Hey Everyone! I'll be in Bogota by the end of the Day!
Until then.
Cuttle: My foot would swell a little after walking so much, but it never hurt. I didn't have any problem, and now it looks almost the same as my right leg! The only difference I see how is from where the plate and screws are underneath!
Poolman: You've been there, seen that stuff. Nice "Chinchilla". I'll stick to the Chinchilla version from now on.
Until I get to Bogota, where I might feel like catching up to the present day with my blog, I loaded a video of Machu Picchu. Lets see if this will work!
At least the direct link should.

Awesome report, I feel like I've been right along with you. Actually I've been using this report to subliminally convince my fiancee to meet me in S. America somewhere (i.e. get to ride there...she gets to fly). First time she's actually been excited about me taking a ride.
I've got one of those old injuries and hiking uphill is fine for me, hiking downhill.... Keeping a stash of Advil works wonders for me.
Congrats and keep having fun!.

Its taken me three evenings of pretty steady reading to get caught up, but this is one SA-WEET RR! And BigAl - you are one lucky dude! Hang on to Kristi - she'd definitely a keeper!
Looking forward to more updates. Best of luck in your travels!

IN BOGOTA! Everything is where I left it!
srad600: Hey man. Work whatever angle you have! I told Kristi, "Hey, lets go somewhere awesome after you graduate... Like Australia, where I can work under my Canadian passport. You can do whatever you want..." We'll see how it goes, but it sounded pretty good to her!
More to come sooner than later.
C-Stain: You made it! Now you have to wait for updates! Thanks for the compliments on the ride report! Kristi isn't going anywhere! Don't worry. Oh, well, maybe you should, cause you can't have her! HA!
I've made it to Bogota, and the same day I arrived here, Tom and Charlie arrived in Cusco. My current plan is to catch them. We'll see how it goes.
For the interim though, Tom has an issue with his rear shock, and has requested that I get the public in on it. Spill your guts everyone.
From Tom's own post under the DR650 thread:
Help! Blown DR650 rear suspension in Peru
Hey Guys,
I've been on the road six months now on my 2008 DR650. I started in Seattle with Alex Smith (RR: No Jobs, No Responsibilities) in April and now I've finally arrived in Cusco. The bike has performed admirably the entire 15,000 miles so far, although over the last week my rear end has absolutely given out. I carry a lot of gear, and I'm sure that has something to do with it. It also didn't help that I just covered 700 miles of dirt in ten days fully loaded from Huaraz to Cusco on the inland mountain roads. It was a blast, but now I'm paying for it.
Before we set off I replaced the stock spring with a 8.3kg/mm upgrade from Procycle. It stiffened everything up real nice but has since let me down. I'm 6'2" 185lbs; when I left on the trip I could only stand over the bike with my heels off the ground. Now I can sit on the seat flat footed with bent knees. It has sagged a lot. Furthermore, the shock must be gone because after every speed bump the bike bobs up and down three times before leveling out. It's not fun or safe to ride in the current state. From what I've gathered I need a new spring and a new shock.
I've searched the forums quite a bit over the last few days when I had internet, but I can't find what I'm looking for. What do you all recommend I do for a situation like this here in Cusco, Peru? I've already paid a Peruvian mechanic $60 who said he could rebuild it and he ripped me off. The bike sat higher for about ten miles before it sagged again. I was stupid to trust him anyway.
Are there other rear shocks that fit on the DR650 easily? Anyone know if a 2010 Yamaha Tenere stock shock would fit (my current riding partner Charlie has one in California we could ship down). They don't sell many big bikes here in Peru so replacements are hard to find.
Am I best off ordering a brand new Ricor Racing rear shock from Procycle.us and paying (and waiting) for the international shipping? Can anyone recommend an awesome replacement (I hear Cogent is the best, but I don't have time to send my busted piece home and wait)? I'm willing to spend a considerable chunk of cash to put this behind me and have the bike better off for it.
I arrived here Saturday evening which means most mechanic shops are closed tomorrow. I met a guy on a Harley today who knows a real mechanic so hopefully Monday I can go to him with all these questions as well. Any info you guys can offer before I get there would be great. I don't want to get ripped off again and I don't want some junk Peruvian replacement that will blow out another 1,000 miles down the road. Sorry for all the questions, it's just that most threads on this issue don't pertain to people in the third world. I've learned everything I know about motorcycles on this trip, so anything new you guys can teach me would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,
Ok! Now help him fix his problem...I demand of thee! And read his blog! www.thetomreport.blogspot.com

crusty bandage?
They use plain old ginger ale in nursing homes to flush IV lines, I suppose it would do well to soften the bandages too. Plus if the spicy food tears up your stomach it'll handle that too!! It's kind of like your leatherman, just in a bottle LOL!
You're one lucky dude! Someone once told me,"There's only 2 types of riders, those that have been down, and those that will be down." You've been down enough for awhile, it'll get better, simple law of averages thing. As many have said, listen to some of us old asses, heal right the first time! Hell I still have a slight limp from the bus that took me out 3 days b4 my 21st bday, and that was 24 yrs. ago! The worst is over, stay safe, and ride on. AFTER YOU HEAL!

