This is a dark path we're on. This sends 1930s Germany chills right down my spine. No different than shutting down a radio station or newspaper, or silencing a protestor.

Enzo.... just brought a little tear to my eye. For you readers, pick up The Art Of Racing in The Rain by Garth Stein.

Shithead... love that movie.

"Rider" and "Cycleworld" are two others that I read. Of the two, Rider is written a little better...... IMO.

Thoughts and wishes to the rider and family.

Congratulations!

I'm sorry about your friend. RIP rider.

Who knows?.... maybe gander knows something we don't.

You made out well. My blue book is a 2005 and it lists it $175-$600. Gander will never sell it for a profit.

I really can't totally articulate why, but the .40 isn't my favorite round. Personally, I like the feel of the .45 and the cost of shooting the 9mm. The Glock is my 2nd .40 (XD was the other) and both were flawless in their function and extremely accurate .... but there's something about that recoil that bugs me. It's not bone-shattering, or overly-loud, but different. If you're convinced a 9mm isn't going to do it for you, shoot a .45. An XDM .45 can be had new for $550 and is the only handgun reviewed in my collection of over 15 years of Gun Tests magazine that shot sub-one inch groups with all ammo tested.

I liked my XD .40. Wasn't the "M", but it shot well. You could also buy my Glock.

Welcome! Watch the forum and you'll see some rides in SEO that are well attended by those in NEO. Meet up and ride down!

Friday bump..... maybe someone's nice and liquored up and wants to buy a gun. I'd also trade for an older project bike.... something with the potential to run, but maybe needs some work.

Good luck! They don't just give away those crossbreeds. Nice add on to a decent price!

I had to look up PB blaster... makes sense though. I'm looking at mid-70s Hondas... most likely a mid-'70s CB 750 right now, but there is also an early '80s Virago that caught my eye. I've been a homeowner for 12 years now and have the basic tools including a quality socket set with an additional set of extra-long sockets, a quality DeWalt 18v, hex wrenches, Dremmel, etc... I also have some aptitude for fixing things, but not the experience. I'm looking for suggestions about tools that I just wouldn't have lying around... The BP blaster (I know it's lube, not a "tool"), torque wrenches, torch (don't have one, but I bet I'll need to learn to solder).... I know my finished product isn't going to be a show-quality restoration, but I'm looking for the pride of taking something that doesn't work and making it work.

I grew up in a house where my father had the local garage change the oil in the car and the lawnmower took a week-long vacation each spring to get ready for summer. That being stated, I want to learn some things about wrenching. I'm closing in on a few deals on some non-running/not-running-well 1970s/80s bikes and would like some opinions on what basic tools would be needed to be successful. As soon as I close the deal, I'll find a bike-specific manual and buy a set of torque wrenches. What else might be helpful knowing that I'll be working on carburetors, chains, clutches, brakes, etc....? Thanks in advance.

In line with #10, I haven't earned the right to have an opinion on that one. Blosser, nice find.

Me too

I believe the increase was CAUSED by Chevvy's thread. I demand an infection!

Pilot i71 north of Columbus $3.63 at 8:15am. $3.99 now. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

I was thoughtful about my initial wording for Just that reason. Drawing a weapon and using it/not using it would have legal consequences and it is unclear to me where the law would stand. I'm not going to be hit with a tire iron from someone approaching me from the front....ever.

Now that's a gangsta scoot!!!
