12:19am. Intoxicated. Yamaha sport bike. Hit both the patrol car and the stopped car. Patrol car lights were on. http://www.toledoonthemove.com/news/story.aspx?id=641195

Target fixation? This just happened Saturday morning near Toledo. Motorcycle hits Ohio State highway patrol car on the side of the road. The bike clipped the open left rear door. Trooper was dealing with an OVI at the time, and stepped out of the way when he heard the bike coming. Rex Mahlman, 47 hospitalized with critical injuries. No helmet. Correction: Springfield Twp near Toledo. http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news/local&id=8254076

There was one near Helena also. Injured/unconscious. Hit a pickup from behind when it slowed. Riding into the sun with limited visibility was possibly a factor. http://www.thenews-messenger.com/article/20110716/NEWS01/107160306/Motorcyclist-injured-crash

heh, go read the marriage announcements in the newspaper sometime, and see what the age gap is when people get married. There is no standard. It could be anything. yeah yeah I know what's a newspaper where do I get one... And no, not interested in a 16yo that looks 30 and will look 45-80 when 30

Kasich just vetoed the Lake bill. Wants conservation and improvement to be factored in. As well as limits and monitoring of water usage.

Hey, Casper don't count... he's got bots working for him. Dooh! I didn't say that out loud, did I?

Well, my Mom taught me to not let another go hungry. If she thought there would be some one there like that, she'd give me lunch money for two. I wish more of the world was like that. That was fine till the day I bought the toxic hot dogs for me and the other kid...

Not always. Do it to the wrong parent and somebody gets fired. Either the worker that did it or the boss. Or both. All the rest of us get those apologies that mean nothing. If they did call a meeting over it, they are serious enough to shape the troops to a better set of social skills. No one is perfect, and we're all human. Most of us anyway. Forgiveness is appropriate, but they really should have checked and fed junior something. I would have out of my own pocket. But that's just me.

Hiedy motochic28... aren't you supposed to be working? Although I would be ok with calling this work... and welcome

ok, somebody on here wants it to be the victim's fault.... ummmm... no

some people never sleep...

I saw one of those in Columbus. Only with a weird body position. Entire body way forward, back arched forward, head high with chin up, elbows held in and back... I called it the praying mantis...

I've got a friend lives on a runway. One of those private places. I need to go visit. We used to fly places for pizza...

lol, stop that... As much as I got around, I was never at that track. The only good reference I found to it was on a Penton motorcycle forum. Penton and Bultaco were pretty strong in racing back in the day. I even checked USGS topographic maps, but an OLD topographic map is needed, that might have still showed the track. But yeah, maybe call a local motorcycle shop and ask. Probably across the river in Parkersburg. Ask wade195 on the pentonusa.org forum. He used to race there. Or Gary Roach on the same forum, he lived near there. Found here: http://www.pentonusa.org/forum/pop_printer_friendly.asp?TOPIC_ID=5594 edit: that track had a jump that dropped close to 100 feet. One of the biggest dirt track jumps anywhere. I'm hoping some one who lives in that area will remember it.

back in the day way... jack the bike up, take off both wheels, and put long straight metal rods through both axles. Eyeball and see if they are parallel to each other. Some fitting up might have to be done to get it right. Make sure the front forks are fully extended. edit: btw, you can feel a slightly bent swing arm easier than you can see it. Sort of a little funny delay between the front wheel and the rear wheel in flicking a transition from left to right or vice versa. It won't be the same both ways, like it used to be before it was bent. edit 2: what's really funny, is watching somebody try to use an extremely long metal pole to bend the rear swing arm straight again without knocking the bike over.

I reverse searched the part number for the upper and lower steering bearings on Ron Ayers. The length of the steering stem might be different, but the bearings are an identical match on these type bikes. As far as I can tell it will be all the years they were made. Confirm the actual year first. Kawasaki Vulcan 500 Kawasaki 454LTD Kawasaki Vulcan 88 Kawasaki Vulcan 88 SE Kawasaki Police 1000 These aren't necessarily straight swaps. I don't know. The steering stem might be too long or too short or other problems with fit of parts, brakes lines, steering stop on frame, etc. The actual identical front fork inner tube is only on the Vulcan 500 from 1990 to 2009. p/n 44013-1422 about $160-$180 each. Lots of shops on line list them.

I cannot account for why people would jump the light and turn in front of people. Yes, they do it. Thankfully nothing too large tries it. I've seen cars, suvs, mini vans, trucks, buses, and motorcycles do it. Guess they were all in a funk and in a hurry. I used to think that they must be from a state where left turns go first. Nope, not likely. Sometimes rather scary when they cut it a bit close and make people slam on the brakes. I posted a couple of years ago that I saw a COTA mini bus turn in front of traffic like that. Amazed because the mini bus actually tipped over quite far. Clueless as to why the COTA driver would do that.

The last time I read the tread on a Harley, the tire was on backwards...

Plus sometimes lower rear tire pressures for traction. Street bike rear tubes can come close to ripping up like that when the pressure gets low. How would I know that...

stupid delayed website response and double post move along...

Seen that one before. Not sure if it was posted. Yes, lucky. Yes, probably focused on the car. And think he was trying too hard to keep up with the others. But at least skilled enough to pick an alternate path of survival.

This has happened out there several times already. The North thinks the South is in irreversible debt. Other splits have been proposed, like seperating East California from the West Coast, all of it. East California's rural income probably isn't high enough to survive on it's own. Even a split into something like 5 to 8 separate states has been proposed. Someday they might find a way.

muhahaha repost... sorry, I just had to do that. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=76436&highlight=bimbo whodathunk a post about bimbo bread would be a repost...

Quite true. Salmonella is common with aquatic reptiles and amphibians. But not so much with snakes. And really doesn't compare too well with rabies. http://www.cdc.gov/Features/SalmonellaFrogTurtle/ Salmonella is more commonly found in and around uncooked poultry and eggs in the kitchen. And anything that it touches in the kitchen. Nearly 100% certainty, which is a more recent condition. It didn't used to be that bad. I'd advise against the shooting of the snot nosed kids. Perhaps shooting the kitchen would be more appropriate. edit: reading around the internet... all animal feces can transmit salmonella. Human included. Snake feces can be infected like any other animal.

Now snakes on the other hand, have no diseases for humans. They eat rodents and vermin. They don't eat your plants, dig in your garden, get in your garbage, or tear the shingles off your roof to get in. And yet people kill them on sight, when they are best left alone to help us out.