Has Tom's shock leaked fluid? You'll notice it leaks oil because the whole area will be damp and dirty. The rubber stopper will look "wet" even after washing, etc. It's very hard to miss.
If it hasn't leaked oil and if a DR650 uses a shreader valve, try pumping around 145 PSI into the shock bladder. It might have just lost it's nitrogen. (air will work, no harm done). If you don't have a pump to get this high try to find a road biker as their tires often take higher pressure and many of their pumps go up to 150psi. A compressor would work too but be damn careful. If you can control the regulator that's best. I wouldn't do it otherwise. The bladder is very small.
If the shock is off the bike and during the stroke you can hear sounds like air being sucked through the valve stack it's got a leak somewhere and requires a rebuild. The dampening will remain crap till fixed.
I can't see a spring wearing out. Yes, they do wear out, but it shouldn't be a problem after 15,000 miles.
There are two seals that seal the nitrogen in. One is the shreader valve itself, and the other is the bladder when inserting it into the bladder chamber with the cap inside the bladder.
The places the OIL can leak is that same seal the bladder makes with the bladder chamber, the dampening valve on top, and the shaft/chamber seals on the rod side. Above the bottom of the rod assembly is a "piston" assembly with seals for the shaft and outer chamber.
Replacing these seals require a complete shock disassemble and re-install. Not overly hard but you'd still need the parts...
Wasn't it Columbia where the police use DR650's? Any chance a shop there can hook you up with a rebuilt shock? Or a new one if you are willing to drop the money (they aren't cheap).

Antonio Banderas would make an ideal Spainish guide according to your Mom.
And, for the record, that was a 2003 Triumph T-100. Took it for a spin, did you?

Took it for a spin.
Padre: You take the keys from the Zuma, and the keys from theTriumph, and you put them somewhere, likely in your locked office. Yet you never lock the door that leads to the room that has the entire set of family vehicle keys, lined up.
I rode it, the fall of 2008, with Kristi on the back, to the Movie theater and went out for Ice Cream.
I was complimented on "my bike" that I was quick to say was my Dads. And the man asked what year it was, '77, '76, '75???
"Nope, it's an early 2000's Bonneville T100, a remake of the older versions." said me.
"Damn. That's cool." Said the guy.
"Yeah, it's cool," Said me.
Of course, I looked cool too wearing Andy's black and blue leather biking jacket. Not to mention Kristi straddling the back seat in leather boots. Yes. We looked awesome.
I took it for a spin and it was awesome. I think I rode it more that year than you did... Just kidding.
Alas, you sold it to some poor, soon to be divorced guy that needed it more than you. I'm glad I rode it while I had the chance!

Moto Asistance
Hey Mr Shaggy glad you are well and back in Bogotá. I just read about Tom's issue with the DR.
FWIW I was recommended a shop in Lima where we took our bikes for maintenance and I would blindly recommend it to you as well. The place is called Moto Performance (http://www.motoperformanceperu.com/) give them a call and see what they can do for the bike. There is this tall dude there whose name I cant recall but he knows his trade. When I was there they had a couple of KLRs and one DR from fellow foreign travelers. They were really helpful. (Maybe they can even recommend someone in the cusco area).
ANyways, sounds like the trip has been a blast even with the hiatus, and that you will be back on the road soon.
Best of luck, safe riding.

Great pictures of Machu Picchu! How did you find the hiking at that altitude? You must be looking forward to getting back on the bike.
BTW tell Tom to take a break from riding till he gets that shock fixed. Those roads sound bad enough without a bad shock to kick him off the saddle at the wrong time.

GRINNELL, Iowa (AP) Leaders at Grinnell College have decided not to scrap its need-blind admissions policy for now.
Grinnell is one of the nation's wealthiest private liberal arts colleges, managing a $1.5 billion endowment that has grown to among the country's largest, thanks to investment advice from former trustee and Omaha billionaire investor Warren Buffett. But the Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/UVeEIz) that the college's board of trustees had been considering pulling back from its need-blind admissions policy where acceptance is not based on ability to pay because of budget concerns.
On Saturday, the board voted to keep the need-blind policy, but will revisit the issue in the fall of 2015. If the college hasn't made sufficient progress toward fundraising and tuition revenue goals, it may end the need-blind policy.

