I'm guessing that you are just outside of the warranty period? I remember from one of my classes that mission critical systems should optimally be replaced every 18 months. Because the target lifespan of machines is just outside of the warranty period or something like that.

My Powermac G5 died exactly 1 month outside of the Applecare warranty. This is why I buy relatively cheap refurbished/reconditioned electronics these days. Oddly enough I've had excellent luck with the refurbished stuff not failing too soon.

And by the way, I've also had excellent luck with Avira and Malwarebytes. ESET is my preferred Security suite.

I wonder if using the Skype mobile phone app along with proxy servers along with a touch of cell phone spoofing would combat this pesky tracking problem?

keep in mind, certain insurance will not cover any gear outside of your helmet.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that about certain insurance companies, but I do know that Progressive covered everything involved including my jacket, gloves, and aftermarket accessories.

That would be cool to take to US129 and get some pictures from the professional photographers while it's going around a corner.

I heard the daughter is on the no-fly list, and has recently flown one-way with no checked baggage....

Good thing they're installing the whole body scanners.

Some people can get ran over by cars, get shot, crash into big rigs, crash their motorcycles at highway speeds, and come out fine. Other people die from slipping on Frosted Flakes in the kitchen. I feel lucky to be in the first group.

I was definitely a skeptic of Alex Jones, but it's interesting to note that without the infusion of flamboyant conclusions much of the facts are correct and tend to make me come to similar conclusions (and make me feel a little crazy in the process).

I think anyone that questions the government should check out www.infowars.com or prisonplanet.tv, and then research some of the claims themselves. I think you'll find that truth is stranger than fiction.

Here's a few links about the H1N1 fiasco.

What kinda radical blogosphere do you pull your 'information' from?

, but seriously? Yea, I'm going to take that website serious

I was being sarcastic with the "With Obama or with the terrorists."

But really, I think the previous posts seem to hint at the false left/right paradigm that's highlighted at www.infowars.com.

You're either with Obama, or you're with the terrorists

I hear the criticism all the time. Having crashed before, I can say that crashing is an excellent bike and gear upgrade path. Must have great insurance (gap if necessary), and be wearing excellent gear (need receipts for damage reimbursement). Dress for the crash.

Buell would have been better off being sold at a dealer such as Competition Accessories that sells other innovative brands such as Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha. There seemed to be a lot of undeserved disdain for Buell at many of the HD dealers.

The people that buy Buells aren't in the Harley shop looking at cruisers and magically get turned into a sport bike rider. The Buell riders seem to be the ones that are used to the non-HD shops, because in order to get any real equipment that's where they have to go. (I don't recall seeing any RF1000s at the few HD shops that I've visited.)

I also have a gloss black RF1000. The RF1000 has been great at every speed, unlike my old (undisclosed) cheap helmet, which had problems in the triple digits. :-)

Just got an inexpensive quadcore pc, something like this one:

I've had great luck with refurbished electronics. I figure they've had twice as many checks as the normal stuff.

Haven't had time to load the virtual machines yet. Encoding H264 with Handbrake is very nice.

Looks like an opportunity to get away from the psycho ex...hmm *thinking*

If it was a gatorade color, that'd be a good commercial for the SuperBowl. Everyone would be saying wtf?

My previous bike was an 05 SV1000S (all black). I loved it, and miss it for it's passenger capabilities and smooth engine (150mph doesn't feel much different than 80mph). I would have kept it forever if I hadn't totalled it. The only thing is that the stock exhaust sounds like the spaceships in the Jetsons.

A lot of girls seem to like the SV1000S moreso than my 1125R for some reason. It must be the comfy passenger seat with grab rail.

Perfect weather for the snow sports. I'll probably see you there.

Couldn't help but notice the obama score card. Here's a video that shows video of obama promising one thing and then video of him doing the opposite.

SV1000S is my vote for a guy transitioning from a cruiser.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get back on the pedal bike also. It's hard to do that because I have to walk by the 1125R to get it.

On another note, it's too bad that it's been getting cooler for the last 10 years. I was hoping for an extra month of riding due to the global warming thing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8299079.stm

Nice ride. I'm dying for that dry mid-40 degree day in January to take the bike out.

Was skiing at Mad River recently and met Yotaman88210 in the loft, and he recommended I check out the forum. I'm currently also a member of sport-touring.net.

I started touring on my bicycle back before I had a license. I'd go 50-100 miles on the bicycle just for fun, and of course I did the annual bicycle rallies. After a while it get's kinda boring and not to mention dangerous. Going 30mph on just about any road is just asking to get ran over.

Since bicycling is so dangerous, I needed to find something a little safer while retaining the general two-wheeled exhilaration.

I really only needed something that I could safely tour on without worrying about getting ran over by the flow of traffic. I ended up with a 08 Buell 1125R; her name is Lilly.
