Good start. 3. Wonder if the EPA approved . . . you know, the oil leaks.

I agree. It is nice to know that something has happened, but the real payoff is what happened and how/why? In this case we've surmised that these folks were riding two abreast. Could be, but that alone won't cause an accident. Did someone run into the rider and force him into the truck? A throttle stick open? A brake lock up? These are the kinds of things I think the ongoing investigation will reveal. Now, having said that, I am certain that no one on this site is trying to scare anyone else (and I'm sure it wasn't the intent of Chabicheka's comment to accuse anyone of it). Please keep us posted on developments in this investigation. Thanks.

Hhhhmmmm, did we just prove his point? Do what Yammer suggests, post it wherever you want; the moderators are very good about moving things to where they need to be.

One other possibility is the printers are set to "draft quality" to save ink.

I agree, the RLP method works. It appears to me Lilbeaver addresses this in his second paragraph, "Keeping the engine speed up . . .". But then I'm not a scientist, but I worked with many rocket scientists in the 80s.

2010 VV Tour ABS Ocean Blue . . . it's the perfect combination of the RSV comfort and the Raider handling, both of which I owned before buying this one.

LOVE F1!. I, too, am starting to get the shakes. Agree, used to be more driver, but then what sport wasn't? I have mixed feelings about all that; mainly, why not let 'em have the "help." That way the constructors' championship would have a little different meaning. (I guess that would require lifting all restrictions on the build, eh?) Like other sports, too, everyone has to be judged in his/her own era. I remember seeing Jackie Stewart at the Fuji Speedway (Japan) in the early 70s, and, wow, how talented that guy was. Don't know how he'd stack up against the drivers of today, though. Anyway, thanks for the memories.

I notice there are several flying fans on this site and thought I'd let you all know that the museum has updated its WEB site. It is now a "walking tour" and pretty realistic. http://www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/full/tour-pkg.html

How important is reading the display? I've had 3 GPSs and never looked at them--listened only. Made it home every time. (OK, I did look to set up the destination, but never when in motion.) As far as water-proof, a sandwich baggie works fine. (Yes, I'm cheap.)

Flip the picture horizontally and it looks a lot better.

It's how I get mine in and out of my garage every day. Gotta' get that thing cleaned out.

If you live near Augusta and this isn't true, keep it to yourself. This makes my day! Guys ought to be more careful when they're running with knives . . . Maybe if he'd not accidently stabbed that Cpl, the Marines might not have chased him and he wouldn't have fallen. Funny how things like that--unintended consequences--happen, isn't it? Also, I think we have a new definition for "loser." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AUGUSTA, Ga. - A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern Georgia. Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that the man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting a laptop under his jacket at the Augusta store. When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door. Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service branch's "Toys For Tots" program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be severe. The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken leg, possible broken ribs, assorted lacerations and bruises he obtained when he fell trying to run after stabbing the Marine. The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until police arrived. The Richmond County Sheriff's office said it is investigating. And the investigators found out it happened just like the Marines said. Must have been a nasty fall! Semper Fi

Don, if that stuff is anything like my diabetic retinapothy treatments, I'd like to make a minor correction to your description: That was NOT a needle they put in there to "drain the swamp," it was a garden hose. The injection to neutralize the chemical . . . I had a similar injection, but it was a cancer treatment drug (fairly new) to stop the bleeding in the eye. I've had a crap-load of laser surgery--both eyes--and the other type on the left eye, and will have to have more at the end of September. Overall, ain't doin' that bad--can still ride, drive, etc., unless I want to use it as an excuse for not doing stuff. AtlantaDragonslayer, you weren't by any chance uploading 50 cal ammo on a B-52, were you? That was fairly common occurrence on the a$$end of the bull.

I do it because the pre-Honda-era bikes I owned in my youth weren't dependable enough to trust that they would keep running at "idle throttle position." (You remember them, the ones you rode 1 day and tweaked 3 so you could ride 1 more) I wanted to know the engine wasn't dying at an intersection, or especially when negotiating a tight/slow turn. As for drawing attention, I'm way past that point in my life--don't give a damn who looks/or doesn't look and go "ouuuuhhhhhh." Your question makes me realize I don't really need to do it any longer, but I'm sure I'll keep it up--and, no, I don't own stock in an oil company. EDIT: What Sylvester and Pegasus said--I didn't see their responses until just a minute ago.
