loud-pipes-save-lives crowd "It literally makes me angry when people make that point... it is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard in my entire life" I wholheartedly disagree. Based on my own experience I invariably get pushed off the side of the road every time I have a new bike that I havent put pipes on yet. Keep in mind that Im on bike..idunno 14 or so in 26+ years of riding. So this is many occurances over many years. It is absolutely true that the louder pipes make people aware you are there when they otherwise may not have realised it. Now granted, my primary motivation is performance but the other is definitly an issue and part of why I want louder pipes.

The McBros stock is not a less expensive pursuit than the AICS....(unless you have the talent and tools to inlet BM and bed it yourself.)

"Half of the HOG guys (girls) buy all the HD garb so they can pretend to be men." Its funny because its true hehehehehe When I had my Hayabusa, my wife kept trying to buy me Busa Garb. I kept telling her no. I told her I know what kind of bike I ride, I dont need to look down and read it off my shirt to remember hehe

HA! My brother always breaks my balls for my 1986 black leather jacket I wear when on the Ducati!!! But I feel like I need that think ass leather on that bike. (Lesson learned crashing at 130mph!!!) Here's the rides. Harley cruiser Suzuki muscle bike Italian goodness. Mines the red, my brothers is yellow

HAHAHA. It's human nature to divide, exclude etc etc.I always find it interesting from a human behavioural perspective. I consider my self a free thinker and an independant. I buy what I want and I ride what I want. End of story. But I will speak to the Harley VS Jap thing for a moment. Although I have nothing against Jap bikes (obviously) I do not care for Japanese cruisers. This actually gave me some introspective conflict. If I truly do not care what others think, why would it bother me to ride one. In the end the conclusion I came to is that its not because its Japanese, its because its a copy. If Hyundai built an exact replica of a 69 Camaro that was even better than an original one, I couldnt drive it because its a nock off. But back to the factions, I have found that ALL interests have their wannabe poser faction. But these groups are usually fairly easy to pick out as indicated above. About the only article I have that has a manufacturers name on it that I wear is my Ducati jacket. But it is because my brother gave it to me. But it is truly funny and I get odd looks from other riders when I ride my Harley with my Ducati Jacket LOL.

Sounds like a lot of you have grown up!......which means......whats wrong with me?

KAC propriatary gas system on SR16, SR15E3 and SR15 E3 Mod 1 FOR THE WIN!!!!! Anything less and your just a poser dentist with a Harley! Whoops wrong forum! :D :D

That has to be at least 1 Matty power at the rear heals!

Glenn, our cars are limited to 155 arent they?

Keep in mind guys that bikes have a pretty good error going on top. I love it when guys on 600's tell me they were doing 191 cuz the speedo said so. On a closed private road of course 08 Busa racing my much lighter brother on his R1 about 180 corrected for error. (into the 170's to many times to count) 7000lbs of Dodge Ram racing to the hospital, GPS indicated 105. M109R about 125 when yer feet start getting heavily blwon off the foward controls Ducati 1098 on one wheel, 110 unintentionally! 2 wheels about 165 but dont have much seat time on this one yet. Harley Street Bob about 90, nuch much point beyond that.

From a purely cost perspective I do not find that it is any less expensive to build it yourself. In other words you really dont spend less unless you buy less than ideal parts. But the flip side to that coin is that since I am building it for myself, I can lavish as much time, detail, polishing etc etc I like as I have no bottom line to protect or deadline to meet. So to me the pistol I build has a far greater value for the same cost.

Here are some of my issues. This one is more an open carry vs concealed carry issue. There are a lot of lying scumbag people that can put you in a bad situation with LE right quick when you have that minor altercation OUTSIDE your home but on your property. All they have to say is you pointed it at them even if you didnt. They can see your armed and make it easy to get even with you if they are devious(the fact they are trying to steal from you implies they arent the must upright folkes). LE rolls up on the complaint and your indeed carrying, I think you will get a ride to the pokey. Do you really want to be removed from your house leaving loved ones alone at a bad time? Brandishing: It is a worthy topic to discuss because like BLF, I feel it is important to understand as well as justified escalation of force. If this is not given its due consideration, it puts all our rights in jeopardy. So understanding the difference between justified escalation of force and brandishing is important. Remember this is not a moral argument, its a legal one. And the legal ramifications in this state, if you get it wrong, are a strong consideration. So if it was me: intruder in the house Justified man taking scrap not justified man attempting to take generator in a emergency putting me and family at risk presents some situational questions like if it was night or day and if he did not flee the second he realised my presence. But generally speaking, justified. These are my personal opinions and not to be construed as legal advice.

"I WILL scare the caca out of them" How exactly?

Please dont get sucked in to the vortex of raytardation. Just poke him with a sharp stick every now and then to get him back in his lane. I find his sport of spurning thread arguments entertaining because he always comes out on the short end of the stick but never cares.

Stock, trigger, barrel in no particuler order.

If you are NEVER going to do anything in the way of customising then if you like the browning better, roll that way. But if you want access to the ginormous sea of aftermarket parts then the Remy is the way to go. On top of that many smiths dont seem to want to work on Brownings or Rugers. Another option is the FN SPR which I would take over the remy. But I digress, what are you looking to do with the rifle??? This will factor in.

its got the sheath on it I think.I will give credit where its due, he is a good sport. And from when I first met him to now his knowledge has matured. But like most of us, we have a ways to go

Hehehehe there it be! Awesomeness nirvana right there!!!! Thank you!

Ray, you dont have a hair on your ass if you dont post up a pic of your pistol with the bayonet you had!!!!!

Romney only signed that in agreement with the gun rights orgs of that states approval. H esaid in an interview that both sides met with him and hammered out that agreement. So I dont think its accurate to hold him out there as an anti when he has publically stated he is pro and that he signed with the blessing of the gun orgs of his state.

Thanks for the update. I was thinking they may have switched because I heard from HK that tan HK45's and 45c's are comming out at shot show. So I thought maybe this was a pre release pic.

Whats the source of this pic? Looks like they are ditching the spiderweb gripon the HK 45?

Ray your just being retarded. It would bring the heat from who exactly? I think your perspective may be clouded as I speculate you feel the 5.56 an inferior combat cartridge. I do not. And judging by Travis wacking Taliban at 800yds with a 5.56, im betting he does not either! The POINT is that in 300blk you can gain more with pretty much no penalty. Your comment about just using a 308 makes it clear you do not understand what you are talking about. If you dont knock it off I will have to bring out pictures of your pistol with the bayonet on it Ray!!!

Ray, are your implying Travis is giving a thumbs up to a product as a way to boost the industry? I think you better rewind and reassess. I am not saying some salesmanship doesnt factor in in many facets of the industry. I agree this is rampent in magazines that have paid advertisers. Its why I havent purchased a single mag measured in decades unless something I did or a friend did was in it. With that being said I think it is unfair of you to make that implication in the case of someone who has been there and done that and has the experience to give a real world assessment of something. As someone who trains mil personel etc etc I think his credibility is worth more to him than being a schill. A different Travis vid to give you some perspective. So Rachel Ray, get back in your lane will ya!
