I wouldn't hear you well in any case. I'm sure someone is in the same boat.

I took the above advice and verified that my Convert does 4850revs @ 80mph.  By my math it should approach the rev limiter and the speed of light at about the same moment, in the northern hemisphere.  My math also tells me I'd need all the straight road in Kansas to accelerate to the rev limiter.  It will not happen here.

It's not nuttin, but it's not really sumptin, either.

Spud,

One of my favorite deep meditations is seeking the "nothing".  Endlessly healthy for the mind.  And peaceful.

Namaste.

 Really when one thinks about it , the complete absurdity of existence begins to come in focus . The only true question , why is the normal state not total nothingness  :huh:

This is the 2-wheeler.  I could shift it if I wanted to, but it's a Convert, so it's always in the right gear.  If the engine had to go faster to do 80 it would.  Shifting only makes it go faster faster for not as fast as not shifting.


I'll submit that last sentence for the NO CONTENT WHATSOEVER competition.   :cool:

I wanted to, I really did... Well, that's likely an overstatement.

I was about to, but then thought better of it as many do but don't share. We often have that but seldom discuss it if at all though in point of fact, if it ever really does occur, it just didn't.

When there was one here before, I spoke out against without really saying anything in particular and the anger and vitriol of the silence was deafening though that might have merely been an over interpretation of something that never really passed - if the interpretation was anything more than imagination.

In any case, to offer support of that or anything for that matter might be a fool's errand which is to say; a fool's error and/or a fool's erred end, I dunno.

With respect to not wandering off-topic, it is probably best to quit this here rather than offer up opportunity for tangent sniper's to pick up a thread and run with it.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Talk about "no content".
