  1. It's easy enough to walk into Vance and buy 1000rds bulk, but if this happens I bet prices will go up because they don't have to compete with whatever random remote shop has an internet special this week. I bet every state is all for this just to collect more sales tax. I heard not everybody accurately tracks their out-of-state purchases for reporting on their state return, believe it or not. And what good is it to report bulk purchases? They gonna knock on doors and ask if you are planning a shooting spree? "Yeah, we saw that guy ordered 1000rds of ammo before he shot up that place, but when we knocked on his door last week he said he wasn't planning anything sinister." I also saw this on semi-mainstream news. Would be an excuse to stock up if prices weren't already election-inflated.
  2. 6 of 12 in my class had never ridden at all. The class is geared toward that.

    Career Path

    Don't waste your time with the tech school. You should line up an entry-level engineering position straight out of school. Better yet a co-op while you're still in school. If you have SAE Formula or Baja type stuff at your school you should be doing that.
  4. Shoulda said, "My buddy just called, said he was in this area and needed a lift ASAP."
  5. Agreed. That's why I opened this thread - the title misled me to think something new was happening.
  6. Good thing silencers are on the NFA list, or the streets would be rivers of blood.
  7. I know exactly how you feel having caught some presidential motorcades on my commute home from downtown back in the day. Next time get a cardboard tube like plotter paper comes in and run out on one of the bridges. I'll give you rep I promise.
  8. Exactly what that guy is saying as he proudly shows off the rash on his shoulder at the next bar. P.S. For as little as I use rep, apparently I can't give you anymore.
  9. Stationary bike, I adjust the seat so my legs are at more of an angle. Any sort of heavy weight lifting is probably counter-productive.
  10. Saw PSA had a "daily deal" on mags and remembered this thread - did these ever come through?
  11. As for frame size I prefer a smaller bike. Mine is a 17, which I'm sure if you look at proper sizing is way too small for me. I don't really see what difference it makes, I pretty much ride it like a BMX bike. I run the seat way low too. Mostly so it doesn't get in my way, but it also seemed that pedaling with my legs bent was excellent quad excercise for the transitions that I found so fatiguing on the sportbike. I'm sure that's a dumb idea too.
  12. Road biking has no appeal to me whatsoever. Mountain biking is only really "feesible" when the trails are dry, when they were wet I used to ride Metroparks path for excercise, specifically some sections in Berea that weren't so straight and boring. Now I got a kickass recumbent stationary with a TV in front of it though. You pretty much need a fork. It's crucial in maintaining control over tree roots and stuff, and the smallest amount of cushion is a huge relief to your wrists. I actually prefer a hardtail. I wear long sleeve T, jeans and skate shoes. And an MX helmet and gloves. And a Camelbak. I'm there for the excercise not to win a race. I also don't need a bunch of little cuts and scrapes to show off to my gnar bicycle buddies. As for shorts, I don't think they're necessary for the short loop offroad I usually do, as I don't actually sit down much unless I'm exhausted. Sometimes my junk finds its way out of my boxers and chafes on the inside of my jeans when I pedal though, that's kinda annoying. I used to ride Huffman Park in Medina (~2mi beginner to intermediate loop), Reagan Park in Medina (~4.7mi intermediate to advanced loop) and Findlay State Park in Wellington (~8mi intermediate loop). Maybe there's more since then, go to www.camba.us For MTB she would have to be semi-athletic and somewhat adventurous. I took a buddy once who made a brilliant observation, "This takes a combination of skill and stamina. If you are lacking in one, you can make up for it with the other. I have neither, this is not fun and I never want to do it again. What's the easiest way back to the parking lot?" Anyhow, all the above is IMHO, and I'm sure eventually some pro MTBer will be along to tell you I'm an idiot. Which I am. I've done alot of things in my life, and every one of them half-ass.

    Really?

    Just wanted to see what "Columbus Racing" was all about, but I'm over it already.
  14. I was ROFL when Ford devastated GM at the LA auto show by announcing GT500 numbers two hours after GM introduced the ZL1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eeplOPqdyA
  15. There are a couple indoor places in Cincinnati. Wish Speeds was still in Columbus. Beaver would be much more gooder.
  16. Turned on R&R just to see what it was that I got -rep for. Turning back off again. Whoever is racing... 06-06-2012 06:25 PM SWing'R ass
  17. Saw some of those conversions in the vendor area at the Power Tour and they looked pretty cheesy - not sure how many people do them and if some are better than others. Just when you thought the new Camaro couldn't get any lamer, someone goes and dresses it up like a Pontiac. (I'm a Mustang guy now).
  18. Is it one pump or multiple? How accurate can that scope be if the barrel breaks like that?
  19. Todd, Please stop tainting the internet with actual experience. It disrupts the peaceful flow of hearsay and speculation. Thank you,
  20. You got me excited that I might actually be able to buy those.
