Every time I've heard and expert explain semi-auto vs fully auto - He/She says semi-auto - "pull the trigger and one shot fires." That's what a double action revolver does. FWIW - I agree there is a difference - but as a practical matter a DA revolver is semi-automatic. Pull the trigger and it...

If they are not illegal because of there perceived lethality, and they are illegal because of concealability; wouldn't say pistols be illegal too. They are much easier to conceal than even a shorty sawed off shotgun right? Just one of the odd gun things. Right?

Revolver = semi-automatic AR-15 = semi-automatic AR stands for Armalite Rifle - not equal to - Assault Rifle Pump shotgun not semi-automatic = very effective self-defense weapon. Sawed off shotgun no more lethal then a regular shotgun. 10 round clip semi-auto Garand M1 battle field rifle won...

Silly comment - of course things go bad just sitting there. Third law of Thermal Dynamics.

The stock NGK iridiums in my GSRX 750 somehow went bad sitting in the motorcycle. Took me weeks sorting it out. Final after testing everything - I said lets run down and get some of those cheap autolite plugs that fit... Wouldn't ya know it - the thing fired right up and purred. Even put the bad...

Two great riders that will hate each other until the end of time... So what's new?

Random thoughts: VR is and has been a smack talker. Problem is he can't back it up anymore. He isn't the fastest on the track anymore. Truth is he hasn't been able to for some time. Deserved the sanction. He can do no wrong in the eyes of many fans (fanatics). He is a good guy and a racing...

Just a shot in the dark here... Not that familiar with busa tranny innards, but how bout the NSU or equivalent based on other bikes issues.

I think I blew out the left front fork seal between wheelies and riding over curbs and anything that looked fun to ride over. Upside - it was fixed under warranty. I didn't mention anything about curbs and stuff :) It's a fun bike. Not fast but fun.

OK - Sixpack - you'll never be satisfied with the power of the 650 thumpers. KLR650, Honda650 or the DR650 are all pretty soft. The DR is easy to wheelie though :) The 650 /dualsport forums are chalk full of folks spending alot of money to make a slow bike - a slightly faster slow bike. The DR...

Blast from the past... EVERYBODY wanted one!

A few pictures of my ride out west on my Suzuki DR650. Roughly followed the Oregon Trail out to Wyoming, Scotts Bluff, NE, Devil's Tower, Sturgis, Black Hills, Badlands and MotoGP at IMS and back to northern Virginia. 4300 miles, 14 states and mostly camping.

I think I prefer my boy Ewan rather than Brad as the "voice".
