    Acceleration

    Interesting figures there, Michael! Here's a few more high-dollar tidbits: Although the Space Shuttle is somewhat slower getting started, it is considerably larger and heavier, and is accelerating straight up! It accelerates to about 100 mph by the time it clears the tower. Goes supersonic...

    Newest Aft defense system installed

    One minor detail. This only works on folks who are behind you! Don't ask how I know, but I'd rather be behind an angry driver than in front of one! Something to consider.

    NorCal CHP - Using Laser on the Freeways ???

    My Escort 8500 sounds off big time for Laser! I've seen it several times on Hwy 58 east of Bakersfield. It's been around for awhile.

    Beemerdons? Mexico?

    My attention span is too short to read all that, especially without pictures! I like Skooter's version better. :clapping:

    Beemerdons? Mexico?

    If it isn't Pigfluenza, there's alot of Lead Poisoning down there too.

    Thug's New Toy

    Very nice, Thug! Heated grips, cruise control and a 300 kph speedo. Just one question: Is the tachometer metric too? :unknw:

    April 18th ride is Cancelled

    Been There, Done That A primer for those considering this ride. An awesome display of motorcycles. If you've ever wanted to see a Britten, this is your chance! Good food to be had too.
