That whole vintage thing just eludes me. I must not have antique genes. Technology marches on & that's fine by me. To each his own.
what you may think is new is sometimes old technology just being re-released. And some old technology will just blow the sidecovers off some of the newer machines. A prime example is my 1983 Vf1100C V65 Magna. One of the first 10sec 1/4 milers with some very advanced tech on it. Still scares the hell out of me when I crack wide open the throttle in any of the first 4 gears. I either am looking at the sky or smoking the rear rubber.

Hey Guys....Thanks for the pics.....I appreciate it......looks like they had a nice selection of bikes there this year.

I have nothing against Glocks ! Except their size and price. They do everything OK and nothing really Bad. They don't Excel at anything, yet they don't make the bottom of the list on anything. To me they are a good middle of the road gun. BUT.... I do think they are oversized. I thought that the G42 would make a great edc for my sister, but it is so big compared to the LCP. Price is like the gun...larger than the LCP also. I originally was going to get the G36 for myself, but ended up with the Springfield XDs for the same reasons. But Glocks are here to stay and they have a large following for sure....but so does the iphone...... which I would trade in a heartbeat for the Samsung S5 any day of the week.

Very interesting....but I am not sure that it should have all that motor noise. Other than that, look like about the average "1st" flight. if not even a little better since no crash involved.

BUMMER....not going to be able to make the show or the party this year. Could someone that is going do me a big favor and stop by the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club (VJMC) display and take some pictures of their bikes and display for me. I would totally appreciate it ....and for those that are going to make the after party....all I have to say to you folks is..........P A R T Y ON G A R T H ! ! !

Are you using DJI Vision Ground Station and if so, have you flown in total autonomous mode yet or are you just using LOS control?
-
I have a phantom vision+ v3 and its a blast. Love the FPV. Like everything else I own its been modified after having it a week
Just curious as to what you have done to modify it. Have you checked what your maximum range is yet?

Stopping Power.....Yeah, I guess everyone has bought into that philosophy at some point and I will even admit that I find myself falling back into that thought process once in awhile. It isn’t the size of the gun/ammo that puts the perp down, but the shot placement. You can put 6-7 rounds of 45 talons into a persons midsection and they can still end up killing you. Unless you hit the vital organs or major arteries/veins it don’t matter what caliber pistol you have. Perfect example is a State Patrol officer putting six 357 Magnums point blank into a heavy set fellow (fat) and the guy shooting one 22 magnum at the officer hitting him in the shoulder patch which then went into him between his armor and severed a major artery and the cop bleed out at the scene . 22 won over 357 Magnum.

Went & saw it tonight. Thought that it was a very well made movie. but as I left the show, what was going through my mind were three or four questions....who was the marine that shot him...what was his motive for the shooting...what happened to him ....and finally, did that episode of his shooting the other sniper actually take place as portrayed in the movie.

Got it a few days ago. Setup the biometric. Seemed fairly reliable. Until tonight. Went outside to smoke a cigar. 20 sumn degrees out. Tried safe when I came back in. Nada. Wouldn't open after at least half a dozen attempts. Put finger under armpit to warm it up thinking maybe it was a temperature thing. Still no open. Finally washed my hands in hot water. Worked. So either it's a temp thing or it doesn't like tobacco smell on the fingers. Either way it's not reassuring if this were a real SHTF scenario.
"I miss America"
I think someone warned everyone about NOT getting the Bio one..I have NEVER liked them.... just give me the push button and in I am.

yea, like the guy who sold his girlfriends mattress & box spring with her cat hiding in the box spring. lol
-
Now what I would like is a cabinet like that but with a gunvault keypad on the back(hidden) so that is is still quick access yet secure.
-
or hire some ganga'strs to protect your crib

And it has nothing to do with the fact he is Muslim either. One of my local dept.’s posted this on their FB page. It is a shame that the mainstream media won’t run this kind of story but the will make every one of these people who get shot the victim of another cop shooting.
-
Whatever. Each to his own. I'll keep my gunvault that holds a ready to go 45(*) + extra mags and high intensity flashlight while you fumble for the key and hopefully insert it and unlock your drawer and then retrieve your gun. I sure hope that you don't drop it in the dark and then have to fumble around to find it. Adrenalin flowing you will find that handling that key will not be as easy as you think it will. It is obvious you have never had a break-in. I have and at that time I did not have a weapon close at hand. Our only saving grace was that they didn't come upstairs where we were sleeping. Since then, I have had a alarm system installed, and I have the gun close at hand (safely locked in the vault which is bolted down) and have practiced middle of the night access of all.
(*) XDs 45 with Tru-Glow Tritium Night sights and Crimson Trace Laser, loaded with Black Talons.

If you can't handle a key in the dark, what logic says you should be handling a loaded firearm?
seriously ! i hope not. please tell me that was satire.
-
only problem i see with those is you have to use a key to unlock it. I can just see myself fumbling with a key in the dark trying to unlock it to get to the gun. there are some nice hidden gunsafes out there but i have yet to find one that will give you quick access like the gunvaults do and still be a piece of nice furniture.

I got this and use it for both my Ruger LC9s and my Springfield XDs 45 ! ! ! Great little holster and I offered $18 on the make offer and they accepted it ...free ship....how can you go wrong on that?

For those of you that use a safe, surely you have a round in the chamber ready to go?
Absolutely ! Anything other would be really really dumb ! At least for me and my situation. For some, having to rack it to put one in the tube works for them. For others, having to slam a mag up and then rack it is their idea of safe. Might as well keep the unloaded mags away from the gun....load the mag, slam it up and then rack it after retrieving everything from the gun safe in the closet. jeeze, why even have one in the house...oh yea, just ask the intruder to wait a moment while you get your gun. I sure they would be understanding and oblige you.

I don't even remember being in a chapter. I just remember getting my patch and certificate that said I was accepted into the Eagle Scouts in the arrowhead division of the BSA. Amd that was it, I stuck around for a another year or so helping the younger ones till I started working full time at 17 and couldn't attend anymore due to time restraints. My mom still has all my stuff stored away somewhere, she keeps asking if I want it and I tell her I'm sure it's safe where ever you have it.
It is a fraternity just like others at colleges. You are not automatically a member just by getting your eagle badge. It was founded in Dayton at the University back about 1999 which was 33 yrs after I got my eagle.
