Alright let me be more precise, its the part of the red stripe under the lights that doesn't work, I really do like the look of the current double stripe. Well I doubt vw is going to change it so hopefully someone is working on aftermarket nuetral bar for under the headlights lol. I suppose there is always the chance it looks better in person.
One of my favorite features about VW's here to fore has been the steering wheels, but this looks like it came out of the GM-Ford parts bin. I hope this is not a trend we will see in the future with the thick spokes where the the thumb and finger tip back rests. Thick spoke steering wheels are hard to use and feel less secure to operate.
I am surprised by the dislike of the e-brake on the forum. I like it in my Tiguan, miss the one from my b6 passat and don't like the hydraulic one I have now.

This Nav looks huge compared to the 315 and 510. Anyone have more info? Model differentiations?

The alternative solution is to keep the somewhat restrictive valves and cool the exhaust post turbine, the cool air is denser therefore you can increasing mass flow rates just as with a valve lift system and still maintain the same pressure ratio. With an actively cooled integrated manifold there is likely no need for valve-lift. I would not be surprised to see valve-lift being offered exclusively in the high output engine. If they do offer valve-lift in the Gti with a robust cooling system to minimize heat soak, it will have a well-spring of power to unlock.
This is how I arrived at my gut feeling, but in the end there are many ways to arrive at the same destination and maybe they chose the valve-lift way.
I am a VW Fan, but above all I am a Car Fan.
I completely agree with regards to the steering wheel. They're raised the bar with it that anything less is mediocre. Anyone else see some similarities with the Evo X wheel?

Another vote for a bad steering wheel. The MK6 version was perfect. I'm also not a fan of the golf ball shift knob. I much preferred the manual shifter in the MK6.
So many of the negative comments are due to VW not adhering to the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Can't they just accept the fact that some features can no longer be improved upon anymore? It seems that they are now simply overkilling everything design wise.

1. I love that red stripe.
2. I love new steering wheel, much better looking than MK6 one.
3. I like the idea of e-brake.
I agree with him, other than the e-brake. Also a huge fan of the golf ball knob.
Original GTI Interior for refference...
Meh. Not a fan. Only good looking part of the car is the seats. That steering wheel is disgusting.
I think part of the problem is that none of the people commenting negatively about the steering wheel have actually seen or held it first-hand. I doubt the pictures do it justice.
As for electronic e-brake. Do not like. The fact that it's not mechanical makes me feel like we're less involved in controlling the machine, you know...there's just more to go wrong.
Ideal setup would be:

Ergonomics on the MK6 steering wheel is brilliant. Far from being "lump of a turd".

I think the proper (and original) term for e-brake (as in emergency brake, not electronic brake) is actually parking brake. It's intented for parking, not for emergency braking... Maybe in 80 y.o. cars it could be used for emergent braking when your rear brakes were more prone to suffer catastrophic failure or not be there at all, lol, but on modern cars regular brakes are always there and working and are always more efficient for braking than good ol' e-brake rear wheels lockup. I can understand concern for manual brake on a RWD car if you really do a lot of stunts, but on a FWD car like GTI it's only eating space and cluttering interior.
It is more effective to lock your brakes in heavy snow (or gravel, sand...) than to rely on the ABS. That's a proven fact. Also...
"Parking" brakes... You're probably right it's the correct term, but it has other uses.
In addition, there have been reports of the ebrake not functioning correctly. In particular, not releasing.
i actually love the new gti steering wheel. and i own a mk6 i would swap given the chance.
Really wished the headlights didnt have the strip. Here's a photoshop I did:
-smoked healights + side mirror turn signals
-colormatched front stripe
-colormatched brakes
I think it looks amazing and is definitely continuing to grow on me.
Why are people so enamoured with this punkass slammed look is beyond me. Looks utterly dumb. I'd put put in the same category as wearing 10 pound golden chain on your neck. Sooo ghetto...

Defense was very good in the 2nd quarter. Allowed 6/22 shooting from the Spurs.
Aminu's fine when he doesn't have to create for himself, he's as horrible a ball handler as there is... Gravy has played like a champ... this 3rd quarter will tell the story for us, we've not faired too well in the 3rd, we've gotta sustain momentum and we'll be fine
Man this FOX sports broadcast seems so much more professional than the old CST ones. I love the HD picture too.
I never thought we'd be sent to a break with an Aminu highlight reel.
Crazy opening game, so far.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Gotta say this is tight! This is the best bench we've had in years with Anderson, Smith, Miller, Mason. Wow is all i can say

Aminu with some sick dunks vazquez with some good playmaking and AD with some good shooting!! Great half
hey leopard girl behind Spurs bech, How do you do?
Really nice 1st half. Couln't have asked for much more. Like how hard this team plays.
Vasquez is going to be stretched physically in the second half. He played 20 minutes in this half (never before in his carrier) and with a very fast paste. He will have to play less minutes and probably will be even slower than usual for the rest of the game.
James Harden don't look right as a Rocket, but he balling right nah!
I've been impressed with everyone so far outside of Rivers.
Aminu is aggressive tonight.

