Sometimes driving slow is more dangerous then driving fast. It all depends. Driving slow and hanging around heavy trucks will increase your danger zone by 50%. I drive within the speed limit and if everything is right sometimes 5 over. It just all depends on everything. I drive according to the conditions sometimes fast and sometimes slow. I'm a defensive driver and always have been. I can say I have had a bike all my life and never had an accident.

Thank you for that answer, it has been floating around for years. Better to ask it here then another sight, honesty is the best policy

My question was about "moderators" not the administrator. Can moderators read my private messages I send to other members?

Question: I hope no one gets offended, but my curiosity is getting the best of me. Question after reading the post on: Please Read! Regarding private information. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56688 Can moderators read my private messages I send to other members? I did read under Reading and Posting Messages http://www.venturerider.org/forum/faq.php?faq=vb3_reading_posting#faq_vb3_mods_admins What are moderators and administrators? Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other actions. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating. Administrators are the people who have overall control of everything that happens on the board. They oversee how the board is styled, what forums to create and how to organize them, what information to require from members and who to appoint as moderators.

Sleeperhawks Mechanic NC New Years Day 2011 Pictures

Nice pics Bobbie -
Hello Elder Here is a good test you can do to check it out. But after 3 years I would think it's time for a new one, this is call preventative maintenance. Make sure that the battery is fully charged. Disable the engine from starting. Next connect a volt meter to the battery. Now crank the engine for 15 seconds and watch the volt meter. The volt meter should not drop below 9.7 volts. The higher the volts the stronger the battery. If the volts drop below, or close to 9.7 volts, there is something wrong with the battery, replace it. With this test you are checking the load needed for that system to start that engine. You are also testing if that battery can handle a load. I have used gel batteries and did not like them. My favorite is a liquid closed vent battery.

Could someone please help me find a post. Yesterday I was reading a very interesting post, we had to leave so I booked marked the post. When I returned I just couldn't find it. The post was on somthing like any leo's out there and what to say and what not to say when pulled over allso the ten rules which you might want to memorize by a 33 year law enforcement veteran and former training commander with the Maryland State Police and Baltimore Police Department and narrated by former federal judge and acclaimed Baltimore trial lawyer William Billy Murphy Jr. I did find the sights: http://www.independentamerican.org/2010/11/16/10-rules-in-dealing-with-criminals-with-badges/ http://flexyourrights.org/10_Rules/Murphy Thanks for your help. AL Bates P.S The post was very interesting to me and seeing both sides and some of the real experiences that each side have to offer was great. If I do ever get stop again I will place my hands on the wheel and roll my window all the way down and turn on my inside lights, most of all I will be cool, calm and respectful. I wish the post was still here i could have learn a great deal more. Note: hot heads deleting post do nothing for the sight. I wish they would check with the boss first. P.S.2 Infomation in post like the one that got deleted may help to keep both sides straight. No mater what profession there is always a small percentage that will stray.

Very well said!!!!! But for me, no one is going to beat on me, when there's a conflict I say nothing and walk away, if that don't work and if he jumps on me and after he takes first swing, that's it. I will defend myself any way I can

The Flip-Flop I spend a lot of time at gun ranges and was amazed with some of the stories I was hearing. To make a long story short around 50% of the folks I talked to had some way been victims. After hearing a few of these stories I decided to listen to as many of them as I could. When a new face walked in we got to talking and I asked, why are you here, each and every time it was because they had been a victim of some kind, most of them would say never again. This got my curiosity and by listening to them many would tell me that they were against guns and a law biding citizen carrying a hand gun. But after becoming a victim that all change. Now it's all about protecting yourself. Well it's what I call the flip-flop being total against guns and only after becoming a victim did he /she flip-flop and now all for carrying guns. Just remember bad guys don't have or care about laws, they carry anyways, bad people will allways have guns. Carrying a firearm is a huge responsibility. Knowing when and how could save you and your love ones. I have taken several Training and Tactical courses most of them in the military. I'm also a reloaded.
