livbucks, no your not taking your lives in your own hands as much as some think, I believe. I just think there's alot of people that has taken safety too far in life. Same people that child proof thier house rounding off all sharp corners and putting GFI's in every socket with covers. Randy is one of them.

I am not a huge randy wakman fan, as I have read his stuff on several pages. I believe he has a niche and is playing it as far as it will go. I don't believe, that the ML are blowing up cause of magnum loads. A ML is a special thing that you can place in the category with reloading. You do it enough you are going to make a mistake. Bottom line.

The internet is a horrible thing sometimes. It puts people in a panic, and really takes away thier balls IMO.

Since the internet took off in 1994, and people got together discussing things, it has been crazy. I got a friend in customer service at Harley Davidson. In the 80's and early 90's, HD had some serious issues with the evo's bearings. Not too many made peeps about it. Since the internet took, off, it exploded. Customer service could not keep up with the calls, people saying, "I heard on the internet", then followed by, "I know 10 people with the same problem" just to throw in some credibility of the call. Now, I know people with the 99-2000 bearing issue, that won't take long trips cause they heard on the internet a problem. Holy cow, where are people's guts. I still ride my 99 Roadking with 35K miles. Long trips, short trips. Life is too short to be in fear constantly worrying about things that never happened.