Packard V-1650-1 (Rolls-Royce Merlin 28)
Photo by William Maloney
Gift of Edmund L. Robinson
The "Merlin" engine was designed by Rolls-Royce Limited and was initially known as the PV-12 and produced by Rolls-Royce in England and under license by the Packard Motor Car Company in the United States. The engine was licensed in the U.S. in order to provide a 1,500 hp class engine which was not yet ready by U.S. engine manufacturers. Built by Packard as the V-1650-1 it is based on the Rolls-Royce Merlin 28.
The Merlin is considered one of the most successful aircraft engines of the World War II. It first entered service in the Fairey Battle in March, 1936 and is most closely associated with the Hawker Hurricane, and Supermarine Spitfire, North American P-51D Mustang fighters and the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber.
The engine went through continuous development with production ending in 1960 with over 500,000 Rolls-Royce engines built and over 54,000 Packard models.
In addition to the Battle, Hurricane, Spitfire, Mustang and Lancaster, aircraft that used the either the Rolls-Royce- or Packard-built Merlin include:
Post-WWII, engines were sold relatively cheaply and were modified for air racing the Bendix Trophy, Cleveland Air Races and the Thompson Trophy.
This engine on display fought in WWII in North Africa with the 66th Fighter Squadron of the 57th Fighter Group. It was removed for overhaul from a Curtiss P-40L Warhawk in Libya.
This engine is located in the Military Hangar on the wall near the Douglas A-26C.

Comments about The North Face Mens Bracket Jacket:
great jacket. A little big on me is all. Velcro wrists, large pockets, e-pockets, breathable flaps. The hood if your not wearing a helmet is a disaster to get it to fit just your head. I would give it 5 stars but the hood blows the deal. I wear the jacket casually for non bike errands. The hood slips down in front of your visual area and you cannot get it tight enough around your ears to cover them from the elements. If you do get it tight enough you cannot see clearly as the hood covers your visual range. Very much like tunnel vision.

what to buy
There's no doubt that exercise should be a priority for your health, but it's not always easy to make it a priority in your schedule. The good news is that creating a home gym is as easy as setting up a treadmill in the corner. Whether you're already fit and want to stay that way, or are trying to make some positive lifestyle changes to become less sedentary, a home treadmill can help you reach your goals.
Having the right piece of exercise equipment in your home means you can get your workout in even when the weather is too bad -- or your schedule is too tight -- to make it to the gym. Treadmills are versatile too; just place a board across the arms and you have a walking desk to help you get in some extra steps while watching TV or surfing the Internet. In our separate report on standing desks, we discuss dedicated walking desks, which may be safer and easier to use than hacking a regular treadmill, and we also take a look at the SurfShelf, an inexpensive attachment for a treadmill that can accommodate a laptop or tablet. To help motivate you even further, check out our report on fitness trackers to help you keep track of your steps and other activities.
Another factor that will give you the best motivation for using your treadmill is to purchase the best treadmill for your needs. If price is your top priority, it's important to carefully consider what features you need -- not overspending for extras and add-ons, but also not sacrificing usability and reliability in favor of the lowest bottom line. It's also important to select a piece of equipment that matches the way you want to exercise. If you run, you will need different features than someone who just plans to walk. For example, a runner may need a longer, wider belt and greater shock absorption. By the same token, if you want a treadmill that can also give you some of the benefits of a personal trainer, look for auto-programming features that can shake up your workout with programs that mimic hiking, or can give you circuit exercise options.
Treadmill prices range from less than $100 for basic, non-motorized manual treadmills to well over $10,000 for a fully-equipped model of the kind found in professional exercise facilities. For home use, experts say, you can expect to pay $1,000 or more, but users don't always agree. We found several lower-priced machines that receive very good ratings from plenty of owners. The difference in opinion may come down to a difference in expectations. Experts tend to evaluate treadmills in terms of what a dedicated runner might expect, while many owners don't subject their treadmills to that type of pounding. If you want a treadmill to stand in as an alternative to a long walk, a sub-$1,000 machine will probably serve you well. If you want something for more serious exercise you may want to budget a little more.
Treadmills can be broken down into two broad categories. Folding treadmills are the most popular choice for home use, because the running deck folds up when it's not in use to free up floor space. Most folding treadmills have wheels so you can push it out of the way or move it from room to room, although pushing around all but the lightest weight folding treadmill can be strenuous exercise in its own right. All of the cheapest treadmills are folding models, but, the price can soar with additional features and better build quality. The more expensive models have stronger frames, better running belts, and better electronics. Some also will have advanced workout programs, high-end displays, Internet connectivity, the ability to both incline and decline (to simulate hilly terrain), heart-rate monitors and much more.
If you are a serious runner, however, you might want to consider a non- folding treadmill -- the type found in most gyms and other workout facilities. These are larger, pricier machines, but they feature the best treadmill build quality -- which will help it better endure the rigors of a runner's workout. They also may have longer decks and better shock absorption for a more comfortable run. The downside, of course, is size. You'll need to carefully consider available space before committing to one of these exercise machines.
To find the best rated treadmills, our editors consulted top review sites including ConsumerReports.org, TreadmillDoctor.com, Runner's World and others. These experts not only have good knowledge of what separates a top treadmill from a lower-tier model, they also test each treadmill they recommend. We also look for user feedback -- and some popular treadmills get hundreds of reviews at sites like Amazon.com, Sears.com and Dick's Sporting Goods. We consider performance, of course, but also ease of use, durability, and how responsive the manufacturer is to making things right when something goes wrong. The result of our research is our recommendations for the best treadmills. We also name some very good alternate choices that are very much worth considering by some buyers.
Elsewhere in this Report:
Best Treadmills: For those who take their workouts seriously, non-folding treadmills like those found in gyms and exercise clubs are the best, most durable choices. We name the top treadmills,
Best Home Treadmills: Folding treadmills bring the gym right to your home. The very best models can perform on a par with non-folding, club-grade models.
Best Cheap Treadmills: Can you find happiness in a sub-$1,000 treadmill? The answer is yes … if you choose wisely.
Best Manual Treadmills: Manual treadmills are the cheapest you can buy. But are their low price worth their trade-offs? We look at the considerations and render a verdict.
Buying Guide: Not sure where to start to find the perfect treadmill for you? We discuss key points to help guide you to making the right decision for your exercise needs and budget.
Our Sources: These are the expert and user reviews we relied on in researching this report. Those, combined with the expertise of our editors, are used to find the best treadmills, and the best values, for walkers and runners.

