  1. She chose him. I think her judgment is an issue.
  2. Actually UM/Hyosung made all the parts for Suzuki, until a few years ago. Now they import their engines from Suzuki.
  3. The UM or United Motors is made by Hyosung and has twice the HP of other 250's (even the Japanese stuff). There is a shop over on 2nd in Nashville called A-1 Funcycles that has the Hyosung 250's (which are exactly the same as UM). UM is a US distributor for Hyosung. BTW if you get a Hyosung before july 1, you get free gas for a year! Here is the website http://www.hyosungmotorsusa.com/. Check out the http://www.alternativecruisers.com/index.php?action=forum. I had a Hyosung GV250 (cruiser) that was awesome for a 250, till I got run over. Here's was mine.
  4. Yeah I want one, but I couldn't afford it!
  5. I wouldn't touch this guy with a 100' pole and it has nothing to do with Spanish. After reading the other threads troll!
  6. I'm still not getting any.....e-mails that is!
  7. Personally I think every SUV owner should take at least a 24 hr written course with hands on defensive driving course to follow before being allowed to get a license. J/K, but we somehow hold guns and such to some mythically higher power of destruction than the millions of idiots driving 2000 lbs. + missles at 70 MPH. We don't have excessive regulations on vehicles, which are arguably more dangerous than guns, and aren't a right but rather a "privilege". Yet we have self-protection and guns which are natural rights that we seem fine to require training and requirements for. To me this seems like gun elitist/snobs who want to look down on the average first time gun owner for not knowing the difference between a 9x19 and 9mm Luger. Or the ever incessant "clip" quo pa. No more training, test, qualifications, etc, etc. Rights are rights and shall not be infringed..... for what ever reason.
  8. there was an article a while back about blind hunters. Evidently there are ways to accommodate that. Pretty interesting if you ask me.
  9. 1. You were. The language issue was hand in hand with legal status. To strip it down to simple legalities is naive at best 2. Half of the thread was trying to determine exactly what the details of an "alien" wanting to take a HCP class were. The legalities of his wife were in question because of miscommunication in language and definitions. If that miscommunication can take place in an "english" thread, don't you think it is pertinent that residents in the same country use a common language. Much like a deaf or mute finds a way to communicate with others around instead if insisting that everyone else learn sign language or read lips as they do?
  10. I don't think comparing dissabilities with illegal status is a very good arguement:rolleyes:.
  11. Don't you know that that is one of the best tactical secrets out there. At 400 lbs there is no way they can be shot in the vitals due to lack of penetration!
  12. Assuming you are legal then your wife would be as well based on marriage, right? I don't understand the "alien" part. However, I would recommend learning the language of success, English, as the first step in protecting oneself.

    SAIGA ?

    East Side usually has a few varieties as well as Guns and Leather. You can get Saiga's in 7.62x39, .308, .223, 12g, 20g, & .410. The 12g are hard to find and run about twice the others. Here is a 12g converted.

    SAIGA ?

    To make it legal to import as a sporting arm it comes like this. to get it useful you can convert it to something like this.

    SAIGA ?

    Saiga's are the closest thing to an true Russian Ak you can get. Read that as the best AK you can get. You can't go wrong with Saiga's. Here's mine.
  16. Just an update. It was a little worse than it seemed. Left the Orthopedist yesterday.... and had surgery today. They had to put a stainless plate down the side of my Tibia and screwed in the three bone pieces together. The SUV driver did in fact hit my ankle. The doc said from the side it looked like he had gone after it with a hammer. Here's some pics for the voyeurs out there. Pics don't really capture how bad they really look. Here's a comparison of my legs. Here's my right knee. Here is my right elbow This is the engine burn on my right calf. Right side of my helmet. Back of my helmet.
  17. Croatians are not calling the shots. they are simply the factory. All rights of design and marketing are done by SA.
  18. I don't see the ugly thing. I think it looks pretty good. felt the old design was rather blocky and bulky looking. This I may go back to the XD for.
  19. Blade-Tech is about the only holster manufacturer now that carries anything for FNP. I had the FNP9 and it was a great gun. You will be well pleased.
  20. Actually, I think that's how my ankle was broke. I think it was sandwiched between his bumper and my bike. I also have a pretty good burn imprint from the rear cylinder fins on my calf.
  21. I'm not sure. He was putting all my stuff together and I couldn't see around the crowd. My wallet was in my pocket and I told them so. I was very conscious. I was fully aware the whole time. It must have looked pretty bad, cause there were a ton of folks trying to help. That was kinda nice that folks cared and annoying cause everyone was trying to tell me what to do! I was heading north on 2nd Ave. Heading into downtown. It is three lanes, one way. I was in the left and he was in the center lane. As we went through the green light at Lafeyette/Murfeesboro Rd. He slowed and as i got the front of my bike past his bumper is when he decided to turn. Caught me at the rear of the gas tank with the front left of his bumper.
  22. I hope he's got insurance as well. The paramedics got there pretty quick so I didn't get a chance to get any info. I was pretty much on the ground the whole time. What I thought was interesting was the fireman went through my bag and nervously and discreetly came over and asked if I knew there was a gun in there and asked if I had a permit. I said yeah, and asked if he could get it to the officer. The motorcycle cop unloaded it and locked back the slide and put it back in my bag. At the hospital they were hardly concerned with it and told me I could hang on to it, so I kept it in the room with me. I was at Baptist. Don't know if they are posted or not, but they were pretty friendly!
  23. Well, on my way into the city today on my new bike and the unthinkable happened. A older driver in an Tahoe decided to take another road and crossed two lanes of traffic to make an illegal turn in an intersection. Well I guess you can imagine what happened. I was in the far left lane and got more or less t-boned. I've had the beauty for 3 1/2 weeks! Rabbi told me he wanted one, but everyone he knows never has them more than 6 mo's ! The bike....well let's just say I hope the wife will let me get a new one. Me, Well, I'm blessed I went straight as the bike got knocked left from under me. All I came out with is a fractured ankle and road rash on my right side. I did get a pretty good impression of the rear cylinder on the inside of my calf as well. No pics of the bike yet, but I will get some up! For the fellow bikers out there, have fun and watch out for people who aren't paying attention and think laws and rules of the road have an exception for them. As far as my new Walther P99, I happened to have it in my shoulder bag instead of my hip. Thankfully so, as that would have hurt a lot. I'm not sure the pain of it in my hip or it being messed up as well would have been more painful! Here's a before:
  24. 9mm Walther P99 and very seldom my hi-power in 40 S&W or 357 SIG with the conversion barrel.
  25. So far I've heard that the Frank issue was a perception deal and then the higher ups get all bent out of shape when perception is not in their favor. 2nd the attitude that has been conveyed that we peons don't know the info so we should just shut up and mind our business, is condescending at best and makes it look even worse. this is however an info forum. Some of us where involved and would like to know how this could have affected us as well. Today is the first I've seen of this here. I've been in these situations and am currently in the middle of one and my best advice is to just let it go and let be what will be. Good or bad choices were made and you gotta live by that. If you're right no defense is needed. Getting bent out of shape only makes you look bad.