I don't know where you guys were sitting but in the lawn it was a pretty dead crowd. Admittedly, I'm just a bigger fan of the first four albums.
I dunno maybe I'm not a big enough fan. In fact I know I'm not a big enough fan.

I dunno maybe I'm not a big enough fan. In fact I know I'm not a big enough fan.
And I wouldn't say you weren't a big enough fan. An older guy next to me was clearly not that big of a fan but I'm pretty sure he still had a great time at the show just by seeing him dancing, smiling, etc. I really think the importance of good seats is underrated for show enjoyment.
Now if you sat front row and had a bad show experience then something is wrong.
Louisiana Bayou (which I don't hate, but it's way overplayed) -- dodged.
Everyshow -- dodged.
Deer Creek is rapidly climbing towards SPAC / Alpine / Gorge status for DMB shows. There were a lot of people in the crowd who were saying they had a better time at DC than Alpine this year.
As for crowds, the crowds get worse in the lawn the further you get from the Warehouse section. That's your best bet for DMB fans there to see a show, not get drunk and party.
Sorry I missed you n2 Matt -- we drank a little too fast, then the rains kicked in and I wanted to get inside to my second poster before they all sold out. Next time you come down to Cincy for a Reds game or otherwise, shoot me a text. I owe you a beer or something for letting me actually touch a real DMB setlist.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Lots of ampitheaters are closing up shop or being replaced by much smaller venues. With the push of suburban sprawl, most of these places are now sitting on valuable land (when they once were in the middle of nowhere). Plus, the simlpe fact is that there aren't a lot of touring acts with the draw of a DMB to sell 25,000 - 30,000 tickets.
Luckily there's good ol' Riverbend -- built on a flood plane to ensure no one will want ever want the property for development reasons.

DMB's 2010 Tour kicked off tonight in style:
#27 [tease] »
Hello Again
Proudest Monkey »
Funny the Way It Is
Rye Whiskey
Shake Me Like a Monkey
Busted Stuff
Kit Kat Jam
Grey Street
You & Me
Dancing Nancies
Too Much
Ants Marching
Break for It
You Might Die Trying
For those scoring at home, that's 2 songs returning from 7 year breaks (Busted Stuff & Kit Kat Jam), 2 songs returning from 4 year breaks (JTR & Hello Again), and one song debuting, finally, after being sound-checked 4 years ago (Break for It).
I'm fighting the temptation to drive to New York for next weekend's show -- even though I have tickets for Cincy and Indy already in 3 weeks.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Should be really great tour considering they're taking next year off. And I would think 2012 is going to be awesome as well.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Situational Hitting is Stupid
I've not been into DMB as much the last couple years but recently my parents were clearing some stuff out of their basement and all my cd's were down there. So the last few days I've been going back through and I'm loving it. I've got tickets for June 22nd in Columbus looking forward to it.

A celebrity's life is certainly not more important – but their life lessons are much more accessible to us all. Stuart Scott, an anchor on ESPN, was a man's man who delivered sport's highlights like none other. For the last eight years, he has also battled appendiceal cancer – until January 4, 2015 when ESPN announced he had passed away at 49. In his mind, Stuart did not "lose his battle to cancer." He beat it by the way he lived. As he said, "Fighting is winning," and even if one's fight ends, his perspective here was also very inspiring:
"When you die that does not mean you lose to cancer; you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live."
Yet in his acceptance speech for the 2013 Jimmy V Foundation Award for Perseverance, he sobered the crowd by revealing his source of perseverance. It was not, as they say, "the triumph of the human spirit." Instead, he pushed the spotlight onto unsung heroes – his sister, whom he called just to cry; his friends who came just to listen; his bosses who asked to drop off food. He knew the battle was greater than him alone, so he embraced his limitations and gladly leaned on others:
"So fight like hell, and when you get too tired to fight, then lay down and rest and let someone else fight for you."
Still, the battle proved greater than his best efforts and the overwhelming human support which celebrities often enjoy.
"It recently came back a third time. To be honest, I'm scared. I've always been afraid of cancer, but this time feels different. My confidence is shaken. I'm a little more vulnerable, a little more aware of my mortality, a little more uncertain about my future…" (Men's Health interview – 3-25-13).
Can you relate to Stuart? I can. Sometimes in life we encounter trials that are clearly greater than us, like my battle with Stage IV metastatic melanoma. This is why that well-intentioned phrase, "You're going to beat this," falls so flat for me. As if we could simply will our way out of a disease – believe me, I tried!
So now what – where do we turn when our coping skills and support prove unstable?
He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. – Psalm 62:6
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him. – Nahum 1:7
You may not be famous like Stuart Scott. You may not have tens of thousands followers rooting for you on Twitter. Yet rest assured, when you turn to THE Stronghold – you will be truly "known." He is The Great "Someone Else" who will fight for you. Lean on Him – because He is there for you, with you, and best of all… in you!
Lord, help all of us sense Your overwhelmingly good Presence in the midst of our trials.
Find out how Joe got through his Stage IV cancer journey. His book, My Stronghold, is part of our free gift basket to cancer patients.

