This isn’t anything that can be surgically removed. We are way past that.

Do these picture help with your question? Do you now get why it cannot be surgically removed? You simply can’t go in and scrape away that much tumor around the spine and vital organs, it simply can’t be done.

Tavern was supposed to be put down the following day, but Carol scrambled and found a home for him. He needed an operation that was going to cost 4 grand, he could hardly walk. The following day the vets located a home for him. The new owners claimed that they would take care of the operation.

I was wearing a neck brace at the time because I was in my chair 24/7 and couldn’t lie down because of my back. I would fall asleep and my head would hang causing neck issues.

Hi,

read Robert Bruce and especially Robert Monroe's books on ASTRAL PROJECTION / GOING OUT OF BODY

you can train yourself to leave your body at will and enter astral realms and further -- monks do it regularly.

And in these realms the power of intention and healing works better many find. This will come way out of left field for anyone who's never heard of such things, but you'll completely transcend fear of death, life, dying, living -- well anything most likely.

It's a wonderful experience that a bit of training can initiate for anyone.

Also, if you wanna see something quite remarkable, watch the documentary: The Boy With Divine Powers

about a kid who doesn't need to eat, drink water, go to the bathroom, or sleep -- ever -- he transcended these bodily needs with deep meditation, and many film crews mostly confirmed this in addition to thousands of spectators in Nepal. Many deep meditators in the east can do these kinda things and far beyond too, although I know this highly western science minded audience will be highly skeptical.


Here's a link to the 5 part videos of Buddha Boy:

http://video.google....d...emb=0&aq=f#


And here's a Coast to Coast (the best radio show) episode on Astral Projection for newbies to get familiar with it -- it is an amazing thing to wake up to -- below if a link of a talk given by a physicist on it and how he learned to do it:

And yes, I still practice good health and basic life extension even though I'm hardly afraid of death nor care at all to live in this body forever.

Goku, I hate death more than I fear it. But any fear of death that I do have will vanish if and when I have a fully funded cryonics account.

I'm one of the skeptics, it just doesn't sound logical.

LOL, it was -29 here a few nights ago, it was a balmy 20 degrees today.

I like the new version of my bike, freshlooking sporty design. I have the stats, it's powered by a lively new 649cc twin mounted in the chassis, I think Kawi’s engineers deserve a round of applause.

Yeah, I bought it by accident.

I went to a showroom looking for a honda nighthawk 650.
Instead I fell in love with my bike.
Completely different beast.

Ohh, you got a much better deal with this. Sport Rider magazine compared the newest models in the 600cc class with their ‘Fun Factor’ budget bike compo and Kawasaki’s 2008 Ninja 650R came out on top.The Kawasaki was up against the Honda 599, Suzuki SV650, and the Yamaha FZ6. All the bikes were tested for performance on the street and the track, but your bike was crowned “King”.

How many miles do you have on it?

I think it was just under 900 last time I looked.
It took me some time to get used to it, and winter set in, before I could do any serious riding.

How long have you had it? What took time to get used to?

That wind-cheating fairing looks like it effectively directs the wind blast away from you while at the same time giving your bike a distinct look of its own. The Windscreen protection looks above average for this class of bike, it must help take the windblast off your torso. Although it looks like your your head is still in the breeze, how is it for helmet buffeting, or is helmet buffeting almost non-existent?

I have the old style carburetors, although mine were bored out, piped and ported for extra horse power, but dammm, you got the Keihin digital fuel-injection system with 38mm throttle bodies, that eliminates the need for a cold-start choke. Cold and hot starts must be instant and your bike must be ready to ride immediately. Drivability must be excellent and throttle response must be free of abruptness coming off idle and smooth throughout the operating range. There’s gotta be enough thrust available to keep you pretty jazzed, especially in the tight, twisty stuff.

I've had it for about 6 months now.

You gotta understand that the last time I rode my old bike was about 8 years ago.
Plus it was 100 cc, not quite a motorbike.

The power on this baby scares me just a little bit.

Yeah, I do get some helmet buffeting. I really should put a new fairing on it.
Especially following a car. Although some people would say that I should be passing cars
rather than following them.

I'm still too much of a newbie to do the tight twisty stuff.

Throttle response is pretty nice.
It isn't too sensitive either, I haven't wheelied it yet.

Yeah, there are lots of things to do if I want to and some more power to my bike.
There's even electronic stuff like Power Commander III.

Not yet, though. Right now it's still more power than I can handle.

I'm glad your dog was taken care of, such a smart looking dog. We need to get you preserved too, I'm sure you'd prefer to trade your bike for a fast intergalactic ship--perhaps in post-human state you could be in the open, feeling the elements while traveling. I should say I learned to drive a motorcycle at age 12 before I learned to drive a car, also from age 6 on I rode on the back of my mother's bike--she changed from Harley to Suzuki for the speed

After you put about 3k on it, you'll be use to the power.

