Absolutely, but why bother re-engineering a bike that wasn't ever supposed to be fast in the first place? Sell it, save the money you would've spent and buy a bigger buell if you like buells, or buy a speed triple... something that was engineered to handle the power you crave.

Welcome scott! Let's get together for a ride...

LoL TL;DR

If you believe the government fears your gun, you either severely overestimate your gun, or you severely underestimate the US military... unless you've invested 700billion dollars/yr in research/deveopment and supplies, I think you probably don't have the means to protect yourself if the united states decides you are a threat to national security.

deciding whether or not we "should" is fine. We could argue over the merits of removing guns from a peaceful society all day long... It seemed more in your post that you were saying "it's too hard, we could never get that done, it would be a big mess"

oh, my link had pretty much the same info, I was just being sensationalistic, and accusatory in my description.

very hard to find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate I sorted by homicide, intentional suicide probably shouldn't factor in too much in this debate...

actually, we're definitely much higher, even adjusted for population... I'm not saying it would be easy, or instant. If it were a priority, it could be done. I'm not looking to be safer... I'm not proposing we do it... I'm simply stating the fact that as Americans, there is very little that we cannot accomplish if we set our collective minds to do it. The problem comes with doubters, cynics, and the ever popular critic, intentionally injecting their negativity into the clockwork, slowing down and stopping progress. Maybe you don't believe in this country, but I do.

yes, Mitt is "catching up" Obama still has 22x the followers...

no no, I mean full size nuclear missiles, after all it's not the fault of the tool, it's the person... that is your POV, right? It's a good idea to allow the general public to buy whatever weapons they want, right? Why not give the public the power to level a city? Can't blame the nukes, it's the bombers fault... It's all well and good to talk about personal responsibility, but eventually you get to a level of collateral damage that it becomes the responsibility of everybody. Clearly we don't all agree what that level of collateral damage is...

before or after the "s" in staffer?(depending on singular or plural) yeah fail on my part... At least I know the difference between arraignment and arrangement...

Uhh, Fox 8? did you let one of the staffers 6th graders write this?

yeah, I give the human race more credit than they are due most of the time, I prefer to be optimistic and disappointed than pessimistic and right. FTR, I do live in a world outside of my head, as well... and only rarely do they not reconcile...

I'm not speculating on the effects, nor am I supporting such an endeavor... I'm just saying that if it were to be done, it could be done fairly effectively if everyone cooperated. I'm usually on the side of personal liberty (as i am in this case), but I do see both sides of this issue.

to be fair, those that support the outlawing of guns also generally support the means necessary to enforce such a ban. this would halt gun sales, gun manufacturing, and the confiscation of any guns on sight... It isn't just "all honest people, turn in your guns now" it's more in-depth than that. It certainly wouldn't be easy, but if every law abiding citizen honestly wanted guns to be outlawed, it could be done. we could have a gunshot death rate less than that of great Britain in no time at all. You could list off any number of things that are currently illegal that "only criminals posses" it doesn't mean that it's a good idea for everyone on your block to have one. Legalizing only gives the criminals a more easily accessible supply line than they would otherwise have. if we legalized civilian nuclear weapons for example, would that make us safer?

FTR, I hadn't seen where the soda ban had actually passed, link? last i knew it was simply a proposal by bloomberg...

gladiator style with their no-mar bars! 3 men enter, 1 man leaves!

PAULY! (I don't honestly know, since i have no idea where the other 2 live. It's probably actually Imprezz, but I want to see the titans clash in ravenna)

imprezz and ducrx... but I'm sure ther is more than enough business to go around for 3 awesome independent guys doing work in their garages... if you got a victory, see ducrx, i believe he just bought the extra clamps needed to do yours.

excellent write up...

WTF? the establishment is getting punished for allowing this type of behavior to continue. Paterno can't be punished further, he is dead, therefore he has no brain activity, and can't think anything about it at all.

no word on gear?

same with "the standard" downtown LA, Valet only, I was the only exception...

or don't stop...problem solved again
