    I did not see anything I had to have on that website. I would love to have my first 2 street bikes again though. 1975 Yamaha RD350 1973 Kawasaki 900Z1
  2. I have never heard of the Northwest 200, thanks for the heads up. I do not think the Moto GP guys would stand a chance at the IOMTT. I do miss the Indy Moto GP as The Circuit Of The America is a bit to far for me to ride from Indy, especially in late April, of course I could swing by Hope on the way home.
  3. Jim thank you so much. It is so refreshing to meet some one that you have so much in common with. It was the first time the sun has shown in 8 days. Luckily it was the day I picked up my HIP. Sadly my rear channel Forte II are going on the disabled list. Standing in is the HIP and already hooked up and playing. I don't think I can post pics yet. They are my kinda girl.
  4. My first Klipsch experience. It was 1988 and I had just moved back to my hometown of Indianapolis after landing an electrical engineering job and I wanted to celebrate with a new audio system. I went to my local high end audio dealer which was Ovation in the Casetlon area of Indy and purchased a pair of Polk speakers and a receiver. I hooked up my new gear and put on GNR "Appetite For Destruction". The speaker overload protection soon kicked in. I was so disappointed, I boxed them up and back to the dealer we went. Of course my salesman first wanted to know what kind of cables I was using. "Uhhhh speaker cable" I replied. Well that is your problem, you need these new $$$ Monster cables. I was not so easily convinced and thus my salesmen threw in a few feet for free to get me out of there. Back home and reconnected the same problem still existed. Back to the dealer again. Of course this time my salesman was sure it had to be the electrical service to my house was dirty. Just so happened my friend had an oscilloscope, so I verified a lovely sine wave was present and confirmed what I already knew. This time at the dealer they asked me what I was listening to? Another gentleman nearby whose name was Victor (I think he was the mgr) told my salesman to get me a pair of Heresy. He then looked at me and said "Go home and try to blow these up, if you do, I will give you another pair". Of course I didn't try to blow them up, but I did crank them up. The difference was amazing. I was now completely happy even though my wallet was a little bit lighter due to the extra cost of the Klipsch. I have been loyal to this day to Klipsch (except a SVS sub) and have 3 different types of heritage lines in my HT setup and am always wanting more. I am a past forum member but my old profile got lost in the software changeover sometime ago during a period of my inactivity, so I am starting over but I do not believe I ever told this story. I also have an event that would be best named "My most awesome Klipsch experience" but since I am again a noob I need to work on my post count. So I will post it separately.
