    So who stops getting paid if/when the gov shuts down?

    That was before I retired. I still had to work, but I didn't get paid until the shutdown was over...

    So who stops getting paid if/when the gov shuts down?

    We were also considered essential, so we also worked during the last shutdown, but we didn't get paid until the shutdown was over. We were then back paid...

    So who stops getting paid if/when the gov shuts down?

    I know federal employees don't get paid during the shutdown because I was still working during the last one. I'm just wondering if those of us who are retired and drawing all of our income from the gov will also stop being paid...

    So who stops getting paid if/when the gov shuts down?

    I'm not trying to illicit political posts, so please don't post any. Since all of my pension income comes from the federal gov, it would be nice to know whether or not my pensions will stop. I get a military pension, civil service pension, VA disability, and SS. Will any, or all of these stop?

    What did your last front tire cost? OUCH

    Your statement that all CTs mounted on bikes are wrong is incorrect. I stated in my post that my Gold Wing handles exactly the same with a CT as it did with a MT, but apparently you don't believe that. I have no way of knowing what was different with the bikes you rode that had CTs, but I can...

    What did your last front tire cost? OUCH

    I don't trust the service depts anymore. I took a new front tire in to our local Honda shop to have it mounted. When I picked it up, I noticed there were no wheel weights on the rim, so I asked if the tire was balanced. I was told it was and that it didn't require any weights. After I...

    I wouldn't put a CT on a racing or a sport bike, it sounds like that's what you're referring to, but for touring bikes they are fine...

    What did your last front tire cost? OUCH

    Many have made this claim, but none have ever been able to show ANY evidence of a CT bead unseating from a MC rim, which should be easy to find if it happens, right?

    What did your last front tire cost? OUCH

    I find that the vast majority of car tire nay sayers have never ridden a bike with a car tire (CT) installed. A good example is shown in the previous post. Cornering on a CT is no different than cornering on a motorcycle tire (MT). Believe it or not, the corner of the CT flattens out when...