Grilled Sirloin Steak
|Sirloin steak
|4 Pound (About 2 Inch Thick)
|Olive oil/Vegetable oil
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs)
|Wine vinegar/Cider vinegar
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
|Thyme leaf
|1 Teaspoon, crumbled
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking. Trim off any excess fat, then score the remaining fat edge at 1-inch intervals so the meat will lie flat on the grill. Place the steak in a shallow 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass dish.
2. Mix the oil, vinegar, salt, thyme and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the steak. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
3. Prepare the grill so the coals are medium-hot.
4. Grill the steak 5 inches from the heat, brushing the steak several times with the marinade from the pan, for 15 minutes on each side for rare, 20 minutes on each side for medium and 25 minutes on each side for well done, or until the steak is done as you like it.
5. Remove the steak to a cutting board or a large platter. Let the steak "rest" for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak 1/4 inch thick.

mac on a pc
idk y but i wanna run mac, but i dont want to buy one,
can i dual boot mac and windows? from different partitions? system specs are in sig!
i want everything to work! can i dual boot mac and windows? say if i go buy mountain lion?
could it work? or would i have to vmware workstation it?
is the upgrade from ml to lion free?
if so how do i do it?
i know how to create partitions and stuff in windows what format does partition have to be?
Re: mac on a pc
You mean you want to run OSX? Cant say "run mac". Like run a mac inside your machine?
What do you want OSX for? You can run a Vm and get it working with special modded ISO's and its legal if you own a copy of OSX.
What in OSX do you specifically need?
Re: mac on a pc
TN - As others have said, while this can be done, if you are truly interested in this platform, buy a Macbook or iMac. A Mac Mini would be the best bet and cheapest. You can find one of those on Ebay for cheap for a model or two behind.
That being said - It can be a fun journey/experiment to get to work right. VIN86 has one working perfectly and I have one on my PC I dual boot with Windows 7. I use them both.
This will get you started: http://www.osx86project.org/
Re: mac on a pc
im trying to get it running on vmware workstation but it doesn't wanna work wtf i used to have it running,...idky i want it just something to mess around with
Re: mac on a pc
would everything work if i virtualize it?
For the most part, yes. Occasional problems will creep up though, IMO.
Re: mac on a pc
I've seen a lot of decent looking ibooks (macbook minus camera I think?) around for short money, $2-300 or so with decent specs and thought about grabbing one to get better acquainted with Apples OS again.
No VMs for me this time around, and from what I've read about getting OSX to run properly on my Asus...no thanks. Too much heartache. Good luck with it TN.
Re: mac on a pc
Is there anything to stop dell making an osx compatible pc with less problems or would it just take an update from apple to bork it?
Re: mac on a pc
yes but not everyone has a million bucks to buy their stuff
Re: mac on a pc
I wouldn't want either but is there anything to stop them?
Re: mac on a pc
please close this thread i give teh f up

IBM Predicts the Next 5 Years of Computing 93 93
from the tomorrow's-tech dept.
Past predictions from IBM have shown that IBM does NOT have any special insight into how the unwritten future will play out...
So, IBM's bold futurists predict that sensors and haptic feedback systems that already exist today will become better in 5 years, and some sort of vaguely-referenced-but-woven-through-all-the-predictions 'deep learning' algorithm that we'll lease from IBM will make something magic happen?
Jesus Golgotha-poledancing Christ, the future just isn't what it used to be...
IBM will continue to layoff US workers in record numbers, without making any official announcements of layoffs. IBM will continue to exploit cheap labor in India. Until Indian IT workers start making a living wage. Then IBM will abandon the Indian sub continent for Africa, the final frontier for cheap labor. Once the African labor market can no longer be exploited IBM will cease to exist because of their stubborn refusal to pay anyone a living wage. Anyone except executives of course who will continue to receive enormous bonuses. Fuck you Ginny.

Good Gadget: Melissa Clark's Butter Keeper
Butter keepers are intriguing. The ads in the back pages of cooking magazines claim they're an almost miraculous way to keep butter fresh and spreadably soft all the time, but are they really that special?

