Warning...the native language in Costa Rica isn't English! Pura Vida!

Rode the TOT from New Philadelphia east to the Mighty Ohio yesterday. Beautiful day.

Secrets Akumal is pretty swank! The beach is incredible, and you can snorkel with the giant sea turtles right in front of the resort. ..but you're not gonna get that place for the same $$.

I'd much rather do Mexico. Prices are better, people are great, food is awesome.

You can do one day at a time.

The wifey and I have been doing Mexico twice a year for the past 5 years! All-inclusives are the way to go! Best bang for the buck has been here: http://www.secretsresorts.com/en_us/resorts/mexico/aura-cozumel.html Good enough that we bought into the membership. SO, if you want to go to a Secrets (Adults only) or one of the other AM resorts, you can get a one-time membership rate through ME, and I will earn a free night! This time of year you can likely get that resort for just over $100/per night/ per person, plus air. (you just gotta listen to an hour of sales talk) We are going to try Cap Cana (Dom Republic) next month for something new for about the same $. http://www.secretsresorts.com/en_us/resorts/dominican-republic/cap-cana.html

¡Mas queso!, no mas pez, gracias.

Hold the salsa!

Ive used windex (or a generic version) to change the dirtbike tires, following a YouTube vid with success. Kinda stinky tho.

Wtf??

I have the "City" version of this bag on my GSA...love it! Very well constructed. Tried the Givi tanklock bag first...sent that back. No comparison! I like Givi products, just not that product.

Too late. Better pull out the key and toss it!!!

Better read back on this thread Dan. Those pain pills having negative effects?

Thank you for verifying Isaac's Papa's previous statement.

The wife's got a pixel. She likes it a lot, says she will never go back to I-phones. The only thing it needs is more battery life. Only a few phones out there with more than 3 Amp-Hours....and my old Motorola Droid Maxx is one of them...4 years strong now.

Yes, you are "forever the contrarian"!

...when visibility is best, deer are sleeping, and drunk drivers are few.

OK, so virtually every person who has ever operated a motor vehicle is now a hypocrite.

Cops are too lazy to do this sort of thing. Unless the event is huge and widely known, it aint happenin. They just know the best places to hide to entrap motorists for revenue generation.

If I get busted for speeding for just 10 over the limit because they increased surveillance due to your triple-the-speed-limit, that's not being a hypocrite. Thats just gonna piss me off.!

The laws could move from traffic to bike-specific restrictions, as in many other countries. For example, many European countries require you to start on a very small cc bike and graduate up to bigger bikes over time......quite a long time. Again, less freedom. You can find many other examples throughout the world of different bike restrictions. Many communities/organizations here in the US do not allow any motorcycles due to noise...how do you suppose those policies got started???? So now I cannot take my quiet BMW into these places. Another Lost freedom. The second point is a matter of exposure/risk. In SEO you have the luxury of little traffic, few LEOs, and not a lot of $$$ to do anything about your law-breaking. On the interstate, you have just the opposite.

Short of new legislation, bigger fines, etc., repeated actions will be met with increased surveillance. And the next unsuspecting fool to get busted may be one of us. The other question is Why? Anyone with a sportbike can pull the trigger and hit 130 on a straight freeway. Take that bike to a twisty road and enjoy some corners. More fun to go faster in the turns than in straight sections.

Yes, they are. People's actions that others find threatening and dangerous are often cause for new or more punitive legislation. More laws=less freedom. And no better place to showcase your brash and selfish behaviour than a busy 6 lane interstate.
