I saw that, Jerry. I wish I could pop my wishes into a finder and up would come a list of bikes fitting those wishes. As Brian stated, I am wishing for wind protection. That's one reason I was so disappointed when the Fazer 8 was only offered in the US as an FZ8. Thanks for keeping me in mind. Have a safe trip. Wish I was going. .

I went to Google Street View. I didn't see a speed limit sign, but I'm assuming it's 35 mph based on all the driveways. It's dark. I'm in my car. I expect to see the headlights of other vehicles on the street. That tells me they are there. I'm not expecting a dark object to be flying up the street well over the speed limit, at night when it's hard enough to see things. I make a left turn when I see no other vehicles coming towards me. SLAM!!! WTF was that? It was impossible to see. I was focused on distant vehicles approaching me. They had headlights clearly visible. I think the law may state that a headlight must be visible from a certain distance and must be turned on when dark. Apparently his was not visible from that distance on that evening. I would be very likely to kick him while he's down. I'd be pissed. Asshole! If you are going to be stupid, at least be stupid in the daylight so that we can all see it. I'm not sympathetic to morons. . .

I like the idea of taking the internet back. Does anyone know anything about this? https://www.resetthenet.org/ .

Park in gear on a slope, with a chance of rolling. Park out of gear on a flat. Center stand gives me options. I don't want to fiddle with the shifter when I'm starting it up. Start while off because it's warming up while I'm suiting up. It's usually ready to go before I am. Start while on if I'm already suited up and the bike is warm and runs without needing the choke. I shut it back off if it's fully warmed up and I'm not fully dressed. Then, I mount and fire it up to go. My biggest issue is how lean it on a slope so it is stable. .

I've never seen a decorated cheesecake. Just an idea. It's my favorite. .

It's amazing what kind of problems a simple computer reboot will solve. Management has their "favorites". Those chosen few will fail to share passwords that are needed when computers are rebooted. When the "system" goes down and a reboot is needed, it's always at 2:30 am, and no one in house has the needed passwords. The boneheads are supervisors, for not insuring changed passwords are shared with those who need them at a moment's notice. .

My work rules: 8 hours for them. 16 hours for me. Do not do more work on another person's machine than that person normally does. Being short of help is not my issue. I'm not responsible for scheduling and staffing. If you want me to do two people's jobs, it requires two people's paychecks. In order for me to do this extra work, what is it that you do not want me to do so that I have time to do that? There is absolutely nothing you can do or say to make your supervisor any smarter. If you bring attention to a problem, you will be the one assigned to fix it. You get two breaks and a lunch. Don't cheat yourself out of them. I do not have the authority to make decisions that screw things up. Management gets paid well to do that. If the person who called for maintenance is not present when maintenance shows up, we will come back when they come back. Once you have put the machine in position to complete the task and the operator is not present to run the machine, starting the machine for them will only insure they will never come out of the break room..

It didn't happen to this extent. Things of this nature were very rare. The world is becoming a more dangerous place, and it will get even worse. You haven't seen anything yet. .

If you are not sending your gauge off to the Bureau of Standards, how do you know it is off, or the ones you are comparing it to is correct? Do the ones closest to the same reading win the prize? . .

Very cool. Very cool. Would have liked to see a higher flight putting it into the middle of the pond. .

The Ohio Department of Insurance would maybe like to hear about this. They license the agents. Consumer Hotline: 1-800-686-1526 Fraud Hotline: 1-800-686-1527 If they say they want to destroy the gear, do it for them before you turn it over. .

I'm happy to see three parallel twins on the "fastest" list. That gives me hope. And 570 hp? What in the frigging frig would you do with that, that didn't involve a straight line, or maybe circling the globe? Talk about getting your Iron Butt certificate. Can you say 2000 miles in 24 hours? . .

Maybe it's time to chuck it all and go live in the woods. .

Bring back public hangings. High noon. Courthouse lawn. Every Wednesday. Bring a lunch. .

The lock was never cut. Right there is the same one that has always been on there. (scuffed up and rusted with a little help from a file and being left in water, and paid for with cash). I've had no break-in. Nothing is missing. If there is a record of ammo purchase, I sold it. I needed the money for a bike farkle. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. .

Some of that looks interesting. I try to stay away from the touristy areas, Conkle's Hollow, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave. Too many Rangers and sight seers for me, unless I'm in tourist mode. You have to really watch the traffic around there. .

And now, 80 is the new 60. . And now, 80 mph is the new 60. .

With a Katana rim and a GSXR 600 brake torque arm a 160 can fit. But, I don't want to go that route since it's a learner bike, and I don't want to sacrifice handling with a wider tire. Not that I would have the skills to notice. It's not a sport bike but I want to ride it like one to the best of my ability when I'm on the fun roads. Unless someone knows something more than what's been posted so far, I think the Avon will be my choice. I'll ride to work and have the Pony put them on tomorrow. .

Well, I checked out all tires that were suggested here. Pirelli Angel ST and GT, plus Diablo Rosso II and Sport Demon. Angels do not come in my size. They only stock a Diablo front and a Rosso rear. Michelin Pilot Road 4, 3, &2's, same story. Pilot Street, and Power, same deal. Here's what they do have, that they suggested to me. Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 Front: $104.99 Rear: $107.99 Dunlop GT-501G Front: $89.99 Rear: $132.99 Avon / AM26 Roadrider Front: $86.99 Rear: $94.99 The Bridgestones are closest to stock. I'm leaning towards the Avon. Feedback from you fine folks? .

PM sent. .

Sounds like a good day to just go back to bed. Sorry to hear it. .

It seems as though you are mistaking your smoke alarm for a timer. .

I felt like I was flying, at 45 mph, when I first started riding. .

That was just plain stupid. .

Black Beach Week, Black Bike Week, Black Bikers Week Black Fill-in-the-Blank Week Atlantic Beach BikeFest It's all the same, listed as a major African American motorcycle rally originally called the Atlantic Beach Memorial Day BikeFest. I had to look at photos to be sure it wasn't for the purpose of celebrating black motorcycles. One website mentioned all were welcome. Does anyone have a hankerin' for some chittlin's and greens? .
