I really need to go ahead and add one of those to my collection.

more like 654 USD... You have to keep in mind these are imported guns
They have to be transported, gotten through customs, importer needs a marging, shop needs a margin..

Y'all pay more for EU made weapons than i would... it is the way it works..

I think my next one is going to be a .17

that be really tiny Rick.

Dude, they are tack drivers. I mean long range tack drivers

define long range, most reports i read say 17 HMR runs out of oomph at 250 yards. at 300 yards it has 800 fps (that's air rifle speed) left and hardly any energy.

I know you have Rick, and I appreciate you and vas for respecting me and looking out for me. It just pisses me off when people go off on me, without taking time to get the facts.

Nynor, I love those old SSs that'll probably end up being my next bike, great style, great sound and the price on em these days is very attractive.

mine is wicked loud. i must admit, i do prefer the look of the earlier SS, but one of main requirements when i bought it was that the bike MUST have fuel injection. i cannot tell you how many hours i spent messing about with carbs on the old triumph.

Hmm, I don't wanna deal with carbs again....

Have to admit the FI on the 888 is nicer than the carbs on the 900 SS. Not that it's cold much here in SoCal, but it's nice to hop onto the 888, set the "choke" (that's what it's labeled, though I understand it's not really a choke in the traditional sense of the word), thumb the starter and go. On the 900 SS, the choke really is a choke, and you need a couple minutes of fiddling with it before you can ride off (smoothly at least). On the injected bike, the throttle response is noticably quicker. With the carb'd bike, you open the throttle and can imagine those air molecules getting vacuumed into the intakes, atomizing the fuel before, you feel the thrust. Maybe a little exaggeration there, but there is a seat-of-the-pants difference.

Internet at the house is down. Dad fell asleep so I am using his iPad. I love the 3G...


Should probably be studying.

Okay, I give, what's PARF??

Politics and Religion Forum...

thanks Sid. It is a place I would never go, just don't want to start arguing over those topics, not worth the aggravation.

That's a good plan. Arguing over there is just wasted breath anyways.

so what are you up to? it is Sunday night here, just finished dinner, thinking of having an after dinner baileys and biscotti, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddd
it is not raining, first time for bluddy days. I can even see some blue sky, well clear sky as it is almost dusk.

3 am on Saturday night here. Been watching entourage, headed to bed soon. My sleep schedule is totally effed.


A drink would be nice though...

started watching entourage in thebeginning, but lost interest after a couple of episodes. Certainly wouldn't stay up till 3am to watch it :-( Sid, you really need to get to bed and have a good sleep.

Hi all,

Wow! lunch just finished. Great afternoon with some fantastic friends. Should do that more often.
