Not looking to argue, as it isn't worth it, nor do I dispute that bikes are less safe. I chose to ride, and I chose to do other things that aren't perfectly safe. I dropped a bike going into a turn when I hit a gravel patch and the bike slid out. I was fine, but I am aware that if the bike had...

I hear what you are saying, but to be honest most everything is a risk in some way. I have a friend in a wheelchair for the last 3 years and the rest of his life most likely. And as Nitro described, a guy in front of him on the expressway swerved for no apparent reason, and my buddy had no out...

Looks like the TDM 900 is a Europe only bike these days. At least I couldn't find on the Yamaha US website, or the local dealers website.

Good point Landis, more so the wrists for me. For whatever reason the seating position for me on a sport bike is easier on my back than the cruiser, upright position. I have always liked the scooters also since I saw Quadrophenia years(geez, decades) ago, but like the added power of a full...

Went and looked at a Honda shop and found a Demo 97 CBR 1000RR with under 500 miles. Asking $7600 and sales guy said they are loaded with inventory of previous year models from Honda, so they are ready to make a deal. So much for a brand new bike probably. Gonna go look at the Harley shop at the...

I'm up in Wisconsin, so I will have to deal with the wrath of Harley fandom if I don't buy Harley.

Lol, I guess. I had a cruiser for a couple years and my back was always worn out after a trip. On the other hand the position of a sport bike(butt up as you say) is more comfortable on the road, at least for me.

I've been looking to get back to riding, and am narrowing down bikes, but am curious on the process of buying a new bike. It's been awhile and I always bought used so could negotiate, but now looking at new and am wondering whether the dealers negotiate on new bikes? Looking at a Ducati 898 or...

The Baron - Baron Von Raschky (sp?) The Mad Man from the Pampas - Fampei Firpo(another sp?) The Crusher - Reginald Lisowski Dick The Bruiser - William Fritz Afflis Mad Dog Vachon - Maurice Vachon Jerry "The King" Lawler - Jerry O'Neil Lawler Just a few of the greats from when pro...

I have to say I know there are defenders no matter what, but this isn't new and various other issues with the software that people have experienced, only to be told they are stupid and IB is not responsible in anyway. I traded with them 3 different times over the years and had various issues...

Pick up the phone and call some brokers. There are some that are quite a bit cheaper with service. Some do it in tiers for the guys that call and say they are doing 1000 r/ts a month when in reality they do maybe 100. They pay a higher rate and then it drops after x# of trades and drops again...

I'm with you, I don't think there is anything to go with here, unless something actually happens. There is nothing binding, signed, or exchanged, no harm has occured, so I find it hard to believe it would go anywhere. It sounds so much like a scam that I would love to hear of him gettting nailed...

Peace :) I have had the experience of a friend jumping into trading after talking to me, but not listening to what I said. He quit after a series of small losses and admitted that it needs to be treated as more than a hobby.

ROFL, yea I misread your post, but c'mon get a grip. Sorry to have ruined your life. LOL

Reading your post on page 2 I got the idea that you had taken a big hit during the FOMC release, and were discouraging your friends from even looking at trading. I see in rereading your opening post you didn't actually trade, but were hypothetically supposing what would have happened. My...

What are you filing a complaint on? I haven't heard of money changing hands, or any actual trading take place.

I guess I don't understand. You know you shouldn't have been trading with the announcement coming out, yet you did and got your ass handed to you. If you had any cash left, there were some reentries available to get long again, I even took a short at one point and caught a reasonable profit...

Post a screenshot(cut/paste, whatever). I have to admit I would like to see and read about who applied.

I mean that is what comes up when I click the link. I can't get to anything without an email and password.
