STLBILL

I have to say I've seen smaller dealer inventories!

Curious - you said "JPEG" not "JPG". Any chance you are using a four-letter file extension and it is set to accept a three-letter one?

It would be fine with me if they played in Chernybol before they played in France. Or better yet... Let's just have the French play in Chernybol while everyone else plays somewhere else!

Storage and transfer cost money. I have to be suspicious of any site that provides too much for too little.

Man that is one dude psyched up about going riding... Something about that makes me feel good. It's like when I watch an entire family ATV riding together. With all the drugs and murders and bad news in the world it's just nice to see some people enjoying life.

West Saint Louis County and adjacent Saint Charles County has been growing and they've been doing this a lot. I don't know of anyone who was unhappy with the money they got. There are some very very very wealthy farmers in West Saint Louis! A 100 acre age-old pumpkin farm is for sale right now for about 10 million dollars total. The first 50 acres has already been sold. The big problem for a very few people is - like you said - their attachment to the property. If you can let the property go and take the money it's not a big deal. -Bill

Someone from here just bought a house in Aurora. He posted some pics and it was a house with at least a mile view in all directions. I don't know if that jogs anyone's memory, but anyone in Aurora would have to know about Naperville. On the map Naperville is only an inch or two from Aurora...

This is a good start. Now, how do we find the property owned by the eight other Justices?

Yes, unlike on ATVs everyone has to race and compete. I learned my speed lesson two years ago when I broke my back in four places on the Banshee. I have also observed people with Yamaha's like Yamaha's and think everyone should have one; people with Sea Doos like Sea Doos and think everyone should have one and so on. Nobody will admit they bought the wrong brand and everyone is always trying to show everyone else they did. Brand-loyalty seems to be stronger among PWC owners than with ATVs.

I'm still stuck on the details... do condoms really come in a "family pack"? That seems like an oxymoron or bad marketing at best. How did Alanis Morissette miss this in her song, "Ironic"?

Sounds nice. You didn't bring us any pictures?

Last one...

Doesn't look like anyone from here went, but here the pics anyway. Like most hare scrambles the Banshee was present, but clearly a rare find...

Sucks about the bike. Probably going to be hard to identify because every time I see one of those crotch rockets it's a blur... I agree - Joe! My dad had a 66 Chevelle SS 396 when I was a baby and more recently a 70 Nova SS 396. What I want to know is why I've heard people refer to the 396 as a "truck motor"? -Bill

I haven't been PWCing much this year, but I'll check it out! Honda PWCs are hard to find stuff for because relatively speaking they are very new at it. It should be neat to see who acquires Polaris' market share now that they are going to stop making boats. -Bill

Oh boy... this is bound to become a very long thread.... Words do not do it justice. You need a test ride to understand. The Banshee may not be the fastest thing on the showroom floor any more, but for the same money in after market modifications it can easily reclaim the title. They can be adjusted for MX, but I still don't think there weight distribution or unpredictable power band makes them the best machine for jumping. I don't see much of a problem with ruts on trails as long as you don't mind going fast. This ATV is aptly named. I suggest you look up Banshee in the dictionary sometime. -Bill

Hi all: Just learned if you slide or spin an aluminum wheel and rubber tire fast enough the debris shower can explode as it basically makes "rocket fuel". You pretty much need to keep going on a flat tire to produce this effect. (source: History channel Modern Marvels). Interesting... sounds like a damn good reason to buy bead locks to me! Sounds like something someone on here should have experienced by now? -Bill

Excellent! Very funny! Definately has to be shared with the PWC discussion forums I frequent! It is about time someone protects those American Bullfrogs! Bill 2003 Honda Aquatrax F-12X

What surface was it then? It doesn't sound like asphalt because they were throwing chunks of dirt and such... ? Definately sounds like a good time was had by all...

I wished I knew about it earlier. I've never been to an ATV sand drag! Can one of you guys tell me when the next one is? -Bill

It is real... according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information Service (GNIS): Note all the variant names noted by the USGS database!!!! I bet most of the locals use the last one... Lake Webster. http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_quer...tab=Y&id=619290 and... for those who require a visual reference - Mapquest: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?pan=s...u9P9GwCMeKqo%3d

I have always been fascinated with superheroes with special powers. Batman had none. Just gadgets and toys. Superman had an entire story behind how he came to Earth and some justification as to why he was so special. I'm not as interested in how someone can just build a case and buy a bunch of expensive toys. The Fantastic 4 like the X-Men looks neat. The Spiderman movies and the Hulk were overdone with special effects. If you look close at both of the movies you can see the computer graphics or animation as opposed to film-quality scenes.

FYI - Missouri Hare Scrambles (GNCC type) going on this coming weekend at Saint Joe State Park. This annual event is for a good cause - Racers for Research. The racers will start in town and get a police escort down the pavement to the race course. More information is here: http://www.mhscracing.com/
