BLACKTHORN!!!!!! they say its the only wood hard enough to crack an irishmans skull don't blame me thats what the legend says. If you could find one that looks close to one of these beauts' I'd gladly pay you a pitance

and its spelled 'shillelagh' http://www.walkingequipment.com/shillelagh.htm the first is a walking stick, the second is an actual weapon, or so it says me wantie me wantie http://www.celticshamrock.com/moreinfo.cfm...0&aff=34037 http://www.fashionablecanes.com/05095.html http://www.fashionablecanes.com/50950.html

those examples in the pictures are from www.walkingstickshop.co.uk they have many many more but I don't think you can order on-line BUT they appear to be real nice shelalighes but call them "walking sticks" they also carry canes and walking sticks http://www.walkingstickshop.co.uk/Albums/w...exwoodknobs.htm I've had trouble finding a real one myself like the one in "Gangs of New York" thats what I'm looking for

Thats because OZ has been mad at us since it came out that there are 20:1 odds that OZ will be the 51 state of the union I wish I could find the site that talked about this but they had an explenation.

yeah, only one of those is actually black thorn they are various woods from a neat little cane store your neck of the woods.

WELL there used to be more but as far as I know they don't does FBF no longer make them? I was thinking of picking one up this spring I know evoluzione USED to make something. I know there was a couple others but not many. Many ppl make their own with a tail light of their choosing.

flock of seaguls?

I really want one of those to hang on the wall, ya know to scare the kids and all with empty threats to pull it off the wall anyone able to pick one up for me along side the road somewhere in merry ole England? pleeeeeaaaaasseeeee?

or penske or white power works too I hear. any other options? I'm sure there are. I'd like to get a small list together of options for I may need to replace mine at some point in the near future I don't think I'll go with ohlins, just too much $$$ I think WP is a good bet.

no triumph or morini or KTM or MZ or Benelli or so on and so on Guzzi and Aprilia were there and had 'free hats' if you talked to a dealer, yeah they were all gone half way through yesterday's half day show BUT husqy was there!! I want one of those for a dual sport toy!!! nothing beats a husqy right? or so steve mcqueen says. but I really learned something, one, I need a new smaller camera because I can't bring a nikon d50 just 'along' for the show, and two, the bike I want has been decided. FINALLY I can't stop twisting this way and that and never again will you have to hear me banter to and fro, the stars have aligned and showed me the bike I shall buy. The triump 675 was a contender but its too small for my 6'3" 225 the thing is like a toy, Aprilia is nice and big enough but piaggio is letting ot flounder, and for guzzi I don't see a need to have two of them unless it's an oldie. the winner is the Ducati 1098, suprised? I am a little I used to hate ducati but the bike was decently comfy, could use some bar risers and a taller screen but the tank seat and pegs were all nice and the bike is pretty big and I didn't look like a giant on it. only thing I don't like is the $3000 exhaust upgrade OI! and the girls at the ducati booth were the hottest too, that might have something to do with it the show overall was lame and for $12 just to get in, NOT worth it. I could have gone to one or two dealers and gotten a better free experience.

Ummm, maybe PM's would be better, he can't respond to you here. or try it in 24/7, maybe tech topic I'm sure he'd see it there as well.

I didn't know Todd 'socrates' haven would chime in on this one. but well spoken.

I see your point fer, but this is the banter section for random remarks and is actually WAYYYYY more tame than some other sites I've seen. No one can ever please everyone the best thing to do is to not read into anything you don't agree with and you'll be much happier in life and on the net. no matter where I am I tend to talk about a lot of different things. I.E. at the boat show but talking about my motorcycle or at the softball game talking about hunting the idea is we can't only talk about motorcycles 24/7 365, if we did then I'D LEAVE. I should add, if everyone agreed all the time, then that wouldn't be very much fun either.

damn, I was hoping it was the 2001 Rosso Mandello red

just remove all the fairings and get a new headlight and said cafe fairing and youre golden. Several people on this forum have gone from a full fairing to no fairing.

almost everyone has done just this. Well worth it from what I understand and clears up a lot of clutter

whats amazing is the whole field is seperated by less than 2 seconds. 1:58 to be exact and I know that can be a big difference in a pro race but come on it takes me longer to sneeze, so you sneeze-you come in last place!

I think if you can get "pure" gas as they call it here you will get less problems with that, I just use premium add some stabil and run almost all the gas out anyway. They sell your so called 100 octane race gas for offroad use only and double whatever the current price per gallon is.

umm, what exactly is it that you do again? I'm guessing military, they have wifi out on the front lines there now? I would hope to never get so close and as for grenades I'd primarily use them to "check out" suspect houses for insurgents

this got me thinking, are there ANY women on this board?

PSH, thats easy with a sighted-in scope and you take your time I bet that 10th one is actually the first one and you compensate for the other nine and get'em spot on . Try it with a handgun, now that takes some freakin skill. How anyone gets killed with handguns on the street is beyond me, unlucky I guess? I shot 400 .40 rounds the other day and I tell you I can almost put the bullets through the same holes with open sights on a rifle at 50ft but I'm lucky to hit the silouette with that stupid glock. NOW from 25 feet I can get the hand gun in a pretty decent pattern but I know if someone was shooting at me I'd be firing wildly.

I stand by my claim to shenannigans.

ah jesus christ. I think you and guzzirider are in cahooooots. oh well.

OH good god . I think I smell a third stump

REDLINE all around, I swear by it. I swear you'll love that shite. and trust me, its not shite. regular stuff in the crank, shockproof heavy in the tranny and bevel. The stuff is liquid gold but only cost as much as liquid silver summit racing sells it and ships it really quickly.
