I was interested in this ride until you said no showoffs, I cant help showing off my 250 and making all you guys on harleys jealous.

Thanks for the advice, I'll be committing it to memory tonight.

Honestly, I find vibrations are worst at around 80kph(not terrible, but noticable), and things seem to level off after that, so the vibrations didn't bother me at all. The windshield is a bit short for me but helps somewhat. Not saying you don't feel some of the bigger trucks, but it isn't...

Anyway, so I didn't really take pics while riding, most photo opportunities seemed less attractive in the rain, especially without a waterproof camera. Anyway, here goes, in case people are wondering 'what the heck is in southern Ohio?'. The bike loaded up Sunday morning. She may not be too...

Wish I had some interesting stories for the return trip, but I don't. Some interesting things happened in Athens, but they weren't in any way related to motorcyles, and most probably ought not be repeated. Beer was $15 for a case of 30. I was happy to let people drive me around. Went kayaking...

What everyone said was 100% good advice, I had to ignore some of it due to circumstances. I did set out later than I wanted, but that was since I had obligations to meet in the morning. Next time, I'd make sure to plan differently. On night riding: I've set out on shorter trips at night, in...

Thanks for the advice, I expect the trip to be a challenge, and I intend to leave before 11am. I work 12 hour shifts, and mostly overnights, so while I do get tired, I think I can handle 10 hours in daylight. Hopefully no big issues. Still deciding whether to just throw my raingear on whether...

I figure, based on posts I've read, that some of you folks might not like this thread, but hopefully a few find it somewhat interesting. So, tomorrow(Sunday the 30th) I'm heading to Athens, Ohio, on my Virago 250. Coming back on the 4th. -800km one way. Fortunately the seat of my bike is...

I'm saying the tavor that we can buy isn't an assault rifle(Based on the lack of select fire which I see as necessary for the classification) I'm saying that the BAR is an assault rife based on the asinine webster's definition, a definition you won't admit is useless garbage. Don't try to muddy...

Alright... -So the webster's definition is important(according to you, or at the least, you never said it isn't important, and you felt strongly enough about not having said it to write it...) -Where the webster's definition does not suit your definition, you can add whatever terms to it that...

Previously: Now: You're going in circles, bud, got me confused. You're saying now that the webster's definition is not important(as I've been saying all along)?

Please list the characteristics of an assault rifle. Then, explain which of those characteristics an SU16 would not satisfy(were it redesigned for military by adding select fire).(It already satisfies the webster definition you seem to believe holds some validity)

The BAR in M1918 BAR stands for Browning Automatic Rifle. It has rifle in the name(Rifle, Caliber .30, Automatic, Browning, M1918 was apparently the official designation for it). It also fits your webster definition of assault rifle. I really don't understand how you fail to see that and the...

Alright, I don't like the loop I seem caught in here but here goes... You already seemed to agree that you could take a civilian semi-auto and redesign it as an assault rifle by adding a characteristic such as full-auto. And yet(according to what I understand from you) remove the...

You have gone from saying that there exists some definition, to pretty much saying an assault rifle is whatever you feel it is(clearly you were unable to defend the definition you previously held as the final word in definitions). Which is fine in a way, just don't bandy around the idea that...

From the link: This definition does not rule out m14's, as they are semi-automatic (or auto, depending on vintage) and use 'large capacity' magazines. Sure, while they don't fire an intermediate cartridge, and are widely considered main battle rifles, your definition puts them in the assault...

I agree that the redesigned version with select-fire would be an assault rifle. But that would not make the previous models (similar in every way except for lack of select fire) into assault rifles overnight. Following this, the 'redesigned for civilian purpose' AR15 is not an assault rifle, it...

Thank you for your service, you're probably a better man than me. Couldn't figure out a way to ask this without sounding more argumentative than I wanted to but here goes... The SU16, by your definition(and mine) would not be considered an assault rifle. You would not consider it an assault...

Sounds great, too bad I have to be in Toronto Saturday morning.

New to the forum, and to riding. Glad to be here. Just picked up a Virago 250 recently from a great member, cknowles. Been enjoying riding, and will be commuting between Toronto and Arthur pretty frequently this summer. If you see me, wave! I'll be the guy going the speed limit.
