^ This. Not mentioned in this article, but mentioned in others, is the fact that the gravitational field is twice that of earth. So it may be fine for smaller creatures like microscopic organisms, and maybe smaller insects, human life has no shot. If you weigh 200 pounds, try loading up a bar with 200 pounds and walk around with it on your shoulders all day. Babies would be four years old and look like Arnold before they could stand.

Most people move away and never come back. Welcome home!

I didn't see anything but it screwed up traffic so bad for both of the Browns pre-season games, that I hope they finish up and open up the streets soon. When the regular season starts, they better be done or I'm taking the train.

Buyers are just as bad. I listed my CVO softtail convertible for $2000 below blue book and guys were offering $10,000 below asking price.

Like anyone would sell it to someone for less than they could wholesale it for to a dealer. Dumb.

Continental has red eye flights leaving at about 11:30 at night from Las Vegas to Cleveland. Have someone pick you up and try to get some sleep on the flight.

If you can, catch a small commuter flight on Mesa out of Roswell to Vegas. You will have to check on that schedule, but it beats the 3 hour drive to ABQ.

The first time I rode a triple was at Nelson on Saturday. It was a 675 Daytona, and what a difference from the R6. The power delivery was so even through the whole rev range, compared to the R6 which was a dog until you got above about 8,000 rpm. And that shift assist....ahhhhh......very nice item!

I was surprised at the number of wrecks on Saturday. Must have been the heat/dehydration or something, even in white leathers I was sweating my ass off. First time on that track for me and yea, its not pretty but still a lot of fun. I'll be going back out there for sure. The practice starts at the end were a riot!

I test rode that 1000RR. If that's ghey, then I will be a 180hp, quick shiften, traction control riding gheyboy any day!

Welcome dude.

I will be there too. Would like to finally meet some of you guys, and try out my Yamaha Champions Riding School skill set, for the first time.

If you are going through NY, stop in Rochester at the Dinosaur. Best BBQ you will find and its very biker friendly, even for sportbikes.

I bet if he had a do over, he would choose the helmet.

you talking about the lady in the office? because she hooked me up with my car loan for my first car and got me a sick deal on it, like half of what other banks were wanting.

and i like how your location says cleveland, get tired of explaining to people where lagrange is? lol

Exactly dude! You say LaGrange and people think you live on the south side of Chicago. Cleveland is just easier. And yes, that is the lady. She seems happy to see a new face walk into her office once in a while.

I'm in LaGrange and have always used the Lorain Bank right there by the IGA. Lady always hooks me up for like a dollar or something. She will notarize anything.

Jeez, I have a limit of two imposed by the spousal unit. One is one year old, the other is six. Both will get new owners this year if I can help it. Anybody want a gently used Harley?

Welcome to the site!

I went to Fatheads yesterday. Fried perogie appetizer is highly recommended. Moosehead saloon is also a very good place for burgers. They just built a new one in the old firehouse along the river in Olmstead Falls. Not too far from where you will be.

Wow. Some things you just can't unsee.

The last bike I sold, I wouldn't let the guy take a test ride, but I gave him a 15 minute money back guarantee. Bring it back within 15 minutes, undamaged and I would give him his money back. He seemed satisfied with that, and I never saw the guy again.

Welcome dude! When I get around to getting out to the track maybe we can meet up. I am hoping for Mid-Ohio in July.

Head on over to bobistheoilguy.com and you can talk motor oil for years on end. Bikes, cars, leaf blowers....whatever. Be prepared to fall asleep at your keyboard though.

That just bugs the shit out of me...

My dad is looking at a touring bike to his stable. Concourse, FJR or the ST1300. Anyways a salesman at a dealership was saying that one of the bikes side luggage bags wouldnt hold a helmet. My dad and I looked at each other and said shouldnt you be wearing the helmet??? The salesman (early 20's) replies "well if its a hot day and your cruising around you may not want to". I just rolled my eyes and walked away.

That salesman is an idiot. And my FJR bags hold my size large Arai's, which is nice when you park the bike at a restaurant or something and don't have to carry your helmets around.

Sorry for the off topic but what a stupid sales guy.

I am reading Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatch right now. I figured I better since I am going out to his riding school in Utah next month. Totally forgot my bike had ABS until I was out practicing some braking techniques yesterday. Pretty good stuff.

Looks like the Philly cops had that video pulled. I couldn't see it.