Comments about Truvativ Bolt Kit For Rock Guard:
I needed longer chainring nuts for my single ring conversion, and with a 32t ring, 5mm spacers, crank spider and FSA acrylic clear bash, they did the job perfectly. FWIW, the nut part is 12.5mm long, without the flat head part and the longer bolts are 10mm long without the head. I had about 2-3mm left before the nut goes all the way.
I used blue loctite and snug them tight using the 5mm hex for the bolts and 6mm hex for the nuts. Didn't used the short bolts for the granny, but it was cheaper to get this kit than the E-13 charger one.
The bolts and nuts are stainless, so that's a plus for durability into the wet weather, but time will tell the true. I liked the black finish, but since the nuts threads is bigger than standard, I was not able to use my previous bolts (red), so I'll have to deal with the color change to black. Pretty much the only downside so far. They look nice, but doesn't match as good as my red one did.
This is on a FR bike, and I'm aiming for strength over lightweight parts. Those seems to fit the bill. However I shaved about 5g from using my previous bolts and home-made spacers. The 4 nuts and long bolts plus 4 5mm chainring spacers (10.5mm ID) were about 35g on my small mechanical scale. The previous setup was going for 40g. I went for a good ride with it today and no problem at all.
So if you need a bolt kit for your chainrings, those are 12.5mm long nuts and 10mm long bolts.

About This Place
|Other Details
Although it spans a mere 61 square miles of land, the nation's capital has the distinction of housing the most important landmarks in the nation, along with the federal offices of the three branches of government. Located along the Potomac River on the East Coast, between Maryland and Virginia, the District of Columbia is often referred to as simply "D.C." or "Washington."
Washington, D.C., is divided into four areas (northwest, northeast, southeast and southwest), and many of its neighborhoods exude a distinctive culture and character. Georgetown, home to Georgetown University, is a polished northwest section that draws shoppers to the boutiques and antique shops along its cobblestone streets. Nearby Dupont Circle features diverse architectural styles, with many buildings dating from the 19th century. Among the neighborhood's eclectic lineup of bookshops and galleries, the Phillips Collection—the nation's first modern art museum—is a top D.C. destination for art aficionados.
Capitol Hill is best known for popular Washington, D.C., attractions that include the U.S. Capitol and Library of Congress, but it is also a picturesque residential neighborhood, much of it lined with stately row homes. Bright spots include Pennsylvania Avenue for shopping and dining, and Eastern Market, an outdoor food market that becomes a bustling flea market on weekends. The Adams Morgan neighborhood is distinguished by its diverse ethnic population, reflected in the area's restaurants and nightspots. On a given block, a visitor might find a Brazilian restaurant with live bossa nova music just doors away from authentic Ethiopian fare.
A rich history is reflected in the museums, landmarks and monuments of the nation's capital. The U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court Building and White House, three neoclassical structures that represent the federal seat of power, are leading attractions in Washington, D.C., as is the National Mall. This spacious, open park is the setting for the Washington Monument, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the National Museum of American History. The Mall, also the site of public events and rallies, is where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Less prominent attractions in Washington, D.C., include the quirky Mansion on O, which has daily tours of its 100 eclectic rooms, and the kid-friendly International Spy Museum. The block-long museum, filled with espionage artifacts, offers educational programs and author talks on spies and intelligence-gathering.
Cultural and leisure activities abound throughout the year in the district. Concerts and performances take place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, headquarters of the National Symphony Orchestra and the Washington Ballet. The district's 7,000-plus acres of parkland facilitate outdoor activities, notably at the nearly 3,000-acre Rock Creek Park. The park hosts cultural exhibits and recreational activities, including horseback riding and tennis. The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a springtime event that commemorates the 1912 donation of Japanese cherry trees to the District of Columbia. Activities that include kimono fashion shows and martial arts demonstrations coincide with the blooming of cherry trees in three parks, including one on the grounds of the Washington Monument.

Zinc is regarded as a relatively safe and generally well tolerated when taken at recommended doses, and few studies report side effects. Occasionally, adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea have been observed.
Sideroblastic anemia, leukopenia, microcytic anemia, and neutropenia have been reported in individual case reports following the ingestion of large amounts of zinc.
Reduced levels of high- density- lipoprotein (HDL) "good" cholesterol have been observed following daily supplementation with zinc.
Unpleasant taste, taste distortion, and abdominal cramping have been occasionally reported, especially in studies examining the efficacy of zinc containing lozenges in treating symptoms of common cold or treatment of diarrhea in children. Bleeding gastric erosion, hepatitis (liver inflammation), liver failure, and intestinal bleeding have been reported in individual case reports following the ingestion of higher zinc doses.
Acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis have been reported following the ingestion of large amounts of zinc (doses not specified). Patients with severe kidney disease should reduce or omit taking zinc because it is primarily eliminated in urine.
There is one case report of a fatal outcome from cystic degeneration in putamen and necrosis in the hypothalamus. It was reported as a consequence of zinc treatment for Wilson's disease; however, the patient had received penicillamine, followed by a relatively high dose of zinc per day for several weeks, followed by penicillamine again for an unspecified time so it remains unclear if zinc was responsible for the death.
Slight tingling or burning sensation in the nostril has been reported from zinc nasal gel. A trend toward increased respiratory infections in children has been noted. One case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis has been reported.
Reports of skin conditions have been noted. In one study, worsening of an acne condition was observed following topical application of zinc, although many studies show positive effects of zinc on acne. A case report suggested the presence of dermatitis due to zinc deficiency.
High- quality studies have found evidence of an association between high- dose zinc supplement use and hospitalization for urinary complications, including benign prostatic hyperplasia/ urinary retention, urinary tract infection, and urinary lithiasis. This was especially evident among males.
There is one report of death following the ingestion of 400 coins (mostly pennies). Pennies are composed mostly of zinc. Reduced immune responses have also been observed in a small study.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnancy, Category A: Zinc is categorized as Pregnancy Category A. If this drug is used during pregnancy, the possibility of fetal harm appears remote. Because studies cannot rule out the possibility of harm, however, zinc acetate should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed. Zinc appears to be safe in amounts that do not exceed the established tolerable upper intake level.
Pregnancy, Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with zinc chloride. It is also not known whether zinc chloride can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Zinc chloride should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed under medical supervision.

