Not sure how bad your eyes are but I had to get glasses for reading and anything up close a couple years ago. I never really needed them on the bike till last year when trying to read the dash,gps or mp3 player was becoming a chore. I picked up a set of the cheap sunglasses with bifocals in them and they really helped and do not seem to interfere with my line of sight. I am going to try a set of these this year http://www.aerostich.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=bifocal+inserts&dir=desc&order=relevance in my regular sunglasses. Getting old sux:(

6x10 enclosed Cons: as stated, fuel mileage does suffer (funny note- my dodge cummins maintained 18mpg @ 65-70mph, my tacoma v-6 drops approx 4-5mpg but my friend's Duramax dually went from 21mpg to 12 mpg with my trailer and same load:eek:) Granted I drive like a grandma and pretty much stay @65-70 where as he drives 80-85 the whole way. It can haul 2 bikes fine with all the gear needed but it can be a tight fit Now that I have a smaller truck I would like to have one with a lower roof height, but no more than I actually tow it would be hard to justify right now I really miss having an open trailer for various hauling duties that the enclosed is either cumbersome or not long enough. Pros: I like the security especially if the trip involves unknown stops/hotels/areas. I like having the bikes and belongings out of the elements and away from thieving hands. It doubles as a place to sleep on occasions During the winter it gets used as a place to store my quad All of our bike related gear stays in the trailer year around so it keeps everything together and you always know where everything is. Taking a week or two trip with wife involves lots of luggage...the trailer helps

I have a 6x10 enclosed that I now tow with a Tacoma dbl cab. It gets around 14-16mpg with the trailer. The only thing I did was add trailer brakes as the Tacoma was lacking in that dept vs my old Dodge Cummins. I put shelves and a cabinet up front for storage of our helmets,leathers,boots,tools,air compressor,ez-up etc. which stays in the trailer all year. The trailer has Baxley chocks and e-track and both bikes can be loaded/strapped and ready to go in less than 5 mins. Definitely nothing fancy as it was a jobsite trailer in its former life but it does make traveling with bikes (and a wife:)) much easier for me.

.... “As parents, they’re going to have to start watching what their kids are doing more closely,” he said. This guy is a Genius!

I'm in, maybe the wife depending on date. Thanks

Agreed! Nicely done:bow:

Agree

I agree, however when one is a danger to oneself or others, all bets are off. Think, sex offenders and pedophiles. Definitely a fine line though and hopefully will be well thought out as to protect all

I wonder how much the ACLU will fight it now http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/2012/12/17/connecticut-mental-health-bill-defeated-months-before-deadly-school-shooting/

^^This^^^ ....reading comprehension is strong with this one Banning guns was and always will be, unable to thwart crazy fuggars from committing violence.

Columbine was during the Clinton AWB.....

Reading comprehension not you strong suit, huh?

You win, your kool-aide is much stronger than mine. I'm sure banning guns with bayonet lugs,threaded flash hiders and pistol grips will prove to be a noble cause for America just like in the past.

Are you sure they did not. Just like most bills, politicians put some good stuff in there,then stuff it to the rim with shit. Why would the NRA (some 18 years ago)state their approval for legislation that included a ban on firearms and ultimately against what they and their membership want. The question should be,if the legislation was so important why did the politician first try to pass it with an AWB buried in with it. Main goal of the AWB, I'm sure everyone has their on feelings on this, but history has shown that the 1994 AWB did little or nothing(depending on what channel your watching at the time), to reduce gun violence and/or crime. Majority of 'gun related' crimes do not even involve guns that listed in the AWB. But lets pass it again if it will make everyone feel better:rolleyes:

Some 18 years ago the NRA remarked that they were not in favor of a program that a Dem President supported will he was also enacting an AWB and that is what they are basing the foundation of their reasoning now?

hmmmm.. 13 pages and only 4-5 discrepancies that may not be completely true. Hell, the Whitehouse has more lies in a 10 minute press briefing Someone mention Benghazi......

What, you don't blindly believe everything that is spewed across the inter webs either?

Massad Ayoob 12,DEC.,12 The atrocity at the Connecticut elementary school will not be the last such horror, nor was it the first or even the worst. Go back to the year 1764, in what is now Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The first: during Pontiac’s Rebellion in the wake of the French and Indian War, four “warriors” entered a schoolhouse and slaughtered the headmaster and some ten children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac%27s_Rebellion_school_massacre . The worst: in 1927, a crazed monster beat his wife to death, then triggered a bombing in an elementary school in Bath, Michigan, killing some 38 kids and several adults. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster . I’ll repeat what I said in the Wall Street Journal op-ed section and on the Today show in 1999, after the Columbine High School atrocity: if we simply prepared teachers to handle this type of crisis the way we teach them to handle fires and medical emergencies, the death toll would drop dramatically. We don’t hear of mass deaths of children in school fires these days: fire drills have long since been commonplace, led by trained school staff, not to mention sprinkler systems and smoke alarms and strategically placed fire extinguishers that can nip a blaze in the bud while firefighters are en route. In the past, if someone “dropped dead,” people would cry and wring their hands and wail, “When will the ambulance get here?” Today, almost every responsible adult knows CPR; most schools have easily-operated Automatic Electronic Defibrillators readily accessible; and a heart attack victim’s chance of surviving until the paramedics arrive to take over is now far greater. The same principle works for defending against mass murders…it just doesn’t work HERE, because it is politically incorrect to employ it HERE. After the Ma’alot massacre in 1974, Israel instituted a policy in which volunteer school personnel, parents, and grandparents received special training from the civil guard, and were seeded throughout the schools armed with discreetly concealed 9mm semiautomatic pistols. Since that time, there has been no successful mass murder at an Israeli school, and every attempt at such has been quickly shortstopped by the good guys’ gunfire, with minimal casualties among the innocent. Similar programs are in place in Peru and the Phillippines, with similarly successful results. Some people see the logic in the Israeli approach. Dave Workman does, as seen here: http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-wants-action-regardless-of-politics-after-gun-free-school-zone-tragedy?cid=db_articles . Ann Coulter does, as seen here: http://www.thewrap.com/media/column-post/newtown-school-shootings-ann-coulter-makes-her-case-concealed-carry-laws-69361 . Unfortunately, in this country, logic has been buried under political correctness. Those in power whose ego is invested in brie et Chablis values that include scorn for the peasantry they accuse of “clinging to guns and Bibles” will never see that logic. Children will continue to die in gun-free zones hunting preserves for psychopathic murderers, and the cowardly murderers will continue to surrender or kill themselves as soon as armed good guys show up…far too late.

You have to feed the sheep what they want. Facts are hard to digest. Shit just flows right in one end and out the other

You recalled correctly,he was a local milk truck driver per the report. I thought you meant it does not happen in Amish communities.

it does... http://www.centredaily.com/2012/12/14/3436113/state-passed-on-lessons-from-amish.html Crazy knows no bounds

Should have 'thrown some elbows' and he'd still have his job... I like O'Reilly's better anyway,this just confirmed it:nono:

Agreed

Hopefully this not a repost, but I found the book by Fernando Aguirre , “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse” very insightful and in general, a good read. Here is an essay he wrote about surviving the 2001 Economic situation/riots in Argentina and what he learned from it. http://www.survivalandbeyond.net/urban-survival-fernando-ferfal-aguirre/ His website http://www.themodernsurvivalist.com/about
