I raced a Harley recently and after some really hard riding I managed to PASS the guy. I was riding on one of those really, really twisting sections of canyon road with no straight sections to speak of and where most of the curves have warning signs that say "15 MPH". I knew if I was going to pass one of those monsters with those big-cubic-inch motors, it would have to be a place like this where handling and rider skill are more important than horsepower alone. I saw the guy up ahead as I exited one of the turns and knew I could catch him, but it wouldn't be easy. I concentrated on my braking and cornering. three corners later, I was on his fender. Catching him was one thing; passing him would prove to be another. Two corners later, I pulled up next to him as we sailed down the mountain. I think he was shocked to see me next to him, as I nearly got by him before he could recover. Next corner, same thing. I'd manage to pull up next to him as we started to enter the corners but when we came out he'd get on the throttle and outpower me. His horsepower was almost too much to overcome, but this only made me more determined than ever. My only hope was to outbrake him. I held off squeezing the lever until the last instant. I kept my nerve while he lost his. In an instant I was by him. Corner after corner, I could hear the roar of his engine as he struggled to keep up. Three more miles to go before the road straightens out and he would pass me for good. But now I was in the lead and he would no longer hold me back. I stretched out my lead and by the time we reached the bottom of the canyon, he was more than a full corner behind. I could no longer see him in my rear-view mirror. Once the road did straighten out, it seemed like it took miles before he passed me, but it was probably just a few hundred yards. I was no match for that kind of horsepower, but it was done. In the tightest section of road, where bravery and skill count for more than horspower and deep pockets, I had passed him. though it was not easy, I had won the race to the bottom of the canyon and I had preserved the proud tradition of another of America's best bikes. I will always remember that moment. I don't think I've ever pedaled so hard in my life. And some of the credit must go to Schwinn, as well. They really make a great bicycle.

do they have a website?

tru dat. but when the guy with the 06 does intake and exhaust too, arent you back in the hole trying to play catch up?

personally id try to find an 04 or 05 so you can get the faster 6 litre... although some ppl like the 04 body more. the 6 litre has 50hp more stock, and has a stouter drive shaft and stuff. you can always mod the ls1 to get that extra 50hp... idk personally, id want the 6L to start with so im not trying to play catch up

umm, no one said that it makes you invincible. have you ever pondered the possibility that your rash would have been worse without the leathers? curious, did you not have the jacket and pants zipped together or something?

red lobster? is that some kind of punishment or something? why not go somewhere nice?

so has OSU PD been investigating who made this false 911 call?

ahh gotcha. im not totally sure id consider buckeyefirearms.org "the media" though lol... i think they are more like bloggers. and really, why would they be trying to make him look bad like he was intimidating? im pretty sure they are on his side.

what media outlet said that? i just did a quick search on dispatch.com, 10tv.com and nbc4i.com and saw nothing of the sort. there were a couple results that mentioned SFCC and mike newbern as the president, but none of them were talking about the incident at the rally they were just talking about SFCC in general.

get out of here with your facts!

dude, red dead is the shit. its like GTA in the old west. you can steal horses, play poker and duel in the street. if you see a deer or a wolf you can shoot it and skin it. i probably spent half the game just hunting.

that may very well be what they are referring to. the article wasn't the most well written. then again, disorderly conduct IS one of those things that gets used to just jam people up when there isn't really anything else to get them on... so who knows. i guess only time will tell.

how many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb? its a really obscure number you've probably never heard of.

the other thing to remember... even if it was 60, people who live in south florida think thats freezing cold, and they all bust out the long pants, hoodies and jackets. when its 60 up here, i see people in shorts and flip flops lol

i downloaded instagram the other day. its kinda cool. i uploaded a few pics... i just dont understand what all the hype was? its like 15 sepia filters. i was kind of unimpressed. thought there was more to it.

its from the link in the first post of this thread.

interesting. i had not seen that yet.

his dad lived in that neighborhood. it wasn't 10:30, it was 7:30. it was also raining. please try to stick to facts instead of making up your own scenario in your head.

yeah but would anyone admit it if there were?

we aren't going to arrest you because you didnt do anything illegal, but we may still charge you with disorderly conduct because screw you!

nice. i liked the bike nights we had there a couple years back. its closer to me than QSL

does your master cylinder have a bleed valve too? you may need to bleed that as well. sometimes you can get an air bubble in your master cylinder that's kind of tough to get out.

you are correct that the initial aggressor loses the ability to claim self defense, however, as with everything else there are exceptions. if the initial aggressor withdraws, and communicates this withdrawal to the other party, they regain the right to self defense. also, if the victim of aggression escalates the level of force, (i.e. you start a fist fight, and then they pull out a knife) the initial aggressor may regain the right to self defense. just to be clear, im not trying to defend or villify anyone. im just saying that these are the rules.

learn adblockvideo, noobs. problem solved.

papers please... land of the free, lol.
