NJDMV Rant - This state really does bite
Live shops with people in them, none that I know of anymore. Used to be C&C cycles in Bound Brook & Bill Farber in Edison. That was pre-internet. C&C is long gone, the owner died, I beleive Farber is gone too, or moved. There also used to be an old junkyard shop on Rt. 46 in Saddle Brook, but that was in the late 70s. I usually use British Cycle Supply, they are based in Nova Scotia, and have a US warehouse in Hackensack. I can get stuff from them next day by normal UPS, if I call in an order before noon. Others I use are British Only, MAP, and Walridge. There were a number of smaller ones here & there out of state, but I normally deal with those couple. I got my Bonneville just as I met my 1st wife. She never did like her, used to blow fuses (the bike!) when I would ride two up.

NJDMV Rant - This state really does bite
Ha! Mines a 78 T140v also. Have had it since 1991. Used to ride it all over the place, but now just sometimes. I has it down to bare metal an split cases about 8 years ago, powdercooated frame new cams, crank BAL, Boyer + mitymax, new amal concentrics, valves and guides discs brake cylinders, exhaust. And a completely new wiring harness as well. Latest buy is a silver and blue tank I will probably put on this weekend Add some sundries from bcs that are showing up today---gotta love that nj warehouse of theirs--- And I will be back to commuting a few data aweek with it. Since the rebuild have about 10k miles, so stuff is breaking again. I still have most all of my old parts, pm me if you have a specific. But my old loom is as bad as yours was im sure. No time for old.bike stuff now, sadly, kids take up all my time

Bidding on a Federal Contract?
Political contributions are not an allowable cost in DoD contracting at least. The one commenter on that article brought up a very good point, the slippery slope here is eventually the political contributions of employees may be considered as part of the contract award process.

Your FIL seems to like you quite a bit to give you a piece like that, one that is a rechambered GI receiver. You should of course give him something he would appreciate in return, like maybe grandchildren, or more of them, if you already have kids. And take him to teh range, pay for the ammo, let him shoot your toys, if you don't already. Perhaps go to a CMP match?

BHP New or Old?
Mulling over what to buy next in the handgun dept, I currently have the Browning High Power as top 9mm candidate, then a nice (~$1500) 1911 in 9 or .45 and a P220 on the short list. For whenever I get around to applying for the Golden Tickets . I was hoping that maybe by now there would be some real movement to lose the P2Ps, but alas, this is still NJ. Prolly look to star the creaky wheels of (in)justice this fall-- Anyway, regarding the BHP, are the new ones manufactured now any different from the older (say 10-20 yrs ago) ones? Have there been any substantial changes that make an older one more desirable from a reliability/functionality POV? I would likely buy a standard model, no fancy stuff right off the bat-- TIA----Matt

Dick's, East Hanover
I am not surprised. What was surprising to me was that there was a large chain store actually wiling to sell firearms/ammo in this state. Once they made less money than it was worth, they decided to shut them (that part) down. Remember that many Dick's stores in NJ were Guylans at one time also, once taken over by Dick's, they became more subject to Big Corporate decision making based on numbers alone. Probably since firearms and ammo sales are down since the Obama panic of 2009, there is too much overhead involved in maintaining FFLs in NJ, vice the returns. Yes, it is intentional by design in NJ. The rest of the stuff in their stores is crap, mostly cheap chinese junk. The running section is overpriced garbage. Now they can dedicate the former "Lodge" spaces to selling cheap NY Yankees ( or Mets or Jet/Giants, whatever apparel to suckers. I really don't care if they survive or not.

My new acquisition from the CMP trip
Eh, maybe. Have been trying to weasel a trip to Benning for a couple days to get to the South store. Really, it may be about the same, figure fly to ATL early, drive out I-20 to Anniston, 3 hrs, maybe, pick your stuff out and either check it or ship it. Assuming you aren't buying a ton of ammo, just a rifle or 3.

Thinking about leaving Ford and going to BMW
I have NO idea what all of that is saying but it seems to me that unless you sell a lotta cars, like 10 per week, and make a lot on each one, the whole thing is a gyp for you. Is that the way all car sales operations are? I have only bought 3 new cars in 30 years of driving ( 2 of which I own right now), so I don't deal with that much.

The Lautenmummy is an animated corpse at this point, kept 'alive' by a secret cabal of liberal vampires and funded by the rounding errors at ADP (Lautenberg's company, for those that may not know) a la Richard Pryor in Superman III. Adler was also the OGAM tiebreaker, IIRC. Sorry he died relatively young (for nowadays), but I have known younger people that died from similar causes.

Thinking about leaving Ford and going to BMW
Is that take home per week before any comissions? Looks like about $6/hr or $8 if normailzed t a 40 hr week. Do you sell a lot of cars a week? Just curious, I have never worked in car sales or retail or for sales commissions before
