The Sv1k comes with previous gen gsxr600 forks, fully adjustable, but not upside down forks like most modern bikes -- the sv650 is the nonadjustable bargain bin suspension, not the 1k. I don't know how much weight, if any, you'd save upgrading the suspension. Are they heavy? Yes, but if you rode one, you'd find out they carry the weight well and handle ALMOST as good as any middleweight or 1000cc i4 bike. I think you might be putting the cart before the horse here... Unless you're specifically going to race it, I dont know why weight is a serious concern for a standard-type street bike.

That's what I do. I'll negotiate over email or txt (so I have it in writing and can refer back to it later), and then settle on a price before i go look at it. If everyone was in the up-and-up and the condition was truthfully represented as they say it is, then I hand over the cash, test ride it, and they sign the title over.

There is no 2nd gen SV1k. They were the successor to the TLS/R line and the body and chassis were homogalmated into the second generation sv650 line, when they gave the 650s fuel injection. SV1ks always were 1000cc FI vtwins, but the sv650s were carbeurated until the second gen in 2003.

Hey inya, why so serious?

Ollie at the blacuweather forecast says 'it's gon' rain!' I'll be too tired to make the meetspot in the AM. Ride safe NEO crew.

You have to take a lot of those with a grain of salt -- a torque wrench is a tool that needs to be properly used/stored, a lot of those people don't.

That's too bad, because if you're off case rd, you're probably less than 2 miles away from me right now. You could be my new "tire change guy" after the unfortunate circumstances with Jeff (cf7x) You're a lot closer too.

Then you're gonna have to get into different classification of animals... Are dogs/cats (most common domesticated pets people have) on the same level as sheep, rabbits, cattle, snakes, parrots, rats, gerbils, or goldfish?

Your ass. Wait, nvm, I thought you asked how to holster it.

I lived next door to her growing up. Very nice girl.

No. But, it was attempted to have this discussion on the radio yesterday afternoon. If you take out the sick subjective opinion on this type of behavior, what exactly are you harming? I'm not gay, but I wouldn't outlaw it. I'm not into erotic asphyxiation, but who am I to judge the people that are? Animals can't give 'consent' per se, but that a derived concept from human society. If a male animal wants to have their way with a female animal, it will. Unless the female physically fights it off. The major issue I see is harm to the animal. I'm assuming, based on physical size alone, that human reproductive organs probably aren't going to harm a horse, sheep, or large dog. Smaller animals, it would cause harm and the person should be charged under animal cruelty laws. I'm just trying to take the psychological/emotion bias out and look at it from an objective perspective. Not all states have bestiality laws, so do you think gov't should regulate morality or not? That's really what it boils down too. It's sick, gross, not my 'cup of tea', but those are generally just popular opinions -- and as long as there is no harm done, why is it our job to regulate this kind of deviant behavior? 'Public shaming' and being labeled as a 'sheepf*(ker' or whatever should be enough of a deterrent that we shouldn't have to legislate it... gov't should stay out of our bedrooms (and barns apparently).

***NOT CONDONING THIS BEHAVIOR*** But, for discussion purposes and strictly from an OBJECTIVE point of view, if the animal isn't harmed (in this case there was 'bruising' which would heal) -- why should there need to be bestiality laws? To each their own, no?

Rep. Matt Lundy, Gov. Kasich at odds over info release http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2011/06/17/rep-matt-lundy-gov-kasich-at-odds-over-info-release/ Oversimplified Summary: Kasich doesn't want to answer a FOI request because it's too arduous and irrelevant, and it was only asked for to play political games. Lundy says those records (especially the emails) are supposed to be open for review and this is just another indication of lack of transparency by Kasich.

A friend of mine is one of the local news reporters down there, and she got tasked with interviewing the guy and researching his fetish. She said it was pretty mortifying to sign up for some of the bestiality forums and things. She posted that she used the password: ThisIsForWork for all her accounts.

If I couldn't find Mobil1, Valvoline would probably be my second choice. JASO:MA2

Wow... quite the thin skinned shark tank over there.

I'm only in it for the reception gifts and health care.

Hyperbole. This is true, and I've been waiting for the day where I'd be been called out for it. I haven't become a supporter for the same reasons I don't lobby politically beyond my speech/time. Promotion is a type of in-kind contribution that isn't recognized as easily as the value of a monetary one, besides any asshole can donate money to a cause -- its where you spend your time and your lifestyle that shows what you really support, but c'est la vie.

crb is posting in some of the same threads I am... he's STALKING me.

I wonder if Casper can look up those stats? If you don't count the neg rep I left IP after he busted me for my post about tears and climaxing... I think I've only used it once or twice ever. And I'm guessing it was on Todd#43 after he started using it.

Dammit, I forgot to put yours in here. Touche' good sir. Problem is, I can tell when someone is taking it serious.

I wouldn't even be able to get outta bed anymore, knowing I just peaked at life. Everything else for the rest of your years would just seem so.....mundane.
