Okay, looks like they're coming back. http://tinyurl.com/7wkc9ex

Versys or SV for commuting, though I don't know your route (curves, slab, two-lane, whatever).

Who uses CB's? Every truck driver I see has a cell phone plastered to his/ her ear, or is weaving down the highway texting. Yeah, I associate CB's with truckers.

No news stories of face-eatings for the last couple of days. Maybe its just too hot for zombies to roam....

Head to your local Apple store?? Dunno, I don't own anything Apple. We've replaced my daughters Ipod Touch (or ITouch, or whatever) screen a few times. Kits on ebay. First time was kind of trying, but now she does it herself.

Did it. Done. Sleep tight.

"Nobody died. Keep the party going! See ya'll later..."

KTM Brian may remember this. Many years ago, a bunch of us were in St Louis for a WERA race at Gateway. We crammed eight or so of us into a hotel room one night. One of the guys (Joey) had a toothless, deaf dalmation with him (too much inbreeding, I was told). I tried to get up to pee in the middle of the night, and the dog wouldn't let me past him to get to the bathroom. I held it until morning. Same dog tried to bite my wife at Putnam during her first pregnancy. "Dog touches me, I'll kill it", which was funny because she doesn't have a violent bone in her body, and we weren't sure how she was gonna do it. Pregnant woman vs. deaf, toothless dog. Ahhh yeah, good memories....

Slacker here.

The news said he was an "avid swimmer". I swear there was a story a couple of years ago about him being bankrupt... but didn't find one.

My inlaws had one of the traditional style "big" farm-style mailboxes (about 2x as big as a regular mailbox) and had the little "regular" traditional style inside of it, encased in concrete. Mounted on a 3" steel pole. Been fine for 20+ years. Imagine that.

Got to watch it with multiple interruptions from all family members. And no beer in my hand. I didn't hear the commentator say that. IIRC, I THOUGHT he said it, but replayed the line in my head and it was something else. Gonna have to watch it again. After everyone else goes to bed. With a beer in my hand.

I think thats great advice. Holy cow, its a novice bike in LW twins with an old guy riding it. Not like I'm going for a championship... Thx all.

No need to apologize or clarify. Life changes, dog has to find a new home, has some money-consuming medical problems which may get worse. If no new home, dog will have to be put-down. Anyone want it? If not, move on to the next post. If you want it, drop the OP a line.

On Speed.

Gold salesman called me this afternoon, said that we're at the end of a bull market, and everything is about to crash, so I should pull stocks (if I have any) and invest in metals. Gave me www.businesscycle.com www.demonocracy.com and told me to google "tony robbins dire wakeup warning". I think I just saw a piece of the sky falling outside my window.

Save your money. I'll come pour gasoline down your gullet then fart in your face. Oh yeah, I couldn't find the glazed donut 360 today. But I'm gonna keep trying.

My kids see riders on the street without lids and say "No helmet". I say that at least they have that right, even though it may not be the one I choose. Too much gubberment. I see riders with shorts, flip-flops, and sunglasses, and shake my head, but I USED TO BE THAT GUY. Lots of times. That was a long time ago, but at least I had the right to make that decision. I sort of agree with the Euro model of testing up to bigger bikes, but completely disagree with the aspect that we need government giving us more rules. I'm an adult. I'm an American. I pay my insurance premiums (health, life, and vehicles). I'm responsible, and I realize that I risk my life/ health/ livelihood every time I ride (and most of the time when I don't). I want the freedom to make my own decisions. That doesn't make me equal to a struck deer lying on the side of the road. I'm not forfeiting my rights, nor the services that my taxes pay-for by going for a ride.

I've got the itch to go racing again. Looking at a salvage street bike, but would like to have the frame checked. Is there anywhere near Cinti, or even in Ohio, that can do this? If I were to do it myself, hillbilly-style with a tape measure from points X to points Y, what would be good to measure? Front end damage (fairing, "needs new forks" which would matter as I'd be swapping on a whole different front end, etc. Looks like it got most of the damage on the left side). Its an 03-04 SV650 TIA Jeff

On a seriouse note, with the house being five years old, and with builders putting the cheapest everything that they can in a house (my house is 8 years old), things will start breaking at 7-8 years. Dishwasher. Water heater. Mounted microwave. My next house will be a rock-solid 1960s brick ranch.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Found on local CL, seemed like okay deals, figured someone may be interested. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/3071897068.html http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/3043335107.html

See #4 above. "Extra money"???

Don't worry about it. You're gonna have to sell the bike to pay for the house, or something in the house. Or something on the exterior of the house. Or a new kitchen. Or new appliances (stainless of course). Or carpet. Or ceiling fans. Or basement repairs after the sump pump goes out. Or a new central air unit, or maybe the whole HVAC system. Especially if GF becomes wife.
