  1. hahaha you so funny aussi edit: *waves* hi PayPal people
  2. *looks*... dangit, don't see one yet. alas.
  3. Same thing with a short somewhere while running. Dash and gauges will go goofy and out. Won't start after that, battery voltage is too low. Jump it and the same thing happens again. But it will run ok till it gets shut off. The one I saw, it was the radiator fan not turning, and it shorted out. So the gauges didn't go goofy and out, till the radiator fan tried to run.
  4. That's not a bad idea. You'd need a website to go along with that.
  5. Victorville... SCA, LEA, PAG, AVA, or hauling engines for GE? Or maybe Army Reserve Aviation... I like the high desert side of the mountains...
  6. Just protecting your space... yeah, that's it...
  7. That's an iron butt ride! I've mapped that one out, but other than the lighthouse/museum/fort and the ship traffic at Mackinaw... dunno. There is a decommissioned Coast Guard ice cutter/museum downtown. There is a souvenir/tourist trap area in Mackinaw also. Easy to hit if eating in that area. There's a bunch of interesting small towns on the West side of the peninsula. And that's lower peninsula. You mean upper lower peninsula. *confused* Upper Michigan is that part on the other side of the bridge. Someday I want to see that part also. Robert W.

A lot of deer up there. edit again: you can zoom in and type attractions in the mapquest search, and it will point out stuff in the area. But I'd get on over on TripAdvisor, and search some of the areas for info.
  8. I've seen motorcycle escorts force approaching traffic to pull over and stop. That would be an exception though. Hell, if it looks a Veteran, stop right in traffic, get off or out of vehicle, and salute honors while passing. Teach people of the street some respect...
  9. I like to watch arrivals, and see if one falls over. Out of 3000 or so Harleys, at least 2 or 3 will fall over. I know... lame...
  10. " Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this"
  11. ok, for Jagr --> drink lots of beer. Preferably PBR. Known to rescue many a victim of heat. I saw it on the internet, it must be true. edit: come to think of it... if I had been drinking beer, that would not have happened...
  12. Don't forget to drink lots of water in this heat.. Crap. I just got sick. Heat sick - lack of water. I noticed early on and Gatorade fixed it up with a water chaser. Hard to ignore the nausea. And I thought I was drinking a lot of water, apparently not.
  13. bump - news search found nothing yet. only that an suv rolled over at 6:30pm on I-77
  14. The Suzuki GSXR 600 K6-K7 service manual says: This is on a sticker somewhere like on the back swingarm, unless some one removed it.Notice it says cold, not warm, not almost cold. "In the morning when the temperatures are at the lowest for the day" cold before you ride anywhere.
  15. I've ridden on rear flat (zero air), far enough to get air. Kinda walking it for part of the way. Darn bike wouldn't turn for crap.
  16. From what I see in the Michigan debate: It's all a result of the no-fault change to insurance. All insurance providers pay into a pool, that covers all the no fault. It also covers medical payments above and beyond standard coverage. The public each pays a claimed 124 bucks average into the pool of funds. Insurance advocates (for Michigan) claim motorcycle riders pay 2% in, but 5% goes out for medical.
  17. ^^^This. Be careful. Both front and rear low air can do that.
  18. I won't ride SR60 on the South side of Zanesville because of that. Between McConnelsville and Zanesville. Stupid expansion joint bumps. Endless quantities of them. ladump ladump over and over. And then they quit briefly, only to start back up again... 20 minutes worth. edit: Let me know if they ever fix that...
  19. Actually, some 6Mp point and shoot cameras take better pictures than 8Mp DSLRs. It's the sensor chip itself. When the 8Mp and up sensor chips first came out, they were not as good as the earlier 6Mp sensor chips. Particularly in the color rendition. That, and the actual size of the sensor chip, larger is generally more capable. And you never know which one will have less noise at the higher ASAs. Some major name brands are terrible with noise.
  20. I would rock color tires on a beach bicycle or a scooter. Red green or blue. No orange... it might turn pink. No pink. Maybe not even red, it might turn pinkish. Did you know you can get knobbies in camo?
  21. What? People getting wise to addicting food and drug substances that shorten our life? All in the glorious name of Capitalism? Don't answer if you own stock in any of those companies...
  22. Is he the first owner? Something sounds fubared in the wiring harness...
  23. Yeep, gonna drain all the water out of the Great Lakes and put it in plastic bottles and sell it to fools for big bucks...
  24. Tread pattern was extremely important back in the day. Unless you liked handle bar shaking speed wobbles on the freeway rain grooves. When technology started grinding rain grooves in the roadways, tire sales went way up. And you picked that new front tire carefully, by the type of tread it had. That... and I really kinda miss the old school tread patterns on street tires. Darn it... You know, tires that lasted forever, not like the big round rubber erasers we use now. And yeah, they were bias ply tube tires. Something you could fix on the road with a little tool kit and some air, usually without removing the wheel. Yeah, we had center stands...
  25. lol, then pick a tread design from the ones you listed. Those are all great tires with only a few exceptions. Mostly the wear/mileage. Stick with the available sport tires recommended for your bike by the tire manufacturers. edit: btw, the top two rain tires for street are the Dunlop and the Michelin. At least they claim that.
