Thanks for setting this up. I am hoping to make it.

My brother just picked up a 2014 FJR. Which is the best forum for info on them?

Did a victory lap around the neighborhood today on a dirt bike.

Double ear infection with bronchitis, been a shity weekend and probably next several days.

Get well soon!

Depends on your definition. However wealth redistribution would not be an issue if the rules of the game hadn't been changed and the social contract broken. I would argue large wealth redistribution is a penalty for breaking that contract. One I would say is deserved.

I think there is a word for the government redistributing wealth and economic resources as it sees fit, and it certainly is not in the constitution.

The Declaration includes the words "unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  That could be construed for the first part of those maybe not so much the second.  The current situation in the US could be argued very well to be inhibitive to the first and the last of those.

Isn't wealth redistribution the opposite of liberty?

I need to re-read the constitution. I must have glossed over the section about government responsibility for wealth redistribution and guaranteeing everyone owning their own home.

Had my first call with one of my clients....people warned me this client was "not a good one" and "they burn through people".

I thought they were blowing things out of proportion, until I felt this new level of Hostile. I have not felt that kind of angst and pure combativeness since I spoke to my ex-wife(more than a decade ago).

These people make my former boss at CSCC(an angry little Frenchman) look like a kindergarten teacher.

I sincerely hope I can get this workload and jobsite under control.

There is a good section of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that deals with the art of proactivity. I find that information very useful when dealing with extremely difficult people.

Heated gear greatly lengthens the riding season. It also makes touring much more enjoyable as the weather conditions change.

This is a common issue addressed in many of the articles reviewing this bike. Between the XR and the Multistrada, they are both very nice bikes. Sport bike performance with comfy ergos is nice!

Having separate accounts does not necessarily mean that you are not partners for life. We have separate accounts. I am fiscally conservative, and I handle all household financial items.

My libertarian nature does not want to tell my wife what and what not to spend her money on. She can spend her money how she sees fit. We go through the finances quarterly, so she can see the status of everything.

You could drink a bunch of beer and roll up the pant legs for less than the cost of exchange.

Congrats! You will have them for many years.

Hum that sucks, they were the front runners. Might ride down to IP wednesday afternoon and check out what they have on the hangers.

You may want to check out the Firstgear TPG over pant. They are waterproof, breathable, and they include the D30 armor. I was considering them prior to buying my 1 piece suit.

My parents bought all 3 of my daughters new dirt riding gear with boots. They are ecstatic.

I bought myself a new pair of boots for the street and a set for the dirt.

Problem I have with suits is the hight and sleeve length. I've tried a few on and noone really makes one in tall sizes. Plus I like to have the option the switch out between my mesh and tour jacket.

What do you think of the tourmaster overpants in the summer, lack of air flow is my only concern. I would run them with just then shorts underneath as long as the internal material isn't plastic like. Plus I have a tourmaster saber two 3/4 length tour jacket that would zip into it.

They are too warm in the summer. They have no airflow. If they used a more breathable material, they would be better.

I have the Tourmaster Overpant. However this is my favorite suit. Unfortunately, I did not got get it on clearance, but this suit is extremely flexible:

Riding in a long number of consecutive months has a lot to do with willpower. I am coming up on nearly 4 years of riding at least once a month, but I ride street & dirt bikes. Heated gear makes riding in the cold easy peasy.

+1. Diversified is key. That and low expense fees.

How does the LCP compare with the Glock 42 and the S&W MP Bodyguard? Thinking about picking up one of these 3 for the better half for Christmas.