Waffling Over Waffle Makers: Should You Buy One?
As much as we love the waffles they make, it's hard to deny that waffle makers are a first-class unitasker (ok, duo-tasker). And most of them hog precious cupboard space on top of that. Is there any way to justify buying one?
Hong Kong Eggettes! Testing Nordic Ware's Egg Waffle Pan
I confess that I am not much of a waffle girl. Waffles seem a little too fussy for the morning; I prefer straightforward pancakes that require no more gadgetry than my trusty skillet. But I may have been swayed over to the waffle side by this new pan, which bakes up a crisp, honeycomb waffle quite unlike traditional American waffles. Whether you call them egg waffles, eggettes, egg puffs, or gai daan jai (literally, "little chicken eggs") these waffles are one of the most iconic and beloved Hong Kong street snacks. And thanks to Nordic Ware we can all make them at home. Here's how it went for me.

Well, I guess I owe one to Faith.

text: I received a couple of emails last night telling me that the NEEDINFO flag for two bugs assigned to me were cleared. "Great," I though, "finally I have the information I need to proceed on those bugs." Only there is no new information. The flag was cleared by Bug Zapper reminding the reporter that the bug was originally filed against F-10 and will be closed automatically in the near future. Should the NEEDINFO flag be cleared by adding such a comment? I didn't expect that. -- Jerry "Insert obligatory Spanish Inquisition reference here" James http://www.jamezone.org/

Training log wk 2
by, 07-30-2011 at 02:03 AM (428 Views)
So I made it through four straight days of my little hill routine. I guess I only ran up five times each day. I had thought it was six, because I turned around after three, but whatever. Next week will be six.
Yesterday was a light ride only. Caught the symphony doing some short selections for free in the park about a 45 min ride away. Rode a nice little fixie my cousin owns. Stopping without the brakes is a great workout, but I took it pretty easy. The roads weren't too smooth, and I'm not so great on a bike.
Something went wrong in my diet I think. I guess I didn't eat enough, or drink enough water. It's been a little hot. The result is headache. I'm not sure how to keep track better. My weight dropped a little also; to 160 lbs.
I took a break from running today, and cranked out three sets of 20 push-ups in the park plus an hour of stretching.
I'm feeling pretty week all around with this wretched hill stomping on me. Back to grinding on that piece tomorrow. The sidewalk will break before me. I think I'll post a time tomorrow.

Hello hello everyone! I've been MIA forever now ever since I got a job x_x
I just had oooonneee quick question:
Is there a restriction on BLOOD on a costume? I realize that would fall under a "violent" category but I don't mean overly gorey (i'm not that much of a nonce to try & get away with that at D-land lol) I mean just kinda like maybe a little blood splatter here & there? Has anyone ever tried (or seen?) anyone around the parks like that?
I have plenty of back up costumes but I still kinda wanted to know if any of you lot had some insight. Thanks!

Star Song Communications
Star Song Communications is a Christian record label that was started in 1976 by Wayne Donowho,who recruited his friend Darrell Harris. It gained notoriety when it issued Resurrection Band's ground-breaking debut album, Awaiting Your Reply in 1978. Originally a distribution deal was made with Benson Records. From 1983 until 1986 distribution was done by Word Records. After that, a deal was made with Sparrow Records. Independent distribution was started in 1989 and picked up distribution for ForeFront records and DC Talk in 1991. This distribution was maintained until the sale of the company to EMI and the launch of Chordant Distribution in 1994.[1]
Pure Metal Records was acquired from Refuge Records in 1990.[2]
In 1998 it was announced that Star Song would only be used to issue reprints and their artists would be transferred to Sparrow.[1]

Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to find out who your true friends are, and that's exactly what happened with Demi Lovato.
Back in 2010, the "Heart Attack" singer entered a treatment center for emotional and physical issues, and when she got out, she had a serious "wake-up call."
"A couple of months before I went to rehab, I had a birthday party and there were a couple of hundred people there," Lovato told the June issue of U.K. Company magazine. "It was full of people who I considered my closest friends. When I turned my phone on after being in rehab for three months, I expected lots of text messages and phone calls. I had four texts."
Trying "not to be jaded" Lovato found new friendships outside of the Hollywood, but no matter how hard she tries to live out of the spotlight the gossip still follows, especially with rumored former flame, One Direction's Niall Horan.
"I'm so tired of that! It never happened," Lovato said. "Niall's a really sweet guy and I definitely consider him a friend, but it's never crossed that line… He's a sweet kid and we have an understanding, but we're just friends."
As for now, Lovato is concentrating on her upcoming fourth studio album , set for release this month, and is getting ready for her return to "The X Factor" even if that means she will have to endure more quality time with her frenemy, Simon Cowell.
"He's a grump. An old fart," Lovato said. "But he has a heart that nobody gets to see. If he walked into this room, he'd treat everybody the same — he shakes everyone's hand."

