  1. Perfect bike for a beginner rider though.
  2. Not sure yet Brian I just glanced at my packet the other day is all, many are bitching about the changes though.
  3. The cheap ole Vstrom is great for that too.
  4. They are great bikes, cannot win MOTY and not be a good machine.
  5. California and NY have other problems, and they treat people like they are adolescent children. They are far from the perfect posterchild for how this country should be, and I do not see universal single payer healthcare as socialism "if done correctly". We are being robbed and snowballed by the insurance companies, they are the ones that need to cease to exist IMHO. My employer provided insurance premiums just went up, and I for one am not happy about it at all. Matter of fact it has now been broken down into bronze/silver/gold/platinum plans.....sound familiar?
  6. Buddy of mine bought a new Versys last Spring, and the IP gave him one heck of a deal.....beat everybody he had dealt with.
  7. I am happy happy happy with myself and my life, I am not miserable and fighting personal demons like you seem to assume. Man is gonna have an answer for everything, and I am just not buying into allot of it, just like you don't buy into the Bible and the sky fairy. The Bible to me is not a book of lies and deceit of man, to me it is just the total opposite. Believe as you may and live as you wish, but how I live my life and choose to believe in my existence is not hurting a single person either. Plenty of bad people have existed and done horrible things without being tied to any religious belief, so all things bad cannot be tied to religions. I have no inner struggles, and I have sadness for those that do. Yeah I think this country is going to hell in a handbasket, but that is the only gloom and doom that I fear. I believe there are unsolvable mysteries given to us for a reason, and it drives man crazy trying to figure it out. I am far from a robot or a sheep, and I have no fear of what will happen to me once I die. Such a morbid thought to believe we are born only to die and that is THE END, I refuse to believe it is over once we die. Man is not as smart as he thinks he is.
  8. Well of course evolution exists, I never said it did not. Everything has evolved/evolves/adapts in some form, but not to the extremes and understandings that man would like to so prove and believe. But it cannot in my mind in any way be the begin all and end all of us and everything else "things are just too perfect" contrary to what you believe. Religion has never "ruled the world" yes the Native Americans and countless other civilizations throughout history have had belief systems and worshiped something or some entity, but the qwest for knowledge of science and technology has also been there, but man will "NEVER" have many of the answers they so desperately seek. I love Science and history and "knowledge" we are nothing without any of it, but man has limits. I do not put my faith and trust in man, because man has proven to fail time and time again. God or the great sky fairy has not failed man, but having a choice is quite the burden to bear. It is in our nature to destroy ourselves, this planet and everything on it was a gift that we have squandered. The Bible and the Christian Faith is just not as cut and dry to me as it is to others, no doubt that many are very wrong with and in how they interpret the Bible or attempt to understand God. Once again that is the way of man, to make and change things as they see fit for them to try and make sense of things, and to help them live with themselves for the choices they make or don't make. There is no correct mold for a Christian, there are just too many layers. God and his ways are so complex that we cannot possibly comprehend "go ahead and laugh" and the unexplained cannot be explained to us "yet". I have no worries, I figure I am covered either way when my time here is done. I was born a sinner and I will die a sinner.
  9. And the exact same can be said for what you believe as well.....basically that we "and everything that exists everywhere" all just evolved, developed and came to be from a big bang over billions of years. Not everything can be explained by logic and proved with science, man is not all knowing for a reason. Extremely gifted,intelligent, wise, brilliant and open minded people believe both ways, yet many will be wrong nonetheless.
  10. That looks like a fun machine!!!!
  11. Never over for me, it just slows down a bit is all.
  12. They were both wrong, lets just leave it at that.
  13. Poor defenseless little girls........
  14. I have been to my fair share of college football games, and you might see some students getting rowdy at times but its not common to see middle age men and women acting like total drunken buffoons. I have a hard time cheering on multi multi millionaires that most won't have a dime to their name not long after they retire, I guess I am not much of a fan of the majority of pro sports.
  15. Pretty safe bet that the majority of adults at most NFL games are inebriated. I am also of the belief that if you are prepared to throw a punch "no matter who you are or what your gender" you had better be ready for a reaction to your action. The little blonde bitch hit him not believing for 1 second that he would return the favor, and that is why she did it.....that and alcohol of course. I loathe NFL games, so many drunken total asshole immature idiots that give the good fans a bad name. Not the best place to take your kids to a game, best bet would be an OSU home game or the likes.
  16. "The victims have said they consider it an accident and have no hard feelings against Daymon." I would love to hear them say that publicly, bet they would whistle a different tune. I must say that I typically have always sided on the side of law enforcement on most things and situations, but here lately I swear they are immune from almost anything.
  17. Calling them boring is anything but true, and the designs and changes of the recent models are quite nice. Considering the vehicles you drive/ride and own, beauty is obviously in the eyes of the beholder.
  18. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about concerning Subarus.
  19. A brand spanking new Voyager.
  20. The plastic surgeon did pretty nice work on those.
  21. I have these on my Impreza and they are amazing handling on wet and dry, they are also claimed to be very good in snow as well. The ride is so quiet compared to what I had it is night and day difference, I will continue to buy these whatever the model changes become. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findTireDetail.do?c=2&rcz=43082&ar=50&rf=true&rd=17&rc=OHCINT&cs=205&dVeh=dVeh&ra=searchForMostPopularTires.do&fl=&tc=YOKHVZ&yr=2011&pc=43516&vid=018806 Oh.....and a Subaru with proper tires will embarrass practically anything else in the snow, and the way they handle is just insane.
