Brazil or Bust
Here's the deal:
We sign up all the rednecks lookin' to blow this totalitarian leaning fascist Popsicle stand for collective bargaining with the Brazilian Government and in exchange for certain considerations along the lines of personal autonomy, and a decent chunk of real estate we ante up a decent dowry and make our entrepreneurial drive, sweat, and skill sets available to the land of serious timber harvest potential and other, ahem... untapped resources.

Responding to the Ammunition Shortage: What to Do When You Can't Find .223
From Shooting Times
You are, of course saving and scrounging all the .223 brass you can get your hands on. Yes? So,
make your own, right down to the jacketed bullet.
You need your reloading press and a special swaging die. Now gather all the .22 long rifle cases you can so long as they are brass (steel can be used in a pinch and may help with penetration, but it's hard on the tooling and the barrel). Press the spent cases making them into new bullet jackets and fill them with lead! Weight the bullets and load the cases with powder and primer as per your reloading manual(s).
Swaging dies are expensive, to the point one would have to make about 5000 bullets to recover the cost even using "found" lead for the cores. But a man with the right tools can make the appropriate tooling given time and necessity. Something to think on, anyway.

Texas Toothpick
Know Why Raccoons Will Never Need the Blue Pill? 'cause they gotta bone in their pecker! And they have the ability to retract their testicles into their abdomen when they fight. How cool is that?

I have an 06 Yamaha R6, black on black with an 07 R1 motor on it. Very fast and dependable bike. My bike is fixing to get repoed. I only owe $2,125.01 but I need some extra spending money. This bike has 6,300 miles on it with less than 1,000 miles on the new crate motor. The motor that was on it before slung a rod through my leg and now I can't walk and I have a lot of doctor bills that have to be paid. Please help me. Call anytime--I'm kinda like a vampire now that I lost my leg. lol!
Call Steven at (423)xxx-xxxx anytime
If no answer, please call Carl at (423)xxx-xxxx

Lawyers: We can't afford them anymore.
Like the lamprey's of the sea attached to purposeful life they draw from the flagging vitality of the flow of resources that is the American economy. They create no wealth, impede investment, only tear down industry and sell their snake oil self-fulfilling prophesy risk management to businesses unable to float the capital to operate much less pay protection money. These are scum. The shit off your shoes.
Case in point:
Aircraft maintenance. I was talking to an aircraft mechanic friend about a Lycoming engine in the back of his truck. He stated he had removed it from an aircraft to receive a minor rebuild, but upon scanning his insurance coverage realized was required to do a major rebuild which included sending the block in to Lycoming for a check and re-machining ($3500.00). Now, Lycoming is going to do nothing to this engine block that the machine shop up the road from you wouldn't do to an old VW engine block (remarkably similar engines) to get it ready for another 200,000 miles ($150.00) with the exception that the machine shop doesn't have to pay insurance premiums through the roof to protect their business from packs of Mercedes deprived lawyers.
The vermin are far too entrenched in our system of governance to be shed readily and will eventually kill off their productive host in its present form. Those of us generating wealth for them to leach need to take note of just how many hours of our lives have been wasted supporting the sons of bitches and take appropriate retribution should the opportunity arise in the coming economic crisis. Hopefully, a starving lawyer will darken my door looking for a handout.... I probably won't shoot him. Probably. But if one turns up missing and my hogs are fat it will be evidence for a Karmic nature of the universe.

Help a Feller Out, Y'all.
As is evidenced by the quote below:
My little brother is having a crisis of motocosmic proportions. Where do y'all come in? By doing what folks do best - putting in your $.02. Ladies may advise on colours and passenger accommodations.
His needs are as follows:
1) He has stubby legs, so he needs a low seat height and/or narrow bike.
2) This will be the bike whereon we do long distance road trips, so it needs luggage or provsion for luggage. (See below for what happens to Nate's add-on luggage)
3) Plush passenger accommodations. When DrWho and MrsJAC accompany us it will be up to this bike to haul DrWho in comfort, and there is no way she'll tolerate a pillion pad.
4) Relatively nimble handling, lest he grow to hate the lumbering beast.
5) Rock solid reliability. The Brothers C are so tired of wrenching on Nate's shit.
6) Built in GPS or accomodation for such. DrWHO bought him a really nice unit, but he fears her wrath in the event some mishap befalls it and is therefore afraid to remove it from the box, much less expose it to the elements. Says he hopes to be buried with it...
7) Power to run with a BMW R1150GS.
8) Heavy duty alternator to run gadgets, farkles, and heated clothing.
9) Heated grips. Deal breaker here folks; if the factory doesn't offer them it's a nonstarter.
10) Upright seating position for the long haul. We are not as young as we once were and this posture inflicts the fewest aches and pains after many hundred miles in the saddle. Feet should be under the ass or slightly forward.
11) Eye catching enough that it is not completely overlooked when in the company of my 2001 R1150GS SE.
12) Dealer/owner support while traveling. This rules out the Aprillia Futura and Ducati ST3.
13) At least a 5 gallon tank.
I hate mine.. and cannot be shed of her soon enough...
ah but its a complex matter is it not?
GS? GT? RT? LT?
so many choices...