Hotel news, opinions and updates from the team at The Sukhothai.
The Royal Project's strawberry season is in full swing in Thailand and the pick of the crop is beautiful, sweet and tasty. This year is particular good because the species is Akihime from Japan. Akihimi has a mild sweetness that spreads through your mouth. Its sweetness and sourness is well balanced. We think that ripe and sweet Akihimi will change your thinking about local strawberries in Thailand for sure.

Hi everyone,
Herb gardening is not a difficult hobby to become involved in, and the rewards can be great. Unlike many other types of gardening, the plants are very inexpensive and easy to maintain, especially if you are living in Southeast Asia. The beginner can be an instant success, and as time goes by, develop into a master gardener, growing more difficult and esoteric plants. There is room for all skill levels and many different garden situations. In short, herb gardening is for everybody.

Hi everyone,
We received 2 1/2 kg Alba Truffles yesterday for our White Truffle promotion. This year's harvest seems more delicate and more intoxicatingly fragrant than last year's, with an aroma that is strong, musky and garlicky. The white truffle season runs from early October to early January, with late November and December being the peak.
Most white truffles in the market are the size of a golf ball at most, often smaller, although they can grow to be much larger. They are graded accordi... Read more
Hi readers,
In case you are in Chiang Mai, Thailand, a must try is Beef & Pork noodles in the center of Chiang Mai (please see the pictures).

chicago and Indiana? O'neal, peja, jackson? Chandler or Gordon?
RIP Coach Robinson, Brandon Spincer, and Marquise Hill.
I like Fred Jones, and watched a lot of Pacers games over the last 2 seasons, but I think the last thing we need is another guy who's long on athleticism, but short on consistency. Our roster has more than enough potential, we need results. You hear about a great FJ game maybe 4 or 5 times per season.Originally Posted by Ry4598
Peja makes more sense than anybody, given his familiarity with the offense.
No way we get Ben Gordon or JO I wish there was a way but we dont have much
I couldn't agree moreOriginally Posted by Carpenoctem
Aight i get everthing about who were goin after now (Not because of any skill, jus because today it was spelled out for me) But the one thing i dont get is where does the trade that involve multiple players and teams come in? is that part of the Bulls deal or is there another deal? Cuz Peja we will jus sign up thru FA so he cant be part of a multi team trade. And seems like PJ and JR is the deal for the Bulls. So where does that leave the trade with multiple teams? Jus goin by rumors ive seen i keep seeing stuff about Suns and Sonics being part of a multi team deal, and i know there are rumors about Richard Jefferson being avalible. i guess i'm still holding out some sort of hope for a Richard Jefferson deal (yes i know purely fantasy on my part lol But he would look good playin SG to fill the void we have there) And Bower is supposed to be working on 2 trades, so what will the other move be? Someone please get me an advil.
I again am just not sure about Peja given his injuries...
Without reading back through the thread and at the risk of repeating what someone else has said, it depends on the money and the contract. I like Peja a lot but he's not the second coming. But if it's a halfway decent deal given today's market then I'm down with it.
Richard Jefferson? He is a serious player. Make no mistake about it. I'd love to see him on the team.
Salary cap be damned. Sign 'em all. I think HH is absolutely right about having an attractive team in place when the franchise comes back to N.O. It will mean a lot to Mr. Shinn's bottom line.
Still laughing?Originally Posted by NolaHornets23
Yes but for different reasons
When the trade happens, the picture will be complete of the big moves hinted at earlier.
Interesting how all of those that initially launched a full out attack on me, discrediting me, my source, and my information, are either silent or love the move now that it's been reported! In case you haven't noticed, I've been posting a lot more info recently which is also legit and from inside sources. If its not Ill make it clear that its my opinion. Otherwise, even if Im very discreet about it (like my projected roster for next year), you can assume its from a 1st Degree source. Take notice, I like to give hints and clues but you'll have to do the work speculating to figure it out. If you don't like this game, then don't play it but I think many do and are happy that they found out what was going to happen before it was reported tonight.
I certainly forgive the following posters and hope that they engage in more civil discourse next time I and others offer something significant. Learn to trust this board--I promise you they're a few others on here that also have direct sources and/or significant information from the inside who CHOOSE to NOT post what they know due to the immediate cynicism and criticism they would receive. Let's embrace them, not make a villain out of them!

