When I went from the Z1000 to the Super Tenere, I changed because of knee problems but the upright seating position of the Tenere (and the Z1000 was not too leaned over) really took a load off my hands, wrists and shoulders - especially on long rides. I didn't really notice how much it was until I changed.

Didn't know her but RIP to a fellow rider

I got Grip Buddies and they helped with fatigue as well since it makes the diameter larger so you tend to not grip as tight. http://www.originalbeemerbuddies.com/ *EDIT* I see I missed similar advice above ^^^

Life happens.

Looks like I'm free this day...maybe we can get a group to meetup? Who else has interest?

Welcome! That's a powerful bike for a newb so be careful and let the tires warm up in this chilly weather because getting on it.

Makes you one hell of a lover

I heard an ad for this today: https://www.inspiresleep.com I know lots of people have issues wearing a CPAP mask and it makes camping and sleeping where there's no reliable power very difficult. This could be a viable alternative. I don't know anything more that what's on the site but am going to look into it.

FYI - should be well clear by then but... http://www.cincinnati.com/story/travel/nation-now/2016/02/27/interstate-75-closed/81031506/

There was a want ad hidden in the funny pictures thread... Technically I shouldn't poke fun...I'm a mod on another forum and have been on several others previously.

Hey, that looks nice...saving up my singles.

I had our HVAC serviced last week and the technician told the that Carrier is moving their manufacturing to Mexico to remain competitve

When the economy took a dump, a lot of construction guys were laid off or forced to find other work because demand dried up and they never came back to it. We built our house a little over 2 years ago and it was very evident then when we talked to the workers. It's a shame it hasn't recovered and that's trade with a lot of trade based jobs. There's such a push for higher education to "get a good job" that fewer and fewer are attending vocational schools. Good welders are gold right now.

Sorry I let everyone down

We need a Yin mod now to offset your yang

Make a sticky mr moderator

There are a lot of people who don't want to work hard...regardless of the payoff. There are a lot of (not all, mind you) young people nowadays that feel entitled to be sitting in the boss's chair about 6 months into their career. I've interviewed them. My wife has interviewed them. they know everything and feel like they'll have your job in no time. Honestly, i grew up with nothing. Neither of my parents graduated high school and eked a living but we did OK. My dad grew up in a house with a literal dirt floor. I got married really young (19) and had a kid (bad decision). At the time, I had to drop out of college and work 2 jobs. We were on govt' assistance for 6 months. I had no family with money to help out so we were on our own. It was incredibly embarrassing for me and I busted ass and sacrificed to get out of that situation. I was (and still am) ashamed to admit it. Eventually got back in school, got my degree, worked my way up (there's a divorce in there somewhere). My current wife and I live very comfortably because we worked hard and sacrificed early on. We were lucky not to have major health issues or other catastrophes to derail us. Not everyone who sacrifices and tries hard succeeds and not everyone who needs help isn't a lazy bum. Shit happens. Help is there for hose who need it and I am proof of that. Unfortunately, many seem to abuse it these days. There's little or no shame in sponging off the government/others anymore...it's a way of life for many and they make no effort to better themselves and don't give a damn. Those are the people I resent. Everyone who works hard and follows the rules should resent them. Reform should happen to mitigate this...but it won't happen. I guess I'm rambling.

Sounds about right

I often ask those that are demonstrative about their party affiliation to define exactly what their label (repub or democrat) means and how it's different than the other. I have yet to meet someone that can articulate it.

Obamacare is the epitome of good intentions being the paved road to hell. I think everyone agrees the government is whack...all driven by special and self interests. People are fed up...as evidenced by the success of Trump thus far though the jury is largely out that he'll be any better and/or able to effect positive change. I'm not sold.

Kewl...on my calendar

You say that like it's uncommon...BTW, that worked for me.

I did this and I still see the RSS feeds.
