The bigger threat to the dollar as a reserve currency is the current $20 trillion dollar national debt coupled with the tens of trillions in unfunded liabilities. If these don't get handled, we will see significant future inflation. A balanced budget is nowhere in sight with either of these two clowns.

They won't quit, even if Giant Douche beats Turd Sandwich.

I washed and waxed the Connie today. Apparently, that is what your supposed to do when you don't ride them. Not riding motorcycle sucks! Ride on Bitches!

I ride that same route on occasion. There isn't much traffic, so it is a lot of fun. The road isn't in the best of conditions, but it can be easily ridden at a pretty good pace.

Unfortunately knee bend and weight are going to be my primary motorcycle concerns for a while.

I went to a dealer today and sat on a VFR800, and you guys are right. The FZ1 seems to be the way to go. Now time to watch Craigslist.

I hate living in a swing state, because the constant flow of political commercials sucks. Both major parties suck!

There seems to be a lot of fz1s for sale now (as well as vfrs). I need something somewhat light, and it can't have too much of a sporting riding position. This will allow me to start riding in a few weeks, and I can resume riding the Connie and sporty bike in the spring. (New ACL should be 100% this winter.) How is the Gen 1 FZ1d vs early 2000s VFRs? It seems like I could get either one inexpensively, then sell it in the spring if I don't like it.

It seems that the Gen 1 FZ1s are more popular than the Gen 2 due to fuel mapping issues. Did this ever get resolved, or do they need a fuel commander? Would I be better off looking at Gen 1s?

I have been considering adding a first generation FZ1 to the garage. I have always liked them and the KLR from afar. My concern is that it may be too similar to the Connie, so I may not ride it much. I am hoping that the lighter FZ1 may allow me to return to riding sooner than my Connie. Any thoughts or suggestions?

42/42, but I am riding on a speeding couch.

Walking without crutches rocks!

Kind of like this:

I tore my miniscus, ACL, and bone bruising in the knee . My surgery was about 3.5 weeks after the injury. Once I could walk (but before my surgery) , I rode an exercise bike as often as I could. I did a bunch of exercises to help with the recovery. I am about 3.5 weeks past my surgery, and I am still walking with crutches on uneven ground. I can walk short distances around the house without crutches, but my better half (which is a PTA) gets mad. According to my physical therapy plan, I am not supposed to walk without crutches until this Thursday. It is my intent to start riding a stationary bike tomorrow (if swelling stays down). I want to get back to normal ASAP. If you are interested, send me a PM with your email address. I will email a copy of the physical therapy exercises that you will perform after your surgery. If you start them prior to your surgery, it will aid in your recovery.

Sorry to hear about your injury. I just had my ACL done a few weeks ago. Make sure you get a Game Ready ice machine for post operation. They ease the pain and reduce swelling. Get well soon!

You should have popped more whoolies.

Welcome

Girls have no business riding on the road! But in the dirt is a whole other story.

Shame on both major parties. Americans are dying to protect people of other nations (that may or may not appreciate our sacrifices). We are being enslaved with debt by both major parties. Choosing between the Republicans and the Democratic Socialists is a lose/lose proposition. I vote on principal, not to be symbolic. Let Johnson debate the two clowns, and we can see what happens.

We don't have to choose between just these two assholes . VOTE GARY JOHNSON 2016!

The closest opportunity to live that lifestyle is Cuba. You can drive some of the finest automobiles available from the 1950s.
