I think that's what Trump is or trying to do and he's getting push back
He's got a plan! What have we heard from anyone else? Just distracting issues!

If I were to be president the first thing I would do is to lower the corporate tax rate to bring back manufacturing to this country. This would also allow domestic company's (including foreign companies operating here) to invest some of there money into updating outdated manufacturing practices to become more completive and hire more people,
Then I would secure the energy sector so the manufacturing base can purchase the energy it needs from domestic sources creating more jobs.
Then I would lessen the (unnecessary) choking restrictive regulations that inhibit growth.
Then I would level the playing field on foreign countries that undercut Americas products by paying there workers pennies and placing huge tariffs on our products such as steel. That way when the companies invest in growth they'll buy American products creating more jobs here.
After these are in place I would come up with a plan to develop this countries infrastructure. That way the companies now encouraged to operate right here in the United States can competitively supply the products needed to bring the countries infrastructure back to competitiveness and supply those products creating even more jobs.
That's what I care about. That's what is good for all people in this country!

Frankie55 I must have missed your intro and I see you are a newbie to the forum joining this month. Welcome aboard! Buckle up. This is a fun place and you just might meet and make some good friends here!
Still a great big welcome however I did not realize I put this in this somber thread. Didn’t mean to ....
Many thanks SoCal. Didn't take long to realize its a great community! I'm sure I'll meet some people here down the road!

“Weather Tax” - don’t give em any ideas
but that’s the best spin I’ve seen in a while - that’s funny Hah, Idea is already taken. New Jersey is working hard to compete and we don't have 11 months of good riding weather. Just to note, Jersey does have pollution issues that need to be addressed but come on. Taxes are ridicules and keep getting higher.

exharleyrider As I see this I have tears in my eyes. It's hard, very hard. Over time the hurt will eventually turn back to look upon fond memories of the great adventures shared. Would you give back all that love over your friends life to spare this heartbreak?
I would not. My thoughts and prayers. The process is peaceful.

Happy Birthday ConnMan, enjoy!

I don't know what to say.
I drive my sling pretty aggressively and have even had it on road courses in turns up to 90mph. I have never had an issue and like rabtech I am using the Haltech ECM
I think that once you know your machines limitations you have to learn ho to drive within them. It is a feeling "butt thru the seat connection" between you and your machine. When they are not in sync - bad stuff happens.
Flying buy the seat under your pants, or driving in this case!

Free College???? Our public schools are tied down with "NO Child" left behind. In most cases we are dumbing down are education to meet the needs of a very small percentage of our Kids. Free college will just dumb things down a little more.
(most of you know I'm a residential painting contractor----but few know BA in math education, MA in Ed Amin, etc) So just a little knowledge about the education system.I forgot to mention. No surprise here. Always thought you are wise beyond your years!

Display MoreAllIn5450 you are injecting politics and money into it.
As for the coal industries demise, blame fracking and much cheaper natural gas. You want a free market and then cry when that free market kills an industry. Place blame in the right place in the future please.
As batteries come down in price and technology increases, as is happening now. It will naturally lead to the demise of fossil fuel driven vehicles. As range increases and charge times come down, only a fool would prefer gas to battery. Increased power, increased and instant torque, lower 0 to 60 times, less pollution, higher tow ratings...
There will be those secretly paid by the oil industry telling the American people that the "greenies" are killing the oil industry and waging a war on internal combustion engines. When in fact, "greenies" simply sought to find a cleaner way and that way is producing better numbers in every category and the free market is deciding fossil fuels future.
You may argue that clean energy is getting plenty of government help right now. It is, but so has the oil and coal industries for decades.
Wolf, I'm with you on these statements. The environmental industry can work and that's great! Not only is it good for all of us but companies can increase profits through energy reductions and increased efficiency.
I just think taking away the choice isn't the way to go. Offering people options and cost saving ideas is. It's how this country use to work but I see that changing.

What about the military? Two of the largest benefits are education and health care. The military will collapse and fast unless you greatly increase the pay, adding more ever increasing taxes or an automatic draft that in my opinion won't work. The military is ever increasing in need of highly trained, skilled people. A short personnel turn-around would not be good. Would the younger generation agree to a draft? Not so sure.
It appears the country is changing. But so fast, might be a good idea to think things through.

