets the bike down. The few stunt videos I have seen show a relocated rear brake lever on the handle bar for rear brake control. So the rear brake thing seems like the way the big boys do it.
  3. Check your PM. I will be in southern Utah tonight. I will call you when i get there. We can meet if you are in the southern part of Utah.
  4. I am on vacation this week, but when i get back we can talk. As you know towards the end with my fathers issues, he was bed ridden and could not walk. I had to carry him from the bed to the living room until we got a hospital bed for him. So, the mental part of that was like, this is my father and total sucks that he can not move on his own, but everything was done out of love for him. The difference with my father was we knew his condition was short term and we knew what the result was going to be. I sat at his bed side lifting his legs up, just helping to give my father hope that the cancer tumor would shrink with his treatment and he would be able to walk. I was on the emotional roller coaster. This was the man that was always active, working in the yard, and washing cleaning cars. Some of my experience is almost the same, but the difference is we knew my dad was terminal and we did what we could for those 3 months. I am not sure how I would be able to deal with that longer term. On on hand, saying "well at least he is alive" only goes so far when everybody's life will be changed.
  5. Speedy check your PM. How about Sept 22 for a trip to Stonewall to try out the GSG and the SR22. It is also the day of the Stonewall annual picnick / raffle too, so i will be there anyway.
  6. I have one on order with Dale from the beginning of the year, no rush on my end. Not gonna pay $600 plus on the Broker-sites. Also looking for a Walther PPQ First Edition, the key being affordable.
  7. Where do you work? J/K I was not too impressed with the Ruger SR22. The grip felt "blocky" I have access to an SR 22 and the GSG 22, we can meet up at Stonewall and you can try it I plan to get another 22LR pistol and either an AK or .308 Savage bolt action rifle in December. I have no experience with a supressor anything.
  8. If i can find one affordably, I would consider a Kel-tec PMR-30 for carry gun. Holds 30 rounds of .22 Mag. Plenty of capacity.
  9. Now that gun-totin' dad is in jail, the girls are probably married with kids
  10. IP, depending on the welding part, I have a welder friend right around the corner from you in Streetsboro ( rte 43 and frost rd) if needed.
  11. In a weird way, you almost become friends with the artist since you are sharing such a personal monement in getting a tattoo.

    Welcome, sounds like you are gravity challenged
  13. How long did that take on the PK? Looks kinda cool.
  14. Either bring some water or the shop my provide bevages. My tat was about 2 hours. There was alot of general chit-chat at the beginning during the outlining. Then when there was more detail, closer lines were being done, we did not talk. The artist was able to read my body language and asked if a break was needed. For my second tattoo, I was originally thinking of getting a pinup girl, but realistly, I have a more meaningful one in mind. I took a picture of my dad's hand holding my hand during his last week of life. I plan to have a realistic tat of this picture with the words, "Strenght, Honor, Courage" written underneath.

  17. All the close, local ranges are closed today, Stonewall, A and A in Garettesville, Riverside in Cuyahoga Falls, and i knew this already, but the state range off RTE 88 in Farmington. Dang it. Looks like no trigger time for me today.

    I am looking for forks for my 1972 Honda 500 Four project.
  19. It takes awhile to empty a keg with only 2 people.
  20. Condition is everything. $300-ish ( give or take a $50 - $75) for the SKS itself With ammo, scope ( depends on brand ) bi pod, maybe another $150 in extras? Pics would be helpful. Gunbroker or Bud's gunshop websites to get a baseline ASKING price.

    Magz, do you have spare triple tree and forks available?
  22. scottb

    Wake up to this.

    Glad you are ok, sorry to hear about the bike. Anything salvagable from the bike? Question related to the bike being totaled, can you also claim replacement cost ( or some value of) helmet, gloves, jacket?
  23. I read the first few pages, then jumped to the end to see the video of the car running. It is one of those project where they did it just because they could.
  24. Armslist has not had a give-away contest since July = Do Not Like
  25. I have been to QSL in Valley View a few times this year. Mostly to meet up with friends, walk around for a bit and then organize a short ride with the group. Sometimes, it is better people watching then the People of Walmart website.