Yeah I apologize.. You cant blame me for not believeing you.. I did take it to far but im obviously done now.
I'm hearing the Bulls (or as you say "bull") deal could go down tomorrow. How would you like that crow?Originally Posted by NolaHornets23
YES HE IS!Originally Posted by hennessyrob
Did I say stuff about that deal? Once the specifics(that sall I ever wanted) were said I accepted it.
WOW!!!Originally Posted by Harvey Hornet
PJ will be missed. I wish we would have traded him to San Antonio. The only need they have is a foot doctor for Duncan.
Before all you guys start to hug and make up, just know that the Hornets aren't likely done with things yet. Obviously, we have the potential CHI deal coming up. But there could be and should be more stuff to come. Stay tuned...
WCH Well thank you for putting the rest of my life on hold once again. Ever since this stuff has been goin on i have been on this site. Now right when i think imma be able to to go do something constructive tomorrow you come out and say ''more to come'' I wish i liked coffee cuz i could sure use it.
NO1,ive been hearing the same things as you since you posted, dont remember ever doubting. appreciate you keeping the rest informed though, keep it up.
Yes he will. But, the bottom line is PJ is nearing the end. He wanted out hoping to land with a team who might go far in the playoffs. I know the Bulls probably aren't that team, but who says the Bulls won't deal him to a true contender prior to the trade deadline?Originally Posted by Buzzster
I expect and hope for PJ to rejoin the organization in some form when he's finished playing. He's a true pro and a class act. I hope he's a part of the New Orelans Hornets front office upon their full time return in 07-08. George loves the guy (PJ is fond of George too) and I think there is a good chance he'll be back with our organization some day.

Yes, your info was legit. But my criticism still stands. That gloating "Hey, I told you so post" above just proves my point.
In case YOU haven't noticed. This is an internet message board. Coming here, having no credible background and claiming to have an inside source is the same as going to your favourite bar with your buddies and claiming you know a guy whose friend's friend has a girlfriend which happens to know someone in the organisation and heard through a secretary that there might be something happening.
You said "You need to learn to trust this board" ... how about you learn how to present such inside info on an internet message board?
^ i agree. I have learnt to trust this board but i only trust the people on your "thank you list" i.e the mods. They have proven that they have a source and they don't gloat. You can't come on here with a 20 post count and expect everyone to take your word as gospel. You may get off thinking your superior to the average fan because of your "sources" but it just ****es people off.
Just my 2 cents

YESA skid kid on a bicycle With a peg on the forks,card in the spokes and a better noise than a Stainspoon.
Skid till ya fell off.
What else did you need to know
I used to ride dirt bikes, old dirt bikes admitted, but dirt bikes.
On dirt roads the DL is faster and more stable than the bikes I used to ride - 80kph used to be about it, after that it got really scary.
I've seen 130kph on the speedo on the DL - I'll admit, I peeled off 50 of those really quickly , simply because that's an insane speed given 'shit happens' on dirt roads but it was no worries.
The trick on the DL's on dirt appears to be staying balanced and smooth and steering with the rear of the bike, line the front up reasonably right and on and off the throttle to fine tune the steering - until you 'get it' it's uncomfortable.
Fork brace helps lots, steering damper helps lots on things like deep gravel and deep soft sand, hours in the saddle - priceless.
Put a TKC-80 up front and it's actually an amazing dirt road bike. NOT a dirt bike, doesn't like jumps, doesn't like big lumps, but decent dirt - oh yeah baby.
The Strom is one of the most road orientated "dual sport" bikes you can ride so it will probably feel "skatey" when offroad to a road rider, but that's the trade off for the exceptional road manners the Strom has.
I have just spent 5 days with occasional riding of different levels of easy and medium dirt tracks loaded up with a pillion and luggage, this doesn't give me the usual body weight shifts that solo trail riding will allow, so I just remain seated (locked in by pillion & luggage) and apply more pressure on the pegs (almost lifting my bum) as described in the previous posts, this gives me the "trail feel" on the pegs, one big tip is to relax your top half and your grip on the bars, keep your head up and don't look at the potholes or you will hit them, instead always look where you want to go & let the front find it's own way (which it will), I think this is the skatey feeling you are referring to, In time this skatey sliding becomes the fun part of dirt riding & the Strom is a very fun bike to ride

Ha ha I'm not going to get into this but the best bit of advise in hear I have read is PRACTICE and if you can get a smaller bike to practice on first great, If not take it slow and build your confidence !!
Have fun !!

