Ive done several 1,000 mile days, more’n I can recall, on a Kz 550, a Virago, a Ninja 750
and a KLR, but every time I get to feeling like a stud all I gotta do is google “Iron Butt Rally”.....

The thing I have against the 883 is that it’s geared lower than the 1200 in every gear, seems like it’d be sort of busy at highway speeds. I can see no reason to get an 883, when a 1200 on the same platform, is available. Had a 1200 2007 Sportster. Nice bike, inexpensive to operate, entertaining. Currently on a 2009 Lowrider. Still adjusting! Figured I was done going fast. Spent a whole bunch of years dragging knees. The cops didn't use to be so para-military then. Electric cars really haven't caught on yet, primarily due to range limitations and down time. Run out of gas on a ride, you're up and running in a relatively short ride. Electric? I guess you have to go back later and collect it. OR just pay attention to battery charge level and not try to go farther than you have the electrons for. Even gas bikes have fuel gauges now. And my 2009 HD softail even has a miles remaining countdown display - they can do the same thing with battery state. Down time is still too long, to recharge.

No flat tires in my driveway Bub, and both my vehicles run, grass is cut too  Yeah it sounds like a great area to have a family. There are several great families here, see, it’s all about the parents......

I got about 2K in the past month. And that's just running around the suburbs and city.
My brother drove his bike here in January and then flew home and now wants it back. So... I'm gonna deliver. Which bike is that? Have you decided what you're going to buy? That's his BMW 1600 GTL. I'm pretty set on the KTM 1290 Adventurer. But I'm not buying one until I have a garage again. We just got a second offer on our house so we should be done renting pretty soon.

West Point graduates and cons serving life terms, all from the same high school. It happens more’n you prob’ly think.

Thank goodness, I'm old enough that I won't see the electric takeover. When I can't drive something with an internal combustion engine, it will be a wheelchair... ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/yoctJbh.jpg)

No, it’s the West Side  ....and we’ve had kids hauled out of classes on felony murder warrants and others graduating from big name Universities. The kid who got shot on my street broke into a house but that was years ago, and nobody likes a thief, and the drive by was on next door, not us. ......Did I ever actually say my neighborhood was “dangerous”? It’s actuall pretty safe....... .......most of the time

OK l’ll fess ‘up, we’ve only had four murder warrants served on campus since I’ve been here, can’t even begin to recall how many college graduates. We did have a fleeing felon shot and killed on campus several years back, but he weren’t a student so that doesn’t count.
My very favorite story is the guy who came on campus wearing a ski mask and laid out the kid who had date-raped his little sister with a crow bar.
Ski mask guy was never caught.

The police there shoot fleeing felons? What was his felony? Was he armed? How did he get onto your campus?
A convicted rapist attended school there? Was he a minor? How is this information known? If somebody is wearing a ski mask, how do you affirm their identity?

The police there shoot fleeing felons? They do if they drop a weapon and stop to pick it up. Fortunately this happened at night, on a weekend. The guy was running from the Cops, across campus just happened to be the shortest route from Point A to Point B at that moment in time. A convicted rapist attended school there? No, he was never charged, nor was the incident reported. How is this information known? If somebody is wearing a ski mask, how do you affirm their identity? If the kids trust you they will tell you, this was before cameras and happened in the student parking lot, as school was getting out. The kid who got laid out wouldn’t talk. These sort of stories ain’t unusual for big-city schools, it’s not like I’m special.
