    Goodbye Deeley?

    Whatever explanation gets published, if you cut the BS its 99.9% of the time about just making more money. Why share a slice of the pie of revenue with an external distributor when you can eat the whole pie yourself. This is the world we live in. Its all about money and appeasing greedy...

    Harley Street 750 reviews are starting up again...

    The story is this. When Harley appointed the now current CEO several years ago, he looked at the all the business units and one thing was absolutely clear: The ROI on producing HD's is FAR greater than the ROI on producing Buells. The question was then, why spend money on Buell when the...

    Podcasts and audio books?

    Knowledge, whats up my man! I listen to JRE as well and I sort of agree with you. I use to listen to all of them, now I only listen to the episodes that look interesting. However, sometimes I do find that the episodes with guests I don't initially care for end up being the most interesting...

    The Ronin 47

    I dig the style of the bike, I dig the whole Samurai concept.. Its all very neat but 38k is steep especially when you consider that the bike is basically a modified NOS (new old stock) Buell 1125 with a Buell VIN (for insurance) to match.. You can buy a lightly used one for like 6K these days...

    Anyone here into Vinyl?

    Vinyl has withstood the 8 track, cassette, and CD. I think what is happening now is that new vinyl releases and reissues are really emphasizing the stance that the album is a collectible artifact. I see a lot of releases in collectable boxsets, coloured vinyl, 180gm heavyweight vinyl as well...

    883 harley

    Im with the rest of the posters that say ride what you want and just enjoy whatever motorcycle you buy for what it is. There will always be somebody with a faster, bigger or more expensive bike so why view this as a competition. Motorcycling is only a fashion show if that's how you view it...

    workout machine weght...

    When it comes to machines, the pulley system has a lot to do with how heavy the actual weight feels. The more lines and wheels, the easier it is to lift the actual weight. I don't quite know why they would calibrate a machine the way you are describing but my best guesses are that it either has...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    No dude, that is not the case. Krill Oil contains EPA/DHA like plain old Fish Oil capsules but it also contains antioxidants (Astaxanthin) and phospholipids which plain old Fish oil caps do not. The buzz has absolutely nothing to do with fishy taste, rather it is about Astaxanthin. This is...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    I think whether or not you experience any difference in feeling/gym performance, supplementing with Fish Oil is a good call for general health. I'd be surprised if you felt any different honestly in the gym but I imagine better nutrition overall really should impact how you feel.. I have...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    I just wait for a sale at Costco then buy a bunch of the 100% Wild Fish Oil caps. They are already fairly priced and on sale, they are pretty good value. They are a blend which typically includes anchovy, mackerel, sardines and Alaskan salmon. Costco also have caps with just Alaskan salmon...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?167085-Fish-oil-supplements-yay-or-nay My opinion which is almost worthless to most is that we are better off just sticking with fish Oil supplements to get Omega 3s. Forget about 3-6-9's or even Flax Seed Oil. Really no point in Flax Seed...

    Northern Luzon (Philippines) Ride Report

    Knowledge,I guess I am late to reply RE Cambodia. I actually just got back from Australia. I was there for all of January. In Cambodia I liked Kampot/Kep. Bokor national park with the old abandoned stuff is kind of cool. I did not really like Sihanoukville. It was "ok" but there were a fair...
