  1. I am looking forward to us all being able to yack it up when we ride together!
  2. I will drive all the way down to Romney Cycles in WV when I make my next purchase.
  3. Just down to the big ole bucket? We can do much better than that Jack, I am thinking more like Marietta and hitting the best roads in the state. I love riding 78 and 83, but we have got to get you out venturing more of what this state has to offer in terms of amazing roads. And go get yourself some better gear that is flexible for the conditions, some heated grips are awfully nice ad cheap too.
  4. What.......you did not even go after all that you contributed to this? You need better gear Jack plain and simple, and those temps were temporary. No excuse's if you plan on attending my rally this year, motorcyclists adjust/overcome/conquer/.....git er done old boy!!!!! On a side note, glad to hear the event was a success and that everyone made it home safely!
  5. There is good riding around the Dayton area?
  6. Beautiful day for a ride, hope everyone stays safe.
  7. I like my boringly reliable Japanese machines, and with all of the many accessories and upgrades available for most models, they can be made to be quite pricey "yet still reliable" by the time the dust settles.
  8. That was always my vote, whether I attended or not.
  9. Magley is like the great Oracle of the forum, possibly of the entire state.
  10. I beg to differ, but I will use several links below to prove my point. And so many things that we are told that have been tested over and over and over and told that are bad for us, are retested over and over and over and then found to magically not be bad for us. Science is not infallible, too many things can have practically infinite ways of changing and or even being perceived differently from one person to another,,,,,,,,,, and can never be fully proven. Here are a few good articles below, check them out and see what you think. And there are those like me, that truly believes that one day each and every one of us is going to find out that we have been very wrong about a great many things. So much of science is very much a belief system, and many scientists are atheist or agnostic because they simply cannot believe anything other than what they think they can prove/disprove or replicate. The existence of God or other heavenly beings can not be proven or denied by science, but yet everyone has faith in one direction or another. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/623043-is-science-a-belief-system/ http://www.adamkemp.newsvine.com/_news/2007/01/09/513465-the-nature-of-science-why-gravity-is-just-a-theory http://www.ted.com/conversations/9998/science_is_a_religion.html http://www.newmediaministries.org/Science/HasScienceProved_S.html
  11. Because they tend to filter a bit better and more effeciently to a point when they slightly start to restrict. I always change my oil filters every other change, and I also drain my oil cold as well. When I do it cold, I find that I tend to always put in what the spec calls for, unlike when I drain with the oil hot. My garage floor is pretty level where I park, and I have a centerstand which I use to measure my oil level. I keep my oil level even with the top line at all times, has served me well on every bike I have ever owned thus far.
  12. You should be a lobbyist, you were born for it.
  13. I call BS on your theory, we waste gasoline the liquid when the vapor is what is the combustible part.........and here is just a few stories which I am sure you will call BS on, but if this is true or could be true, then how could it not be a conspiracy? Not having clean burning diesels here like in Europe is also a crock of crap, but I am sure we will never adopt them like we should. http://futurecreep.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/100-miles-per-gallon-the-great-oil-conspiracy/ http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread539369/pg1
  14. Nope I do not want anything to be ignored, had that happened over history, some wonderful inventions, medical breakthroughs and things that make our lives much easier would have never happened. I truly believe that were world leaders "truly" serious about helping the environment, the ability for combustible engines to achieve insane MPG would have not been put away with all the other X-files that they want to be hushed immediately. Less need for fossil fuels because we would be using less of them, less refining and demand for the fuels, not relying on the middle east for the bulk of our oil "fuck them anyways", and all this would lead to less overall pollution. But money and greed for a select few........and favors we owe to other countries stops all of this cold, and it is such a shame. The USA could pretty much say "sorry everyone, we will do things our way", but we know that is just not going to happen. What allies do we truly need for us to flourish, hell everyone else depends on us to save them and or keep them afloat? I believe that allot of saving our natural resources is within our grasp, but all the idiots in charge will not do it for the greater good of mankind. Man truly is a blight upon this incredible planet, and we are not worthy of even being here on the most perfect "known" planet in our galaxy. Man is capable of truly amazing things, and man is also capable of truly heinous things, unfortunately I see the scale being tipped toward heinous.

    Good News thread:

    Bittersweet that my Son graduates from High School on the 24th and then ships out to Ft Benning "Infantry" June 17th......but I am a very proud Papa none the less. He made this decision roughly 2 years ago much to our surprise, especially after he seemed all set to attend Kent State. Anyways.........we will be empty nesters soon, and I hope to spend some quality time with the Wifey.
  16. Your complete faith and trust in all things concerning the science community is amusing at times. You do realize there are things that man cannot explain, and that undoubtedly drives man insane that they cannot figure it out beyond reasonable doubt? You also hopefully realize that the majority of people are naive about many things, and with the technology of making anything seem real and believable these days, it is no wonder why so many are so easily spoon fed bullshit. This planet is so complex, this universe and beyond is so complex, and all of it is very volatile to changes not easily explained or "proven 100%". For every action there is a reaction, problem lies in that we are not always sure what the ultimate cause for the action is or was. There are more hypothesis and theories then anything else, and that is the stalemate. Earth existed before man, and earth has recycled itself time and time again, we are inevitably about to go through a doomsday phase I fear.......man cannot stop it. There are just too many damn people on this planet, and Earth is going to be reducing those numbers sooner than later.
  17. Buildings are static and do not move, and since the introduction of many bird safe glass and new designs, the window strikes have been massively reduced. The "wind turbines" are not static and they are enormous bird killers. Birds do not fly and navigate solely on line of sight, allot more factors and senses involved with that. So yeah I hate the damn things, I will almost rate them right up there with the whole ethanol scam.
  18. Climate is changing and that is not a hoax, but the "main reasons" we are being led to believe why it is occurring......yeah I am a naysayer and a skeptic to much of that. Mankind is however fully responsible for how messed up many things are, and much of that is occurring right here in this country.
  19. Hate the windmills.......they are hideous, not cost effective, and killing too many birds of prey. Global warming is no hoax and it is happening, but much of the data and facts being crammed down our throats is where the hoax starts and ends. The word "expert" means little these days, the appropriate words that need to be used are CEO's of particular big companies and lobbyists.
  20. Vicodine is for girls, percocet is the narc of choice.
  21. Just follow who has the most money to lose or gain, that is typically where the bullshit starts and ends.
  22. Pretend Hell is sure going to suck for some of you one of these days.
