  1. Once you decide on a bike size, you might want to consider bikesdirect. They have some serious deals. Track Bkes | SingleSpeed Bikes | Fixie | Windsor Bikes - The Hour | Save up to 60% off Fixed gear and singlespeed bicycles
  2. I am 5'10" and a huge fan of 29er. I resisted as well. Went from a 16" 1994 diamond back to a 17" 2009 fuji with hydraulic disc brakes, tora shock, and 29" wheels. This is way more bike than I could imagine.
  3. Cool! Given the very small production run, it's fairly rare to bump into another local owner. Miatas are super in the curves, but the MSMs boost and suspensions make the car amazing. This is one of my favorite quotes from a corvette forum discussing their upcoming dragon event. "Fun time, but if you see the Miata cars, they are incredible. Hard to believe but they will eat you up." Zoom-Zoom PS: are you coming to the gap in late July?
  4. Sunday was a nice day at the dragon. Very little traffic in the morning but cruiser herds slowed traffic a bit. 28 was a ghost town. Very nice.
  5. Coldblackwind, There were a ton of nissan Z, G and SX cars at the gap a few weeks ago. Checkout http://www.129pix.net/jps/store.jsp?act=showgroup&clid=3001&gid=719&eid=87&page=0 Edit, just noticed the SX and GTR were out in wi the rest of us. Check cars and trucks for same day.
  6. Gotta find me some of the curvy back roads with "no rules". Definitely take it to the track!
  7. I'm in for a dragon run about any weekend. My dragon slayer is a modified mazdaspeed miata. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/5902398469_2c8f046c99_z.jpg
  8. Keep in mind that box turtles carry salmonella.

    Taurus PT1911

    I like the Taurus,, but still have a NIB one for sale http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/firearms-classifieds/49799-taurus-pt1911-unfired.html Seriously, they are pretty decent. Quality is much better than described on many internet forums. Definitely better than the Phillipine models (RIA, Charles Daly, etc). The finish is the weak link. It's very soft. That said, I'd definitely pay the extra hunderd for a Ruger.
  10. FYI, My father in law, WWII Guadalcal vet w/ 40 years of Marine and Navy service, had a really rough time with slide on his Browning BDA. We had to trade for an S&W .38. Until he passed, he was tough as nails and took care of business. He just could not handle an auto, except a Garand.
  11. Guys, Does anyone have any leads for a shop in Knoxville area that can build sliders and stuff for my land cruiser? Basically, I need a set of 71" sliders out of 2x3" rectangle tube with 1.75 DOM kickouts. Also, I need a 3/16" skid that goes from front A-arms to center diff. Finally, I need a rear bumper with tire swing out. I'd like it to be similar in design to this.
  12. Another recommendation on lean six sigma. I make all of my analysts and distribution center managers read and apply the concepts found in this book. Amazon.com: The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 100 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed (9780071441193): Michael L. George, John Maxey, David T. Rowlands, Michael George, David Rowlands, Mark Price: Books
  13. Guys, I agree with OS. There is and was no such thing as a black panther. Back when i was a kid growing up in AL/FL panhandle area. There was constant talk of black panthers. Heck, my school mascot was a black panther at one time. Live black panthers would show up in carnivals and such. In reality, they were all black leopards. There's truly no such thing as a black panther That said, I've seen some strange things that most would doubt. I've seen a cougar while hunting in remote river plains along the Alabama river, a black bear walking down the sugar white beaches in Panama Ciity, FL, and another black bear standing in the interstate near the I40/75 split in knoxville. :D
  14. More importantly...Were you under the influence of alcohol or drugs, sleep deprived, dehydrated. Seriously, could it have been a dog or something else?
  15. I am glad no one was hurt...The Rabbi is a good fellow. End of story.

    Off-Road 4x4

    Looks great. It really does look like it crawl up a vertical wall.
  17. split time between my Land Cruiser and Mazdaspeeed Miata. To the post above about a miata as a college car, the miata's have a very buildable setup. With very minot mods, I think I'm hitting about 200HP at the wheels with 10PSI. Several hundred $$ would get me to $250. A couple of thousand would be 300hp. Needless to say, you don't need a lot of HP or $ to make these things super quick. I think I've surprised a few camaros, mustangs and Z's.... Here's a dragon shot from last Sa. PhotoReflect - Xtreme Sports Photography - The Dragon Feb. 26th Saturday 2011 Here's the land cruiser: It needs a rear bumper with swing away tire carrier. DRM won't build me one for free, so let me know if you have any sources in Knoxville area.
  18. Guys, I plan to pickup a base model 10/22. I hear that there are different levels of quality depending on vintage and supply channel. What should I be looking for? Any serial# range or physical attributes to consider? Forearm band, plastic trigger group.....? Thanks much,

    Off-Road 4x4

    David, While your at it....How about building me a rear bumper for my 100 series? It need to look like the 4×4 Labs w/ tire swing-out. I'll swing by and pick it up in a couple of weeks. BTW, looking forward to watching the build. Are you posting updates on tor or pirate??
  20. Ruger is a a run away. I have a Mk-II, m-77, m-77-mkII, m-77/22, m-77/50 and mini-30. I plan to pickup a No.1 and a 10/22.
  21. Take the scenic route and you'll pass Camp Perry. South Store Open 2/06_01_24
  22. I liked the first movie, but the other ones sucked. I've not seen Predator vs Aliens, but I hear that it sux as well.
  23. I need 7800 $50 bills.
  24. I like the fenix producs. In fact, I've sold all of my surefires.
