  1. Just a suggestion, but Starbucks could also be a nice place to meet up. I know they got some stink a while back for telling OC'ers not to carry in their place, but they never posted as far as I know. I conceal carry in Starbucks all the time. :)
  2. I guess we're not a typical household, but at 50 Mbps, I can feel a drag at times. 105Mbps is the best for us. But I have 3 iPhones, 1 iPad Air 2, 2 Acer Tablets, 2 Desktop PC's, and 5 laptops, 1 Roku and 1 Sony PlayStation in my home network. We're not on all those devices all the time, but when we're all watching video, downloading and uploading at the same time, it can slow down.
  3. Yeah but as long as you have data caps like Comcast has, you will be maxing out or paying overage fees all the time. Add that your not going to want to run a slow connection, so bare minimum 50 Mbps with optimum being their 105 Mbps and Comcast will still get you. I'm patiently waiting for Google Fiber 1,000 Mbps and their Google TV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. It is a little more than a 450R. That's mainly because they have to build the engines (Honda has a contract with them and they only sale the engine parts, not an assembled engine) and take a new 450R, remove the engine and rebuild the frame to fit the motor. I will buy one of these when I get a chance. I have a deep love for the 500 pinger. Especially the sound and smell with a high comp head running on leaded C12. Back to the OP. If you don't mind mixing 2-stroke and a little more maintainace than a 4 stroke, try that KTM 300 or a 250 2-stroke.
  5. What do you think about the service Honda CR 500AF? :D http://www.servicehonda.com/cr500af05.html
  6. He needs to find a good balance. The bike needs to have the power and gearing to get him up the hills in mud, loose rock, etc., at his weight and with whatever extra backpack weight as well.
  7. Thing is, I want to keep the HCP simply for the reciprocity to carry in other states that recognize our TNHCP. So if we can get CC for both open and concealed, but also have the permit system simply for the reciprocity, that would be nice. I just don't know if it would make sense after CC to have a TNHCP for the state, though.
  8. You might think MX bikes are only for jumping tall building and racing, but they also make GREAT trail bikes. Heck, I rode a 2000 Honda CR500R for years for a trail bike and it worked great for those tall TN hills. Anyway.. trail bikes Trail: http://powersports.honda.com/offroad/trail.aspx Off-road: http://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/products/modeloverview/cat/2015/59/model_overview.aspx?_ga=1.63992872.623469288.1420400609 Enduro: http://www.ktm.com/us/enduro.html Suzuki didn't have much to offer for trail bikes, so here are their dual sport: http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Categories/DualSport Edit: pics of my old 2000 Honda CR500R here: CR500R Not sure on hitch haulers. Any backpack, as long as it is not too heavy is fine. What weight do you plan to carry? Just from experience, riding a mountain bike with a full time load of college textbooks so I could get across campus and not be late to class, too much weight on your back will throw your balance off if you hit too much of a bump. I darn near wiped out on campus one day from a bump. lol Not sure if the same weight on a dirtbike would be so bad, but I do know riding with passengers on dirtbikes isn't easy either.
  9. You can start here with that checkbook: http://www.gofundme.com/fmxlnk And that started here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1624460_NOW_ACCEPTING_DONATIONS__ATF_approved_post_86_machine_guns_for_NFA_trusts__updated_10_10_14.html&page=83#i49791552 I posted the above here a while back: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/82455-help-overturn-18-usc-922o-nfa/ Here is another org that has stepped up: http://nfafa.org/
  10. Just checked it on my iPad Air 2. Works fine. But the update has ruined this app. I'm really not liking it at this point. :down: Thank god I can bypass it on the iPad. It'll suck browsing from the phone now though.
  11. The other day and for a couple days, I felt fatigued and had a headache. Throat felt funny and coughed some through the night. Tiny bit of sinus, but it went away. I think I might have eaten enough garlic that my body fought off the crud this year. :D
  12. You should hear the crap people say about the 5.7x28 being a glorified .22 and they talk like it won't stop or kill a man. lol I hate to use the comparison, but the Fort Hood terrorist sure killed a lot of men with the lowly Five-seveN. And yes, I sometimes carry my Five-seveN pistol. Sometimes I carry the XDs 45acp. Sometimes I carry the Glock Gen 4 21 45acp, etc. I think they're all great and will do fine should I ever need them.
  13. Merry Christmas!
  14. I commented on youtibe, twitter and facebook. If a kid gets in legal trouble, anyone gets hurt as a result of this, or a parent gets a gun confiscated because of this ignorant and dangerous liberal anti-gun propaganda, I hope they sue the crap out of the filmmaker and the idiot involved in tweeting the PSA!
  15. I like! :up:
  16. Sorry for your loss. Best wishes for you all.
  17. So if you want to share, how much total is in this build?
  18. Damn. I need to buy some MG's and rent them out! I'd never have to work again! :lol:
  19. In for the pics/tech!
  20. So the CA folks can shoot some fun guns.... lol
  21. My Dad has 3 with Leupold pistol scopes on them. They shoot great and look as good as the day he bought them. I have no clue how old they are, but he's had them as far back as I can remember. I've shot the 45 Colt and .44 mag versions he has and if single shot contenders are a-OK with you, then you will likely love the TC. :up:
  22. Agree. :up:
  23. I'd rather they do the yearly check on the TN HCP because the background at the gun dealer is just a PITA and a hassle to me. So let them up the permit fee if I don't have to deal with that BS anymore! :up: Plus, maybe it would cut down on those stupid denials people keep getting that always get overturned in a few hours or a day. I wholeheartedly think they do that to try to deter people from buying a gun because folks with no felonies or domestic violence get denied all the time and then they overturn it on a faxed in appeal and there just isn't any reason for that to be happening.