I like the idea of environmental responsibility. The government should and does support environmental responsibility. There are executive orders in place now E.O. 13834 (Efficient Federal Operations) Trump & Formally E.O. 13693 Federal sustainability in the next decade (Obama).
Things are happing now but at a pace industry can handle and survive, in many cases make money. That's a good thing!
But In my opinion with most instances if the private sector can make money it will. If it can't, it won't. The new proposals are way radical & incredibly expensive. What if they themselves aren't sustainable? Are they going to put our industry at such a disadvantage it crashes? Something to think about?
Keep in mind our fun machines use fossil fuel. Driving a slingshot might be a crime in a few years!

First I'll say it's not a comparison but I'll also say its never told. Other people hurt too. My grandfather & grandmother came to this county from Poland, the only memory I have of him is lying on a couch coughing up black soot from working in a coal mine seven days a week, He died when I was 5 years old. Coal company paid him then he paid the mortgaged on the house to the coal company that owned his house. Bought groceries from the grocery store owned by the coal company that also owned his house. Then he got up the next day only to go down into a hole that few will ever understand how bad the conditions could be so he could get another pay check to pay the mortgage and buy groceries from the coal company that owns his house and the grocery store he bought groceries from .
No question it killed him and at a very early age. I went down a mine and it sucks! You can't see five feet in front of you.
Anybody care? I surly haven't felt that way?
-
Some good points offered here. Perhaps it's more of a question of being in toon with the "feel" of the machine & the situation. When expected situations arise and the driver can adjust and react with anticipation it may be better with traction control off? On or off I do like Big Dogs input of backing of on the throttle, steering into the slide then finessing back into control.
Keep the wheels on the road and the feet on the pegs. Oh wait, we've got three wheels. Guess that's a really good thing when it comes to hydroplaning

Frankie55 the first link is a PDF of our intelligence communities original assessment and what led to the long investigation.
https://www.google.com/search?…id=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
I think, with Comey's help the Russians succeeded. If you paid attention to the polls during the election, Hillary's numbers went down Everytime an investigation was opened and up when "no wrong doing was found". If I recall, the last re-opening (Emails on Weiner's computer) was about a week before election day.
These were all emails stolen by the Russians and given to Wiki Leaks to disperse at key moments.
"no wrong doing was found" it is illegal to transmit any classified information using a private server. Transmitting even sensitive info is reckless and the third in command (secretary of state) didn't know this? How did Weiner get this info? Did he have a need to know or did he get it because of illegal reclass behavior? He had to get them somehow? How did he get them?
Wolf, I'll gladly but you a beer and call you a friend but it still doesn't answere what Russia said/did that so dramatically changed your opinion.
-
Wolf, I'm open to different views, but I'm specifically interested on what would have changed your vote or anyone else's? I'm not a member of the intelligence committee so this whole report is nothing to me. It informs of something that Russia did. But what specifically did they do to influence.
The most important point I'm trying to make it that since it is in past tense everyone must know what so dramatically influenced the vote?
I honestly don't know and at this point its a blanket statement/report. So... because everyone is pointing a finger. At what?
-
For two years I have witnessed constant attacks on President Trump and indications of Russian influence on the election. This Russian influence must have been very dramatic, can anyone here please inform or quote specifically what Russia has said/done/printed that changed their vote against any democratic vote in favor of President Trump???

Display MoreFrom the Owner's Manual:
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Switch
The ESP is active by default. This feature helps reduce the risk of accident by providing traction control and stability control. If ESP senses a loss of stability due to loss of traction (skidding) the ESP intervenes by automatically applying brakes to one or more wheels and reducing power to the rear wheel.
The electronic stability control system does not compensate for, or reduce the risks associated with:
• excessive speed
• reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces
• poor judgment
• improper operation
• hydroplaning

I could very well be wrong on this but my impression of "most" electronic traction control systems is in the ability to regain lost traction using the process of limiting drive power to the slipping wheel. I believe this is done by cutting the ignition to alternate cylinders thus reducing the power output to the wheel allowing it to hook up or buy reducing the fuel flow to cylinders.
I know of some braking EBS (anti lock) used on aircraft and motorcycles that use a valve to pulse the hydraulic systems using quick grab, let go & grab again that allow to wheels to anti skid and hold traction.

well its been over a year since I first started this thread and I am still using my little CF 1/2 helmet - - unless I can find a smaller, lighter DOT replacement in the future I suspect this will remain my daily riding hat
If you are looking for a light weight D.O.T helmet with a slim profile this is the answer. Through the years I searched and spent lots of money on helmets looking for something light weigh, low profile and D.O.T. approved only to be disappointed. Till I bought the Daytona 3/4 cruiser. It is as it claims. Best of all you wont look like the Great Gazoo! Check out the reviews.
