I was talking about a rice burner in a quad frame. LOL. A crotch rocket motor would twist a CRF50 frame....let alone probably actually being bigger than the frame.

We shouldn't bad mouth Ms. Boxer. She's going to be the next VP of the USA, next to Hillary the Pres. If that happens maybe the Great white north won't look too bad afterall...............
Don't even go there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] That is just WRONG[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] We mind as well all get castrated and wear fluffy slippers with pink bunnies on them.

I also highly recommend Firefox from mozilla.org. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We've been using it as our browser and love it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Please don't remind me. That's why I've stayed away.

Well looks like the weather is going to take a break after this series of storms. Hopefully get a chance to ride next Sunday. Saturday I have a meeting to go to. Snow level is 5500' though. Eek. That's not good. Supposed to drop starting tomorrow though. Whew.

Snow level above 5500' this time of year is bad. Melts the snow up there and it comes rushing down the hills (ie. January 1997). The people living in the river bottom got upset at the Bureau of Reclamation cause they didn't notify them that they opened the flood gates at the lake (Millerton). Well...the fact that the water flow BENT the gates I think calling people who chose to live IN a river was the last thing on their mind. Morons. Should have let em drown.

I know. Majority of them are traveling to fast for conditions, ie. hills and turns[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]


Oh yea, I remember those storms[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Man, we were on duty like 12 days straight, patrol the rivers and levees for boils. Made some good money[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Got recognized by the federal government and state government for our efforts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Wife has pictures of the water going over the flood gates at Don Pedro reservoir[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Friend's house was on 60 minutes when he built a wall around his home to save it. One river was going over 80,000 cfs. At first, I was up at Tule Lake (Ca/Oregon) border duck hunting. Work called me back. What I saw on the way back was amazing. But, the magnitude of what occurred didn't hit me until I saw how things were in my "own backyard"

And this storm has the making to do the same thing. A lot of low snow, then, a storm with just rain to wash it down hill into the valley.

i never tow my trailer in the snow. i use an equalizer (weight distribution)hitch, + electric brake controller. i set my level , then adjust gain. it's usually around the 12 o'clock position. no sway controls, never needed them.
