eye protection being a legal requirement in every state.

Sadly, I got my first bike cheap (a used GS500) and rode it for two years before deciding I knew enough to buy a nicer bike. Then, practically the first thing I did was drop the new bike (being careless) in the driveway. I can still feel it in the pit of my stomach when I think about that first time with a brand new…

Seconded. They offer classes like the BRC2, ERC, Bike Bonding, Total Control, etc... They have some of the same exercises as the BRC, and some more advanced, but you do it on your own bike, which can be very different from what you rode in the BRC.

This sounds suspiciously like Dr. Strangelove.

Yeah, the LRAP rounds for the guns are practically guided missiles and cost about 1/3 of what a Tomahawk costs.

Bruce Jenner had all the advantages of being a white guy. He had a pretty good career, but it was essentially over. Now, Caitlyn has seen a renewed surge in popularity, which is leveraging her status as transsexual. This would not be the case if she had been an average person before, as opposed to being a celebrity.…

I am not well versed in curren Navy doctrine with regard to shore bombardment. I have to believe that the Navy put the guns on there for a reason. (No, I have to believe it. I get depressed if I don’t.)

If I recall, the Zumwalt was designated primarily as a shore bombardment platform. Submarines aren’t typically set up for serious shore bombardment. You could get an SSGN and shoot ~150 missiles at $1M+ a pop, or you can sit out and lob >1000 dirt cheap 155mm unguided shells. Zumwalt still has capacity for something…

But but but... the part I wanted is broken.

What year? I think they put that worthless strap over the front of the pillion. If so it meets the legal requirement.

Why can’t there be both?

The excuse is that they can still travel, just not by plane from the US.

They do have better defenses. I’m not sure why they are doing this other than maybe they don’t think they can be too careful.

Tried the Neotec, still pressure on the front and loose on the sides. I’ll look for the Schuberth. Thanks.

I have a narrow head. So much so that the only helmet I have found that fits is the Arai Signet Q, which fits perfect, BTW. I had wanted a modular, but Arai doesn’t make one that I know of, and nobody that does seems to make long oval.

I wear the Arai Signet Q Pro Tour. I really wanted a C3 Pro but it just didn’t fit. Even the large had a pressure point on my forehead. The visor shade is okay for commuting when you are riding at dawn and dusk and switch in the middle. But if I’m on a long ride in the daylight it just doesn’t cut it. I’ll switch over…

No, they have to be SUSPECTED of committing an offense, and the prosecutor would have some rationale (usually evidence) as to why he would be successful at prosecuting the case in a court of law. That isn’t a conviction, it is just a charge. They are PRESUMED innocent until the actual trial ends in a guilty verdict or…

He makes a valid point even if you don’t want to hear it.

Oh oh can I play? Chances are if you are using encryption online it isn’t because you are sharing cat videos with your mom. You’re probably trading child porn and tips on how to make bombs.
