Republican Nominee: John McCain
I meant to post this about a month ago, and the dynamics have definately changed considerably with Huckabee surging.
Huckabee is unacceptable to everyone except the Evangelicals. In fact, the fact that he started surging created a freak-out panic, and Romney, etc. started running negative ads against him. He's quite vulnerable on the Wayne Dummond charge(also known as severe Clinton Derangement Syndrome).
Romney sounds like a fruitcake in the debates.
Rudy has collapsed ever since it became known he was using NYPD to escort his mistress.
After this bloodbath, McCain is going to come out on top. He's been doing well in debates. I realize I've previously dissed McCain, and he does have a problem with the hard core bigots hating him because of his stance on immigration. But he's the compromise candidate.

Why are motorcycle shops so behind the times?
Actually, I had a pretty good experience at Leo's South where I picked up the Aprilia. Not great, but ok.
But since then I decided to order a jacket and some side bags. I found the jacket, a Hein Gericke Timbuktu Air on closeout at www.motogearoutlet.com for $150, which is nearly half price. The bags are Nelson Rigg CL-950 deluxe saddlebags at www.cycleluggage.com.
In both cases, i placed the order almost two days ago, and have yet to receive a followup email on when it will ship.
Internet sales has been around for a long time now. The key is communication.
I wonder if the service is because they are niche, or are they niche because of the service?

Scooter Boy!
New purchase. After taking the MSF rider training and getting my motorcycle endorsement, I picked up this bad boy.
2003 Aprili Scarabeo 150
It has 6500 miles on it. But was well maintained and is in good shape.

Verschaerfte Vernehmung
What is it?
It's a german phrase used by the Gestapo in WWII. A nice google search, reveals it appearing in several old histories. Such as Trial of Kriminalsekretär RICHARD WILHELM HERMANN BRUNSand two others.
Nice, eh?
It translates to "Aggravated Interrogation", or one could say "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques"
Where have we heard that before? It's a term used by Americans in defense of torture. Just as the Nazi's used it in WWII.

On 19th December, 1942, Bruns was present at the interrogation of a sick Norwegian. Leg screws were fastened to his legs and he was beaten with various implements. Later he was thrown unconscious into a cellar, where he remained for four days before receiving medical attention. Between 1942 and 1945, Bruns used the method of " verschärfte Vernehmung " on 11 Norwegian citizens. This method involved the use of various implements of torture, cold baths and blows and kicks in the face and all over the body. Most of the prisoners suffered for a considerable time from the injuries received during those interrogations.
