I watched the Dem debate for 3 friggin hours.

I see you have a high threshold for pain. Chuck Norris couldn't match that!

In my younger days I worked three jobs. For five years it translated to a 55 to 71 hour work week. I lived below my income and put the money into a retirement account. A few years back I researched locations and zoning regulations for a small business. Researched the preferred franchise. Put together the paperwork. 1.25 million! I did some hard thinking. I worked hard. I saved and I'm OK. That takes some real gonads to risk everything. I backed out.

My greatest respect to anyone who makes that choice. It's an incredible risk. I could not do it. Sad to think that in todays world taking that great risk is looked upon as if its an insignificant choice with no consequences.

Those hard choices are what makes America great!

Another shining example of anti-fascism. Anybody seeing a pattern here, over and over, again and again! If you don't share our views shut-up, you fascist!

What I would like to know is why does it seem like no one on the left can differentiate between illegal immigration and legal immigration. Why is it that every time anyone on the right is for stronger borders and better security the first thing people on the left start yelling is that they are anti immigrant - being in California it is all you hear

Its pure BS - I am very much for strong borders and I think illegal immigration poses a huge risk to our national security - - I am also very pro legal immigration - I have nothing but respect for people from other countries who want to come to this country legally and I think those who do come here legally and then do all of the work to become legal citizens are total rock stars

As a person who's wife is a Naturalized U.S. Citizen I know how much work is involved and also how much more respect for being a citizen they tend to have than most of us who just got it by birth - - - I highly suspect that Mr. Trump understands this as well, being married to a Naturalized U.S. Citizen I cant help but laugh when some idiot tries to label him as being anti immigrant every time he wants to do something to secure our borders

"Anti Immigrant"

"racist"

These are the last ditch words thrown out by the left every time they don't have a real argument based on real facts

Agreed & well said! In general people are good & I welcome people in my home but only a fool would leave their front door open for anyone to enter. In fact if I let my front door open and harm would be done to my family I'll bet the first thought would be how could someone be so reckless!

Nothing to do with racism or being anti immigrant! There is a process. Only being wise.

Quote from Edward Neal

Our governor just signed some "equal pay" bill that will apparently allow college athletes to make money and get paid for their images, names or likenesses. Now it seems to me that the only athletes who will benefit from this will be the top athletes at the top schools. No one is going to pay for this junk from a second stringer or a kid at a small local college or junior college

With this in mind it seems like this bill will only financially help those who need it the least - these top athletes at top schools are most likely already getting full scholarships with free housing and food allowances

It just seems like another thing fubared by our wonderful California government

Good point, I think this will eventually hurt smaller schools. Will these paid athletes now be required to repay any money received from scholarships?

I believe Pennsylvania is considering this also.

Summer weather & low risk of rain the slingshot always gets priority. 40 degrees & below with snow, salt laden roads or rain and the truck gets the nod.

Quote from gooseman

Not Eureka but in the Poconos I led a small group and we found a real nice road that was not winter maintained, it was paved then boom it was a two track trail   Hodge lost his front splitter on the first dip we encountered. We had to get the tools out and remove it before it got damaged too bad. A few mins and we were back on pavement and all good. All riders were glad we made it without any damage besides Hodges ( we were able to straighten it up back at home). It wasn't a planned road but the gps took me that way and like I said no real complaints but I could see some would not be happy. Can't please everyone

What could be more fun than an unexpected adventure! One thing proved is that the human mind is sometimes, maybe sometimes, never or once in a while more reliable than a GPS. Usually in my case the GPS wins. Most important is that everyone gets back. I didn't help on the way back. But defiantly had a great time. Most important it's noted that someone who steps-up & takes the initiative to lead a ride in unfamiliar territory can't be wrong only appreciated. Glad to hear Hodges sling got straightened up!

Now we can drink a beer and say remember the time....

Don't Hold your breath. Democrats are above the law.

Can you imagine if the tables were turned! Years ago the media would report the news. No more. Sad and frightening for the future.

Quote from Orangeman

.

When the director of the committee feels its his job to produce and read a "parody" of a publicly released conversation between the President and a foreign leader in public session and enter it into the congressional record it proves just how much of a pre-conceived political stunt this is. As I have said before my lawyer is a voting member of the FL DNC and if others are seeing this as he is, the Dems have made a(nother) huge error.

I can't believe this! I just saw a clip on the news where Schiff said he was OK with doing this parody!

Let me get this straight.

VP Biden and son travel to Ukraine and a short time later Biden's son gets hired as a board member on an energy company and paid ten's of thousands a month with no experience in the energy field. A former Ukraine prosecutor was investigating that same utility company for corruption. V.P. Biden allegedly threatened to withhold a huge amount of US aid to Ukraine unless said prosecutor was fired and was later fired. The fired prosecutor clamed he was fired under pressure as a result from V.P. Biden.

….And President Trumps impeachment proceeding is based upon?

No worries I'm sure the democrats and media will be pressing V.P. Biden for answers! Lets wait and see!

I think it looks like a SpeedRacer.. well a SlingRacer anyway...

I think it just looks plain cool! Enjoy!

Is it possible? Did the democrats realize former VP Biden was losing his chances to win and seized upon the opportunity to throw him under the bus? At the same time distract from USMCA, China Trade Agreement, Economy etc.?

Most ladies I know would ride with Mel Gibson any time

Quote from Red

Interesting news on the Impeachment front. Nancy calls for a formal inquiry to get to the bottom of the call with Ukraine. The full transcript is being released tomorrow, why not wait until you see it?

1. The far left will be appeased.

2. Biden will get knocked out of the race for 2020.

Nothing will get done, smoke and mirrors

I agree. I suppose this was in the works just waiting for a reason (over & over again). Possibly they didn't anticipate a full & unredacted release, or they wanted it. We'll see.

A gamble that could prove costly.

Enjoying the last weekend of summer. Riverton NJ along the Delaware river. Nice weekend in NJ.

You must have been doing doughnuts in the parking lot while it was making the web!

I have the stock 2017 ripper windscreen. Would love to get a pair of Baker air wings but not crazy about the ripper series. Appears as though the clamps are in the field of view. Has anyone ever cut back & re-drilled the mount holes on the standard clamp on windshield version for use on the ripper style windscreen outboard edge? If so wondering about buffeting on use with the ripper windscreen?

Batteries are strange. They actually put a load on the system itself. Sometimes they show fully charged but when you do a load check (if you have a battery load checker)? It immediately shows bad/drained. That could be the issue as you stated the flashers won't work when the ignition button lights. Sometimes the starter solenoid will click (complete circuit) but won't be strong enough to turn the engine. Great your uncle thought of you as the one to enjoy his passion.

I lost a brother a few years back to opioid addition originally taken for shoulder pain. While the sorrow is always there, over time once in awhile it becomes overtaken with memories of good times. Both are OK, for myself, in time those good memories start shining through & I hope the same for you and your family.

Take care my friend.

I have a few friends attending the phillies game tonight. Not a big baseball fan but thought I would watch just because friends were there, First thing I saw was former philly John Kruk suddenly wearing a bright yellow philly hat. Politics suck but they really suck and have no place in sports!

Reminded me the MAGA Rally was on. Switched to the MAGA rally to watch something exciting instead. Crowd is much more energized at the rally!
