What I do? Let me know so I know what to stop. I thought I was just goin with the flow of the way everyone else talks around here. 16 post and no profile, your not to be taken seriously. Ghostpilot and parahog are the same. I would add DanJohnson, as well as a view other screen names that no longer appear, to the list.

And he should oppose any such program that awards based on the color of a persons skin. Affirmative action devalues a more able persons qualifications and allows those who are less qualified to rise above without contributing to complete a task, or doing the hard work required to rise to the top. A persons value in the work place should be based on their qualifications and abilities, not on the color of their skin, gender, or religion. It's funny that a conservative would use something like this to belittle Obama. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

So, what is/was your almighty, loving God's intentions when he turned his back on the millions of children who have been raped, abused, starved to death, enslaved, murdered... (the list is endless), over the many years? Were they only to have faith that this good guy in the sky will swoop down and smite their tormentors? Or, maybe all of the children who have suffered had no faith and what became of them was their punishment? Good intentions in thought is only that, in thought. Without action, it is the delusion of a sick mind that a god would never leave or forsake us. The horrific conditions that so many children have to endure, the world over, is evidence of that.

UPS pulled into the driveway just after 6pm. She hands me one box, the battery. I ask whether there is another box. She said "no." Damn, no tires. She tells me they should be here on Monday. Went for a nice ride and now I am going again. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Jclalor said no such thing about scripture. What he did say: So when God tells me that as a test of my faith, I should go grab the kid and a pick ax and head for the hills, and he'll explain the rest later, I should comply? Coming from you, the King of the Twist, that's funny. However, please continue. Your delusion is highly entertaining. I'm out of here for now. New battery in the bike. Going for a ride.

In your examples, you have established a timeline by referring the upcoming Christmas as 'this', and the current, or soon to arrive weekend as 'this'. Therefore, next is being used in the proper context. If, let's say, on Monday a friend said to you that they will call you 'next Friday', you can expect the call on the upcoming Friday, not two weeks later. If the case were they would call in two weeks, the proper use of 'next' would be "I will call you on the Friday after next." The proper use of 'next' in relation to timeline has been discussed on a number of word usage forums. Google it.

No...because that would be inconsistent with any principlal derived from scripture. Whatever voice you may have heard that told you that was not from God. So who was it who commanded the Jews to kill every man, woman, and child in Canaan? The O.T. is filled with commands from your loving God to commit murder, rape, and to enslave. You really should read the book that you refer to. Or, maybe you only refer to the new and improved God in the N.T.?

explain how this is stupidity? do you think everyone who wants to see obama get defeated in the next election is stupid? If it is his wish, I take it as he does not care anything at all about the candidate other than it is not Obama. And, no I do not view everyone who does not wish Obama re-elected as stupid. I would hope that their decision is based on the candidates ability and not solely on emotion, as this seems to be.

The alignment suggestion was a good point, but not the issue, in my case (or many others.) I don't do burnouts or ride her hard. My old 91 Fatboy, I rode extremely hard and did burnouts and still got great mileage on the 391. The issue is the soft compound. I don't see H-D addressing the issue anytime soon as dealerships make a lot of money on pushing the tire on loyal customers (and there are a lot of them.) I'm not a big fan of the dealerships and always wrenched at chopper shops. I turned down parts swapper positions at two local dealerships as they tend to focus only on the money and not the love of the bike. I went through the Motor Company's marketing classes a few years ago and the focus was to push the H-D brand aggressively at any cost (which is understandable.) H-D controls everything that goes on at a dealership, from where products are placed on the floor to what type of lighting is used to highlight products. Dealerships are closed if owners do not perform as H-D dictates. They are cut throat and that is a shame as the love is just not there as it is in a chopper shop.

Have you had the bike checked for alaignment? It sounds like your bike is eating tires, and it didn't used to do this and it's not a high horespower machine, so maybe the problem isn't the tires? I'm a certified H-D tech through the Motor Company. I do all of my own work. My bike is in perfect alignment. I'm not the only one who has been complaining about the durability of the Dunlop rear tire. The issue has been discussed on H-Dnet over the last few years. You won't be able to get on H-Dnet as you have to be a tech to do so, but you can see what others have been saying on any of the H-D forums. As far as H-D is concerned, the Dunlop provide superior traction over other brands. That, and H-D invested a substantial amount of money and research into the tire that carries their name on it. If you were to ask me, and many others, that is bullshit (it has more to do with marketing their name alongside a recognizable name, Dunlop.) There are other brands that are comparable, if not better, than the Dunlop. It's only a matter of trial and error to find the one that can withstand the conditions in which you ride. Mind you, I ride on extremely rough roads. They are mostly chat. It's like riding on a rasp file. Still, others who ride on more favorable roads complain of getting less mileage on the Dunlop of more recent years than they did on the Dunlop of earlier years. Wrenching in shops in this area, tire longevity is a major complaint. It's no surprise that the Dunlop is not a big seller. Yet, complaints are just as many with other brands. It is understood that the trade off with greater tire to road adhesion is longevity. Yet it does get into that wallet far more than it should. If I were road racing the bike, I'd prefer the soft compound, but I am not, so I'm looking for a harder tire. As I stated in another post, the 391 that I ran on my Evo in the 90s would average 10-15,000 miles (that bike tipped over 100hp on the dyno as I built the engine for speed.) Very few are claiming that on the 400 series. As I said earlier about the Dunlop with H-D's name on it, the same goes with H-D oil and other lubes, as well as their branded battery. It's more about marketing their name as none of those items are any better than other brands. I've never used H-D's oil. I've used Castrol in my bikes for over 30 years and have never had any issue. That said, I have always ran the Dunlop as I never had any issue with them, until recent years. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

