    I do enjoy flying..

    Uuhhh, thats not the way to really enjoy flying - 'please return your traytable and backboard to its upright position' j/k man.....glad you're ok......you are ok, right?
  2. Thats fucking silly.......even for an American made product. Ball bearing drawers and a bit heavier ga. steel aside, thats some obnoxious money for a damn cart:nono:
  3. knew you were kiddin', I'm not a big fan of quads either......they eventually rut the hell out of fun trails, and if its wet/muddy the 2wheel guys end up soaked and sore from endless cross rutted dumps:angry:
  4. I'm sure the Progressive springs will be an improvement over OE, especially when they're sprung for us larger guys - but for over 20 yrs my Dad boasted Progressive were the hot ticket on touring bikes ( he's had them in a Venture, a big Shadow, and a Goldwing ) but for offroad, they probably wont be of equal comparison since front end feedback/traction demands vary considerably in the dirt vs street. Still awesome to get a free upgrade!!
  5. Uh oh, guess he should move into Larry's tent then:D
  6. Thats "Buds"!! Guys at work LOVE that place -- Good luck banning quads out of there! Its a 4 wheel festival through most of the spring/summer/fall from what I'm told. Good family to know and its quite a big spread too
  7. Congrats! Glad you already got the RC or you'd probably be waiting another decade:D
  8. Nice, and I seen a little backin' in a few turns But lots of wheelie battling like you said......power is definitely there!
  9. ^^^ No doubt.......does Craftsman think they're SnapOn or Mac now? Their pricing has been driven up over the last 10 yrs especially, I just dont see it in their quality.......This cart is worth $99 but Craftsman is probably asking $179 and the same thing SnapOn's getting $299 for!
  10. That's respect right there......Subi wagon in the yard so the bike gets the WHOLE driveway.......well done

  13. Back in '89/'90 when I was working in home audio, it was all about Bose and Onkyo - been out of that game since then but still own my Techniques prologic components that work great to this day - Was no guru back then and I'm still far from saavy, but I've been involved with guitar equip these last 20 yrs and home audio amps should be rated the same as instrument amps - I use a Line6 100w tube amp for my stage gear, but have played through a 20w Orange amp that blew mine to dust......huge difference with class A amps vs. the rest. Big bucks for sure, but seems we used get what we paid for though:( Todays market just wants more money for R&D work and technological advancements, but give us junk internals/components......its a lose, win, lose??
  14. Awesome weekends with my cousins spent crushing 2-liters of JOLT cola, rewinding our JX-7's and 440X2's, racing 3 different tracks that filled the bedrooms upstairs while running room to room like a pack of tweekin' crackhounds!!:lol: Oh yes, had this little rifle range but didnt work like we "thought" it should so the gun ended up an outdoor "war" toy:D Sweet fun! I had 2 of these and they'd haul ass across the carpet until the collected hairball wrapped the rear wheel up tight......then it was 'Mom! This is broken....' I played with model rockets quite a bit and 'devised' my own from a flashlight tube and a D-sized engine, but like you I didnt worry about a parachute - instead we crammed a roman candle in it with the report charge placed against the fuse......it blew up in 6 different colors:D
