Don't know if it suits your plans, but have you considered a Ural? They're briniging out a non-sidecar version for less than 8k, and apparantly anyone who can work on old BMWs can fix 'em. You'd sure look better getting there, LOL.

Yes you are right, but you are ignoring half of the picture, which is: what did you have to do to get the money? So yeah, all other things being the same, it is easy to be happier with more money than less - but usually all other things will not be the same if money is at the top of your list...

What a happy world it would be for homeowners if the expense ended there. Lawn mower, driveway sealant, replace a door or window, fix a leak, buy a new washer/dryer/fridge/stove/furnace, repaint a room, replace a carpet, etc, etc, that renters never have to think about, much less pay for. I...

Someone once said it to me this way: "Rich people have the same problems as everyone else, just with more zeros at the end."

Happiness is the difference between what you have and what you expect. How much money that takes depends on the person. Some people expect so much out of life that no amount of money will make them happy. Others are content with so little that an extra $20 in their wallet makes them feel rich...

My condolences, but maybe you can find a little comfort in knowing this is as it should be. I've just spent the last week comforting my uncle who just lost his son. As sad as it is, a son burying his father is part of the proper march of life (not so much the other way around). Cherish his...

And therein lies the humour.

I'm not your buddy, pal. Since what I quoted is from HTA 172 1 - there doesn't need to be a judge involved for you to lose your bike. Only a cop that didn't like your little "trick" to beat traffic. I really don't care what you do. I'm just pointing out what others have already said - it's...

May not help the OP, but for those with spin-on filters: http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterXRef.html I buy the canadian tire store brand that matches the Fram # in the chart. Honda stealership wants ~$15 - cantire version costs ~$5 and is larger (more filtering going on).

No, but it could be called 'racing'.

Here's my "trick": whenever passing/weaving/merging, regardless of which lane I'm going from/to, I only do so, if I can accellerate smoothly into it. This means no one behind me has to hit the brakes, because of my manouver. Basically anything that keeps traffic rolling, and prevents the need...

Oh sweet jesus, is that what Gonorrhea does to you?

Not sure what percentage of people use them, but what about proxy servers and ip masking services? Maybe some of that 35% really is from here, but just doesn't track that way.

Well, the sane, sober advice is to not ride while distracted. But my experience is that a ride can be very theraputic, indeed. (re: Emo.... I wish my lawn was emo... then it would cut itself! Badoom-boom!)

Mirrors can't see into your blind spot, that's why it's called a blind spot. But they should let you see what's behind you, and somewhat to the side. Only a shoulder check will confirm it's safe to move over, but a proper mirror will save you from unecessarily taking your eyes off of what's in...

The one linked by rukus had leg straps. I think it would look badass... especially on an Ural bike. Get a german style helmet and you're all set.

As a private citizen who wishes to stay private, I thank you for your contribution to keeping our country free.

No, no, no, no, NO! In our private communications we should not have to worry about anyone's interpretations but the recipients'. Are people really that afraid of criminals? You'd think that random violent crime would be rampant with the intrusions of privacy that people are willing to accept.
