I suppose if there were enough people to do the work. There was only two of us able to do all the work required. This is nothing, during a deployment, we worked 18 hours a day for 30-40 days straight. Then had a weekend in port then right back again. It all depends on the opperational commentments and manning. you get used to it after a while.

I suppose if you're living on board and have only a 3 minute commute it's not so bad.

I picked up the August issue of CycleWorld. All I have to say is "fudge" you harley, and bring the XR1200 to America. And I don't see the big deal about the new vmax.

Today I learned that fruit flies spontaneously generate. Now I understand why fruit flies appear out of nowhere.

Sneezed in my helmet today....messy.

It's got 197 horsepower. You need 197 horsepower.

'Sides, it's gotta have sumthin' goin' on to compensate for it's looks.....

And it's 658 lbs... dry. That's 140 lbs more than it's "rival", the b-king (518 lbs dry, according to suzuki's site). I think the choice is obvious. The b-king even looks better next to the vmax. it's also about $5k cheaper.

Oh yeah, Indian's back. Again.

Yeah, up to $35K for a dressed-up Harley clone with funny fenders. Meh. If I was into that kind of bike I'd take the Harley for $16-18K, and get a proven engine and an extensive dealer network in the bargain.

Wowee! Bravo.

How long was the hike?

I'm looking forward to when I can go hiking again.
