Too bad the next federal administration will still have the ability to start re-enforcing federal laws on MJ. Need to get rid of the federal classification as a schedule 1 drug.

The driver of the car should be thrown off the side of a truck at 60mph, so he can feel the pain that his actions inflicted upon the riders. Too bad that it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

I have always been responsible for my education and development of skills. I am free to take my education, experience, and skills to the employer of my choice. That is the purpose of a free market economy.

In the master level civil engineering classes, white males were a minority. If you add the Asians and Indians, they were the majority. Many of them went home after graduation, but some of them immigrated and stayed in the U.S. From my experience, these very intelligent individuals should be welcomed in any society. They tend to be an asset, not a liability.

i don't recall my insurance rates going up when I got tagged for 79(?) in a 60.  Now since I totaled the Nissan, yeah, my rates have gone up a tad...

 

I never mentioned the ticket to my insurance company though.  I'm not sure how they would have even known about it.

I got 86 in a 70 in Virginia. It was a reckless operation in the Commonwealth. I got 0 points on my license in Ohio, but it got my insurance company to drop me. My new insurance is more expensive. The kick in the balls is that it would have been speeding in Ohio, and it would have barely been a blip on the insurance radar.

In my next life, I want to have 1/2 of the toys that Hoblick has had.

5 hours away, and has some questionable issues? Less than $3k.

Nice find. It's amazing that they could take $4k and make it faster than the H2R, while maintaining street legal status.

That's great!

I have heated gear. I try to avoid riding in the salt, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I only ride my dual sport in the snow. A C14 in the snow is a very scary thought!

There are lots of well maintained bikes that last many miles:

Jim, welcome to my world!

Get well soon!

That is impressive. I am guessing 2 or 3 gas stops in 16 minutes. Good moving average while going thru Chicago area. Nice!

Have you gotten your parking space back, or is she still parking in it?

Enjoy the the ride!

I wish I could make it, but I can't. This seems pretty applicable for any less experienced riders plan to ride:

Nice bike!

I don't see how any of this is legal when outside companies operate and maintain the cameras  and collect monies from it.  

that's like me standing on the corner and giving out tickets.   someone has greased some palms to get this shit passed.  I wonder how many police and politicians have gotten out of fines.  if someone could prove they have this will put a nail in the coffin for these things.

Welcome

I tend to wake up too early before big rides. I often times leave a couple of hours earlier than planned.

On long rides, bicycle shorts definitely help a ton. I also have an Alaskan sheep skin on a Russell Day Long seat. Between these 3 items, I can ride all day with minimal stops. Also, some people swear that taking some ibuprofen helps on looking days.

Looks good. Now, it is time to drag some floor boards to make sure the brace is effective.

There is only so much that can be done with that destination. Chicago traffic sucks, but that route gets better once west of Chicago. The nice thing about traveling west on an Iron Butt (Saddle Sore 1000) ride is that it will extend your time riding in daylight. Going into MN also lets you look forward to the trip to Aerostitch.

If you ever want to get one of there suits, it would be tough to beat riding in there and picking out your desired product in person.

I would rather have the Mille. How are you enjoying it so far?
