Thurmans is fantastic.....

i have a 2 piece AGVSport i bought used a couple of years ago. its size 44, i think. i'm 6', 185 lbs and wear 32/34 pants and this suit is a little bit loose, but not too loose. its def used, but not in bad shape. just a little dirty and some bug guts. i wore it once then found a 1 piece. its red/black/white, all stitching is good and has pucks (but they dont match) and full zipper. $100 let me know.

is fan-ta-stic!!

i have an older ultra-lap you can use. however, it runs off of a 12v supply, so you'll need a battery or transformer. it will work with the AIM receivers in the start/finish mode only. it worked last time i used it (few years ago, and i have an aim receiver), so maybe it could be a last resort for you........ let me know, i'm in SW cols.

i guess its at a funny angle.......i'll get another soon. hey brian, this crash was 3-4 years ago at a track day with tony and steph. i've never raced. i may be able to keep this bike if i can save enough money by stalling long enough with my responsibilities! you still racing?

i'd have to agree, they do look good. anyway, why not take her to the zoo....

whatever you do DO NOT tell her you ride a 250.

i guess my price is too high......$2800.

I bought this bike new in '04 and put about 6k miles on it. I later "totalled" it at Gratten. Friend of mine bought it from Ins Co and repaired it and had it inspected, so it has a Rebuilt title and can be tagged. He rode it very seldomly, I would guess less than 2k miles and decided to make it into a track bike with the following: - '03 GSXR front end with 0 miles, shimmed and sprung for 185lb rider. - Penske triple adjustment rear shock new, shimmed and sprung for 185lb rider. - SS brake lines on front. - Full race bodywork (not installed and needs fairing stay) - Race gas cap. - Frame Sliders. - Rear sets (not sure of brand) - Clip ons (Vortex, i think) I recently bought it back, but can not keep it, unfortunately. I have all the stock parts, as well. The suspension was done by Jim Rashid formerly crew chief for Safety First Racing. Tank has damage from crash, but has been used ever since and bike has stock exhaust, also with damage from crash. I know the entire history of the bike and can answer any questions. The bike, basically, needs finished and all the parts are here. I do not have access to internet during the day, but will check back here every night, or I can be reached by phone during the day: 614.313.8515. $3500 for all. Thanks, Jason

truck driver. i haul sand from lancaster to marysville (across from honda plant) and limestone from ostrander to lancaster......

yeah, you're not missing much.....just the two of us trying to change eachothers minds.... so.... i'll have to def disagree with the better leader thing and the more obama speaks the more i cringe. at this point i'd say one is no better than the other. obama just seems to get his way, for now, and still riding the i'm-not-bush wave. since we're on the smoking thing.......i did vote for the smoking ban here in cbus; however, in hindsight, i wouldnt again. it should be up to the bar owner to decide. people should have petitioned the owners to try it, first. like i wrote before, it is our responsibility as consumers to control this, to an extent. there is a commercial on the radio about flavored cigars and kids smoking them. the lady talkes about how its a shame the state is not taxing them more so kids cant buy them as easily. whatever happened to parenting and why is it the states responsibility to prevent this and use taxpayer dollars to do so? anyway, just an example. i think virtually anything subsidized by the govt should be regulated by the free market and competition, as it was meant to be. so, if its needed it will thrive, if not it will fail or at least be minimized. i would expect that this would spark ingenuity and entrepreneurism, which would meet with the same scrutiny. govt need not be involved. all current subsidies/bailouts would fall under this pattern. gm and chrysler are now going to have the unions with 35% and 55% ownership, respectively; the unions being "workplace socialism".....not ideal, imo (RIP GM and Chrysler), since the unions are also not necessary. if you dont like your job then you have the freedom to find another that suits you. the first, undesirable, company will eventually have no choice but to start treating employees appropriately or have none and, thus, no business. also, if i recall, some of the failing banks were already being bought out just before the bail out. i would consider that to be capitalism at work, but nobody reported it that way. i think the taxes are yet-to-be-seen, which is, admittedly, hard to argue. but, again, it is, in my opinion, unamerican to segregate one category of taxpayers, some of which were not even involved in the banking melee, to carry much of the burden.

wow, so thorough with your response using the quotes..... i wont be so accommodating, unfortunately. i thought it was clear that i was not supporting/defending Bush, that was not my intention and i consider 'recently' to include the past several years. anyway, what about the tobacco tax which will affect more of the middle class than the upper class? i know this is just one example and that it is 'supposed' to be used for the children and all, but it is still early in obamas admin and it [health care] was part of the stimulus. i will expect to see more of such taxes and why is it the smokers responsibility to pay for that (please note that i am not a smoker and wouldnt care if they paid $100 pack, but thats not for me to decide. the market would be the factor here). moreover, why are those who have managed to be more successful (>$250k) expected to pay for the recklessness of those who are responsible for this mess. sure some fit the bill, but what will be ones motivation to be that successful in the future only to pay much higher taxes? not to mention The Community Reinvestment Act and its affect on some lending practices (i'm aware of both sides on this and that Bush increased the %age of reqirement of such loans). as far as efficiency, i dont think or want the govt to be responsible for making decisions for me. they can provide a military, infrastructure and a form of governing, all to be proportionate to population, and that is all. i think many govt agencies could be replaced by private companies and the free market. govt shouldnt be the answer for everything. i may be a bit naive in this, but i didnt see any major repub or big industry involvment. maybe that means they did their job well. i dont think it is difficult to get the word out to people, especially with the internetz. again, even if they were involved that doesnt mean that i am on board with them. and again and again, it shouldnt be a punishment to make more money if you've made the sacrifices and that is important to you. the rally was free, except we went to Ted's for a buffalo burger and he was not a sponsor. and what of the reliability of such articles? the tea parties are clearly a threat to the dems and should be looked at as a threat to the reps, too. people are looking for taxation with representation because they dont feel they are/have been getting it. this is becoming a vicious circle between us. volley....

