999 cc’s and decent power are going to provide options for the bike. Not trying to go up against the Shadows one-on-one is a wise call.

I’m excited Indian is back, they need a few more good models to really break into things in the big time here. People have spoken well about Victorys for years and Polaris still gets…

I read it as he was signaling his possible level of commitment, frankly. For duty or personal use carrying regularly requires it. With the CCW people mostly just get the card and stop because its too much trouble. As long as we’re voicing opinions, I honestly am much more concerned and condescending about the open…

No, it does line up. When you need one, there’s no replacement for it. That’s the real line of the argument. Don’t wear your seat belt? Get hurt by the airbag or interior of the car. Wear it, and it is the single most likely thing to save your life in an incident.

A firearm is not a magic talisman or a passive device…

So, carrying a firearm isn’t part of a hobby because it isn’t a part of the shooting sports you value anymore?

I honestly can’t believe you got this much mileage out of an opinion, kudos to striking a nerve. Genuinely impressed, frankly, I think you generated half the replies even indirectly.

I am pretty sure we can all see who’s worthless here, internet tough guy.

Nah, the problem with Honda’s cruisers is that they last forever. Why buy a new Shadow? They have sold so many of them literally everyone that wants one can buy a used one.

Little late here (unreliable 3rd world internet where I am working these days) Anyway, I like most of what’s happening here.

Agree. Only thing missing in your analysis is how puzzling it is that the great defender of the Slavic peoples, who started world wars and drove to Belgrade in 1990’s and invade other countries to hand out passports to protect and empower particular ethnicities they denote as “Russian” ignored warnings from the Turks…

Having been in an An-2 on the ground, I would never get into one that was leaving it! Especially since there are so many stories of guys having issues doing normal plane like things- forward flight and all. The flying backwards due to headwinds shit makes my head spin.

Nice

Chinese is funny, the combos of characters can convey a meaning that isn’t that precise unless you have proper context. I looked at it and saw turbocharged, but ran it through the translator and it came out turbine supercharged, which puzzled me, until I figured that my interests had exposed me more in my studies…

Lol, I said what? Having established your reading comprehension is terrible I should not be surprised, but I am anyway. You really can’t stand it can you?

In my experience, that’s normal for armies within 500 mile radius of this event.

I think you’re afraid of many things, really. As I stated before, your obvious limitations are quite sad when on display here.

Oh, I read the book. I own a copy. Hell, people in my office own copies. This is just so basic to the premise of the topic the book addresses it isn’t necessary to cherry pick like a pencil-necked moron from selected parts of the whole book to prove the point. It covers it in the introduction.

You’re either just hung…

What is it with the Russians and immediately claiming the opposite cause for destruction for aircraft? The MH17 flight they claimed it was air-to-air shoot down, now they insist it must have been AAA or a SAM. Reading the whole “get ahead of the story” bit too literal I think.

Now, philanthropists may easily imagine there is a skillful method of disarming and overcoming an enemy without causing great bloodshed, and that this is the proper tendency of the Art of War. However plausible this may appear, still it is an error which must be extirpated; for in such dangerous things as War, errors…

You’re mostly good. In my mind the most important things are:

Seriously considering buying lamps for use here in Africa- just to aim into opposing lanes for momentary use on locals who use high-beams and off road lights to blind me.

Well, if you actually understood Clausewitz, you would never have come up with the idiotic argument that the military is there for killing people. They are there to achieve political goals with force. That often does involve killing people - but as a means, not as an end.
