Hey,
Hang on for this news. It’s as if someone drew a scraggly line in the sand. Nothing can stop us. The economy may be down, but events are up. There’s lots of deals out there, and the principle’s office is in an uproar.
Hang on.
ZIPPERS THUNDERMAX CUSTOMER SURVEY–Q. How would you rate your over-all satisfaction with ThunderMax?
A. GREAT!!! That’s what I have to say, since I have installed the Thundrmax with auto tune, I have no issues. I was so impressed with the product I figured I could’t go wrong adding the digital speedo w/ tach and the advanced functions enabled when combined with the auto tune like head temp, front and rear air fuel ratios real time monitoring, 0-60 elapsed time and horsepower measurement. The digital display gets lots of attention where ever I go. Keep up the great products. Thanks!

NOISE ISSUES HEATING UP– So, give me some water to put out the growing fire, if you have some good ideas. NYC is coming real close to passing bill Int-416a: http://webdocs.nyccouncil.info/attachments/86212.htm. This would essentially ban loud bikes from the city under egregious penalties. Denver has already passed a noise law. Both cities based it on 40,CFR-205.
I’m not sure if CFR-205 was not cited before because it’s not enforceable or beause people weren’t as fed up with noise as they are now. I live in NJ but helping the ABATE folks to fight Int-416a in NY. Any tenable ideas, send them along! Take care.

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC STATISTICS STUDY FROM THE BIKERNET UNIVERSITY, Doctors vs Gunowners– Doctors: (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.
Now think about this: Gunowners
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that’s 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, ‘Guns don’t kill people, doctors do.’
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
