    Spend my money, opinions on a new (to me) scooter

    Yes sir, 147RW out of Houston. Flying the RC-26 when I get home. You are certainly more of an expert on UPT than I am so I will definitely consider your recommendation not to bring a bike. My biggest reason is that since I'll be in the Unaccompanied Quarters, I won't have hardly any...

    Spend my money, opinions on a new (to me) scooter

    Absolutely. Do they make a passenger seat for it? How's the range? Looks pretty sporty. I'm really trying to get away from carburetion is my only hang up here. Columbus isn't, but I'll only be there for 1.5 years. Then back to Central Texas with some fun roads. I'm also looking to...

    Spend my money, opinions on a new (to me) scooter

    I think I need something a little more touring than that, if it's what I'm finding online. Also, including the ones I'm already looking at plus the ones you mention, how is the maintenance on them? Any well known electrical issues or rear ends blowing up? I'm not looking to be working on it...

    Spend my money, opinions on a new (to me) scooter

    In April I will be headed to Columbus, MS for pilot training for 1.5ish years. I'd like to do some riding on the weekends when I have time and they're going to pay me to bring a bike if I want to. My current ride is a '93 VFR and, while beautiful, is a maintenance handful at times. I enjoy...

    Montgomery GI Bill or Post 9/11 for me?

    Start training right before the end of the fiscal year. Then let it renew and continue on?

    Montgomery GI Bill or Post 9/11 for me?

    So since I'm Guard, I won't have BAH in every day life. When I vest in the 9/11 Bill, can I get BAH while still in the Guard?

    Montgomery GI Bill or Post 9/11 for me?

    So we're at that time in our training where I need to decide if I want to do the Montgomery or 9/11 GI bill. I thought I'd bring it here since there are people who know much more about this than I do. I'm not concerned with giving it to a wife/kids. I have a JD already so I don't see myself...

    Haha, even in a group as small as 14, you can always count on people to screw simple things up.

    We had a fun visitor at Maexwell yesterday. These guys came from the Kansas City Reserves just doing a little flying. Very fun planes to watch.

    Every July; Seems like it's 'free 5 days rent' month, and I'm sick of it

    Every July; Seems like it's 'free 5 days rent' month, and I'm sick of it

    In that sort of a situation I can understand it. It sounds like he still lives there? In that case it's just offsetting some of the cost of his ownership. But, say, someone renting an entire house where the landlord has a mortgage+taxes+hopes to actually make a little money I don't know how...

    Coming from Texas, I understand high property taxes. I've heard people say this before but it confuses me. The landlord that owns the property has to pay those same taxes, so they're being passed on to you anyway. I don't know of many landlords who would charge less than their mortgage+taxes.
