  1. I would not call it a freak bicycle accident. I would call it a driver not paying attention and hitting a bicyclist killing them, and it happens all too often. The irony however is most people likely thought there would be and engine on the two wheel'd "death machine"
  2. Yes to all of this. Cup of Joe's lease I believe was expiring and no option was going to be renewed which is why there is action now. Core life eatery will flunk out of there, my guess is 12 months...Underwhelmed the two times I have been to the Polaris location...High labor costs, large investment footprint, slow throughput, not enough 12 dollar salads to make it work IMO.
  3. on the 28th I would have been yes! Easy spin day had a race this sunday!

     

    Hows your new rig? My racing season rolls through the end of the month then I tune it back and be happy to get out on some rolls.

  4. Yes, call Jon Moore and visit him at his shop.
  5. The refs are terrible, consistent theme. Bull shit penalty on "goalie interference" with Andre completely out of the crease and indirect contact...Joke. Takes the tying goal away. Leads to a pen goal...pivotal moment dictated by BAD a bad call. Torts had his right to be livid. Bob being and avg. goalie in the playoffs has hurt, no front line hurts, but the team still has something for next year.
  6. Forget for a moment about the series. I am not arguing the outcome thus far. What I am saying is the merit of the regular season is deteriorated by the dumbest possible method for playoff seeding.
  7. The Pens will win the cup. The jackets are still a good team, but no front line to match the pens, thats where its clearly obviously lacking. Cam is no Malkin, No crosby, Dubi is no Kessel... The real issue I have is how the NHL structures the playoffs, its a joke relative to season success. The Jackets should not have to play the pens in a first round, thats my main beef in this whole ordeal.
  8. find out what parts are on it, like the crankset, ect. can pretty much narrow it down for you. Example Shimano ultegra crankset ect, or if you have any pics of the bike.
  9. Thats a good bike. https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/searchlistingdetail.aspx?id=3040677 This is what a lot of "riders" use to get a rough guess on bikes. I always offer fair price when I am shopping around. You can also search eBay to get a fair idea as well.
  10. scratch that... they are getting swept...
  11. It fell to one bad period really in the second. CBJ got arrogant from the 1st period domination...all but scoring of course 16-3 shots...Then come the second period they let off the gas a little and the Pens rope a doped them perfectly. Andre will cough up some goals, just be patient. The series will go the distance.
  12. I agree with your analysis and thought along the same lines. It reminds me kind of like a ponzi scheme... Yes invest now, it will pay off in the long run. Then your 15 years down the line and it didnt pan out as predicted and there is no ROI just and outlay with little to no ROI (granted you have a roof so I guess that is nice). I am just not all warm and fuzzy on this one. But I could be wrong .
  13. So BE is around 7-8 years, does it take another 7-8 years to get 10% ROI? What does BE look like when the FED decides to bail on the tax credit? For me the money is invested elsewhere more efficiently, other then "feeling good" with solar power. Are these systems desirable and add 1:1 value to homes? Seems to me it is still a "feel" good setup.
  14. Took a customer car down there maybe 7-8 years ago, hit 195mph in the mile and it was sketchy (super snake). Granted I was willing to do it again...With kids now I would pass. I remember watching the Porsche spin out at 200, truck flip at like 80 mph slowing from 170, all kinds of destruction. I can see why the UGR and others guy bowed out so to speak.
  15. I believe that car had a dogbox as well as larger turbos (78-80mm), from my "tellings". Street car is always a slippery slope with all of these cars. I am sure it drives like a race car, requires maintenance like a race car, but "looks" street car. Dollar for Dollar you can not seem to beat the GTR at this point. Thanks for the information on the transmission, makes perfect sense.
  16. Yes of course, anything at that level of HP / Speed does.
  17. Ah fair enough, I thought it was the white car (shep) that had and issue, they all start to blend together. Question why do so many GTR's that were racing have to stop mid track and shut their cars off and restart after a bad launch? Some kind of ECU reduced engine power mode? Happened at least to a dozen of them while I was watching. And you can definitely tell these guys are pushing pushing pushing, which is exciting, but many of them broke, collateral damage to testing the limits. Those 6 second GTR's (well one) are flat out race cars, striped down race cars, comparing those to that yellow Huracan is silly. That car was a street car full interior. And that Huracan was toying with the competition in the roll race event, it had and "easy 220-230 in it" (according to Kevin at the event). Did they take that car to the standing mile deal? Downplaying GTR greatness is not my intention, just perspective from the event/reality. Ironically the R35 is a car I am shopping for right now!
  18. That makes sense then. He had some kind of failure down there, I am sure it will get posted up what happened, but big smoke (oil) at the top end on one of his passes.
  19. Does Shep have a " 7 sec gtr" plate? I noticed a white GT-R while I was there with Ohio tags with a plate something to that effect. Whomever's car it was they bailed out on the second day, due to failure of some kind. The car put out a ton of smoke on the top end of a pass it made. In fact several GTR's blew up down there in similar fashion, granted all were fairly fast. The AMS folks going 6's is pretty cool; especially with the fire, and engines'. Is it earth shattering, no, but it shows me they have a solid fan base to say the least. It is fun to see the boundary being crossed over and over. ETS looked as if they might be first but 3 trans' later no dice... The GTR guys were certainly well prepared with spares, I will give them that lol. Unlike say the Underground Yellow Huracan which flat out was hands down better then the rest, it is the new bench mark.

    Tx2k17

    I am heading down on Wednesday. Have not done the 2k event, only the Mile events in the past. Should be a good time!
  21. Smart. Most of the supplements become expensive urine.
  22. Haha, yeah I am familiar with the area, ride out there a lot, and do not live really all that far now (right by GlenRoss). We wanted a slightly larger home, and for the amount of money I made on this home deal, and the fact I do not think our current home would ever be worth much more it was a no brainer. What is your last name? I am happy to name drop if it helps. I will see what they charge vs pods. We are moving out into a home off Glick and Jerome for 6 months while we wait the finish of the new home; but I do not want to move "all" our belongings really just the bare minimum frankly. I have thought about this, I will see what I can find this weekend around sunbury/galena.
