When he's going around the curve and a bike coming the other way, what do you think went through that riders mind? "There must be a wrecked bike up the hill." ?

A buddy of mine got one just to be different from all the rest of us with PCx. He figured out that it wasn't for him and sold it to Billy Rivas. I think Billy bought it just because he didn't have one and it was mostly black (with a yellow arrow). Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Just a few weeks after Scott Brown was elected to Ted Kennedys old Senate seat amid joyus cries that it signaled the down fall of the Democratic Party, he is now being villified as a turncoat for voting for a jobs bill sponsored by a Democrat. In another story, the resurection of the health care bill was a win for Harry Reid. No matter which party "wins" on any particular thing the people of the country lose. The partisanship is becomming like a scorched earth tactic. According to either side, the people of the other party are totally despicable monsters who could not be loved even by their own mothers. If Statesmen ever existed, they have become extinct. Or evolved into Polititians, Or maybe Polititians were created. It doesn't matter which, they are a parasite sucking all the benifit out of any situation for their own agrandizement. They see their main job as getting re-elected. Since Viet Nam, conventional warfare has been outmoded. Guerella warfare, insurgents, suicide bombers are the weapons we fight now. It is almost impossible to prevail militarily in this environment. If the insurgent doesn't lose, he beats us. If we don't beat all the insurgents, we lose. Unconventional warfare seems to be the new thing. Partisanship has become the unconventional civil war. The cancer that it fosters make it impossible to tell the good guys from the bad. Because there are no good guys. "A pox on both their houses." The polititians, corrupted by their own greed for the lobbiests money have rendered a "government of the people, by the people and FOR the people" as obsolete as trench warfare.

Go to the restroom and throw some cold water on your face. Then, jog up the stairwell and back down again. Put some more cold water on your face and go back to work.

Not necessarily "goofy". The title of the video Nick linked includes "sundog". That video had a different angle than NASA's. I think it's a combination of the sun and the shockwave creating an odd reflection. If you look at the other videos in Nick's link, there are lots them that have a visual (usually moisture condensing in the shockwave) of going supersonic. If you get a good angle and the right shockwave you can get some goofy reflections/refractions. I was standing on the causeway at NASA for the first shuttle launch in 1980 ('81?). We were 6 1/2 miles away from the pad and as the sound came across the water, it rippled as it went like a big school of fish comming our way. When it got to us, you could feel it. It didn't sound that loud, like a rock concert speaker or even a jack hammer but like you were in a bass drum with a thousand drummers beating on it. The JVC advertisement withe the guy seating in the "sonic wind" was what it felt like. That launch is one of the most awesome things I've ever witnessed.
