    recommended suspension shops?

    Looking for a shop to do an install on a new rear shock and front end internals on my FJR. I'd do it myself but unfortunately don't have the garage space. Looking for a reputable suspension shop around the front range.

    Are suspension threads becoming the new "what's the best oil"?

    Without question.

    I've worked with Dave for the better part of the last 7 years and every time he finds a way to make my bike work better.

    We're starting with a different racebike this year, so it's going to be fun to sort this thing out!

    I can't say enough good things about his work and I highly recommend him and his shop.

    I've been looking at a couple handguns. Should I get 9mm, .40, or .45?

    .40 is too expensive to shoot.

    That really all depends on what you're aiming (no pun intended) to do with the gun. If you're just plinking, I'd suggest a .22 because you can literally shoot all day for $10. If your goal is home defense, then I'd actually recommend a 12 ga. shotgun. If you're looking for something to carry, then you should go with whatever you're most comfortable with. The S&W MP is a great gun. Other people really like the Glocks, but I'm not a fan. Even though the MP is basically a Glock replica, I find I shoot better with the MP. I'm also a huge fan of Sig Sauer and Heckler & Koch, but they can be a bit pricey, especially the H&K.

    I'm a new rider and need a liter bike. 600's are for fags. What's the best year for a GSX-R1000?

    Definitely get a 1400 Busa and turbocharge it. Bitches love turbochargers.

    "Bithces" is a derogatory term. But then again, what would an ultra liberal like myself expect from some ultra right wing defender of justice? This is what is wrong with this country. And the tea party. And Occupy. Why can't you people see what I think is the truth? What is wrong with you people?

    Like Han Solo, this is why Zimmerman was justified in shooting!

    Did you know that 9/11 was an inside job to cover up the true story of the great fire of 1979 that supposedly started in a garage when the chipmunk ingested some fertilizer and then fell into a can of kerosene, instantly turning him into a flying little fluffy little molitoff cocktail that set ablaze leveling the whole neighborhood west of Newton's Hardware Store?
