Lost

Sounds like LEO in your area are pricks and just looking to make some money. If you have some time go and fight it. I imagine you could probably get out of it.

At work last week I heard a lady said she bought a new scooter and the place she bought it issued a title saying it was a moped. I asked here if it pedals like a bike, she said no, hmmmm. Mopeds are still supposed to be able to be pedaled like a bike right? I am gonna visit the shop where she bought it and see if it is true. Then I will get the State highway patrol involved. I think it is Bullshit. She needs a motorcycle license, appropriate insurance and a helmet for the first year. Your thoughts.

Whether you realize it or not an employer is not required to give you holidays off nor even give you holiday pay.

I guess the union members who are unhappy will do a better job picking their union leaders next time. But seriously, This is what the United States is based on.....Religious freedom. The Pilgrims came here to practice their religion. I have no problem with anyone doing that.....but in the same voice, respect my choice of religion by not detracting from my way of celebration.

At least they were not wearing chaps.

I also work at a hospital. I am treated differently because I work at the hospital. They will not give me antibotics, There are some super bugs; Mrsa and Cdif, that they worry about me contracting. Antibotics are bad because Cdif is not killed by most of them, but their competing bacteria is killed off so they take over. Your immune system doesn't have a lot to do with surviving it. It is about timing, which varient you catch. As the original cross over virus runs it course it typically gets weaker. Plus what if you need to be hospitalized? The hospitals are full, then what?

Madness? The American public is to stupid to deal with it so they need to be scared into doing something. Sure the commercial is morbid but your talking about it. So how long are you prepared to stay home? Do you have enough food for a week? two weeks? How about money? can you be off work two weeks? This has the potential to kill millions of people and you treat it as a joke? Do a little research pretty frightening. Spanish flu killed 40-100 million people, the hong kong flu killed 1 million people. read for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flu_pandemic So what are you gonna do?

That is an easy one to fight, of course dicking around with the ticket will cost more than just paying it. I would snap a picture of the meter with the sticker on it say that you must pay between ? am and 8 pm and show up to court with that. It should be thrown out no problem except if.......it is a valet parking spot. A lot of meters at the north market are being used for valet parking for the rich and famous restaurants and the city is definitely enforce that, The valet company pays big $$ for those spots. They actually tow out of them, saw it first hand, I like to drink at Barley's, Russian imperial stout and sour kraut balls.

I have parked in the Arena grand garage, city center, Ohio/convention Center, and the eye center garages, Riverside, Grant and OSU hospital garages. I almost forgot Campus garages too. That is just a quick list from here in town. The only problem with some of them is the vehicle detectors at the ticket gate may not detect the bike, But no biggy. Parking on side walks, High street north of downtown to campus. And Random other places around town, again no big deal just use common sense. Never a parking ticket. I would not park on a side walk or any where near North Market, too many whiney yuppies with out of control kids, plus it is heavily patroled by meter maids, why tempt fate.

It is always a bad a idea to park your bike outside overnight. When I travel I will try to get an outside ground floor room and pull it into the room or I carry a kryptonite cable that I have an alarm wired thru. Olentangy commons is not in that great of a neighborhood. Of course any apartment complex is not safe to anything outside. I am gonna bet the bike is now a tore up stunter by now.

Urban legend

Isn't she the hot brunette with the big rack?

Now there is a few young men that could use a strong male role model and a little male guidance. That is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

I agree that the chase was a bit much. I think the sheriff should have radio'd ahead and had a cruiser waiting in the drive way for the dirt bag when he got home. Running from the popo is bad stuff, lucky only his bike got bent.

I ride my bike to work every single day. This day is ridiculous.

I just like talking about stuff. There are far worst people that you probably know. I have known a few and I agree they are hypocrites, but they live their lives on their own terms more so than most of us. There live change little because of a new model year or energy price fluctuations. Were did all of the animal lovers go????

They buy their land with cash, they pay their medical bills in cash, Do not believe in credit, They don't get divorced, They spend time with their children, They have a strong sense of community. Yep they are horrible. veal = food. Veal is a bi-product of the Dairy industry, and darn tasty. Don't waste it taste it. Pets are a complete was of time and morally questionable as it is like slavery. Now dogs are eaten around the world and with the amount of Orient food I have eaten I have probably eaten dog. No idea on taste, everything taste the same in general tso's or sweet and sour sauce.

I do not know of anyone with first hand knowledge of anyone getting a ticket for aggressive driving or tailgating, multiple lane changes. That CPD officer got busted for road rage after showing her gun and threatening the other driver, But that was road rage and nothing about aggressive driving. Tailgating or assure clear distance is usually just tagged on after a rear end collision. The second you approach the car you are the aggressor, he could pop you because he was afraid for his life. But the whole episode is pointless and nothing was proven other than bruised egos and a bunch of testosterone being sprayed all over the internet. CCW and actually drawing the gun will change your life forever. Just because you have the permit does not insulate you from other charges associated with drawing the weapon. Every dirt bag has a family and an attorney. Be mindful of your choices and the cost to you and your family. You could cost your family more than you can imagine. You could be the one going to jail and he could own your home and future earnings.

sure it pisses you off. But what if he had fell over into on coming traffic??? Remember who actually started it, YOU DID, you approached him. Aggressive driving is not illegal in Ohio and you cannot get a ticket for it. 2 Ton SUV trumps 300lbs motorcycle. So you wasted how much of your evening dealing with this???? You didn't win or prove anything other than make that guy hate motorcyclist. The police do not care, have you ever been involved in the legal system, It is a mess and this is a non event to them, barely worth of a report. Ride like your invisible and live to ride another day.

I have never had a problem parking in the parking garages in any city. Now you have to pay, but no biggy. I park in the arena grand and city center garages all the time. As a matter of fact I have never been turned away from a parking in a garage. Courtesy and common sense prevail.

It is legal in Columbus to park on the sidewalks. I have done it for years. Use common sense which most scooter riders seem to lack, and not park in the way, block doors or flow on the side walk. The guys that got tickets were from parking in front of condo's and the other condo owners didn't like it. The scooters were also jamming up pearl alley, They were everywhere and blocking foot traffic. Did anyone see it? What a mess! A guy or gal will park his $2k scooter were a person on 10k motorcycle will not. The only place I have ever got hassled was Eastland mall. Rent-a-cop hassling me about parking under the awning of the out of business Lazarus store. I ask him to follow me and went and returned my purchase to the store I let the manager know why.

Did you ever get it sorted out????? I don't have a battery to loan, but I have a multimeter and 35 years experience. Let me know if you need a hand.