32% is an extremely large number for one single cause. To say that there should be no law against drunk driving is ridiculous. It shouldn't be singled out. If a person wants to talk/text, eat dinner and watch a DVD while driving, they should suffer the same consequence as the drunk driver. I'm sure that you know as well as I do that the worst can happen in a blink of the eye. Add in all of the distractions, someone dies. I hope the asshole was charged for manslaughter. States are only now enacting laws to address the problem of distracted driving. http://www.distraction.gov/state-laws/ "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

I've yet to read anything bad about the Kenda Kruz. Everyone running them say they are extremely happy with them. If I get more than 3000 miles on the back, I'll be happy with them until I swap for the Metzlers or Avons. They're due to arrive on Monday.

You say some really off the wall crap. This one is right at the top of the shit pile. http://www.centurycouncil.org/learn-the-facts/drunk-driving-research#888 According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 33,808 people died in traffic crashes in 2009 in the United States (latest figures available), including an estimated 10,839 people who died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. Drunk driving fatalities accounted for 32% of all traffic deaths last year, that is, on average someone is killed in an alcohol-impaired driving crash about every 50 minutes in the U.S. (Source: NHTSA/FARS, 2010) "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Do you think Obama will go golfing this weekend?

It is insane. Elvin would lose everything, if he did not plant. He's the same age as I am, 51. He's been farming since he was old enough to drive a tractor. It's all he knows how to do. Most of what he plants is field corn. Part of his crop feeds their hogs, while the rest goes to market for livestock fodder. They're not growing for human food, but for feed for livestock, which is equally important. Farm subsidies inflates food price, land value and encourages over-farming. Much of what is farmed goes to waste. Subsidies are great for the corporate farms, but does nothing for the man who works his fields from the early morning hour into the night. Subsidies are equally great for the land owner who never plants one single seed. Again, they do nothing for the farmer who is looking at the sky hoping for rain. No rain, no crop, no pay day. The millionaire who collects subsidies, yet never plants a seed, does not have that kind of worry. Slashing subsidies would save billions for the taxpayer. The money saved should then be directed to those small farms that keep a farm community viable. Ask him which program? Dont get me wrong, I dont agree with it either. But for some programs, I think you would be VERY surprised why the pay them So kallend, which program? The big one in Missouri is the ethanol program as field corn is a major crop in this state. I would think it is the same in Iowa. As for Elvin, he does not produce enough to qualify for the subsidies. He farms less than one fourth of his property. A good portion is wooded and along the river, which is not great when it floods. He depends on running the combine on other farms. That was his father's money maker, and now he depends on it. This year will probably be a bust for them. As for the ethanol program, it has done nothing in regards to lower fuel price as was promised when it began. Further more, it artificially raised the cost at the supermarket for food, even though it is dent corn that we consume, not field corn. The program should had drastically reduced the cost of fuel for farmers. It did not. It only put more money into the coffers of the huge corporate farms. My dad farm acreage near New Point, MO. for a good number of years. His major complaint was fuel cost. After a major flood wiping out their crops, he called it quits as they couldn't recoup their loss. He now owns acreage in the northeast part of Missouri, near Mark Twain lake, and leases out a portion to another farmer while he boards horses on the rest of it. He makes good money doing that and does not have the headache of an uncertain market that depends on the weather and congress. Besides, he's 77 years old and can't spend much time on the tractor these days. As for me, I've never had any desire to be a farmer. To many debts and heartaches.

I scrape the boards from time to time, but these days, I'm more conservative in the way I ride. Maybe it's just age. When I was younger, I didn't think twice about going full throttle into a curve, pulling the front end up on the freeway, or standing on the seat on the freeway. Same is with most of my old buddies, and yup, they are getting old. Between 50 to 70. My old clubbers bros who rode the, balls to the wall, no front brake choppers are now on FLTCUs and taking it slow these days. It's a wonder that most of us got through those early years intact. Man, what a fucking great ride it was! "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

"I was horrified," McMillin told KVAL News. "I am embarrassed." I take it, she got a glimpse of herself in a mirror? "I hadn't done anything obnoxious or outlandish," McMillin said. Possibly, not.

Lower tire pressure is a no-go in drag racing. The low pressure causes the tire to deform and allows for less friction and more side play. Hence, the tire now has a longer patch (more flat) to overcome (torque is used to overcome the flatter patch instead of efficiently used to propel the bike forward.) Plus, the side to side play, due to the low pressure, is time lost. This equates to a slower ET. You will get more friction and a quicker ET with a slightly higher tire pressure.
