  1. I enjoyed your videos as well. Your pillion is lovely! Was it intimidating riding along the shear cliffs with no guardrails? The views were spectacular.
  2. SportTour did tires for me with no problems and I would recommend them as well. Marc
  3. Sounds like a great horned owl. Not legal to shoot ...

    Want.

    Now this would be really good with an integral suppressor.
  5. The FN 57 pistol holds 20 rounds and it is sort of a .22. I have an extended magazine that holds 30 rounds for it.
  6. Even with young eyes, it is impossible to have the target and front and rear sites in focus at the same time. You should focus on the front site and both the target and the rear sight will be a little fuzzy. Once you get old enough to need reading glasses, even this will be difficult. The red dot site will fix this, but it is kind of cumbersome for a carry gun. Big white dots on the sites help. For target shooting, try some weak reading glasses. I usually shoot two-handed, but if you try one-handed you will usually find that you can see the sites better since they will be a bit farther away. Getting old sucks.

    Tommy gun

    It's only worth the big bucks if it is documented in the NFA registry. If not, it is illegal and you had better keep quiet about it.
  8. If you have your Concealed Handgun License you can leave the loaded gun in your car all the time. If somebody breaks into your car and steals it, you can report it to the police and your insurance company. If you have the gun all locked up, it is unlikely that you will be able to get to it quickly in an emergency. If somebody steals my gun, I will buy another one or use one of my "spares".
  9. As one of the people who is expected to work beyond age 65 so that we can afford to pay for public union employees to retire with pension and health care after 20 years and can't be fired even when they are lazy or incompetent, I will be voting for issue 2.
  10. It might have happened anyway, but he was a dumbass.
  11. Almost half the poeple pay no federal taxes now. They have no incentive to restrain spending since they pay nothing. They want more and more "services" from government and they want someone else to pay for it. People who pay no taxes should not be able to vote. They have do dog in the fight.
  12. Sometimes, when seconds count, police are HOURS away ...
  13. It seems like I am able to regularly find ammo at $22/box of 50. No, you can't find the AP stuff anymore.
  14. Maybe the difference in value of the Ferrari between "never been hit" and "hit but fixed properly" is in the tens of thousands of dollars. The cabbie just cost this guy a bunch of money even if he had enough insurance to have it fixed right.

    father's day

    I'm a regular old fart dad and I asked my kids for fresh family portraits of them and their families for father's day. As far as gadgets go, I recently got a Kindle e-reader and like it a lot.
  16. Not being a sports fan, this whole thing confuses me. The college players help make the various universities bazillions of dollars, but if they accept a free ride or a free beer (or sell a ring), suddenly they are pariahs. This sounds like a real deal if you are the college. If you are a player - not so good.
  17. I left the bike. They will do it either way.
  18. They installed a set of Michelin PR2s for me that I got thru them at a reasonable price.
  19. I like the Pinlock visor on my RF-1100. It's very good at preventing fog. I wish they either made a darker Pinlock insert or else had a dark shield that could accept the Pinlock insert instead of only clear. That said, it is still the best thing I have found.

    Ammo Reloading

    If you are reloading lots of handgun ammo, you will want a "progressive" press like those made by Dillon and others. Life is too short to do these on a single stage press. I have a Dillon 550 that I have been using for years and years. There are both cheaper and more expensive models. Once set up properly, you can literally turn the crank to make quality ammo. For small amounts of precision rifle ammo, the Dillon-style progressive press is probably overkill and maybe even a negative.
