The first Crusade was a rout.

The majority of the common soldiers were mercenaries following a devout or misplaced son of a wealthy family. The soldiers lot was hard and not too many of them survived the poor food and living conditions. The stories that have come down make for excellent reading but are often contradictory depending on who wrote them and when.

With the kind of instructor you describe ie: "Narrow minded and unimaginative" (sic) it matters not what really happened. This type of person will not listen to anything but what they want to hear. The way to get along, and get a grade, is to tell them what they want to hear. If you inject irrefutable facts that do not fit with the instructors beliefs you will get slapped down for it.

If you have class notes of what he/she believes that will be your best source. I was unfortunate enough, as has been anyone that has much schooling after kindergarten, to bump heads with way to many of these kinds of instructors. Good luck.

I get to do some jetting mods to the trike, install the new grips, adjust the chain, install the beer sign/ dune flag.

ANy of you "old" two stroke guys have any opinions on high end spark bolts? Looking for advise, pops always had us run the cheap ones.

Took a look at the little 4' X 6' mesh deck they have at Lowe's for under $600.00 before tax, license and all of that.

It has 12" tires and plenty of load capacity. I have other trailers for hauling bigger stuff and am thinking of just a little, specific use, trailer for the quad. It's also small enough to drag around behind the quad on roads or over fairly open country which is a plus.

Anyone know anything about these little trailers, any experience or comments that may sway me toward or away from them?

I'm way to lazy anymore to get all the stuff together and build one. Especially when the cost would be within a hundred bucks or so all things considered.
Fred Meyer. 200.00 for a 4x8 folding trailer that all you have to do is put a deck on and tie down apparatus. 3/4in plywood and 1 inch eyebolts are what i used. works great and folds up for storage.
Freddy's eh! Thanks, I'll take a look. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I don't want to start anymore crap than is already floating around this place but it seems to me that I have always replied to posts or quoted and never really spoke my own opinion on this whole thing so let me make myself clear. Everybody here knows that I am very pro gun... But if you post that you hate guns and think that everybody that carries one should be shot themselves that is you opinion. I may not agree but I will read it and not think any less of anyone for stating their opinion. I may reply [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] But I am just replying with my opinion and feel that mine should be respected in the same manner. I love all my PSAR peeps like brothers and sisters. I haven't been around as long as many of you but I feel just like MB you all are family to me. The are certain issues that many of us may never agree on but we don't have to agree on every subject to have fun together.

I know that Iridium plugs take less power to jump the gap, is there that much of a difference? I'm a bad plug sales person. I grab the NGK book and go off of that unless someone asks for a different plug.

Did you try pouring the booze in a glass and drinking it? I suspect pouring it on the puter won't help. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
