And just for the record, I'm usually a sceptic when it comes to this sort of thing so I'm not completely sold on the matter, do I believe they WOULD do that, oh HELL yeah. Our government is so large and bloated and bestowed with so much power it can run rampant and do what it wants, unlike before in the early 20th century where states had control of the federal gov't BUT WW1 gave rise to the all powerful centralized federals we all know today and since the end of that war has been steadily climbing since but saw leaps and bounds during the cold war.

  Did you watch and listen to them talking? They were talking about using this overseas on people in the middle east, to modify their behavior. Who's to say that it hasn't already been used or been used inside the US. Not that I mind this being used on Jihadists but where does the line get drawn, this type of behavior would show just what they are capable of. Just for example in the late 50's early 60's the US Army conducted a test in a suburb area of Chicago where "white powder" was dispensed from airborne transports, anyone who was directly exposed died of cancer within a year or two, the rest contracted it later in life. I read about that in an aritcle about a lady that was the last survivng member of her family, all of whom had died of cancer. You want to know what our government is capable of?   Researchers in the United States have performed thousands of human radiation experiments to determine the effects of atomic radiation and radioactive contamination on the human body, generally on people who were poor, sick, or powerless. Most of these tests were performed, funded, or supervised by the United States military, Atomic Energy Commission, or various other US federal government agencies. The experiments included a wide array of studies, involving things like feeding radioactive food to mentally disabled children or conscientious objectors, inserting radium rods into the noses of schoolchildren, deliberately releasing radioactive chemicals over U.S. and Canadian cities, measuring the health effects of radioactive fallout from nuclear bomb tests, injecting pregnant women and babies with radioactive chemicals, and irradiating the testicles of prison inmates, amongst other things. Much information about these programs was classified and kept secret. In 1986 the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce released a report entitled "American nuclear guinea pigs : three decades of radiation experiments on U.S. citizens". In the 1990s Eileen Welsome's reports for The Albuquerque Tribune prompted the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, created by executive order of president Bill Clinton. It published results in 1995. Welsome later wrote a book called The Plutonium Files.   In 1954, American scientists conducted fallout exposure research on the citizens of the Marshall Islands after they were inadvertently irradiated by the Castle Bravo nuclear test in Project 4.1. The Bravo test was detonated upwind of Rongelap Atoll and the residents were exposed to serious radiation levels, up to 180 rads (1.8 Gy). Of the 236 Marshallese exposed, some developed severe radiation sickness and one died, and long term effects included birth defects, "jellyfish" babies, and thyroid problems. In 1957, atmospheric nuclear explosions in Nevada, which were part of Operation Plumbbob were later determined to have released enough radiation to have caused from 11,000 to 212,000 excess cases of thyroid cancer amongst U.S. citizens who were exposed to fallout from the explosions, leading to between 1,100 and 21,000 deaths. Early in the Cold War, in studies known as Project GABRIEL and Project SUNSHINE, researchers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia attempted to determine just how much nuclear fallout would be required to make the Earth uninhabitable. They realized that atmospheric nuclear testing had provided them an opportunity to investigate this. Such tests had dispersed radioactive contamination worldwide, and examination of human bodies could reveal how readily it was taken up and hence how much damage it caused. Of particular interest was strontium-90 in the bones. Infants were the primary focus, as they would have had a full opportunity to absorb the new contaminants. As a result of this conclusion, researchers began a program to collect human bodies and bones from all over the world, with a particular focus on infants. The bones were cremated and the ashes analyzed for radioisotopes. This project was kept secret primarily because it would be a public relations disaster; as a result parents and family were not told what was being done with the body parts of their relatives.

  Pretty sure at that point it'd be classified as mobile artillery.

Well, maybe not quite that BUT I made this meme off of a photo I took down at the first gas station where you get off 111 at Dunlap. I think someone is trying to prove Darwins theory of survival of the fittest.

  Very good possibility.

  You dump enough rounds into something and it will go down. It didn't say how many he had used so that is left to speculation. He was using a 5.45 and he killed a bear with it, we know that and if he was using a AK74 he more than likely had a 30round mag or maybe even possibly an RPK mag, did he perform a mag change, who knows. Bear is dead and 5.45 brought it down. If he was using the Russian surplus stuff we've been getting that is 7N6 ammo, which is capable of penetrating 6mm of steel at 300m. The rounds performance speaks for itself.

Not sure if this is legit or not but sure as heck makes me glad I haven't been vaccinated in years. Start at 1:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2MuXgpl2Sxg

Just say this to them.

Can also be used as a war mace or to fasten rail road tracks...

You carried spray for good reasons, bears are actually quite evil.

HERP??!!

:whistle:

  Anything over .50 is.

