  1. The ad claimed that it can do 96 miles per hour, I don't see a reference to 39 anything. I have had a 125 and 250 that I've used for 30,000 miles on the street, and the best I got was about 60 miles per gallon with the 125. That was a long time ago, maybe they've become a lot more efficient. Be careful of claims that scooters don't require insurance or whatever. In many states that was true only for engines 50cc and smaller. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  2. Why do you think a scooter is the right way to go for you? I think scooters are awful. Having something between your legs (conventional bike) gives you control over it in ways that you just can't do on a scooter - you can push on it with your legs/knees. The wheels on scooters are small - potholes, or bumps of any kind are much more severe with smaller wheels.

  3. If the joint area is placed in the larkshead knot, then they will not be pulled apart. Of course you also want it that way so that it doesn't hang up on a grommet. No glue is needed.

  4. It would make sense, but of course it doesn't, and neither does the graphic in the article. Thanks for pointing out that other obvious problem with the article.

  8. ...and why is it OK for females to wear tight, thin, plunging neckline, open shirts to show off their chest, even in formal business situations? Men do similar stuff, some guys are very quick to take off their shirt because they are so proud of their body, but it doesn't carry over to formal dress attire/codes. Don't get me wrong, I love to look, but I no longer like the fact that they know men look, that they want us to look.

  10. Just a lot of unwanted thinking about how much it is going to suck when my marriage will be officially/legally in the dumpster. I can't touch her heart anymore and it really hurts.

  11. Quite right, I say that the rest of April should be the official don't give a second look to pretty women that you don't have a chance with anyway month. They would probably spend a lot of time looking in the mirror to figure out what is wrong.

  13. I think the world would be a better place. I find too much self esteem to be very unattractive, and there is a whole lot of that going around.

  15. Thanks for the advance intelligence on routing. I'll make sure to hit Chicago in the very early afternoon. Besides the fact that I don't have an I-pass, anything else worth noting about the toll road to make it easy, how to pay, do they record your time vs distance to check your speed, etc?

  16. I have a couple Hondas, but they aren't imports - both made just a few miles away. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  17. Your question leads me to believe that you don't understand how the components work with each other in different scenarios. Devote some time to review the mechanics of it with someone you respect/instructor/rigger/whatever. The fact that you jump with an RSL only changes one thing related to the PCIT scenario: The RSL lanyard and snap shackle adds another thing that a departing main can snag the reserve with.

  18. Should I take route 30 (shorter but with non-divided highways, stops/small towns), or go North to 80? Is 80 some sort of toll road? Of course it all depends on how much actual stopping you have to do in the small towns. I'm ultimately headed up to Sky Knights in East Troy, Wisconsin. If you have other tips for getting through, around bad traffic in Chicago in the early afternoon next Friday 4/14 I would greatly appreciate that also. Thanks for your help.

  19. None of this section applies because the equipment is approved. Because the equipment is approved, the usual rules apply, and with them the 120 day req't.

  20. It apparently is possible even for side flying atmonauts to achieve the claimed trajectory. It is all so ridiculous that they think they have an angle of attack of 0 degrees flying through the air. Complete bullshit.

  21. That 2 part article in Parachutist is full of crap. It shows flat tracking as having a horizontal trajectory! It shows atmonauts flying at less than 45 degrees to the horizontal, airflow going straight along their body length, exactly the same as their actual trajectory. Pure bullshit. I have no doubt it is fun, and that there is more to it than a group tracking dive, but the article has horrible errors.

  22. The brakes on a swift plus are not unusual. I've had a ride on the 200 and 225 sqft versions with excellent deployments and landings. The old, original 5 cell swift had unusual brake lines. The reason he may have landed funny is because there isn't much flare to be had from them. Also, watch out for the Airworthiness Directive/Service Bulletin on the old swift for bad rib shape, and the swift plus check before about '94 regarding bartacks.

  23. The debate centers on the fact that many times a PC in tow will stop 'towing' when the reserve is opened, because of reduced tension on the container, thus there is a risk of a simultaneous deployment and entanglement. The chance for problems with a 2 out situation must be balanced against the chance for the departing main to snag the reserve. It is not a settled issue on which is best, but I favor not cutting away. Please read; http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=597809#597809 and this is a decent thread dealing thoughtfully with the subject (of course my posts are the most thoughtful): http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=597809 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  24. You should at least be able to get an expired Cypres, unless the Russian authorities actually enforce the Aitec limitation (I suspect they don't) on your riggers and if your riggers don't care. Come on everybody, lets see a donation!
  25. Show up early, be patient and humble - do not presume they will do you a favor. But let them know that you will be a regular customer. If you then impress them with your knowledge/skill and be ready to show emergency procedures in a harness, they will be more likely to give you a break. Study as if you are taking the first level license test with material that is probably available online.
