Statistics Show....
The only statistical claim that I am making is....
A message board with 10,000 members can have its mean IQ lowered by 84%, with the simple addition of one KPaul.

I-80 is the likely route for the SoCal crowd, which is rather heavy on the softtails (pun intended).
By the way, dude. How have those D220s worked out for you? I replaced my last set of D205s with new D205s. They've worked so well on my bike, wet or dry, and still get 10K out of the rear tire, that I've been loathe to make a change. Are the 220s any better?

Re: Screw 'em!
Whatever. I'm not going to vote for someone just 'cause he kisses babies, poses on Harleys (or not), went to Nam (or not) or any other irrelevant measure.
Look at what a politician has done in the past and you already know what he will do in the future. All else is BS.

Re: It doesn't matter if it's dangerous or not!
Actually, yes, there have been well over US 100 state and federal laws aimed at Internet. And yes, most of them do suck.
[There are entire sites, eg Lessig's, that are devoted mostly to discussing cyberlaw issues and problems.] For a little preview on how bad things will get, follow the recent Yahoo vs France case and extrapolate from there.
I'll grant you that most of the laws might not suck for you, so I can see (and agree with) your point above, but you're factually incorrect. The government has been involved with, and to varying degrees regulated, the Internet since it's inception.
Then again, I'm a throwback. I was using the Internet as a researcher long before the hypertext transfer protocol (aka "the web") was around. Some days I wouldn't mind going back to the pre-web internet....
You should have taken my suggestion and just pretended it was never said... Better to remain silent and be assumed a fool that to speak up and remove all doubt.

Re: There you go again
I'm not your friend and I have the guts to tell you you're a F'n Idiot.

No problem just pay for it.
As long as you guys are ready to fork out the money for the increased hospital and EMS costs associated with going topless no problem. But the problem is you guys (who go topless) look like idiots to the rest of society and give bikers a bad name. That leads less political clout, etc.

Re: It doesn't matter if it's dangerous or not!
Yet they approve drugs which are proven to be utterly without benefit, nay harmful, like Prozac and Paxil.
Could the fact that most of the doctors that sit on the approval board for these drugs are psychiatrists and also have personal financial interests in the same drug companies have anything to do with the approval process? Nah!
Sorry. Didn't mean to get started. The revolving door bedfellows relationship between the FDA/AMA/drug companies makes the revolving door Military/Defense Contractor's corruption appear minor.

Getting Sucked In
You missed one way the FDA can screw up. They can relabel a useful essential amino acid as a drug. Example; tryptophan was taken off the market days before prozac was released. For many people tryptophan is more effective and it is safer in all cases.
No back to work...
