Probably tutored in that by Aquib Talib. (Remembering the flagrant and intentional tackle by facemask that Talib executed in SB 50 while with the Broncos.) At least Coleman didn't stomp on his legs after he was down like Suh would have counseled. Disclosure: I grew up a Rams fan, but they have...

I think I was between 115 and 130 (indicated) pretty much the whole way from Ely to Tonopah on my '05 in 2014. Fueled up in Tonopah and might have spent an extra $2 for not having a sixth gear, but embarrassing myself by dropping the damned thing while doing slow figure 8s in the Chevron lot had...

Yep - that game was decided by the refs. Not really a close call as it happened, but the replays showed it was even worse.

Good GAWD, Don!! You need help. And this time, you can't even count on Ray to do the wrenching (no doubt the bike would be "stolen" from his shop and he won't know a thing about it). Unbelievably fine specimen of a gorgeous motorcycle, though! Are you out of garage space yet?

Have Wilbers rear shock that was exactly as MCRIDER007 described in his excellent first post. Though much better than the '05's OEM shock, it was badly undersprung and commensurately llacking in valving match-up to the point of scraping the header collector on my Muzzy 4-2-1 system in hard...

Combination of that scenery and a song I hadn't heard in years brought a wave of emotion, Don.

Hmmm.

Yep, the buyer will be guilty of theft, maybe even elder abuse for taking advantage of an aged seller. Ballpark guess is that getting that suit new might cost 6 times that much, depending on a couple options.

When and where was that photo taken, Bust?

Wish I could have split lanes like SacMike on I-80 in my Subaru going to Napa and then home yesterday. Dang, that traffic will produce a headache stuck in the middle of the stopping and then surging lanes.

Don was one of a kind. Hard to believe it's been three years, and all that has gone under the bridge in that time.

. . .

WET, mid 40s, nearly impossible to light a fire outside, but have one going in the wood stove.

Well, 7 days after the all day chipping job that finished off my 9 month defensible space project here, ~50 miles south of the Camp Fire, FIRE SEASON IS OVER !!!!! Yesterday we got a real soaker from the heavens and more is in the forecast. But for those who have already lost their houses and...

Exactly, Doug. Well written article. My Dad was a firefighter for 33 years, most of it as an engineer (drove the truck and operated the pumps distributing water). He was on some of the big wildland fires in southern Cal back in the day and it was a blessing to have his direction when we had 3...

LOL that you picked up on that. I used to get accountants' end of year opinion letters for HOAs about liabilities, assets, etc. There was one sheet of it that took no position on anything, literally said nothing, but that satisfied some reporting requirement. There's the model.

Even if tariffs commence, there's no way to know how long they will be imposed. Taking your comments together, therefore: if your aging self installs stale (tariff fear) tires when there is no longer a tariff price on fresh tires, you will have also lost the interest you failed to accrue if...

yes. no. maybe. that should pretty much cover all the potential answers that are not political. You're welcome, Don. Now to make some popcorn and start an over/under pool about how many posts this will go before a lock down. The wild card is that you put it in "off topic discussion," so a lot...

YES to what TomInPA said. At your weight, an OEM shock (even if it is in new condition) is going to be woefully undersprung. And YES to how sensitive an FJR is to underinflation of the tires F/R - should be between 42/42 and 40/40 for the sweet spot. I like 40/42; much under 40 on either can...

Having just finished (2 days ago) my ass kickingly large 9 month long defensible space project, I'm still in fear of fire, of insurance cancellation, of unaffordable premium hikes. (FWIW, on my SS income, I paid for and worked hard on not only my place, but my non-participating neighbors' places...
