Pokey

Thanks for the clarification, although I am pretty much against pushing "any religion" or doing missionary type work, people who need help need "real help" and not some God loves you and has a plan for you kind of BS. As for police, I am all for them wearing body cameras, whatever it takes to both convict them if overstepping their bounds or to exonerate them when it most certainly warrants it. The vid you posted was the one I watched, I reckon you need to do whatever makes you happy and to try and make a difference.

Messing with people who are minding their own business, and who believe you are actually giving them money......not cool dude. For those here who are confused, I am referring to one of his youtube vids. So what the hell is a "motovloger" anyways, do you do this for attention, kind of like recording encounters with law enforcement and basically harassing them?

I will be down there "at Ironhorse" May 12th-15th, unfortunate I can't make it back down for this.

They are well worth the money, but yeah sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I am trying to get used to the changes, not sure I am quite sold "yet".

My Dad has owned 2 Honda Odyssey vans, and I am just so impressed overall with that platform. "They are the cool vans to own", are so damn versatile, and handle/ride so well it is just ridiculous. They have many trim levels so you don't have to get the all leather mac daddy version, I would be hardpressed to not buy one were I looking, and I don't even have any little kids.

The tank bag system of quick connect/disconnect is the brilliant way to go. Both Givi and Motech have this system, it is amazing and works so well.

I will ask Glen, he might be interested and he has a big melon.

Have shoulder "surgery" and report back with how that goes, the rehab and recovery time is insane. I really jacked up my shoulder, full surface tears of my rotator cuff and labrum, tore my bicep, had bone spurs......yup it was pure hell for a very long time, worst pain I have ever had and it was relentless. Shame you did not keep up with your PT on your shoulder, you likely would have not lost any strength and recovered well. Did you ever have knee surgery, wonder why your knee keeps dislocating?

I really messed my left knee up back in 88, full surface ACL tear. Be glad if you only ever get a knee injury, as a serious shoulder injury will trump almost anything "trust me".

How/when was he accidentally shot?

That and all participants involved get the same amount of money to campaign with, no advantages for anyone whatsoever. Problem is that both parties are so in bed and owe favors to many enemies of this country, until we can get that under control NOTHING is going to change.

Bring back the Whig party, add in the Tea party.....things would get interesting. There has to be equality all around, no special interests and no lobbying..........equal playing field "period". Then the American people really do have a say and a voice, and yes term limits all around must be implemented. I also feel that once a career politician is a civilian, they no longer get the perks and freebies of being a freeloading government employee........they get to be a regular Joe like the rest of us.

Sure looks like you have that powder coating thing down bud.

Beware of black ice and random ice patches, that is what terrifies me in the Winter.

Its an Aprilia.......

Pretty much mirrors what my Wife and I do Jim, and once the house was paid off......oh what a great feeling.

DO NOT start your bike unless you are gonna ride it, no good comes from doing such a thing.

Latest Multistrada models........end of search.

Citizen makes real world high end watches, they are no joke. Love my G-Shocks but will likely have a citizen in the near future.

Well shit....shame on them for doing what too many "American" companies are doing. Well looks like I will go with the Darien pants now, as they are made in the USA.

Nothing at the Pony can come close, plus anything else will likely had been made in a sweat shop over seas. You ride a lot and ride in all conditions, premium gear is well worth it and I will never personally go the cheaper route ever again. Aerostich, Rev-IT, Klim, BMW, Roadcrafter......just a few that are legendary for longevity and performance for good reasons. My AD-1 pants are getting ordered soon, I have gone through 4 pairs of riding pants in less than 10 years, time for me to go the high end route for a change. Hope you end up doing what makes you happy and makes the most sense Tim.

They do alterations and additions, yet another reason why they are so great to deal with. Give them a call after the holidays, I am sure they will get you all fixed up.

You always order Aerostitch in what you would normally wear in jeans, at least that is the consensus for the majority of people.

.40 is a snappy bitch, but .45 is more like a nice push which I personally find to be quite pleasant and easy to keep on target for follow up shots.
