New kid on the block

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Check out the new Roehr superbike, looks sharp and more importantly… fast! Wonder how it’ll stack up against a Buel 1125 or 12R.

System Administrator Appreciation Day

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Nothing like last minute notice but it IS System Administrator Appreciation Day so where is my tribute of coffee and jerky?? Yeah, right…

Gone to the “Darkside”

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

There have been several changes to the VTX in the last couple of months. Tour pak, fairing (review coming soon) and even more in the last few days. Several months back I tracked down a reasonably priced shaft final drive off of a VTX 1300. The 1300 final is geared higher which means no more [...]

Weather Alerts

Friday, July 24th, 2009

We most certainly won’t be sleeping through any weather alerts. When our weather radio goes off Scout hears that voice talking and is very unhappy and lets us know it. He just knows there is someone in the house that doesn’t belong and is quite upset that he can’t come in and eat them… hard [...]

Democrats Block GOP Mailing

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Can you imagine if the Republicans blocked a mailer being sent out by Democrats because they didn’t like the content? I can easily imagine the outrage over “censorship” and “blocking access to their constituency”.. But that only applies if the Repulicans do it to Demcratts (which has never happened in my recollection) but its ok [...]

DUMP DICK LUGAR: Pro-gun amendment rejected

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

As a life long Hoosier I am yet again totally ashamed Senator Dick Lugar is a Hoosier. I’m doubly ashamed that he belongs to the Republican party. The defense spending bill before the Senate contained an amendment to give state issued carry permits the same legal application as every other state issued legal document in [...]

Government monopsony distorts climate science

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

We now know that the climate alarmism has cost the American tax payer so far, $79 billion. When an oil company group pays for research and comes to contrary conclusions they’re dismissed because the research was funded by oil companies. But not when the research that backs one of the largest fascist power grabs in [...]

New Record

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

The 68 degree high temp today breaks the coldest temp on this date by 7 degrees. Now you know why they don’t talk about Global Warming anymore, but “Climate Change”. Which is redundant….

Child shoots intruder during home break-in

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

There have been news programs attempting to illustrate how it is nearly impossible for an untrained civilian to defend themselves against a determined attacker. Never mind that in the enactments they aired they used professional firearms instructors as the aggressors. Problems is that criminals are cowards, not professional instructors which is why in the real [...]

Could we be wrong about global warming?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Interesting, Could we be wrong about global warming? “In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record. There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models.” says oceanographer Gerald Dickens, study co-author and professor of Earth Science at Rice University in [...]
