It's a Victory which is also made in the good ole USA. If you want to learn to ride, you should take a riders safety training course. They will teach you everything you need to know and give you valuable seat time that is supervised. Money well spent and you will have a good time. When I was young, I learned to ride the hard way which was also the wrong way. When my wife wanted to learn a few years back I suggested taking the course and took it with her. Learned a lot and I highly recommend it to everyone who is interested. Hey, that's hitting close to home. I can stand at my mailbox and throw a rock onto the Polaris property where the engines are tested! Polaris owns a 600+ acre ATV test facility right next door to me. They also have a large engineering/dyno/test facility on premises. I kick myself for not going to the community open house a few years back when they opened the facility. They know how to throw a party too. They had a customer appreciation celebration a couple of summers ago and hired a local band, Zed Leppelin, a pretty good Zep tribute band. The band shell was probably 800 yards from home, but I could still hear them well enough to identify the songs. Hell, I should see if I can get a job there, not many people can drive a corporate ATV to and from work. Ride your ATV to work day. Now that would be cool.

Sweeet! Now you just need the warmer weather. How come every time I see a picture of the Emotiva parking lot it's almost empty? Do you make the workers live on bunks in the back? No bunks in the back although that is a good idea. Oh wait, didn't that get banned around the turn of the last century? Not where I live.

I heard earlier this year that they are shutting that one (and possibly others) down and moving all their motor plants to Mexico like BRP did for their ATV line. On the flip side, Arctic Cat decided to ramp up their engine production by building snowmobile engines at their plant in St. Cloud MN. Nice bike btw Lonnie.

From a business standpoint I can understand why they might do that, but I would hate to see all those jobs lost.

I think (or at least hope) that a good number of the Osceola WI jobs would relocate to Wyoming MN, the two cities are only about 20 minutes apart.

PDAir leather case came in for my Macbook Air laptop. Nicer quality than I expected. Receives the highly coveted "Rich Recommended" moniker.

I thought it had been shown that ozone is actually bad for you? (although smoking is likely worse <G>). Here is an article on it from the Environmental Protection Agency www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.htmlLooks like you should avoid Ozone. Doug Yes you should avoid being in the room when doing this and wait several minutes after it`s completed so oxygen levels stabiles and it explains that in the manul , I`ve worked for a company for a while that did fire/smoke damage cleaning and that is what they use to eliminate smoke damage and it does completely eliminate the smoke damage and I mean completely eliminates it forever, but yes you need to be out of the room that`s why they call it the away setting and if you come back before it`s completed you go in and shut it off and leave the room and wait 5 to 10 minutes before going back in
