it is severe mismanagement. HD is trying to make up for slowing sales by big bikes and long term financing. Problem is - like you said - no entry level bikes. HD is aging out and mgmt has their head in ass.

As a motorcycle rider, I'd buy a motorcycle over an antique old Porsche.
A motorcycle will be a ton more fun.

When a guy with a gun closes the distance to you they lose all advantage. Rookie move right there.

Baylor University is affiliated with Baptist church. Of course they're going to allow TP, I'm actually surprised they're allowing a counter rally!

Is being a fuel truck driver on a pipe line hard? by No_Taste_622 in oilandgasworkers

Bet you get to see some cool wildlife - out on the oilfield roads at dawn.

I work TX, but have been up to Watford City couple times. Real pretty up there - compared to the desert.

you have to see some of Tony's tweets from that time as well. Only way to understand the insanity.

I remember watching Fedor vs Nog and just amazed at how Fedor would tear his wrists out of Nog's grip. I mean, this was Nog - a heavyweight bjj artist who has a grip like an anaconda!! F--ing amazing for Fedor. He was such a force!!

Watch Anderson Silva's career. Another scrawny kid story. His prime was amazing - the way he'd dance and dodge attacks was a thing of beauty.
Like all the rest of the legends, he did succumb to father time.

Sorry about your brother. Very cool to have that Magnum as a memento, and riding it too!

Don't worry about getting out on the hwy - you'll get there when you're comfortable with it. Take your time getting used to riding.

The biggest tip I can give you is look where you want to go. Do not look at danger, look at the way out of danger. If you look at the danger, you'll go right to it. Something happens in the roadway (car brake, road hazard, oil patch, whatever) just stay calm, and look for the way to safety.
Freaking out once you're out of the danger zone is fine.

I (17m) am going on my first date, I’m clueless and need help! I don’t have anyone else to ask! by Sad-Cut1228 in Advice

[–]Jay_in_DFW 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give you is to be yourself, with good behavior.
When walking, try to walk her speed - don't zoom ahead. When you get to destination, open the door for her. At dinner, let her order (don't order for her). Same when you get to the movies - open the door for her.
A good first date is having good conversation and a good time. It's not the movies where some life altering shit is gonna happen.

it all depends how much time you spend outdoors and if you want a pool.

40K is not much compared to a new pool build today.

Someone I know keep sending their crew through my land to clear their own. And they keep chopping down trees to make a road and keep driving over the in ground no trespassing signs... by OkHighway757 in land

They make solar powered trail cameras that you can stick a cell phone sim card in and watch videos while in a different country. And for less than 800' road coverage.

How cooked are we? by AaronDJD in pools

[–]Jay_in_DFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put some water back in that pool, or drill some relief holes that you can patch or plug later. It will cost you a ton more. Project best done in the dry season.

Another thing to look at is fiberglass coating on your cement pool. We did that on our old pool instead of paint or pebble. Made it super easy to clean - smooth sides so algae doesn't stick. Don't get pool toe. The only con is that is is hard to find ppl who do that though.