ok, i think what is happening here is that i'm talking about what the assemblies meant TO ME. i went because (and i'm not going to pretend to be an expert on this) i believe in the free market and that bailing out everyone is not the way out. i havent made the best financial decisions, but i would never expect to get a hand out. if i fail on some level then i deserve to take my lumps and go on. please note here that bush was the instigator of the bail out. the money for the bailouts has to come from somewhere and it will def be in the form of taxes, where else in this trend towards big government. in my opinion, they should have revised the tax code (somewhere less than 60000 pages, or whatever it is) such that the US is an attractive place for business, again. keeping in mind that it is our job, as comsumers, to keep an eye out for the irresonsible capitalists and avoid patronizing them (a daunting task, i know). further, i believe that our govt is in desperate need of some streamlining, i.e. small and better, not bigger and less efficient. people need to learn to rely on themselves, not the govt. many people go with an argument without first understanding the basis for that argument (lazy, i guess). that being said, the whole anti-the barrack, socialism, fearmongering, etc., was present at the columbus rally, but in very small number. there was no hate speech. i maybe saw 10 or 12, if that many, signs of that nature out of 300 or so and in my opinion, those people didnt get it. there were republican speakers there also, but had a more libertarian message (catering to the crowd, maybe, but hopefully genuine). and if you have read anything about socialism/communism you would recognize the similarities of what is happening and what has been happening with our govt., not just in the past 100 days. i think folks are tired of the politicking and not feeling like they are being truely represented in congress on both sides of the aisle(i.e. no reps reading the "stimulus bill"). just a couple examples of why I was there. i honestly had no knowledge of the alleged freedomworks involvement and, frankly, dont care. i was there for reasons of my own, that doesnt mean that i fall into any certain category. that is why i went, to see for myself if it was legit. the rally was very peaceful and wasnt only about taxes and republicans winning and democrats losing. there is a distinct difference between reading op eds and seeing for yourself...

+1 revive the Democratic-Republicans!!

sorry for my delay on this. i dont want to drag this out, but just wanted to clarify..... my previous response was to the wing-nut fearmongering comments. the point being that if you listened to either you, more than likely, would not profess those sentiments. they're both pretty informed and intelligent once you get past the satire, as you mentioned. interesting, you should have been at a tea party then, because this is precisely what they were about....

so, no more work and no more taxes........sounds like a win-win!!

look, you seem like a pretty resonable guy, but i would have to guess that you have never listened to either of them for an appreciable amount of time, due to your response and obvious party affiliation (i.e. -why would you listen if you're a dem). what does kind of annoy me is the same thing that annoys you about others here. you're holding a bias for which you have not done the research yourself. its the same as not reading the whole article. i'm not challenging you to listen, or anything, but most of the stuff you probably see or hear about them is taken out of context. they play the same sound bites, read the same transcripts and have research teams just like everyone else, they're just not affraid to tell it like it is and dont get their ratings through the comedy channel. besides, how could they be on the air as long as they have if they make stuff up all the time? they would have been off the air in no time, like progressive talk shows. rightys arent that stupid!

i think blow=coke.

a co-worker of my mother's used to live in clintonville and they had a squirrel problem (getting into the house). so, she would catch them in a cage, fill up a tub with water and put the cage, with rodent, in the water until dead.

so, you're saying he's a political commentator....just like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

i drive through there 6 times per day, every day. from columbus heading towards lancaster there are many places they like to sit. 1. in the middle turn around just past rt 104 exit. county, state and city. 2. in the middle just past the 270 interchange. city and state usually. 3. in the middle just past the hamilton road exit right before the bridge. groveport, state and county. 4. in the parking lot of the chuch at rager rd. groveport and county. 5. rager rd has a small bridge right when you turn off of 33 on the church side. they will also sit behind the guard rail so it hard see them. groveport and county. 6. just past the speedway at bowen rd you cross into fairfield co. be careful around that right hand curve because the county like to sit there. it is a favorite of the scale enforcement SUV and sometimes a cruiser. 7. just past the diley rd exit in the middle. state usually. then, of course, the area that has been discussed. 8. there are two allen road intersections. allen used to make a 90 degree curve and crossed 33 twice. the 90 curve was 'cut off' by 33 and now is like two different roads. the second allen rd, on the closed off part that was cut off is where you may see the county sitting to the right, back off the road close to the railroad tracks where you cant see them till it is too late. 9. just down from there is pleasantville/lockville rd intersection. they will sit on the right back behind the trees so you cant see them. this is a favorite of the state and they get a lot of people there. i've seen 2 there at a time. carroll, county and state likes this stretch of road and i've seen 4 LEO's pulling people over as soon as they let one go. 10. just past the carroll light the state likes to sit in the middle right where the bypass splits off. 11. the state likes to sit on the entrance ramps on the coonpath, 188 and 22 exits on the bypass. you wont see them as you approach and they will shoot laser broadside. 12. i have also seen them in every turn around on the bypass. toward the end of the bypass there is a big hill. they like to sit at the bottom of that hill. you will see state and county in cruisers and SUV's. city of lancaster is not out there much, if at all. you can get away with 5 over, but i wouldnt push it much more than that. i run that all day and they dont even look at me. hope this helps...
