Could anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of large vs small front tire. I definitly like the looks of the big front tire. Plus, seems to me you'd have more overall traction with the big front tire making bike a little safer. Also concerned if use bike offroad that the belt type final dri...

I don't question the fact that a smaller motorcycle is the best for a beginner. Last night I got to looking at a Yamaha V-Star 250. Only 250cc, weighs about 300 lbs and I think it'd be a fine, inexpensive bike for a newby. Also I believe when you pull-up to people on a smaller bike you seem like les...

I hear your warnings but I was just showing you guys a motorcycle I really like the looks of.

Ain't that thang purty? I'm using it for a background for my desktop for now.

I've now looked at a lot of motorcycles on the internet. Here's one I just found and like it's color and overall look. Really nice picture of a Harley and here it is for your enjoyment. Like the "whitewalls" too! http://0.tqn.com/d/motorcycles/1/0/o/C/0/-/2011-Harley-Davidson-Road-King-Cla...

Pitchy,

Great outfit and guns. Your Indian and arrow "theme" is a good one.

Don't worry one bit about "overdoing it" with pictures and videos. Always appreciated.

Big thanks to all of you guys and especially FatJackDurham for your lengthy response. I think I might just get a new hard drive with Windows 7 on it.

Pala is a nice range on the Pala Indian Reservation. Very big and they have CAS or somethin similar. If you just want a place to shoot you can go east on Florida Ave and into Bee Canyon.

I'm in Hemet, CA and found this list of shooting ranges in California. http://www.traderscreek.com/gun_clubs/california.asp I may have missed one or two close to me but appears Banning and Pala might be the best ranges for me.

Derenius,

Thanks for your thoughts. I would never do banking business online. I agree, if a pro hacker wants to access your computer, he can do it. Makes me wonder why the experts who make the anti-virus programs can't defeat the hackers 100%.

Sometimes my computer does some odd things or slows way down. Then, I often wonder if I am having problems with hackers. Today I began looking into how to discover hackers on your computer and how to track them down. Hacking is against the law. Wonder what the penalty is when caught? If not too expe...

Pink ! Was my mother's favorite color. It is a pretty color and I'll bet you have fun with it.

Griff: I wonder if you'll ever return to riding motorcycles? Seems you still like-em.

I read by far the most motorcycle accidents happen to people much younger than us.

I appreciate you guys with riding experience letting me know full well the dangers of riding motorcycles. As I know you'll agree, a good safety/riding class plus staying away from traffic most of the time will go a long way in helping prevent accidents. Not perfect, of course, but a big help. Surely...

Just happened to run across a couple of huge, custom motorcycles. One is the Roadog weighing about 3200 lbs and the other was much larger than this one and made in Germany. Don't recall it's name Thought some of you would find this interesting. Get these on there sides and you've got problems. Don

Why BLACK? Seems like nearly all the clothing associated with bike riders is black in color. This, I'm sure, kind of adds to the "that look" many bike riders get from non-bike riders. I'd prefer brown if it's available.

Griff,

Thanks for the pictures and the, well documented, warning.

Do you recall when you were much younger that "wrecks and injuries only happened to the other guy and I'll be alright?"

wecsoger,

I got your point about better resale value for a Harley that's been treated well but still wondering if there isn't another bike brand or two that also holds their value well.

Thank all of you for the many great pictures of your motorcycles. I looked at all of them. I'm 'in the market' but need to buy a house first.

I suppose the law regarding guns carried on motorcycles is similar to that of guns carried in cars. That is, keep the gun and ammo separate and not easily accessed. But, I see some of the members of this group have rifle scabbards on their bikes. I suppose you must keep these rifles unloaded while t...

Just finished watching videos on YouTube about the B-29 and B-36 bombers. Very interesting. The B-29 was a very big plane but the B-36 was much larger. Most interesting video was titled: "B-29 Frozen in Time." Type that in the YouTube search box and you'll have some great entertainment. Th...

Don't want to 'buy trouble' with a used bike. I'd guess if you buy a used bike buy one with 15,000 or fewer miles on it. What would be average miles before an overhaul? 30,000? I suppose overall appearance would tell you--usually--how well the owner maintained the engine, etc. I read that the final ...

"Crotch Rocket" someone said. I know the type and not interested at all. Believe I've seen some of these trying to outrun police on YouTube. Another person mentioned a test of driving on parking lot lines for testing your ability. This got me to thinking: What are some good, practical ridi...

Must say there's some real helpful people in this group. Thanks for all the good advice. For sure, a safety class is a must. Basically I just have to have the common sense to not exceed my ability--which is presently on the low side for sure. I really "have a leg-up" on safety and how to g...

O.K. Excellent role model would have been more accurate but isn't that getting pretty close to a hero? To avoid all the negative things and remain true to what's right--kinda heroic to me.

Then there's the "appeal." What's to like about a motorcycle and especially a Harley? I've never had a motorcycle but my guess is a kind of 'freedom of the road' feeling when riding one and the Harley adds THE sound unique to it and loved by many. What else? The biggest negative I can thin...

For years I thought all the scalping that happened in the Old West was done by the Indians.