Fester, it's not all you.
I know they say it's [almost] all the rider, and hardly any "the bike".
But you will never convert Miss Piggy into a silk purse.
Just accept her as a cheerful all-rounder with a definite bitumen bias.
You are right, not to restrict yourself from exploring any dirt roads that you happen to come across (provided they're not oozing mud / sand / limestone-ball-bearings). What with all the radars and careless drivers on the main roads, it's a definite pleasure to get away on a slowish ride down those country side-roads.
Riding techniques aside, there is much to be said for fitting a tubeless TKC-80 to the front wheel [as PeteW favours] or maybe a tubeless Mefo Explorer 100/90-19 [which has probably a shade less bitumen grip than the TKC, but is cheaper and longer lasting].
Unless you are a hard charging, hard braking, elbow-scratching on every corner type of rider, then those sorts of dual-purpose tyres will do quite nicely . . . and you will be able to enjoy much more side-road freedom than a Michelin Pilot Road tyre would give you.
* I must criticize you severely for a blunder you made (back in post #30 ?) where you implied some denigration of Dr Karl Kruszelwhatsit.
Whatever you think of his science, you must admit that he consistently shows the safety consciousness of wearing hi-visibility tops.
As I understand it, he has never been hit by a car yet.
Thanks again guys, particularly Mountain Man and Mr Nullabor.
Gotta say I did have an old DR 250, but I sold that to get the V Strom and guess what, I thought it was too skaty on the dirt. BUT - my part time job has a $10k cheque in the mail to me, so I think its time to sacrifice a few grand and get me another dirt bike because I definitely don't want to give up haulin the Strom along the dirt. There's a couple of rides South of Canberra I'm targetting. I fly aeroplanes for a living and I often pick my rides by what I see down in the forests from the air. No point looking down from 37,000 feet at bitumen roads only.
So - buy Offroad riding DVD, research dirt riding course, buy trail bike to crash.
Thanks all
Fester's part time job?
Cheers, Wanderlost
I wee in public.
Well, you told me about nowhere. Well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.
A funny thing happened to me on the way to the Forum . . .
When I checked into the Oz sub-section of another forum (not a Strom forum, but having many Strommy members ~ are we allowed to name it? . . . or do the rules demand that we be very indirect like Parliamentarians referring to "Another Place" ? ) I found a corker of a thread, titled "Riding Technique".
Sponsored by the usually-friendly "Southern Cross" [or similar name], it seemed to be following in the footsteps of our own Stromtrooper thread about Centres-of-Gravity and Weighting-of-Pegs.
Predictably, the "other thread" soon got into some humorous banter [good] but then some of the Flat Earth Society members weighed in [bad] with their bizarre theories about lower being higher (and so on).
All in all, for people with an interest in the same topics as here, that thread is worth reading through . . . though you will have to fight your way past a certain amount of chaff (and chaffing).
Several points were made, which do not appear in "our" thread.
One was a superb photo of a PepsiCola bottle, submitted by "Eepeqez", illustrating the disparity between the concepts of CofG and of support platform (support points).
Thanks, Eepeqez.
Another, was an eye-opening [for me] term or phrase written by "Matt-D" ~ initially he waffled on with the usual clichés of "weighting the pegs", but then he came out with the term "riding outside the bike".
Bingo! . . . and I thought his arrow had got pretty close to the bullseye.
That's a MUCH better phrase to describe what expert riders are actually doing.
And you can see it (again) in K1W1's post #19 snapshot here . . . where the rider, regardless of the extreme angles, has got his body CofG well to one side of his bike's midline.
The rider may or may not be weighting one or the other footpeg, but he has certainly moved his bum and shoulders.
So what? you say . . . nothing new about that technique for cornering on dirt.
But the point here is that the riding technique in reality uses the the off-to-the-side positioning of body CofG . . . and any "weight" on the pegs is really just the tail following the dog (so to speak).
"Overleaning the bike" is exactly the same way of saying what's going on.
Why not use the old cliche "weight the X peg" or "unweight the Y peg" ?
Well, (a) those terms don't tell the novice what "target" he should be aiming to achieve [i.e. getting the body off-centre] to get better cornering effect,
and (b) it raises other confusing issues about the pegs ~ like this : picture a Mad Skillz or Circus Trick Rider doing his cornering by overleaning the bike . . . but this time he is kneeling side-saddle (both knees on the saddle : bum and shoulders off centre-line).
He is achieving the same cornering . . . but there is absolutely no weight on the pegs at all.
Not recommended to do at home. But it illustrates that the weighting on the pegs is not the prime cause of steering (though of course, those pegs are jolly convenient support points when you are standing up in the normal way).
So, Saturn-5, is all forgiven? Can I be welcomed back, now that I have made a clearer explanation of the basis for my skepticism about "weighting" ?
I believe you have a high level of riding abilities, and I believe you have given a lot of excellent practical riding advice in this thread. The operative word being "Practical". But your explanations on the "why of it" have been a touch . . . misleading.
Again my apologies for [necessary?] long-windedness.
Now that that's settled, another question from "The Couch Guide to Off-road Riding":
Why do some GP riders stick their leg out when going into a corner?
EDIT: not a serious Q

Nulla, Life has taught me that fights or arguments never achieve much other than high blood pressure. It was never my intention to give detail instruction, as I said, some 'Tips". Those tips I have learned by falling off or tips passed onto me or by observing those I class as experts, over a very long time. These days there are heaps on the net too.
I pass on tips in good faith but following them is not compulsory.
If it can save someone from a guttser,.... I'm happy.
Safe riding all

Cockeyed by William Missouri Downs
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased by calling the GPAC Box Office at (936) 294-2339
Phil, an average nice guy, is madly in love with the beautiful Sophia. The only problem is that she?s unaware of his existence. He tries to introduce himself but she looks right through him. When Phil discovers Sophia has a glass eye, he thinks that might be the problem, but soon realizes that she really can?t see him. Perhaps he is caught in a philosophical hyperspace or dualistic reality or perhaps beautiful women are just unaware of nice guys. Armed only with a B.A. in philosophy, Phil sets out to prove his existence and win Sophia?s heart. This fast moving farce is the winner of the HotCity Theatre?s GreenHouse New Play Festival. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called Cockeyed a clever romantic comedy, Talkin? Broadway called it ?hilarious,? while Playback Magazine said that it was ?fresh and invigorating.?

