Cheap foam on rides I expect to be more than an hour.

It wasn't about annoying people, it was about combating a straw-man that tonik was drenching in gasoline.

The whole of Congress gets an insane amount of vacation time, regardless of party affiliation.

How old is your daughter now? I think the last time I attended an OR event, Carrie was pregnant... It has been a while.

He says as he's posting in the same thread... Don't post and ride, people get mad about that.

Again, "banning" guns isn't necessarily the best method of "gun control". These micro-examples aren't necessarily telling since gun regulations aren't uniform across state lines, and there is no patrolling of these arbitrary state borders. You can drive from Ohio to Chicago or Ohio to Detroit with a truckload of legally purchased guns, and nobody is going to stop you to inspect your Ford for weapons at the state or city border. As for government officials exempting themselves from gun laws, Democrats aren't alone... Georgia's "guns everywhere" law doesn't include the government buildings where the law makers work...

Lots of intelligent controls in Switzerland that the NRA would SHIT THEIR PANTS if we ever implemented here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Switzerland

You mean where all guns are registered nationally, and ammunition is highly regulated... Yeah, that's an effective gun control system.

Well, their homicide rate is much lower than ours, so fashioning weapons out of non-weapons seems a less efficient way to murder people in the long run. "My side" well if I have to answer for everyone on the opposite side of the political spectrum, it's going to take a while. My position has largely remained the same. Gun control measures, when properly implemented and enforced reduce homicide rates... Guns are very efficient weapons for killing lots of people. They're not the only weapons, but they're the most common used here... If you take critical statements like this about guns personally, I'm sorry. I wasn't ever talking about you, I was talking about the gun. It was designed as a weapon, developed as a weapon, manufactured as a weapon, marketed as a weapon, and sold as a weapon, and I don't think it makes sense for people to have easy access to these weapons. They make it too easy to kill people. And it's easy to blame a "crazy" person or a "bad" person but accidents happen, emotions cloud rational thought, depression can cripple someone's judgement temporarily, and I think we should make it harder to end a life, not easier.

Not the argument... Guns are too ubiquitous, and too easy to acquire. Gun owners aren't more likely to turn violent, just more likely to cause multiple deaths if/when they do. Pit bulls aren't more likely to bite you than a sheltie, just when they do bite, they cause serious injury/death, where the sheltie may or may not make you bleed. It's not the individual, it's their destruction potential that is the concern.

Less interesting victory vision.

What Virginia Tech learned about how and why we crash our motorcycles
magley64 replied to Casper's topic in Daily Ride
There are legitimate reasons I cross center. I do it way, way more often in straights than in corners. -

I prefer right turns for this reason, you can use the whole lane on rights when there is 2 lane traffic, and not on lefts. -

Agree, if unintentional, that's a problem. -

Interesting... I do cross the centerline intentionally at times, so I'm not sure that should be classified as a "near crash" in every instance, but still interesting. -
I thought we had Russian police, suddenly.
