Before you drop $50 on that parrot, i have a Scala rider that I will sell for $40. It's only been used a couple times. It works well. Its just not something I want to do while riding. I bought it from Casper for $40 last year. I work in Columbus and live in Radnor. Let me know if you are intested. if you search for it I am sure you can find the thread that talked about it.

FYI I tried to send you a PM but your PM box is full.

Bill.

Greg go with this. It's the set dawn and I have. If you get it we can talk about brandon while were all riding and he won't have a clue lol.

Bux nut which scala is it? We have the Q2. It's got Bluetooth, radio and 2-way communication to up to 4people.

Hell yeah... There is some Spec ops retired guys that have a company, where they go take care of them for the farmers and if I am not mistaken donate the meat to the food banks...

It is awesome.. There is a video on youtube where they are using thermal imaging scopes to shoot them at night.

there is a state forest here in Ohio that is becoming over-run. My brother-in-law and I and the fiance will most likely take a trip there this coming spring/summer and snipe a couple for a hog roast.

I do not know how open the invitation is... But If they want them eraticated (spelling?) I will post it up on here....

What state forest is that? I'm assuming its southern Ohio. If its an open invite I'd be interested. I haven't got a scope for it yet but I'd love to take my .308 AR-10 out for a good hunt.

I just watched a show called The Wild Within. The host travels around and hunts. This episode was in Hawaii. The guy hunted octopus and killed it by biting its face. Then he did a deer hunt with a rifle. Then he went out and did a hog hunt using dogs. When the dogs got to the hogs he literally fought it to death with a knife. I would like to give that a try. Anyone know anyone that hunts hogs that way? I know it would probably have to be out of state but I would travel for a chance to do a hunt with a good hog dog team.

I just watched a show on wild hogs on the discovery channel. These people were making a living hunting/trapping hogs. Now that looks like a blast, wish I could do that. I used to raise hogs for 4-H and did a little work on a small hog farm when I was younger. Domestic hogs are rough I could only imagine the rush of dealing with a wild one. Just thought I'd share that.

Welcome

I got the day off work so ill be there.

Are you saying you are going to bring a knife to a gun fight....

I've seen what jagr will do with a knife to himself pulling flags off his bike. Let alone what he'd do to someone in a fight. I'd be worried.

I'm down I need to see where my bikes at. See if there's any room for improvement.

I'm interested to see these numbers. Make sure he blocks off the pairs valve before tuning it. Otherwise it will throw off the air fuel reading in the exhaust.

2nd dibs if jagr doesn't end up taking it

Why would you want to open carry? BTW WI. is an OC state.....

Because we can. Just think of it as preventive maintenance.

Wow

Is this marc?

Welcome. Bout time you posted on here. Lol.

You are much closer to this issue than I am. Just be aware of where your info comes from. The biggest financial loss here is to the rich millionaires running that union on your dues. If you think the parking lot at Lehman Brothers had some cars, go see your national headquarters. Regardless ... good luck to you and stay safe.

The union isn't perfect but the amount they take for my dues is minimal compared to what a private corrections company takes for themselves.

My intent was not to minimize what a CO does. It is dangerous and is a very necessary job. What is the pay/benefits difference between private and state-run prisons? When a prison is privatized, do they term everyone and then hire back at new rates? Does the union change or become null/void? These are actually questions... I'm not trying to make any points.

The union is gone once privatization comes in. The current employees may get a job offer but may not. The pay cut could be anywhere between 4-10 dollars per hour. Most will probably just jump on unemployment and look for a new job. The corrections officers pay a lot into taxes. Cutting pay results in less taxes being payed. It's a band-aid fix where stitches are required. The new governor worked for Lehman (sp) brothers a business that failed. Now he wants to run a state as a business. Sounds dumb to me. The only people who are going to benefit from his plans are rich business men.

Welcome

Corrections is not law enforcement or fire rescue. I would never advocate privatization of those services. We've nearly totally privatized waste management, road construction, airport security and the list goes on. I will admit that I am not an expert on corrections, but the union-mentality worker's rights bullshit doesn't hold water in a debate with me. Jobs are created because a service is neeed, not to provide work, pensions, and overtime pay. I don't have any skin in the corrections argument and could be swayed by reasonable debate.

How can you say corrections isnt law enforcement? Police catch people and enforce laws by sending said people to court. At court a judge enforces laws by sentencing people. The worst of criminals are sentenced to prison. Without corrections this cannot happen. Therefore the most important laws can't be enforced.

How much would it cost for you to risk your life a minimum of 40hrs a week, telling felons what to do? Just because they are in prison doesn't mean they quit breaking laws and are well behaved. Contrary to popular belief they are out of their cells most of the day. The state needs to do away with dumb policies that cost money. The problem isn't in the labor. It's in the policies that dictate spending. We pay the inmates. WTF is up with that? When buying supplies the state can only get them from contracted suppliers who charge crazy amounts of money for stuff. Inmate health care is insane they pay $3 for anything they need done. The state covers the bill. Think about the cost 1 aids patient costs the state. The list goes on.

When the state privatizes it pays the companies that take over with taxes. It doesn't create jobs it destroys them. Prisons for example how can a company "business" make money without a profit making product. A private prison comes in charges the state "x" amount of dollars per employee but pays said employee a lot less. Also the private companies have shitty benefits. Top out pay for CCA (corrections corporation America) is 13 dollars an hour after 20+ years of service. Starting pay is less than a lot of fast food restaurants. Do you really want the kid working the drive through window making sure those crazy rapist murders don't get out? If you think cutting law enforcement fire and corrections budgets is good, I hope your family gets raped by a nut case that burns your house with you in it crippling you. Then the fire department takes forever to get there due to poor equipment. The cops don't find the guy for years then after they do he escapes from prison due to underpaid officers not caring. Bet you would have wished the quality of law enforcement + fire and corrections was better.

I used to carry my xd-45 but its a little too bulky. Now most of the time I carry my p3at kel-tech. But it depends on my mood. Nice having options.

I'm from cleveland also & i can definitely say these streets are much better for bikes. Nice pic with the stadium in the background. I'm looking forward to trailering the bike up there to ride this summer.

Please explain how Cleveland streets are better for bikes? What bikes, bmx? Better than what streets? The roads in India? Take your bike to 555 in south east Ohio and tell me what you think of that route? Riding in the city sucks.

You're northeast of Zanesville. That's pretty far east to me.

The far east? Isn't that where they make cheap toys and ugly hookers?

I have one of the shortest drives if not the shortest. I guess it makes up for the mileage I put down going to that pizza place out east.

I'm guessing your insurance is do to age. Until I turned 25 the only place I could get a decent price for insurance was state farm. When I bought my cbr progressive wanted me paying more a month for insurance than the bike payment. That's with a clear driving record. Some places wouldn't give me a quote. Check out Tito Paul in Delaware he's the best I could find.

I'm down I will have to get there a little early because I leave for work about 1230 that day. So if we get a head count I will get us a table.
