    Nice glass. I have a USoptics waiting for a bolt action. 3-22x56. The 1911 is almost identical to mine. I have rubber grips now l, helps my large palm grip it better.

    I have the full size. It is a great gun. Guns with plastic and high capacity have a couple problems though. They change their ballance so much as you fire them and they are a bitch to load. Even wit the loading tool, my hands get raw. Nothing, I mean nothing, feels like a 1911. I'm not an old timer clinging to the past etc etc. I just love the trigger action. It just feels amazing. Kind of like the Tika TRG rifle trigger I have played with. Fucking amazing, and nothing else feels like it. Sucks as I those rifles are $$$$$

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    You will also be more likely to get upgraded top end shocks on a race bike. Fox or ohlins are always made for the R6. My "old" 954 would love a new shock set up. Maybe a turbo, longer seat and longer swing arm too. I am less of a twisties man, and want a bit more comfort. The wife might too. It would be cheeper to just get a hayabusa though.

    Depends on the suspension. My quad is a race quad with a "fully adjustable" suspension. Spring height, rebound, and compression are all adjustable. But the valving is still terrible. It is supposed to be set up for a 175# rider, but it is still too stiff for my 215#s. The front is actually nice after a ton of playing with it, but the ass end bucks like a motherfucker. If you are hitting whoops you had better be tight with the boots on the engine or you will get tossed over the handlebars. Go too stiff and it will hop and spin in first, and even set soft and low it doesn't get enough dig. On pavement it won't squat enough to grab well either. A good Elka or FOX system will make the ride so much nicer. I am planning on a new shock and linkage this winter. You have a great point, but a bike like the R6 will be able to handle most riders. The geometry, like the rake, cannot be changed though.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    The suspension on a race bike is fully adjustable. So you can tune it to your body with the factory parts. Seriously. It becomes an extension of you. An R6 would be annoying in traffic perhaps, but that is subjective. When moving from an R6 to it's little brother you loose; ~40% in horsepower, a huge amount of suspension(that is what you will really miss after you start riding more), style and clout, aftermarket and huge amount of parts, a built chassis vs tube steel humdrum tub, and 6000rpms. You sacrifice a lot. Bikes are the worst thing to compromise on because you cannot just tune up a commuter and expect it to even hold a candle to a full on sports bike. Of course a good rider(also read lighter rider) can outpace A newb on the track in a slower bike, but this isn't like cars. Geometry and frame make a much much bigger impact. I can help a lot more if you want. When I was younger I spent a huge part of my life completely emersed in the bike community. Not a lot of track time, but some autocross like runs, for bikes and I has had my bike as my only vehicle so it was my livelihood on top of my toy. Most of my advice is pragmatic but I can help with the technical stuff too, depending on what you need info on. But friends don't let friends buy 'tweener bikes.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Unless there is a really strong financial reason I would skip anything that isn't an R6. My first bike was and is a CBR 954. It is nearly perfect. It all depends on why you want a bike though. If you want to have fun, buy a sports bike. If you want a commuter, buy one. You can make an R6 more commuter friendly but making a commuter bike handle better is a god damn bitch.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Thanks Rick. I hope I can keep my momentum. I lost a day and a half burned out and unable to close anything due to a sinus infection kinda thing. Starting to feel better though. The rest of the days I have beat my budget. I made 12% of my stores monthly budget in one day actually. So my personal percentage to budget is way ahead of schedule. Just need to keep it up. Not sure about the totals, but with the bigger spiffs I made 310 guaranteed extra for the month. I know I have more but it's hard to keep track without pulling a report. I might do just that next week.

    Spend your extra cash on a bed, delivered this month Sean. I will skin that deal to the bone.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Especially if that job frequently requires 60 hour weeks. Draw only months could be scary here. In places with lower cost of living I bet the pity pay stretches a lot further. Some of these guys will hit 13000 last month, I had a really unimpressive last month however..... If this month continues I will make up a little for last month. So many spiffs this month it's sick. We have promotions this month that allow me to move product for less than ever and make more $$$.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    why here?Not many jobs that have a minimum of 46 hours a week that require significant sales skill, the ability to handle lots of problems from your boss and from clients, and does NOT guarantee more than 40k a year. MN is littered with open spots for motivated people.

    astro a 50

    Tried them and skipped it. They are good, but not great. The amp is ok. Bottom line is they are more expensive than they are worth, but if you must have a microphone with your headphones and would make use of the amp, the system is great if you don't want to built your own at all. A boom or inline Mic and a decent set of cans will give you a much much better experience. The Sol republic cans have gotten a bit spendy, but are nice if you find them for cheeep. I think it is audiotechnica M60s that were a great value. Or if you can handle on ear cans the grados headphones are nearly impossible to beat. My tregus gets too raw to wear them for long gaming. One of the reasons the Astros are so popular is they are actually tuned to cut some bass. It helps to hearffootsteps. My AKGs do a great job but are brutal to bad recordings, are not bass beasts and NEED an amplifier. Computer card cannot push them. To sum up I recommend: Most expensive grados you can buy, but even the basic ones are pretty special. The on ear didn't work for me, but does for most. Check out the audiotechnica M60(I will double check that naming convention for you, it is their closed back design studio monitor cans) And afterthat it's just any of the big names... AKG, beryodynamics, seinhesser, etc etc. Just find one you like. Try them and go with what you love the most, and use a separate Mic. If you must have a Mic and headphone combo, you could do worse than the Astros, but you will pay for it. In ears are a whole other can of worms....

    I should also say the VW and Audi clubs here are huge. Speciality mechanics for those cars are pretty frequent and even get all horny just to work on something like a TT.
