Agree, monthly updates does suck but then security breaches suck more. I just hope we get sooner rather than later to having everything be HTML 5 so we can droip all the crappy java stuff, flash this and that, etc.

Mitsubishi News: Mitsubishi Sets Aside $480 Million for Compensating Owners Involved in the Fuel Economy Scandal
That figure of money seems LOW for what a company should be planning for as I would expect them to be hit with fines also.

Ramps. But it's the only way I'll get it down to Florida.Front of front tire to middle of rear tire is 76.5" Yeah ramps still just suck getting a bike into the bed of a truck. We used ramps to get my Daytona into the bed of a Silverado when I picked it up and it just always seems sketchy. Why not drive it down to Florida?!?! Well it sounds like it will fit with a little maneuvering it around if you put the front wheel in one of the corners, but the tailgate will have to be down. Wouldn't I put it along the center line of the truck? Why not drive it down? I"m a new rider and don't want to be on the bike for 1,200 miles. I want to stay down there for 2 or 3 weeks at a time, and being only on a motorcycle wouldn't work. I found Bikes Corner to Corner work out very well in truck beds. Load it up say on the left side of the tail gate and wheel it into the passenger right corner and strap it down. For short beds that always worked best for me.

Honda News: Honda To Quietly End Production of CR-Z At the End of 2016
I consider this to be another of Honda's recent failures. They have done Hybrid multiple times and always missed what the public wanted, they brought this back and again ignored what the public wanted. Honda seems to be living in the past and not paying attention to the future of what everyone is wanting or doing. Sad, cute little car, but just not what the public wanted from day one.

BMW News: BMW 7-Series To Not Offer A Diesel For U.S.
WOW, You really now NOTHING about Electric Motors. They OUT TORQUE Diesels and are far better economy, Diesel had their day and yet in places where electrical is still rare, 3rd world countries, diesel is king, but in modern places, electric is way better. Yes Diesels out Torque regular Petro, but like Petro they have to rev up to produce and give that Torque. Electric is 100% from zero and just keep going till it tops out. Enjoy your Diesel days now as they will be over soon and you can thank VW for that!

Lovely bike Drew! Motoplex by my house sells Yamaha, Indian, BMW bikes and has a great selection of used also. Here is their used listing, http://www.motoplex.net/s/search/inventory/availability/In%20Stock/usage/Used/type/Street%20Bikes/type/Cruiser~~V-Twin/sort/best-match Here is their listing of Indian, You might like the black Dark Horse bike. http://www.northsoundindianmotorcycle.net/s/search/inventory/ Over all, I have to say I like the selection of bikes at Motoplex. http://www.motoplex.net/index.htm Those prices on the few that I'm fairly knowledgeable seem outrageous. 7k for a 2007 GSXR1000 w/ 19,200 miles on it.. Just sounds high to me. When it was brand new in 2007 it was probably only like 12k back then. Then a 2013 CBR250 with 12,200 miles for 4k... a brand spankin new CBR300F is 4k and a CBR300R is 4,400. Oh and a new CBR250R is only 4200 They may be high compared to your market, Here in Washington with one of the highest more educated work forces and an average income over 85K a year, prices do run higher here. That I know. Why looking and shopping around is very important.

BMW News: BMW 7-Series To Not Offer A Diesel For U.S.
Totally understandable, more and more people have been turned off from diesel in cars. Trucks they are fine with but for cars, Hybrid / EV is the way to go. I suspect over the next 24 months we will see a proliferation of the Hybrid / EVs with performance equal to or beating diesel.