You don't need a new fairing, hold on. I'll be right back.

There is another close up. I put a special light bending tint on it, you can see the visual effect, not that I need you to take note of that. Take note of the height and shape of the windscreen.

This picture isn't the best shot in the world, but the new windscreen swoops up and in about an inch taller than my original windscreen. It's tinted so I had to sacrifice the light bending effect, but it was worth it.

What I have is a Cheetah Windscreen, it is designed with a raised rear lip to provide more wind protection than the stock windshield that came with the bike. It is a thick high impact acrylic molded windshield and it is pre-drilled and I could have gotten clear or light tint, but I liked the dark tint.

You might want to consider a new windscreen, it is important. Motorcycle windscreens protect you from elements such as rain, sand, rocks and dust. Windscreens also help cut down on windblast and keep you warmer in cold weather. Protecting yourself from windblast is hugely important for keeping moisture on your skin. Windblast evaporates the moisture on the skin leaving it dehydrated. A quality windscreen will keep the windblast to a minimum and allow for a more comfortable ride in any weather condition.

Here in Maine, riding season is short enough, and wind chill is a big factor. Cold windblasts when riding will quickly cool down your body temperature and often reduces your riding time in between stops. For example, if the temperature outside is 30 degrees Fahrenheit and you’re riding at a speed of 50 mph, the wind chill temperature that your body feels is 12 degrees Fahrenheit. That 12 degrees can make your cold fast! But weather conditions don’t have to get very extreme on a motorcycle in order to feel extremely cold. If the temperature outside is 50 degrees at 60 mph the wind chill temperature that your body feels is 39 degrees Fahrenheit. Even at these temperatures Frostbite times are as low as 30 minutes. Windscreens block the wind and in turn greatly help to increase the wind chill temperature so you stay warm for longer periods of time.

If you ride, eventually you’re going to get caught in the rain, a windscreen will help keep water off of your body by creating a high pressure bubble around the you. Windscreens also help combat fatigue, back pain and arm strain by removing the windblast. Less windblast against you will make your ride more comfortable and enjoyable. And of course, windscreens eliminate the bugs in your teeth and on your face and sunglasses.

The taller sport bike windscreens provide more wind protection than stock windscreens by punching a larger hole through the wind. This will decrease helmet buffeting and make the air behind your fairing much less turbulent. Better wind protection allows for Sport Bikes to be used as Sport Touring bikes. A quality windscreen is a must when riding your bike long distances or when riding in an up right position. Sport Bike windscreens also give your bike a unique look that will set your bike apart from all the others.

Fortunately for you, you have better windscreen options. If I could have, I would have bought a Double Bubble, nothing says racing bike like a new Double Bubble Windscreen. They don’t make those for my bike however. Let me cut and paste from Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windscreen.

Aerodynamic Breakthrough
Following the aerodynamic trends that were developing in World Grand Prix racing in the early 90's, Team Zero Gravity experimented for the 1995 race season with a unique concept in windscreen design which improves the flow of air over the rider while reducing frontal area of the bike and rider combination. The windscreen appears as a "bubble within a bubble" which is exactly how this windscreen is fabricated.

The Double Bubble Goes Racing
Our first version of the Double Bubble appeared on Team ZG's 1995 Yamaha TZ250's ridden by Nick Ienatsch. Using the 1995 racing season to develop and refine the Double Bubble shape, ZG introduced the Double Bubble concept to the Honda factory team for the 1996 racing season. Honda riders Miguel DuHamel and Steve Crevier embraced the design for its improved airflow and more comfortable ride. Later that year Team Zero Gravity used the new Double Bubble on its own RC-45 superbike ridden by Ben Bostrom in his inaugural superbike race at Sears Point Raceway. In the years following, the Zero Gravity Double Bubble has become a staple for factory teams and privateers alike.

Now Available for Selected Bikes
Because the Double Bubble concept had proven itself on the track and provides a unique look for the latest designs in sport bike styling, Zero Gravity introduced a line of Double Bubble windscreens in 1997 for most modern sportbikes which can be used for street or track applications. The Double Bubble series is in an ongoing development stage. If you don't see your bike listed, give us a call.

Imitation - The Best Form of Flattery
Because of the wide acceptance and sales success of the Zero Gravity Double Bubble, other windscreen brands have tried to copy the unique Double Bubble design. It is important for the consumer to know that there is a difference. And we invite you to compare the original Zero Gravity Double Bubble with any of our competitors' attempts at imitating our original design. The Zero Gravity Double Bubble will come out on top on all accounts.


I had fun doing a few hours of research for you on this. They make this for your bike, so instead of messing with the fairing, which is already nicely designed, all you really need to do is spend about a hundred bucks and turn about 6 to 8 screws and your problem is solved. Below is a low profile bubble. My favorite pick.

This is the high profile windscreen, it does offer more protection but I don't think it looks as sleek as the low profile screen.
