  1. No, I didn't know that - we will be leaving Columbus early Saturday, spending a few days in Charlotte, then off to Myrtle in the morning, a day of fun, spend night, another day of fun and back to Charlotte, another day or two and come back to Columbus. Whew - that's going to be enough, I think
  2. Glad you're OK....I ride def(off)ensively, but there's no way you can prepare for something that stupid.
  3. So, I'm going to be packing up the kids and heading to Charlotte for a few days in 3 weeks to visit my folks (not taking the 900 - boo) I was thinking I would head out from there to a fun family activity for a couple more days, but I've never done the Myrtle/HH thing. Anybody have other ideas for activities in VA/NC/SC? If I do the Myrtle/HH thing, where should I stay and how much should I expect to spend? Charter a boat for some fishing?
  4. I've heard some complaints about the modular P250 - supposedly, after a change in management. Not sure if that is still the case. http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/4023393.htm And the P226 and P228 slides are stainless, too - but they were initially stamped then milled (9mm) - vs. the milled slide introduced with the P229 (for the higher pressure .40) - now I think they are all milled from a solid chunk.
  5. Should have posted on Friday when everybody had their paychecks burning holes in their pockets ;-p
  6. Emergency Fish pack detonators would probably achieve the same effect
  7. And a No-Mar tire changer mounted in the front?
  8. Not counting military, I commuted from Canton to Mansfield and back everyday for 12 mos.
  9. I just picked up a Ken Onion Blur half serrated on Amazon a few weeks ago and love it. Flip the clip and the speed assist is very intuitive. Not sure why anybody would carry in the knife with the clip in the factory position.
  10. Already said it on FB, but I'll reiterate...Glad you survived. And I say again, buy it back, set it for track and get you a Tuono for the street....or a falco...or an ST4....it's a great feeling burning through some twistys on the way to the grocery store ;-p
  11. What's wrong with an ST4? ;-p Actually, I know a few people who have the new Multistrada 1200's and they insist they are the best do-everything bike ever. Right Hoblick?
  12. Not trying to troll - who uses a GPS now that everybody has a smart phone? I'm not saying that I don't use one - in the last year, I've bought a Garmin and a TomTom - one was $20 and the other was halfway through the garage sale, so it was $12.50. Gave the Garmin to my folks and keep the TomTom in the tank bag, in case I ever need it..haven't yet.
  13. Oh yeah, and unless Jason has fixed the R6, that too....heard you may have an electrical prob?
  14. I've got a he!! of a bike wrenching weekend planned. Thinking about building a table to wrench on, but figured I would pose a question to the group and see if anybody had something I could borrow. Tearing down a Duc SS for powdercoat, tearing down and reassembling an R1 and general wrenching on a Bonnie, so all brands are welcome!
  15. It's only 190 miles out Rt 36 to Indy...loser
  16. Gee, Ryan - My FB comment must have gotten you into a reflective mood.
  17. Great time and nice chatting about the old days...smack Barlow around for not coming, too.
  18. Good times, for sure...glad you could get away for the day and sorry I had to peel early...I made it to Westerville 34 mins sooner than the GPS said I should, though.
