I think the other bike brands is what keeps it afloat and a little more active.

there's a couple/three four guys on there that have done some nice builds on the panda/chinese bike platforms in the z50 section. Also some sweet ct70's though, they tend to go for speed more than the dual performance factor

yeah, there is a lot of bling, aesthetic modifations and speed among that crowd. not the same practical approach as the ct90 guys.

They really are useful--I have one in each car, and one that I carry.

When I started carrying a handgub I stopped carrying my Buck™Tool.

I didn't think I missed it much, but then just yesterday I started carrying the Leatherman Micra that I was alerted to being on sale here in TUT and I've already used it about four times.

I don't think I need another full size one.

I thought about putting one in the center console of the Cruiser but I carry a pretty full complement of real tools in there always, so I don't need it there. I also have a real toolbox in the office and in my ManRoom.

I always carry the Buck™Tool on the weekend and when fishing, hunting, etc.

The Skeletool is really cool though.

Of course if someone bought one for me I'd be really happy, and I'd put my Buck™Tool in the Sequoia or in my fishing tackle box or something....

I'm thinking of getting one this week. Logan is playing guitar at school on Friday for their "coco & caring" deal they have every year and I want to record it.

Well, Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp.
He hunted alligator for a livin'
Just knock 'em in the head with a stump.
The Lousisana law gonna get you, Amos!
It ain't legal huntin' alligator down in the swamp, boy!

Well, everybody blamed his old man
For makin' him mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy,
His Daddy would use his for alligator bait.
Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp!

About forty-five minutes south-east of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna.
Well, they raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries.
Named him after a man of the cloth,
Called him Amos Moses.

Now all the folks around south Lousisana
Said Amos was a hell of a man.
He could trap the biggest,
The meanest alligator,
And just use one hand.
That's all he got left cuz the alligator bit it!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow!

Well, the Sheriff got wind that Amos
Was in the swamp tracking alligator skin.
So he snuck in the swamp, gonna get the boy.
But he never come out again.
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana Sheriff went to?
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana Bayou!

About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana
Lived a cat called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna.
Well, they raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries.
Named him after a man of the cloth,
Called him Amos Moses.

Set out on 'em Amos.
Make it count, Son!

About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana...

My Hammaka was on sale for like $20 I think. Amazon maybe?

They are $40 right now.

Why would it suck in sandy areas?

[DSRTRDR]

I just received a letter from the Corn Refiners Association

they want me to have some quality information about high fructose corn syrup

their mailing is designed to dispell some myths about the relationship to obesity

I have never had this problem with my parachute silk one. It breathes very well.

[semlin]

planet mini has identified the helmet as being off a 78-79 atc110. i am monitoring a headlight bucket for sale on ebay to see what they sell for.

the shocks remain a mystery.

The non-net hammocks I've used near beaches always wound up full of sand from feet, clothing, whatever. Not very comfortable if you have no shirt on.

[DSRTRDR]

so, let me get this straight:

humans appaer to like nicotine, at least some humans, so much so that they get addicted - the tobacco industry spiked cigarettes with nicotine to make them more addictive

humans like sugary foods for their sweet taste - the food industry has been adding high fructose corn syrup to food - ..........

people have been steadily increasing their food intake.......

and I am not supposed to draw a parallel here

[DSRTRDR]

and this was subsidized by the federal government

I guess I'm thinking of the canvas ones. They were not very comfortable compared to the netting ones. Again, the days I'm thinking about are 90 degrees and 80-90% humidity. With no shirt. I have not tried a silk one. I've tried one with the artificial parachute material, it was okay, but not as cool.

[DSRTRDR]

maybe I should inform the Corn Refiners Association that the person who first suggested a link between industrialized food adulteration by high fructose corn syrup and obesity was the previous director of this Center and still works here

actually, he focused on soft drinks in his first publication, but the topic clearly has wider impact....

What a sweeeeeet trigger on the thing. I've never handled a Colt revolver before. Very impressive.

Oooh, yeah those are sweet. I own no Colt products. At this time...

Come to think of it I haven't used mine in sandy areas....

[Cube Dweller]

I went with a nonfat mexican mocha, with whip.

I have no idea if it contains corn syrup, but the chocolately powdery goodness probably does.