Off Topic...my weight loss....PHOTOS 3/17/2013....
Posted 19 March 2013 - 07:05 PM
Secondly, i've never really had an issue with my weight, the most "over" weight i've ever been in my 42yrs, would've been 3-6kgs.
I guess it's no secret the USA has the highest rate of obesity, per capita, in the world & there are many reasons for that, including the huge amount of fast-food restaurants that span coast to coast.
Peoples lifestyles, work/career & many, many other things contribute to the obesity plague. Another of those things is alcohol, specifically beer.
All these things combined add up to a very unhealthy lifestyle & in most cases premature death.... Attributed to " heart-disease". I'm sure many of us have seen an episode or 2 of The Biggest Loser? There's a lot people can learn just from watching the show...
As far as weight watchers is concerned, although i've never needed to use them, i'm aware there's a fee ( monthly?) attached?? Although you say they work for you, and for some others, why pay them to lose YOUR weight? Why not join a gym, which also has a monthly fee ( cheaper than WW)
Lose the weight at your speed ( and probably a lot quicker ) make friends ( costs nothing ) with fellow gym goers or PTs ( personal trainers ) get tips/advice from them for free ;-) I see no point in joining WW.... Advice telling you you can have pizza/ice cream/diet sodas etc is not good advice.
Sugar+ salt = fat, doesn't matter how "lite or less fat " it claims to be.
You said you'd like to tighten up that mid-section of your's, right? Cardio ( running ) strips the fat.... Sweat = fat loss. Sit-ups ( many versions ) will then tighten up your mid-section. Get yourself a health magazine or 2 & check out what you need to do to get fit & stay fit. A healthy mind = a healthy body :-)
Good luck mate!
Cheers Cliff

Different people lose weight in different ways. Depends on your personality. Many people are successful using a "program" like WW or Jenny Craig, because they lay it all out for you. Basically all you do is pay them and follow their instructions. A lot of people like to work that way... within a specific pre-determined regimen that someone else has figured out and laid out for you to follow. Other people, like you mentioned, just go to the gym and work out on their own... they don't need a "program" or someone else telling them what to do. Bottom line, different people respond to different methods. If WW worked for Terry, why knock it? Obviously he was successful doing it the way he did it. Maybe you or I would have a different approach, but hey... whatever works for you. Results are what counts, and Terry got results doing it the way he did it.
Posted 20 March 2013 - 04:42 AM
Good for you. Sounds like we have the same goals.
Wife and I play on a winter volleyball league thru church, and I finally realized I need to loose some weight and get in shape to compete against some of these younguns.
Already lost 7-8 lbs and I want to lose another 15. About 2 years ago I was up to 235 . Just trying to watch what I ate I lost about 10 lbs. But I want to get back down to approx 200 . But my main goal is lose the gutt and get in better shape overall.
We tried the gym thing for a while and both of us hated it. Now we work in the living room on our own. 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. ( my insperation is she looks real good in her workout pants )
Posted 20 March 2013 - 08:53 PM
Congrats Terry!
Well I'm just about done with losing weight! I weigh exactly 210 now and most of my friends are telling me to not lose any more! I feel pretty darn good now but I'd still like to tighten up the 'ol midsection some more. I see my Doctor on Thursday so we will see if he thinks I'm good at 210 or not.
The left side was almost 7 months ago...back in August of 2012. This was one of 2 photos that shocked me into going on this weight loss journey. And of course on the right is me today....minus 47 pounds! Pic was taken on St Patty's day.
Posted 21 March 2013 - 11:18 AM
Dropping 8" in your waist is epic dude. I bet you feel like you haven't in years! Congratulations!
Posted 23 March 2013 - 04:05 AM
Couple years back I went to my 40th class reunion, and arrived a bit late. When I walked in no one recognized me. As I weighed less then I did when when I was in Junior HS. It was a great feeling. The girl I dated back in HS was well lets say kind of grandmotherly plump. Only 3 of my classmates knew of the surgery and I swore them to secrecy.
Posted 23 March 2013 - 04:35 AM
Posted 23 March 2013 - 05:30 AM
Another benefit..... My Doctor called me last night to give me the results of my cholesterol blood test... Great News...it's down to 188!!! That's down from 263 just prior to September 10th, the day I started WW! And I did it without taking those darn pills!!!!
Posted 23 March 2013 - 06:31 AM
I've lost, to date.... approx. 150 lbs. I swear I'll never be big again. I've been maintaining at 185-192 for the past 2 years and I'd be lying if I said its easy. Stat with it!

