I was an avid hunter when I was growing up, mostly squirrels, rabbits, and quail. Then I got to the point I didn't want to kill an animal especially Bambi. THEN, many years later, I was working in Nebraska and one night I was headed to my AutoCAD class at Peru College and a big buck ran into my car in a 35 zone in Peru Nebraska. That is when I decided that deer were so stupid that they were meant to be eaten. I still don't hunt but I would hunt deer.

Ibuprofen is the most effective pain killer for me if it isn't a nerve causing the pain such as sciatica pain. Nothing seems to help sciatica.

Sounds like you chose well 19 years ago! Congratulations!

Seems more and more NC members are signing up. One member lives close to Fayetteville, Hdhr or something like that.

I read the article. When I opened the photos, I double clicked on them and they were large enough to read. Very Interesting Reading!!

Great Story! Jay Leno was always my favorite late night talk show host. Only problem might be, driving that 707hp Challenger may be more dangerous that being in combat. I don't think I would have survived if I had it at that age!

Freebird told us how to turn it off. Go to Settings at the top of the page and then scroll down and select General Settings. Scroll down until you see the option to exclude links to classifieds and ebay and turn it off.

It may not be illegal but if one of those tires blows out and causes an accident that hurts someone, it makes you more liable and you will be sued. You won't be able to blame Firestone for that one. And speaking as someone who has been sued due to my son's car accident and feared that I would lose my home and everything else I owned for about a year before the case was finally settled you don't want to go through that. My insurance co. mishandled the case so badly that they ended up paying 2 1/2 times my coverage to settle the case. I hired my own separate attorney and he was prepared to sue the insurance company if they didn't pay the settlement due to their mishandling. They ended up even paying for my private attorney. I was lucky to get out of that one unscathed financially.

Those P205s are 3 sizes smaller that the P235s it requires. The load ratings will be 3 sizes smaller too. I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the risk.

The Kawasaki that I bought, a Walmart brand AGM which was made by Yuasa came with the acid separate. I had to add it just like the other bike batteries. So if that is not the case with yours, just keep it on a battery tender I suppose.

I'm glad you were able to stop safely. I suppose it's a big no no to touch either brake pedal in a situation like that. Tell us how you were able to stop without dumping it.

One my 3 yr. 8 month job in FL, I was working 6 12s for 14 months towards the end and I quit exercising and walking. I started to get an irregular heart beat especially at the end of the day when I was tired. After that job ended and I came home I started exercising, got my walking routine back up to a 50 minute as fast as I could maintain walk 3 times a week, and lost about 25 lbs. No more irregular heart beat after that. It's amazing what exercise can do for you. The 50 minute rapid walks also reduces my cholesterol levels substantially. I'm 70 now and if I don't exercise, I will turn into a vegetable pdq.

So many times, members post such good information that I would like to thank them! I also like the "Like" feature. Very good additions to the forum!

Congratulations on finishing the iron butt! Sorry about Lee. I hope he doesn't have any permanent injuries.

You should read the comments posted under the video. The cop was suspended for 30 days without pay and the kid filed a lawsuit against the cop and the dept. The video only helped the cop get suspended. In my opinion the cop should have been fired. We don't need people like this enforcing the law which he clearly wasn't doing.

As always, we really appreciate the photos, Puc!!

Depends on which way to choose to use from Phoenix, the way we went. coming in from the east on 260 it is a straight road. 89A from the SW is crooked.

Some parts of the country are full of thieves, southern FL for instance.

I drove to Jerome from Phoenix in a rental car on my way to Monument Valley in Utah last May. Had some barbecue. Definitely a great place to see on a tour.

That was fun to watch. I wonder how many times he crashed during the course of making this video!

Thank you for the interesting article!

Cowpuc, please keep us updated on your healing progress. Your Venture Rider family cares about you!

We should call you Kid instead of Skid! You're the young pup!

Must have been that frying pan to the back of your head when your wife tried to get you to slow down during the summer trip! Or maybe it was thermal shock from eating too much ice cream too fast! I seem to remember that George Clooney had that problem a few years ago and look at him now. I'm sure you will get well fast! Best Wishes for a speedy recovery!

Well after all the worry on my part about rain, it didn't rain a drop on me going or coming. It was great meeting some of the forum members and we also need a photo of Skid. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e369/RR322/IMG_0358_zps2a125da2.jpg?1415758601814&1415758602137
