I’m going to apply just so that I can say I tried. Not sure if I’m the most competitive but who knows. I do have a MSME degree. Thanks for the heads up.

They are pretty fun to ride. Its a different experience. I like attacking corners on sportbikes, but riding a foot clutch is just kind of fun. Taking off initially can be a challenge. Its not like you’re out there to go fast on one of these bikes so there has to be other things that make the ride enjoyable. It might…

Far better? I highly doubt most people would distinguish much of a difference between either one. Tire rack says the ws80 blizzaks and xi3's perform almost the same. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/te…

Do you really care that much where you would personally call the cops? I don’t feel bad for him if he gets in trouble, but this just looks fun. You know what snitches get? Stitches Ralph, they get stitches.

Thank you! Who the fuck cares? Its like people getting all butt hurt over a few motorcycle wheelies.

I guess that’s where our fundamental differences of freedom lie. Personal freedoms trump a lot, hence the bill of rights. I don’t think either one of us are lawyers, but Id really like to know the actual charges they would file. I’m just glad I dont live in that joke of a state/city so I’m really not losing sleep over…

It’s essentially the same thing. Its limiting your freedom of movement. There are lots of rulings about interstate travel. What if you live in NYC and want to drive somewhere and have a vehicle capable of it. I wonder what the actual charge is and how it would play out in court. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the…

Can they legally keep you under house arrest? How are medical professionals supposed to get to work for example. Freedom of movement is a pretty big deal.

My argument makes sense. I always thought that the law didn’t.

My comment was purely to highlight the difference between helmets and seatbelts. Without a helmet you are no more of a danger to anyone else. Your example might apply in a code black situation but that’s a bit of a stretch in my mind. Some hospitals have this problem a lot but I am not sure how common it is overall.…

What about this article that came out last year saying fatalities dropped in 2014? Also, do you have any idea if the number of motorcyclists are growing? http://www.freep.com/story/news/loc…

The difference is that an unbelted person in a vehicle becomes a projectile to every other person in the vehicle during a crash.

It looked like he had weights out to the end of the bar with no room for them. Not a great idea obviously.

I think he had so much weight there was no room for clips, and they just fell off on accident.

nice!

Why is everyone talking about regular gasoline? Am I the only person on here that has a tune for 93 octane? I paid $2.01/gal last night in Southwest Michigan.

This is from Bubba’s bike

Correction: I’ve been told it’s blue and slightly darker blue now,

I was really waiting for you to get to the benchmarking point. Its not really spying at an auto show. Every manufacturer knows that everything seen at the show is now public information. Benchmarking is very important to drive competition. I think its pretty cool that it can be done out in the open without anyone…

I agree, this season is going to be a great one. It also makes the picks for my rocky mountain fantasy that much harder though. Not sure if you’re in on that but its pretty cool.
