i say we just drive the aircraift carrier right back up in there, and park it in their faces, see if they make good on their threats...

#thread title Don't want a pickle...

Fairly common service, my aunt has a tire guy that stores her summer tires in winter and winter tires in summer (she buys them all from him) and he offers unlimited free changeovers so she only has 1 set of rims... they get remounted and rebalanced every november and march

you're closer than I thought, mike... But there have been nights I was afraid I would get stuck out here riding my snowmobile... no way I'm taking a family car with blizzaks out on a night like that, especially down roads like allen-comp, russel, guest...

rwd V fwd V awd V 4wd is a different issue, I'm just talking tires. I'm not trying to argue with your experience, just going by the tire company's own disclaimer that blizzaks are NOT for harsh winter use, and the reviews I've read regarding studded tires that are endorsed by their manufacturers as harsh winter capable.

only problem I have with blizz is that they are not studdable... so they suck for ice compared to a good snow tire that IS studded. you might look at firestone winterforce, or if you really want to go crazy, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta is supposed to be the absolute best winter tire available... (keep you from getting stuck when you are trekking backroads in my neighborhood)

I'm a different case, I go with 2 different vehicles, winter time I have winter tires on my ugly luxury sedan, summer time I have avon storm 2 ultras on the XX, and all season/MT tires on my buggy... during the summer, the caddy sits most of the time, and on the rare occasion that I do drive in the summer, the snow tires work fine.(heavy rain, etc)

no expungement? I thought there were only a few cases where expungement wasn't an option...

I think scruit hit the nail on the head, the only other option I see is the passing of national reciprocity would give his lawyer grounds for appeal... thusly being re-tried or sentence reduced to time served or similar... it would then also be grounds for expungement later on... lots of red tape and BS, but it could theoretically change his outcome.

this^ my dad would probably ride it more than me...

this^ rock the throttle, they probably can't catch you...

looking good mang

I think civil rights is a much closer comparison than the ones you were using (child molestation and murder respectively)

Why is that sad? Because all of the people that love me unconditionally don't necessarily share my DNA? Seems a little strange that you would use the word sad to define my family, but ok... But what about all the people who have gone in the opposite direction? Like myself? I agree, we have gone a little off topic, but not too terribly much, and I have gotten the answer to the question I asked... Social conservative = theocrat

My buddy has a wrx, he does the 2 sets of wheels, star spec in summer and snows in winter. Doesn't bother re-learning the tpm system for winters, just deals with an annoying light for winter.

nobody said you had to trailer to florida... just wear your gear...

ditto

My own desire to purchase not withstanding, it is a pretty bike, I just have higher demands on what I ride because if how I like to ride. If I couldn't twist the throttle and scream through the gears, and be honestly thrilled by the speed, I'd probably not ride near as much as I do now. If I couldn't jam the right bar, and drop into a corner at speeds like I can with my bike, I'd probably not ride near as much as I do now. If I couldn't kick the shifter 3 times and leave nearly everyone in my dust on the freeway, I probably wouldn't ride near as much as I do now... It's pretty, but that's not enough for me...

nice try, but it was just recently that marriage was "defined" as a man and a woman in many states, and it was just recently that DOMA came into play... family (to me) means a collection of people who love each other unconditionally, I'm related to several people who I don't consider family, and there are those that I consider family that share none of my DNA. ahh. the "no true scottsman" fallacy... I know of several people who are gay, and christian... isn't the only requirement of a christian that they accept jesus as their personal lord and savior?

kinda looks that way, doesn't it? virginia company, virginia transient.... not ohio

welcome noob! banter we have, whether or not it's thought provoking is up to you.

wait...wut? No, you're obviously opposed to people having their rights based on their gender... Prohibiting someone from marrying the person they choose, simply because that person happens to have the same number of X chromosomes.and we haven't even gotten into the murky stuff yet... What if the woman wanting to marry a woman happened to have a sex change operation (born a man, is now a lesbian) the persons have similar genitals, but opposite chromosomes... should they be allowed to marry?

ha!

definitely fury...

no thanks, I'd rather have a bike that can take a corner at greater than idle...
