Pokey

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.

Always wanted one of those but too cheap to move on from my $20 one

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.

I must have got lucky because I have the opposite experience. I've dislocated my knee three times but luckily never had a full tear of any ligaments and found that far worse than the partial tear of my labrum in my throwing shoulder. Elected for PT instead of surgery which I ended up barely doing. I lost a decent amount of strength and sometimes get pain in it but not as bad as my knee

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?

Do you mean campaign contribution reform?

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.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR ABS...

Its an Aprilia.......

1 account for most of us might be misleading.  We have three, but all three are ours.  Both our paychecks go into one...auto xfer to savings and another checking.  Second checking is home taxes and insurance. Savings is obvious..the first account is for everything else. So our day to day living expenses and hobbies come out of that one joint account.

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.

Got them today, might end up sending them back. Their sizing is way off from what im used to. One size too big in the waist and WAY too long. The problem is if i want to exchange them it will cost me another $110 since i bought these our of their clearance stock.

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.

Quick update...I decided to forego the LCP .380 and hold out for one that fits my hand better.    Although at ~$200, it is a good value, the LCP frame is just too small.

 

Looking at the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield .40 now.

The .40 round is just hype, get the 9mm and you will have just as much damage capability......trust me. Wound ballistics are negligible difference, shot placement is still key over anything else. This is coming from those that know a helluva lot more than I do.