Before After

Hence why I put this link but I'll provide meat and taters. Doug Snavely is the one responding to the questions; What was your goal with this project? I rode it the way it was for a while, but I came from a road racing background, and started to convert it to something I was more comfortable riding. What kinds of parts/modifications did you add? Living and riding on the Dragon led to most of the modifications, the goal being to run faster and smoother. One of the first real mods was changing the front forks out for a set of Kawasaki GPZ 750 forks. This was for better brakes, and the anti-dive feature, and the 16” wheel. At the same time I altered the wheel base by changing the neck angle, reducing it to allow the bike to turn in quicker. I added a 16” wheel in the rear to maintain stance; also Progressive shocks and fork springs. In its present state it also has Yamaha clip-ons with Harley controls, and custom rear-sets to help balance the front-to-rear weight distribution. NOS [single stage] air horns, custom LED turn signals in the tips of the Ducati exhaust pipes, and a Honda CBX fairing with custom LED turn signals frenched into the lower leading edges. Cold air induction to a pressurized air box, and an array of custom-mounted gauges for voltage, oil pressure, clock, boost, and a video screen with live-feed view to the rear. The seat is a one-off custom out of fiberglass. How long did it take you from start to finish? So far, I have been working on it since 1982. I do not say it is finished. Rather, it is a work in progress. Why did you name it Cyborg? A cyborg is a product of cybernetics, the melding of biological and mechanical—referring to myself being the biological, and the bike being the mechanical. I also have a number of steel plates in my body from previous motorcycle accidents, making myself also somewhat of a cyborg. What sorts of awards has it won? My efforts so far have gotten me a video interview with Dave Despain for Speedvision while at the Springfield Mile. However, the segment, to my knowledge, never did air. At the same race, Willie G. did a double-take and told me he was very impressed. I also won a number of first-place awards at state Goldwing events, a very nice trophy at a Cycle World show at the Honda Hoot in Knoxville a few years back, and voted bike of the year on the NakedGoldwings.com website. This organization has over 5,000 members and is dedicated to older ’Wings and customs. What do other Goldwingers say to you when they first see it? Most bikers of all makes seem to gather around it where ever I go, and I often spend up to an hour answering questions. Most other Goldwing riders, especially of the newer models, don’t know quite what to think. Nothing on the bike is really just a bolt-on, and I think that confuses them a bit. But most wind up liking it in the end. How did you first hear about US 129? While at a road race at Road Atlanta, I heard about US 129 at the Tennessee/North Carolina line, and made the trip up to check it out. I found it to be all that was said about it. I stayed a week at the Crossroads of Time store and motel, and rode the road every day. I came to know some of the local riders, and while there made a deal with the owner of the store/motel to work as the manager. A short time later I created the Deals Gap Riding Society, and gave the road the name “Dragon.” This was based on the air photo of the road looking like the back of a dragon, and to create an imagine that was easy to promote. How did you popularize it? Making 129 so popular was a combination of luck and hard work. But coining the name Dragon, and instilling the “318 curves in 11 miles” image, I appealed to bikers all over the world, who saw it as a challenge that had to be met. My newsletter from the “Deals Gap Riding Society” told of the escapades on the Dragon of their fellow riders. Many just had to see what it was all about in person. I also enlisted the help of Rider magazine, which did a very good segment on the Dragon. Many people have made a lot of money because of this effort. I personally have not made a penny. However, like a proud father who has watched his child grow to a superstar, I have my reward. And without it, the bike called Cyborg would most likely not have been created. And in the end, the bike and my memories are worth more to me then any amount of money. The dragon, like the bike, has a life of its own. And that’s my reward.

If I had as much money as some people it would be more of a question of, "why not?"

  A liberal, they're imitation humans right?

Back in 2007 I worked at Carmax of Intl Mall in Miami, Florida. The shop was completely closed up and had A/C with automatic opening doors(timed motion sensor), the break room had a foosball table and a pingpong table and ice cream vending machine. When we completed our work for the day we BSed around in the backlot with all the whole sale cars, got to drive a 2007 Corvette ZO6, 2006 Porsche Carrera 911 S, 2005 Landrover LR3(I think that was the model, all I know is it had a $67k price tag, lol.), and one of my favorites to drive was the 2004 VW R32 as it was heavily  On Friday's they used the area I worked in for a wholesale auction so they told us to go piddle for about an hour and to check back after the hour was up. Not to mention I made $13.25 an hour and they encouraged us to work on our days off, I saw $1200 pay checks on average, twas the most cush job for the money I've ever had and was my first job in the auto industry.

  And that's why Michigan has douchnozzle gun laws, because of morons like this. I understand protesting your rights to an intolerant gov't but just going there to outright scare people and be a dumb@$$ is just disgusting.

  I didn't realize they refered to insane asylums as precincts, huh...

  They are overbuilt BUT they are very comfy for what they are. I wear mine at my 13 hour a day office job but I also work in a parts dept so they don't get too picky with our apparel choice in all honesty, lol. If you need a pair that can take a lickin and keep on tickin, get them, they have cargo pockets in the cargo pockets, lol. :P

Nodak Spud are stamped, very few companies out there do milled for an AK as it stands.