The Charming Town of Boonsboro
The Charming Town of Boonsboro
This beautiful, historic town is burrowed at the foot of South Mountain in Washington County, Maryland. The land where the town is located was part of two tracts, "Beale's Chance" and "Fellowship". Founded in 1792 by brothers George and William Boone, relatives of the more famous Daniel Boone, Boonsboro was originally named Margaretsville in honor of George's wife, Margaret. Eventually, Margaretsville changed to Boonesborough then later to Boonsboro. This spelling variance occurred around 1841 or 1842 when a local newspaper editor couldn't get the town's name to fit in his masthead. Even today, some official documents still use the old spelling.
On the 4th of July in 1827, residents of Boonsboro built the first monument ever to honor President George Washington, being restored again in 1882 and again in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
In 1823, a new process called "macadam" was used to finish an unpaved section of the turnpike from Boonsboro to Hagerstown. This was the first time the road building process was used in the United States. Stagecoaches using the road during the winter needed 5 to 7 hours of travel to cover 10 miles. Boonsboro quickly grew and prospered.
Boonsboro's old-style homes and beautiful antiquated architecture and brick sidewalks bring enchantment and wonder to this small American town. Boonsboro may not be large in the size of residents, but it has several museums dedicated to items found throughout its farming land left from the Civil War, bookstores (with one belonging to Nora Roberts, bestselling romance author), and cheery cafes to visit while taking a break from shopping.
The first battle of the Civil War fought on northern soil, was the Battle of South Mountain on September 14, 1862. Many of the area churches, public buildings and private homes in the town of Boonsboro were used as hospitals to nurse hurt soldiers during that time.
Today, the picturesque town of Boonsboro is a charming and peaceful community full of history and discovery.

Awesome quality
I was a little hesitant when I saw the website about how thick the magnet would be and the picture quality. I ordered the sample and everything arrived in an awesome kit along with an actual magnet. After I ordered mine and they were delivered, I was so HAPPY with how they turned out. Not too bulky and the picture quality was great. It came in a cool box with a whole packet about invitations too. Everyone loves them! Can't wait to get my invitations from them. This company is amazing and makes me confident in anything I'll order from them.
I'm so happy I decided to shop around and look at other websites for Save-the-Dates. I have been in love with the mustache and lips for a long time and I love that they are coming back in trend. I found a mustache and lips magnet with no picture and I really liked it but wanted one with a picture. I searched some more and found one! I love that we could personalize it with our own wedding colors. We used a rustic save-the-date sign in our engagement pictures and the part of the design that normally has the date printed I changed to read "We mustache you to....". It all came together perfectly. The price was decent and the size of the magnets is perfect, not too big and not too small. I will definitely come back to Magnet Street for future needs.
Great Magnets!!
The magnets turned out great! A wonderful size and reasonable price.
Amazing cards, low price
Loved this stationary! Simple, elegant, great quality! Turned out exactly how it shows. Wish I had a little more room to write, but probably would have been too much writing anyways! Magnets were perfect, invitations were just as I expected (and the pearly paper I chose was a great choice), stickers were so cute! Rsvp cards were also great! Highly recommend this website!
We love our Save the dates!!
The site was super easy to use! Many different options! Offered suggestions with coloring so our date would "pop". Shipping was fast! End quality was EXCELLENT! Definitely would recommend!

text: Comment: Bought a pair of these Rain Suits before our big 4k trip, just in case. We ended up riding through 3 and a half days of down pour rain though Canada. We stayed completely dry the entire time. These suits are easy to get in and out of, very quick to dry out at the end of the day. And the price.... Incredible. It saved our trip. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Excellent quality.

The multi-phase, multi-year project is expected to wrap up by fall 2015.
Work will continue in March 2014 with Improvements on West Henrietta Road/Mt. Hope Avenue at the bridge over I-390. A new ramp will be constructed and there will be some additional work on the approaches to the bridge. The project is expected to be complete this fall.
Live camera: http://valcamera1.net.rochester.edu/
Updates are available at www.dot.ny.gov/access390.
Contact Shawn Casey at 275-2082 with questions or concerns.
Recent updates:
Northbound I-390 is scheduled to close between West Henrietta Road (exit 16) and Scottsville Road (exit 17) from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting Monday, March 17, for approximately five nights. Northbound traffic will be detoured to exit at East Henrietta Road (exit 16) and will be directed to continue straight to West Henrietta Road, left to Jefferson Road, right to Scottsville Road to re-enter I-390 North. Detours will be posted all week.
The entrance ramp from West Henrietta/Mt. Hope (Rt.15) to I-390 northbound will be closed and motorists should follow the detour. Southbound traffic on I-390 will not be impacted.
Also during this time, I-390 will be reduced to a single northbound lane at approximately 7 p.m. each night. A single northbound lane will be reopened at 5 a.m. All lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. each morning. Work will take place each night next week, as weather conditions permit.
The closures allow for the placement of steel girders on top of concrete piers as part of the project to create a new entrance ramp from Kendrick Road to I-390 Northbound along the Erie Canal in the town of Brighton.

