General Banter / Re: This is cool
« on: February 29, 2012, 07:35:20 AM »
I was at a Canon seminar recently and they said the movie Act of Valor was shot almost entirely on the Canon 5D MkII digital SLR. They said more film makers are using DSLR's because of the HD video capability and the ability to control exposure better, as well as the variety of lenses that are available and the ability to control depth of field. Much easier than alot of expensive professional video cameras.

I have state farm, full coverage, $250 deductible on each bike. The lowest premium is $264/yr on the Harley and the most expensive is $336/yr on the KTM RC8R.

General Banter / Buell partners with Hero Motocorp of India
« on: February 22, 2012, 09:20:23 AM »
Hero Motocorp is the largest producer of motorcycles in the world, they build 6.4 million units annually. They partnered with Honda many years ago and if you've been to India, you will see many small capacity motorcycles running around with the "Hero Honda" logo on them.

For those of you who may know him, Tim was the sales guy at Delano Motorsports. He recently changed jobs and went to work for Kemps. His son was killed this morning while waiting for the school bus.

General Banter / Re: IMS

So many companies have tried this in the past and failed. All it takes is to contact one of the big dealers, find out what they would sell it for, then negotiate with your local dealer. It won't make any difference whether they are allowed to list their true price or their selling price, there's always a way around that.
