Just like the F-22 funds were cut to fund F-35? And in the end, because of people with no patience or vision we will never again have a 40 year program like F-16.

This is a cruiser. You aren’t supposed to turn much and definitely not supposed to accelerate when trying to do it.

The good ones just flash a couple of times when the brake is first hit, then the light goes solid until the brake is release. Shouldn’t be that bad.

Where I live, turn signals are not required equipment on a motorcycle. However, if they are installed they must work.

I think they installed the engine facing the wrong way...

something’s wrong. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. The current political system is set up to be exploited by those with money. It practically begs for it, and it brings out the worst in the players and the people keep reelecting them. I don’t know how to fix it other than to tromp all over free speach by banning contributions and…

There is a competition for somthething I think they are calling T-X to replace the T-38 in the training role. I think they are talking about an award in 2017. Last I heard it was the usual suspects with some international sidekicks, Lockheed - KAI, Boeing - Saab, and Northrop - BAE teams plus maybe a few other dark…

Apparently there are people that like to get a “real” simulated flight experience, not by trying to re-create the dynamic aspects of flying a plane, but rather replicating the tedious aspects of filing flight plans, navigation, and communicating with air traffic control. They actually have regular people who are…

Spent a year in Endicott on the souther tier. I don’t ever need to go back.

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.

You may chose to infer what was not implied, as you like it

This sounds suspiciously like Dr. Strangelove.

Wait, which flaw am I not willing to admit? I will admit to being drawn in by trolls too easily. And I will admit that my responses turn to the Dark Side(TM) when that happens. However, I have trouble taking the response to my earlier response, to which I responded, seriously when the respondent totally ignores the…

Here we go. Ignoring the point because you found a way to be outraged. I wish I could say that was a new one. Your manufactured outrage is so far off that I can’t tell if you are trolling. In any case, rather than explaining it to you, I will suggest that you remember we are talking about being critical of an art form…

See, now was that so hard? ;-)

That’s like looking at a painting and saying it needs more yellow. Why does it need more yellow? Is it too dark? Too cool? Is it not true to life because nature has more yellow? How would it be better by having more yellow? Otherwise it is just a subjective observation. You can say it needs more yellow, and not…

Meh. A genuine criticism would be that “more women would have made the film better in this specific way...” Not that “there weren’t enough women in the movie for the sake of having more women.”