American Apparel Unisex Fitted Tee Grass
The flag of the state of Iowa consists of three vertical stripes of blue, white, and red, reflecting Iowa's history as part of the French Louisiana Territory.[citation needed] (Because of the wider middle stripe and symmetric design, the design is sometimes classified as a "Canadian pale".) The image of a bald eagle with a long ribbon reading "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain", taken from the Seal of Iowa, is centered in the middle white stripe. The word "Iowa" is placed directly below it in red, serifed majuscules. The flag was adopted in 1921; it was first approved in May 1917, by the Iowa State Council for Defense. It was designed in 1917, by Knoxville, Iowa, resident Mrs. Dixie Cornell Gebhardt, of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Iowa. In 2001, a survey conducted by the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) placed Iowa's flag 42nd in design quality out of the 72 Canadian provincial, U.S. state and U.S. territory flags ranked.

Good news, bad news. Who can tell?
Phil and Bill at BMW Santa Cruz made a believer out of me today.
I've had some parts "issues" lately, and one particularly
frustrating incident cost me the ability to ride my bike to see Stig
Petterson at Laguna Seca this weekend, so he could fix my shock.
Not wanting to drive my big-ass truck into that madness, I took a
chance and called Phil to see if they had a loaner bike I could borrow.
He talked to Bill, and they said it would be no problem.
I yanked my shock, grabbed all my gear, and barrelled down to
They had set me up with an 1100R strippy. Perfect.
I also had a pair of Airflow pants waiting that Aaron had special
ordered for me because of the split crotch syndrome on my others.
Of course, there was no documentation on this, and Aaron wasn't
there, so it would have been totally understandable if Bill had
said I needed to wait so he could straighten it out with the boys.
But no.
He said "No problem - let's just fill out a repair order and get you on your way".
Too cool.
I get there - it's my first motorcycle race, but I can't enjoy it. I
need to find Stig, and have no idea where he is.
Wander, wander ask, ask... turns out he MUST be in the paddock.
Paddock passes are sold out.
I scout the perimeter - probing for weaknesses.
Not good - they got it covered.
I spot an older gent who's trying to do a good job, and sidle up
during a lull.
"I need to ask a favor of you" I sez.
"The paddock passes are sold out, I need to take this shock to
PPS, and I'm running out of time, can you help me??"
He just jerked his head towards the gate, and stepped aside.
KEWL! I'm in!
This place is huge - I finally stumble across Lindemann
Engineering, one of Stig's competitors.
But, I was getting desperate so I asked Jim if he'd seen Stig. He
laughed when I told him why, and pointed the way.
Get to Stigs truck, two empty chairs.
I wander around, staying within visual of the truck in case he
gets back.
I've now missed like 3 races, and the 750 super sports are lining
up. I decide to take a chance and watch the start and the first
coupla laps.
Better head back - can't see much from the paddock anyway, and
I can't leave.
Get back to where the truck was - it's gone!
Run into Peter Connolly - he says they left 5 minutes ago...
Screw it. I took the shock back to the bike, locked it up, and went
in to watch some racing. Might as well get something for my
Saw the GP and a great little high-side right in front of me on 11,
Ben Bostrom looked like a men among boys in the finale.
Good news is, I can have the bike until Tuesday.
Bad news is, I don't want to ride it....
Good news, bad news. Who can tell?
hmmmmmm BUMMER...
butt it's not like you had to go to work or anything, right?
personally I spent the day out in the wilderness, alternately screaming down hard pack, and then schlepping through slippery sticky mud-only dumped the bike once...
thank god for the H+B bars....
yeah. thanks.
rub it in, pal.:rolleyes:
The bad: ain't so bad. At least you've got Ohlins. Some of us are still saving up...
Anyways, glad you got to see at least one race - I was out arguing with some rancher about private / public land-use issues :mad: ...

Author Bio
Jeffery Wilds Deaver was born and raised in Chicago. He attended the University of Missouri and received a law degree from Fordham University. A self-described "terrible attorney," Deaver quit the law in 1990 to pursue a full-time writing career based on his fascination with and love of suspense. "When I teach courses in writing," Deaver said in a barnesandnoble.com interview, "I always tell my students to write what you enjoy reading and I have always been a big fan of the sort of book I write--the plot-driven commercial thriller." Deaver's modus operandi has proven lucrative since his first book was published in the early 1990s. Several of his books have achieved best-seller status and two--THE BONE COLLECTOR (1997) and A MAIDEN'S GRAVE (1995)--have been adapted for film. Deaver's sister, Julie Reece Deaver, is an author of young adult books.

