    Canopy weight

    Trust me, 8lbs does not make a difference to me.. I fly a boat. I was just reading the most recent article on buying used gear and was not sure when it sated to include the weight of the main. I assumed it would cancel itself out once deployed. I learned today . Its a good thing.

    Canopy weight

    Should the weight of the packed canopy be taken in to consideration when deciding what size canopy to buy? Sure it adds to your exit weight but doesn't that 8lbs or so go away once it's deployed?
  3. You are overreacting...
  4. I stand corrected... 2 people watch it :)
  5. absolutely zero reasons to tailgate a motorcycle ! I give them at least 4 car lengths... but then 6 cars try to fill the room.

  7. #14.. Do you realize Judge Judy is one of the wealthiest day time TV personalities. She is worth billions. Crazy sh!t.
  8. Maybe this makes me a ball monitor but last week while in Vegas I had some ahole lay on his horn behind me as soon as the light turned green. I just sat there chuckling until it cycled to yellow and creeped forward enough to be legal and left the line as it turned red. Pussy did not have the balls to run the red.
  9. Where you a ball monitor in school too? It amazes me at the number of people that I encounter on a daily basis that will pace themselves with the car next to them just to keep the cars behind them behind them. When it would not effect them one bit to either speed up and pull over then resume same speed, or slow down pull over and resume same speed. I travel 50 miles one way for work in southern California and it never fails I will get behind a wall of 3 cars side by side matching speeds between 65 to 70 mph keeping every body behind them for 10 to 20 miles at least 2 Or 3 times a week. 65 to 70 on southern California freeways is below average. Theese people cause the unsafe conditions of making people have to try to get around them rather then just get in the same lane and tool along at thier desired below average speed. But I guess that is not passive agressive enough for them. No I was not a ball monitor. I inconvenienced the ahole for less that a minute and never created a unsafe condition. He did.
  10. Driving down the 2 lane street near my house. I'm side by side with another car and we are both doing the speed limit. Ahole comes up on my ass an rides it. I maintained pace with the car next to me until just before the photo radar cameras coming up ahead of us. Just before the radar I put on my turn signal, slowed a bit to get room to move over and did so. He was so pissed he did exactly what I expected he would. He floored it and went speeding past way over the limit. Seeing him get his picture taken made my day.
