And now I have a new goal.... :D

They make itty bitty kiddy dirtbikes :) get the wee ones into it first!

This matches my feelings exactly the few times I have ever used martial arts in a conflict - in the moment it’s fine, but SUCH an adrenaline drop after you start shaking and get a little pukey. And then you start thinking about everything that could have gone wrong... Glad these were not armed rednecks!!

They are kids. And you are part of the problem.

Thanks for the rant (seriously). We are supposed to be trying to rehabilitate offenders to reduce recidivism... Scare them a bit, sure, but ultimately we want them to grow up and become productive members of society, right?!?

Such BS. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. My wife is pregnant with our first and we are lucky enough that she will not need to work, but does that really make it better? I WANT to catch my daughter eating dirt in the back yard.... But if the neighbors catch it we go to jail on some trumped up charge.

Dude, on the Merritt?? That is no place to be with no brakes! (not that there is a good highway for it, but...). Love that road. Miss the road. Not the traffic.

Honestly I don’t know - I have no idea of values for used GW’s in general, or F6B’s in specific. It doesn’t sound that bad, and it’s an over-engineered Honda so you don’t need to worry about an expensive waste.

Q ship FTW.

GW’s are outdated - last real refresh was 2000, the audio /infotainment is OLD when compared with HD or Victory (or certainly BMW). It’s really heavy and does not make much power given the displacement (105hp out of a 1.8 flat 6?). The stock windshield sucks and pushes the wind/rain right into your face.

Sure sounds like it...

Not the way it’s mounted. Transverse.

I have a friend who bought one (he loves his toys) but never rides (not the bikes fault). I took it out a few times. A great, yet flawed motorcycle. The BMW will likely be vastly superior.

+1 interwebs to you my friend. But you owe me a keyboard....

It’s a difficult line to walk. No reason at all to go to the moon when people are starving right here, but what about all the amazing technologies that benefit everyone? And the pursuit of true science? War motivates technological and industrial progression, but we can all agree war is bad...

Yurp. I will carry sometimes, but certainly not for something like this, a one in seven billion chance...

Objectively, according to every fact checking organization of any repute, she lies significantly less than he does. Does not make her acceptable but facts are facts.

A lot like my parents Deer - A-B-C for range, 1-2-3-4 for gears. Then a power-reverser for forward / reverse. So yes, you can indeed pick C-4 for reverse when you REALLY NEED TO LEAVE...