Since the saying goes "a picture is worth 1000 words" I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves.
She is now 35" wide
I did not get the adapter kit for the pelican storm cases, instead I bolted the pelilcan storms to the side rack.
Nice! :thumb
Do you have a journey planned that will take advantage of the supertanker?
Bike looks amazing. Now go out and get it dirty!:norton
I would not go off road without Bark Busters and AMP case guards. I punched a hole in left side case in just a minor tip over. Without Bark Busters you can easily break levers and even the brake master cylinder in a crash.
Next: Stock tail light will quickly separate and fill with water. Best get the DR250 tail light. It lays flat, more protected, no leaks or separations.
Just curious, have you weighed all the hard ware, Pelicans, racks and such?
Total weight? :ear
My GIVI E41 hard bag set up with mounting racks and all nuts and bolts weighed in at about 35 lbs. (16 kgs.) My soft bag set up weighs just 8 lbs. (3.6 kgs.) (including racks and hardware)
I have lots of ideas playing in my head......... time will tell. Anyhow, I am enjoying not having to go to the gas-station 4 to 5 times per weekend
I have ordered the full set of engine guards from Perry, http://www.motorcycleproducts.org/En...ds/DR650SE.htm, hopefully they will arrive this coming week. Have a tube of silicone waiting for them :)
Never thought about Bark Busters, thank you for mentioning them. Did not know about the issues with the tail light....... I thought that most people were doing the change just for aesthetics.
I have gone out to the garage and weighted the Pelicans Storm IM2600 with the racks attached to them they came to 12.2Kg, I am going to guess here.... the hardware parts that stay in the bike are probably another 1Kg? 1.5Kg?
I also got the liner bags, Givi T468, 800g each
So, the total added weight should be 12.2Kg +1.5Kg=13.7Kg (30.2lb)
If you were to add the Liner bags it will total 15.3Kg (33.7lb)
The way I see it, it is not fare to compare hard luggage to soft ones they are just in two different categories.
Just for the record, I weight around 210lb and the bike has a 8.1Kg Eibach
spring in the back and 0.5kg fork springs with a 2 1/2" spacers.
I'm in the midst of mounting an iM2720 as a top case. If I can fabricate the mount that I have mocked up, I will be able to remove the case for use as a table in the field or as luggage when staying in a motel.
You got the right spring on there. Bike should work great everywhere even fully loaded. Bark Busters even make sense on the street. Mostly they save levers. But don't forget why they were originally invented : Hand protection. I've hit some nastly stuff with no injuries due to bark busters. (this on dirt bikes)
Even in a fall, just hang on and slide along the ground. Your hands are protected ... I've done it.
You will like the AMP case guards. I have only the left side one but it's save my bike a couple times already. I'm getting the filter guard and case guard next. In your case it looks like the Safari tank will take a bit of a hit. I hope they are strong. The IMS is surprisingly strong, even though it looks like crap.
Good luck, have a great riding season! :rayof
A pretty tasty combo... :thumb
Did you buy the Pelicans & racks from Dual Sport Plus? I have been thinking of the same set-up, sure helps to see them mounted on the bike.
Nope, I got them from http://www.aviciouscycle.ca/ . :freaky
Pelican's lifetime warranty. Are you sure it will still count even though we have drilled the cases?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.:freaky
[quote=Adv Grifter]If you're not planning any off road then no worries, you'll be fine as is. I like the Pelicans (I carry camera and audio equip. in them!) but for longer off road travel I prefer soft bags. But hard bags are fine too. Did you know if you break a Pelican ... they give you a free one? :clap
The engine guards are here. I did order them a week ago. Delivery was fast and they look great. The picture below will show all the pieces that came with the kit. From left to right Clutch guard, Ignition guard, Oil filter guard with screws and lock washers :rayof

Hello Edward,
You do not see many of these beasts in France. A good capture, nicely illuminated with excellent colours and sharpness. The couple chatting to one side offer a good sense of scale.
Sergiom (65111) 2014-09-01 5:34
Bonjour Edward,
Il y en a des tonnes de ces camions construit au Québec sur les routes américaines. Du muscle à l'état pur avec en prime la couchette toujours utile.

Hello Edward,
Unfortunately photographs of vehicles don't really seem to go down all that well on TE - but, as a dedicated "petrolhead", I love them!
What a magnificent beast of a machine, quite different from the lorries or trucks we see in Britain and the rest of Europe but I suppose these massive tractor units are designed for pulling huge trailers over very long distances in America.
This, of course, is a "customised" truck with gorgeous shiny paintwork and all the chrome and "bling" you could possibly ask for. It must take hours of dedicated work even to manage to keep it clean.
A well taken photograph in which the bright sunshine picks out all the details superbly well. Fine composition and excellent details and sharpness.
Kind Regards,
P.S. In view of your past connections with Le Mans, you might be interested in this - a replica of a Le Mans Bentley (a few years before your time at Le Mans) - the cars Ettore Bugatti referred to as "Le Camion Plus Vite du Monde"!
