Minor point but no permit is required for carrying in the vehicle.

I’ll go and say completely off the wall random shit too. Does that mean you will vote for me?

Your argument falls completely flat for two reasons... 1. Motorcycle blogs are read mostly by motorcyclists, not by your average cager so it really doesn’t have the significance you try to put on it. 2. The mainstream media already reported this to more average citizens than Sean could hope to reach in an entire year.

smoked a token amount

I was actually referring to the LRLAP with the 100+ mile range. I believe that you are correct on Excalibur cost being around $100K, but I had not heard if the extended range version has entered service. I would believe that the $20K version was the one with no boost (~15mi range) but did include a guidance package.

To accomplish the same job, a destroyer needs to fire a million dollar missile (compared to what, 5k for a 16 incher? 20k guided?) that takes 10x longer to reach its target, with less explosives.

In other words, the dogfights of the future will look nothing like they do today.

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.

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…

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.

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.
