Been in the desert for exactly a week now! Its hot, sandy, and hot. I know what do you expect for the desert right? It dosn't sound like our work schedule is going to be bad. Life is good here compared to people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Djibouti. We have two movie theatres, a pool, starbucks, hardees, subway, lots of little haji shops, a beauty parlor that gives massages, multiple places to get chow hall food. Life is good, just hot, and away from friends, family, and motorcycles. So my address is : MA2 Compton, Bradley Navy Law and Order APO AE 09366 Please do not send any pornagraphic material, or alcohol. Just recieving it in the mail gets me in trouble. Magazine to the caliber of Maxim, or motorcycle magaizines with bikinis are ok. No tit, bush, or ass with out a string. |

Brad, let us know what you can use. I saw an 1125R at Chili's in Brighton on Sunday. They had a big rally in Hell this weekend, so it could've come from anywhere. |

The only thing that I can think of right now is Motorcycle magazines. Do any of you computer guys know of a antenna or booster that will help my laptop increase wireless signal. (no snake oil) Thanks Brad |

I do not know of any that receive, the antenna for wifi is two wires behind your monitor... You can by an booster antenna for the wifi device pumping out the signal, but I doubt your wanna give them anything lol. I am sure D3r3k can step in here and let you know if there is one for the laptop... |

I found this one that claims to increase your range up to 2 miles, but I've never used one. Anybody else have input on this? http://www.wifisignalking.com/wifi_signal_king_7-1 _verify_2_018.htm |

I've been looking for new gloves and maybe a helmet. There was a shop on Grand River east of Motor-City HD. I think it was called Performance Leisure. Anybody know if they're still there? |

Matt, Check out Speed and Strength. Their gloves and jackets are very nice. I saw them at Great Lakes Powersports in Flint, but I'm sure you can find them around. http://www.ssgear.com/catalog.html |

I have a built in wireless to my laptop. Its a toshiba satillite. Will something like what D3r3k linked to increase that signal, or provide me a whole new way to get a signal. I am not that computer literate. Thanks guys. If you are looking to send anything else, baby wipes unscented, beef jerky, granola bars, protien bars, fiber bars. Anything healthy. I am trying to get down to 175lbs. I am already under 190lbs, and I started at about 200lbs. Thanks again. |

I get no signal in my tent, but if I walk outside and towards some buildings I get one bar, or I can walk to starbucks and get a pretty strong maybe 3 bars. I am hoping to be able to get a signal in my tent, my dad called Dell and ordered a wifi booster, it was 69.00 bucks. We will see when it gets here. He said we only have 21days to return it if dosn't work. Well with shipping times to and from Kuwait I don't if it dosn't work I will have time to ship it back. |

I see how it is, I leave the country and all of sudden you guys start riding together again. You could have just asked me not to come any more. Joking Im glad to see that you guys are getting together. Life here is hot, but I am going to midnights so that wont be as big as issue. Brad |

So I went to Detroit HD and rode an 1125R it had a nice liner power delivery and handled great but I just couldn't seem to get comfortable on it. I know D3r3k that you have one how do you like it. The guy I was talking to didn't seem to interested in the older XB line and all they had were 2 1125R 1 CR and a Uly. I was out at A2 last week briefly and I couldn't even find a sales person and when I did he basically said MSRP on an 08 STT and the 09 SS. I like the X-1 I just want something new and for what he quoted me on trade in I will keep it or part it out. So I don't know what to do. |

The 1125R is an amazing bike. I noticed a little extra pressure on my wrists when I first started riding it, but I quickly adjusted, and now I have no complaints. It's nice to have a bike that just works, and I don't feel the need to change the exhaust or make any modifications to improve it. I think I recruited another Detroit Hooligan today.

It's the same place. Hopefully we'll have better weather this year and we can hit the roads around Hell after we're done at Zukey. |
