I know a lot of people who have been drooling over the rs for years, myself included.I kinda wish they would have kept the 5-cyl, but the new 4 will be a beast too. I think it will sell quite well

I like the fact that the new RS looks understated, compared to the previous gen. The previous gen was too much boy-racer to me. The new one is still aggressive, but less boy-racer, which I like.

Kawasaki finally approved the dealer to tear into the top end and figure out why I'm burning so much oil. Latest consumption is a quart in 300 miles.

I had an 86 tbird that burned a quart of 10w40 in 300 miles.
I owned it for a whole 2 months before getting my 87 grandprix.

Took my bike to work for the first time since I fixed it. Bikes running great. On the bad side it was 60 this morning and I didn't wear the liner. On the way home it started raining. I ordered water proof gear online but it didn't get here in time thinking ahead I put my laptop in a garbage bag. Haven't checked it yet but my phone was dry with no bag in an outside pocket so I think I'll be ok.


**** you auto correct!

Rode my bike to work this morning, too.

I looked at my bike as it's buried in a foot of snow

 

[mitdr774]

You dont have a shed or lean-to for it?

 

[$ub$onic]

Not this year. Normally they are inside for the winter.

I don't think she is happy with me

How did we end up with King of the Hill avatars? I remember something about it but don't remember what it was any more.

 

[mitdr774]

I think it started with your love for guns and Chris calling you Dale. Somehow I ended up putting the wood to your wife.

 

[ahtoxa]

Ah, that's right!

You know, I need to go shoot some trap. I've not had my 870 out in a while.

And that reminds me! I also need to get my license for the upcoming turkey season. I was talking about that with a friend of mine last week and almost forgot.

I need to get that done in the next few weeks.

Yellow is now a color option...

I went out for the first time in a long time a couple weeks ago and shot some clays. I was pleasantly surprised with my accuracy! I think it's going to be a regular occurrence.

I've never been skeet or trap (what's the difference) shooting. My cousin invited me to go in the next couple weeks and I'm gonna try it. I don't own a shotgun yet but I'm hoping to before the end of the year.


**** you auto correct!

**** you auto correct!

To simplify:

Trap: you stand in one spot and the clays fly away from you (thrower is in front and low) at varying speeds and varying angles. Singles and doubles are thrown.

Skeet:You have two "houses", a low house and a high house, placed about 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. During the game, shooters move to positions between 3 and 9 o'clock and take shots at birds flying from a pre-determined house. There are rounds of singles and doubles, where you either have to shoot a single bird or a double bird.

Skeet generally requires higher shooting skill, because you're dealing with birds flying at angles and different elevations. You're basically shooting starting with a 15* angle or so with the bird getting away from you to a 90* angle with the bird coming straight across. If I recall correctly, there's a round where 1 bird flies from each house a short time apart, so you have to lead and hit one, then lead and hit another. Hard to do consistently.

So, with skeet, target leading is key. With trap, you don't lead as much since it's mostly going away from you in a much straighter line. Less variables to worry about.

I shoot trap, because it's easier when you're shooting informally with a buddy. They just set up behind you and toss away. With skeet you need a marked field and two different throwers and at least two guys helping.

Wow, I wonder if we're doing trap and he's calling it skeet... I'm a pretty good shot with pistols and rifles but I've never shot a shotgun this will be fun.

Shooting moving targets beats punching holes in the paper any day. Although I do shoot my pistols and rifle just to practice. Shotgun shooting is most enjoyable. Big boom, moving targets and variety.