The people at the Gerson Institute, even its 90-year-old founder, are suddenly big Def Leppard fans.
Earlier this month, Phil Collen, the longtime guitarist for the iconic band, went to the institute's headquarters in the hip Normal Heights neighborhood of San Diego to deliver a $20,000 donation, most of it raised from the auction of a custom-built guitar. He then played four songs on his acoustic, including "Pour Some Sugar On Me."
For a few minutes, inside the walls of a former Wells Fargo bank branch, the '80s ruled again.
Click here to watch a video of Collen's performance and donation.
Collen, 54, could have given the money, and lent his name, to just about any nonprofit. But he chose one that fits with his belief that eating a healthy diet can make you feel better, keep illness at bay and live longer. Collen, who has lived in Laguna Hills for the past two decades, became a vegetarian in 1983, just as Def Leppard was rising from hair-metal heroes to pop-crossover superstars. He gave up drinking in 1987, after one too many benders that left him "legless" drunk and blacked out.
There are skeptics
Collen also is untroubled by the Gerson Institute's mixed reputation. The group claims it can help people with serious illnesses, including cancer, through a regimen that includes large quantities of organic fruit and vegetable juice, coffee enemas to help the liver cleanse the body of toxins, and nutritional supplements. The Gerson Therapy has many fervent believers, and the group cites case studies of people who say they've been cured of a range of diseases, including breast and pancreatic cancers. But there's little scientific evidence that the treatments work. Mainstream doctors say the therapy's low-sodium diet can be dangerous for some patients. The larger peril, doctors say, is that truly sick patients will pursue the Gerson regimen while ignoring traditional avenues of treatment that might give them a better shot at survival.
"It doesn't hurt to try," Collen says. "So it's a great thing. It can hurt having chemo. We know that. It can mess you up. Yeah, it can kill and destroy cancer tumors, which it does. But unfortunately it kills a lot of the other stuff with it. So what harm is it to actually eat right?
"Cancer feeds on sugar and salt," he adds. "It thrives on it. It's like you're just literally feeding it. We know that. You go to a hospital, when you come out, they'll tell you. They'll go, 'Well you should exercise and eat leafy greens.' They tell you all this, but we don't listen. We go straight back to the pizzeria, we eat cheese, we eat meat, we eat God knows what. And people just don't listen. ... If you're skeptical, just change your diet. What have you got to lose? And you've got everything to gain."
It's personal to him
This isn't just about one rocker's health. It's personal for the British-born Collen. His father, Kenneth, died of pancreatic cancer in 2004 at age 81. When his father was diagnosed, Collen flew to London and, he says, "actually had the best time with my dad that I'd had in our whole lives" while he tended to him. But the cancer took him quickly. There was nothing to be done.
"If I'd have known about the Gerson Institute back then ... ," Collen says, his voice trailing off. "Just even about what to do."
Collen says he went vegetarian, nearly 30 years ago, on principle. "I gave that up because it was like Jeffrey Dahmer's fridge. I would open it up and go 'Oh my god, there's a dead body in there.'"
His decision gave him an immediate surge of energy. He needed it, just to keep up with one of rock's most popular bands. Collen joined Def Leppard in 1982, replacing guitarist Pete Willis, who was fired for drinking too much. The band was recording the album "Pyromania," which produced a string of hits and set the stage for the wildly successful "Hysteria" album in 1987. The record spawned seven hit singles and sold 20 million copies, vaulting the group, and Collen, to international fame.

Special Initiatives
Major activities of the NOA include the encouragement of young artists and composers through competitions and performance opportunities, sharing resources for collegiate and regional productions, and publication of scholarly articles. Special initiatives of the NOA include:
- NOA Lifetime Achievement Awards
The NOA recognizes the sustained and significant achievements of those who have dedicated their lives to opera by bestowing the NOA Lifetime Achievement Award.
- NOA Stage Director Internship Program
A competitive program for stage directors near the beginning of their professional careers. Application deadline for the 2015 cycle is March 15, 2015. Please read the internship guidelines for more information.
- The Legacy Project
The National Opera Association recognizes the importance of ethnic and racial diversity in professional opera. The Legacy Project of the National Opera Association is established to achieve that goal by recognizing the contributions of those who have led progress toward that goal, and to assist, through career development grants, those who demonstrate potential to advance the goal.
- The Sacred in Opera
The Sacred in Opera seeks to promote operatic representations of the religious quest through encouraging places of worship, colleges/universities, and communities to expore the dynamic interplay of opera and theology. This combination has long formed a powerful catalyst for spiritual thought. From the emergence of the Quem Quaeritis trope, which heralded the rebirth of theatre after the Dark Ages, the church's role in the development of dramatic and musical representation was pivotal in laying the foundations for modern opera.
- Goldovsky Foundation
The Goldovsky Foundation of the National Opera Association was granted full authority to preserve, publish, and copy Boris Goldovsky's books, editorials, tapes of Metropolitan Opera broadcasts, and scores, as a means of preserving the legacy of one of the most influential opera directors and educators of the 20th century.

Patrol: An American Soldier in Vietnam
Patrol: An American Soldier in Vietnam (Paperback)
Related Editions
A young American soldier waits for his enemy, rifle in hand, finger on the trigger. He is afraid to move and yet afraid not to move. Gunshots crackle in the still air. The soldier fires blindly into the distant trees at an unseen enemy. He crouches and waits -- heart pounding, tense and trembling, biting back tears. When will it all be over?
Walter Dean Myers joined the army on his seventeeth birthday, at the onset of American involvement in Vietnam, but it was the death of his brother in 1968 that forever changed his mind about war.
In a gripping and powerful story-poem, the award-winning author takes readers into the heart and mind of a young soldier in an alien land who comes face-to-face with the enemy. Strikingly illustrated with evocative and emotionally wrenching collages by Caldecott Honor artist Ann Grifalconi, this unforgettable portrait captures one American G.L's haunting experience.
About the Author
Walter Dean Myers is the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, New York Times bestselling author of Monster, and winner of the first Michael L. Printz Award. The critically acclaimed author of Kick, Lockdown, Dope Sick, Game, Street Love, The Autobiography of My Dead Brother, Handbook for Boys, and Bad Boy, he is considered one of the preeminent writers for children. Walter's novel shooter is the inspiration for the film Case 219.
His latest picture-book collaboration with his son, Christopher Myers, We Are America: A Tribute from the Heart, is a love letter to the United States that reimagines what it means to be an American. Visit www.who-is-america.com to find out more!
Walter lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, with his family.
