Unfortunately you are correct. It both disgusts and amuses me to read union arbitration awards. The smallest detail of the investigation and or report can get it reversed. The unions were meant to fight for your right to work. Not fight for your right to be a shitty person, doing a shitty job and still getting paid for it.

I was thinking along those same lines. It's amazing that I made it through my teens and twenties,but I imagine most people that experience life will say the same thing.Some folks don't make it...there but by the grace of God go I. RIP

Okay, so this is how the story goes. I posted a while back about a QSL bike night on the forums and got nothing but "that's a shit show full of pirates" so I stopped posting on OR about bike nights LOL. Probably not near as bad as getting flamed for having neons hooked to a car alarm on my bike, but never the less. Secondly, I was sitting at home trying to figure out what to do when I saw a couple of riding buddies post they were heading to bike night, so I hopped on the ole' G S X r and headed up there. Once I got up there I was walking around and I saw two bikes resembling two guys from OR... A white vulcan cruiser right next to a bluish bandit 1200. I thought it may have been @Tonik and @crazyskullcrusher so I sent them both messages. Jim responded back and said he was on his way... Who seriously invites themselves like that??? The one guy up there was @tall_tracy's roommate so i figured I'd send her a message and see if she was coming. She wasn't so rude as to invite herself, so I felt obligated to invite her along. Unfortunately, it wasn't to a starbucks so I had to be real convincing for her to bring the Ducati anywhere else. It wasn't some master plan to invite some of the guys from OR to bike night and not the rest. Lastly, if anyone is interested, I will be heading to QSL in Medina, next Thursday, 7-28-16, for bike night. They are having a dyno setup and I want to put the G S X r on the dyno and see what she can do. $20.00 for 2 pulls and I figured I'd make a ThrottleLockTV video as well. PS. Maybe I'll turn the neons when I put her on the dyno. That adds HP right?

Columbus people only post about riding...

You ungrateful bastard. I am creating compelling content for your site, running contests with my own personal points and even lining up a TESLA for members here to test drive. Jumping Jesus on a Pogo stick I even bring Donuts to all the events for everyone. Without me, you suck. You still suck, well you still suck just less. Even I can't overcome your suckyness. God Damn ungrateful kids.

So a complete engine rebuild?

Better make sure your brake fluid isn't fraying too.

Thanks. Glad to see it is working as intended.

https://www.n2td.org/ There was some interest in another thread about some guys wanting to take their first hit of the track pipe, well here is your chance. N2 will be at PIRC on the 27th and 28th of August and a couple of us offered up towing bikes or whatever else is needed for free if its your first track day. So who is in?

Just dropping in to say hey! FZ-09 rider from the Akron area.

I was informed by my 7 year old that my motorcycle is "100% cheetah fast."

Here's to a quick recovery and best possible result. I had tendinitis in both my achilles when I was in highschool, some debilitating bullshit. Luckily mine was treatable with meds but I cant recall what I was scripted back then... Good luck with the healing!

Well, the plasma may be worth something...

Thanks Bubby!

Thanks Bubby!

This is a good deal, Tim. Start pricing those 5 X 10's and see what I mean. I'm towing a 5 X 10 with my 4 cyl Subaru, but my trailer is pretty light. Snag the trailer now and figure out how to tow it later. There is always a way even if you have to get someone to tow it for you. .

It's a wonder DNC chose philly over newark.

RIP, we have all done illegal things on bikes. Tsk tsk to some of you. If you don't have a bit of hooligan in you: SELL YOUR BIKE---POSER

Bike scene has changed. This is my third time back in eighteen years. Late 90's everyone was much more tight and the economy was roaring so the disposable income was high. The inside the loop guys could cross into the SE rides no issues and vice versa. Oh the shenanigans, surprised I survived that shit. 2009 ish economy took a poo, housing collapsed and the bike community took a hit. Nowadays most of my old buddies don't own bikes or family obligations. C.O.R.E. is non existent (wth happened). Posted some bike nights and seems like the Columbus people aren't into it. Went on a posted ride and only five guys show up. Wierd dynamics. But oh well, I'm always up for a ride and people watching at bike nights! Oh, and everyone knows stickers make your bike faster! Ha Keep on keeping on, post up and let's get people involved again!

With a crime rate of 49 per one thousand residents, Newark has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/oh/newark/crime/

Hello and welcome to the OR!

Still love you asshat.

Having a bad day HeavyDuty? Might be a good day to take a nice long ride.

No worries, I'm sure he'll pass on his bike being your 3rd gixxer drop.

It's aged like a fine wine.

Well, shit, why not make it three?

I can also vouch for the seller. The guy posting it for him is sketchy as hell though.

I reflect the same, After that one ride with tonik I think Derek is becoming a hatemonger. But I headed down south so happy anyways. Wish you guys were more east and southward so we could go for some evening short rides at times. Or even better we all were more south. Funny thing is the farther the peeps from good roads the more active they ride it seems

If "neon lights on a bike = spinners on a car" what do neons on a car = on a bike? I always though spinners on car = rim strips on a bike

Get well soon! We need to go to Thurman's again

Glad @Isaac's Papa noticed an issue with my clutch lever. Prevented something like this on down the line.

What we really need is a Doctor

You know what, it definitely is the levers lol. I got them off eBay and after taking a look at my stock ones, it looks like there is a slot that the wire goes through instead of being cut off on that edge. I'm going to take a look at new levers and I have been looking at CRG ones. Not sure what other brands are good but I have just been seeing CRG a lot. Also another question, I have seen some levers that include a "perch" on Revzilla. Is the perch necessary?

I loved the LEDs I put on my old ZX9. Especially since I loved to ride at night. Might have just been a sense of false security but it made me feel like I was more easy to see to other drivers.

If he said they are a must, then he must have hidden them in his old VFR somewhere. Also, thanks for the heads up guys, I woulda cruised to valley view last night!

It's always the last thing you check....

It was the ground wire on the motor... Usually something stupid ... We checked all relays the neutral switch clutch switch and Sid stand switch they were all showing continuity so we checked the ground to motor has a slight film on it cleaned it up and that allowed the starter relay to get current it is running like an rc should ... It's usually something stupid and it was and just happened to be the last thing I checked but it's running now so I'm pumped ... Thanks for the advice and tips

Is the sub dual or single voice coil? What ohms are the voice coil(s)? If dual VC how do you have them wired, series or parallel? What load is the amp stable to when ran mono? You need this info to see if the amp is seeing load it can't handle. Also check your ground and power connection. Are you running sufficient gauge wire for the amp?

And to be clear, they Made me Turn them on to take the picture.

There's a cruiser in your garage.

people still put aftermarket stereos in their cars? I didn't realize it was 2001 and Paul Walker was still alive....

You are welcome to take my GSX-R 1000 for a spin if you want...

Not sure criminal charges are warranted there unless you can show they knew it was the wrong truck and were trying to kill the women. If it is a 'mistake' criminal charges might not be appropriate. I work for the State, if I f up our computer systems and cause massive data loss I am fired, but not charged with destroying State property. I will bet dollars to donuts they were disciplined and then the union got it all reversed. And that is not right.

I wish they had called the movement "Black Lives Matter, Too." Then there wouldn't be any of the "All Lives Matter" rebuttal nonsense, feigning stupidity as to what they meant. BLM is a good idea that's been poorly executed, and overtly exploited by violent assholes.
