I remember back around 2001 or 2002 guys like Jim Puplava and Richard Russel were predicting a 20 year up market in gold. Sure enough, the dollar crashed and just about every hard asset climbed in value. Got about 10 more years to see if they were right about the rest of it.

As far as I know, none of them have changed their view. Stagflation just like the 70's and ending in a spike in gold in 1980. Looks like history is repeating itself again.

Yeah I guess mine are just tabs. But remember I am at home. I don't have work to do too. Well earlier I had two windows. I usually have more than 3 tabs today is a slow day. LOL. Tomorrow I work so I won't be on at all til later in the afternoon. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I must admit, it took me a minute to figure out what you're talking about, lol. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] At first I thought you had too many windows open or a REALLY bad case of ADD! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] But I finally managed to track the post down you're replying to on page 1.

Yeah, my bud's King Quad 700 will go darn near 80. I almost wrecked it going less than 30 when the steering locked down on me in a turn (suzuki engineers must have been drunk when they designed the steering). Those things are death traps! That quad is the one that took my bud's thumb off when he tried to save it from flipping backwards. His elbow hit the ground and the handlebars kept going and sheared his thumb like a ballbat would a small tree branch if swung hard enough. He's a big boy, but I don't know what made him think he could bench 700lbs. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I'll ride it again though... As soon as he installs a rollcage, doors, and seatbelts, LOL.

 

I have to admit I don't follow the thinking of some of the people on this forum.

Most people think Randy and others are wrong for not wearing a helmet when they ride. He has already stated that in his state, that he has the right to choose. In my state, Komiefornia, it is the law when you ride on government owned land or the street, it is not a choice. If you want everybody to wear helmets, and think it saves lives, just talk to your law maker and draft it up like California.

BUT, those same people seem to want to make a choice and not have a law. What the???? It's like you want to control other people, but you don't want a law because that would restrict YOUR choice to wear a helmet. Talk about convoluted thinking!!!! Kind of like the same people that hate lawyers but want to find one because they rolled their Rino!!!

Do you same people want the government to limit add-ons that raise horsepower because studies show the more power a quad has the more people get hurt?

Do you same people want a law stating all people should wear a helmet while in a car or truck because your chances are far greater that you will get hurt or die while driving to your favorit riding place. ( it really is)

Do you want the government to control the amount of fat you can have in one day because heart disease is a big killer? Don't laugh, this is already being done.

Guess I'm just stupid old school or just lucky. When I was a kid I rode in the back of a pick-up, I played with knifes, my friends and I brought guns to school, (to go hunting after school, not shoot at people), played with explosives and even one time rode my GSX 1100 at more than 135mph (I had a helmet on; LMAO like that was going to work at that speed). Sometimes I got hurt, most of the time I did not. When I did got hurt badly, I learned "not to do that $h1t again"!!! When I didn't, I kept on doing some of these things to this very day.

In short, I do the best I can with what I want to do. Sure, I can hide in my house and never get hurt. (crap, I can't even do that; ever read how many people get hurt in their own house???!!!).
What kind of life would that be? Not the kind I want to live, that's for sure.

Got to go, I have a baked potato cooking I'm going to have with butter. (Crap; heart disease) LOL!!!

Live life, ride hard, be safe.
