  1. There have been some deals on new 2011 Ventures on ebay lately, real tempting... Remember to post pictures of your new ride when you get it.
  2. You did good. Here in north Georgia very few secondary roads have driveable shoulders which unfortunately removes one panic move option. And more and more divided highway medians are strung with cable between steelposts which are cycle shreaders. But I always try to drive with an eye for what to do in an emergency like you had. btw did you get the vehicle license of the person who piulled out in front of you to give the police?
  3. Most of the dimensions limits like the 108inches width+girth can not be exceeded with USPS, irregardless of what one is willing to pay. It does vary somewhat country to country. And USPS has a co-op agreement with Fedex for large packages that exceed USPS sizes, I'm not sure if that gets into the end user fees or not. I've only used that once for Australia, and am not sure of what end fees were charged in addition to duties.
  4. USPS Priority Mail is generally the least cost way to ship packages internationally, not only Canada. However, you need to check the package dimensions, and maximum insurance which will vary from country to country. generally maximum size is 108inches girth plus length, but some countries is less.
  5. I can't look....
  6. its true.I heard it on the Tonight Show.
  7. good pics - thanks heal fast buddy
  8. Glad you're mostly Ok Brian. shame about the bike though.
  9. I presume you know that Atlanta (home of the Atlanta RUSH HOUR) is dead in your path? Taking the beltway around the west side is better than either going straight thru or the east side in the early morning. (maybe, but don't hold me to it) But hey, if you've made it thru Nashville and Chattanooga, you'll be a pro.
  10. great. that means I can eat your share of the icecream plus mine at MD next year. See, I can help.
  11. Rick, I probably won't be able to catch you with that schedule. Setup for a weekend shindig I'm involved with has been moved up to Thursday from its normal Friday. Have fun.

  14. Ammo is much more expensive than it used to be, even if you load your own. used to be able to buy a case of 1,000 rounds of surplus 9mm pistol ammo for $100. Nowthat would cost $300-400 dollars. 7.62mm (.308 caliber) ammo is a dollar a round (or more). components to make your own have tripled in price in the last 10 years.
  15. I have a Dillon 650 and it can crank out lots of ammo fast. Its a heavy duty reliable machine. If you're not familiar with the laws for owning a machine gun, you should visit the BATF website for the rules pertaining to NFA weapons. I suspect most of the weapons fired at Knob Creek are ones classified as Curio and Relics. So. you need a C&R (type 3) federal Firearms License. C&R class weapons are listed on a BATF list and does not incude most modern (post WWII) weapons. You then need a NFA stamp which takes about 6 months and a background check to receive. It used to cost $200, but its been a long time since I reviewed the regs. I'm saying this from memory, I don't own any NFA or full-auto weapons and gave up my C&R FFL a number of years ago. There are other reasons to have a C&R FFL. I just looked at the wikipedia article on NFA weapons and it says a C&R license is not reqired and the tax stamp is still $200.
  16. Your friendly Armed Services Recruiter should be able to fix you up.
  17. Rick, Let me know when you're planning on doing the Chattanooga to Atlanta leg of the trip and I'll try to join you. Randy R
