Did it hurt? Share your 1st firearm related incident
Slide from a Walther PPK bit me, and bruised shoulder from a shotgun stock held too loosely.

My M16A1 inspired AR15
Very nice, I've been wanting to build an old style rifle with the charging handle inside the rear sight base. The upper and BCG are really spendy though.

Looking for opinion from bikers
I have a BMW and a Triumph. I wanted a Harley early on, then I rode one. Uncomfortable with forward controls and next to no suspension travel did a number on my back. And it was way too slow. I find that motorcycles with an upright seating position work best for me. I've had the saddle on the BMW rebuilt by Rick Mayer and it made a big difference.

Any tool fans?
The girl is talented for sure, but not the right song for her. Just glad she's exposed to real music, rather than GaGa or Bieber. Here's a Tool cover that I thoroughly enjoy. http://youtu.be/67rslfF-QQU

Just Right Carbine
I've got one too and I'm quite pleased with it. Mine is 9mm, would like to get the .45 conversion some day. Accuracy is fairly decent, very light recoil, feels quite similar to an AR.

gunshow today and tomorrow, best western matamoras
Last time I was there, .223 was $1.00 a round or more. Yesterday I saw it there for $.50 or less per round. Still high but better. .22 lr was still high. The stuff I saw was $40-$65.00 a brick. I saw a nice Russian SKS I would have liked, just no cash. I did pick up a knife, some targets, a flashlight for my JR carbine, and of course some venison jerky. Also, on a kind of funny note, I was walking back to the show area from the rest room and was approached by a young kid who asked me what was necessary to purchase a firearm. He looked quite dejected when I told him that if he was from NJ he needed his FID, driving licence, and an FFL. I kind of got the feeling he was trying to circumvent a law or two. I hope I'm wrong.

Do you ride...
One of my all-time favorites.

Do you ride...
If the fuel tank is above the carbs, they are most likely gravity fed. That being said, I would not be surprised if Honda did indeed use a fuel pump. Good choice with the Daytona. I took one for a ride when the demo truck was at Trebor's. It was a blast, there is nothing quite like a triple. I only wish I could have taken it on my favorite roads instead of the group ride on the boring route they planned. Oh well.

My current motorcycles. 2003 BMW R1150 RT 2006 Triump Tiger 955i. I was looking at a Triumph Sprint GT today. I'm afraid I may do something foolish soon. Edit to add: This was a breakfast meet-up a while ago. Three generations of Tigers represented by some friends and I.

Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
Well said.

Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
Well at least that's something positive.

Ok to use old ammo?
DO NOT SHOOT THAT AMMO!!! Give it to me for proper disposal! Just kidding, it's fine.

Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
3 people to a car? Yikes. I hope they give a break on the toll, what is it, about $50.00 to cross now?
-
Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
You may have missed my sarcasm. I agree with you, carguy was way out of line. To all the others that have weighed in, I am not suggesting that filtering be allowed like in the video I posted. But in stopped traffic I should be able to ride at a safe speed that would allow me to stop when a douchenozzle opens their door in front of me or swerves to hit me.

Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
Yeah but I'm not moving there. Out of the frying pan into the fire.
-
Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
Yes, please. And I do everything in my power to mitigate the risk.
-
Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
I'm not talking about filtering through traffic that's moving at 75 mph. But if traffic is under 20, there is no reason that I shouldn't be able to safely ride between lanes. And if my Beemer fits, your cruiser would fit. Giant brass ones
-
Hey, are motorcycles allowed in HOV lanes...
Yep, 3 or 4 cars in the HOV lane passing the other lanes that had become parking lots. If they wanted a real simple solution to traffic congestion they'd allow motorcycles to split lanes (legally).

There are still HOV lanes in NJ? They tried them on I 80 years ago and it was an utter failure.

High End Optics in Nj?
Yes, they are mainly telescopes and bino's, but I recall seeing a few rifle scopes in the showroom, and a quick search on their site showed Swarovski rifle scopes.

High End Optics in Nj?
Bump! A quick search of High Point Scientific, in Montague NJ, shows that they sell Swarovski. Give them a call, I think they had more than that last time I was there, it was a while ago.

Major RT78 Accident
My guess, without even being there: Tailgaters, excessive speed, and inattention, in the form of cellphones, in adverse weather conditions.

Major RT78 Accident
It was probably caused by that rescue truck that's going the wrong direction. Hope everyone is okay, cars don't look to have sustained very much damage. OP, glad you missed out.
