  1. You can easily get 3k for it if your patient. All the "upgrades" people say dont add value or how your scratched fairings take away from the value generally dont matter or are something a first time rider with no experience will not care about. Some newer riders will actually view the add ons as a bonus. Its a used bike, not a show bike, not a new bike, so it will likely not be perfect if it has been ridden.

  2. Wait, what? Youre going to PIRC and been icing me all season? I hate you right now, and no BJs for you on the way to jennings this season. There I said it, maybe a few HJs but that's it. I am drawing the line.

    Yeah there is a food truck but rumor was it was expensive and greasy.

    I need to get another day in and mid Ohio fell thru cuz of weather and this doesn't look much better but oh well.

    I'm gonna be lonely in the backseat again :(

  3. Just do it guys, I was on the fence too and Nick talked me into it. Even if you want to wait until next season to race get the school out of the way and then you can run an early season race next year and rock the season out.

    If you do maybe I will treat each of you to a free HJ, and if you do as Jinu says and just run balls deep from the greenflag on, you may even get a ZJ.

    Can I have a RJ for not doing any of the above?

  4. Certain sections of p1 are stupid bumpy. I'd love to get a higher end bike but waiting to see if I ride enough to justify it.

    Thinking of trying chestnut tomorrow morning. Last time the derailleur hanger snapped a mile in :(

  5. It would seem that the 18th is a more popular choice... Monday the 17th no good, did I miss something, or is the 18th just an easier date for most?

    I think people generally take 3 day weekends and do Mondays. Hoping Tuesday is empty but either way will be fun.

  6. You are correct. I couldnt remember completely and shouldve double checked.

    Are the sickness funds run as for-profit businesses or nonprofit?

    A.

    They’re all nonprofit companies. There is a separate for-profit industry to which you can belong if your income is above 45,000 euros [about $65,000]. If you’re 33 years old and have a high income, your premium in the private plan is much lower. However, premiums increase with age. And if your income declines, you could be in dire straits. Since 1992, individuals with an income above the threshold who choose to buy private insurance cannot get back into the social insurance system unless they fall below the poverty line. This makes people hesitant to leave the social insurance system.

    Q.

    Is there competition between private and public plans?

    A.

    Yes, there is, but 90 percent of people are in the public plans. There is competition among the sickness funds, too, now that people can choose.

  7. Scruit, you are speaking from my heart.

    I have never had anything to worry about in Germany. (Before you all start, the military stationed us here, that is why we're here)

    When I was sick, I went to the doctor, I got treated, I got better. Never had to pay a dime, no copay, no deductible, nothing. THAT IS WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR! DUH!

    I don't get this capitalistic way of living.

    And yes, change is so hard. I admit it, I am democratic at heart, because of the country I come from. I do understand what the president is trying to do.

    Another thing I cannot stand here is they way they campaign. It disgusts me! It is lame and the low blow commercials on either side make me wanna puke! They just look ridiculous in my eyes. The way the Repukes were doing jokes about the president is just sad. He is your elected official of this country. How are children supposed to learn respect, if the majority of the adults cannot respect authority????

    THis year is the first year I can vote in this country, but I might choose not to.

    That is something that is different in Germany also, you cannot publicly ruin ones reputation. It is not allowed. All they do is tell the public what they will change and how they will do it. (something you don't hear here either)

    How come the majority of people in Germany who qualify for private insurance opt of the public system if it is so good?
