  1. durrrrrrr.... I just lost 90% of my IQ looking at this picture.... Motorcycle? What motorcycle?
  2. I keep thinking about the energy drinks I found in Japan in the 70s. They typically did not have caffeine. They did work very well. And had some unusual ingredients. I just googled this bit of history: But notice that the original concept was a pharmaceutical, not a soft drink.edit: btw, I brought back Japanese energy drinks in 1972, with the intention of copying and introducing them to the US market. I never did. I'm an idiot...
  3. The article is from 2008. So it predates the noise laws recently passed. I tried to find more recent info, but nothing found. I suppose they will stay stock when buying new motorcycles in the future.
  4. More like a dual sport. I bet the basic design accommodates the roads found in India. Which have low speed limits and the majority are dirt roads. Note the 300cc single, and the dual sport tires. Oh, and the rims look way too weak to me. Needs something a lot stronger.
  5. Dunno what to say, I could talk about this for hours... Yeah, I'm speechless... (or just confused)
  6. Ok, attempting to find the original "Oakland Chronicle" article. Which will be difficult since it seems that the Oakland Chronicle is a Michigan newspaper. The Oakland area has the San Francisco Chronicle. Oakland itself has the Oakland Tribune. Oakland California does not have a newspaper named Oakland Chronicle. edit: article must have come from the San Francisco Chronicle, the "Kate Wade" person appears to be an employee of the San Francisco Chronicle. Still looking... edit2: Found it, here's the original article, it looks the same. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/06/09/BAJB114OUT.DTL
  7. ummm, I dunno, I don't even know what Kings Quest is. Guess I'm not a gamer. Putting mongooses on Guam would be worse than the snakes. The mongooses would eat everything... Something more like "Night of the Living Dead". Which is probably why I suggested it, heheh.
  8. That's right, I'm your doctor... and I said take two mice and call me in the morning.
  9. heh... I found it linked from 2leep.com when looking for that tank tread skateboard.
  10. Haha, I shoot clays with a long barrel full choke. (I think it's a 30 inch, but that sounds kinda long..) You wouldn't believe how long I can wait and still hit it.
  11. boo hoo, well it's the first time for meeee
  12. Funny Old Planet Next time, be careful what color bicycle seat you choose...
  13. Hey! I had one of those... except without the molded in flame stuff. I was desperate, really. Had to find a helmet somewhere to pick up a girl. The Harley shop was the only place quick enough. My mistake, helmets there are expensive, the little one was all I could afford. My second mistake, neither of us could even wear it. It apparently wasn't actually a helmet. I gave her mine, and I went without... geez... I should track this guy down and ship him that helmet. It's embarrassing, even hiding in the closet... edit: on the other hand... I have two old Buco police helmets. My pride and joy. I'll wear one somewhere some night so you can all see an antique helmet...
  14. Snakes on Guam is a serious problem. Since accidentally introduced, the venomous snakes have managed to eat everything possible. Many of the other animals are wiped out, including the birds. The snakes ate all the eggs. There are no predators for the snakes. Personally I'd introduce mongooses, but that's just me.
  15. Mahindra Mojo & Mahindra Stallio: Reviews, Specifications, Price, Fuel efficiencyIndian motorcycle made in India, NOT Indian of USA. Only about $1000 USD in India, but before anyone gets all excited about getting one, I'm sure somebody somewhere would make sure the price jumped to around $6000-7000 USD before it could be imported into the USA. A 300cc single, it's expected to be the fastest bike sold in India. The current fastest bike in India is the homeboy Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i. The global marketplace from India is expected to catch and pass China... Interesting styling, different from others.... But people would like to see a trellis frame. Ignition by Ducati Bologna and Engines Engineering of Italy for design Paioli USD front fork Also note that some people shouldn't be riding them: It's advertised as "The bike is also equipped with latest and advanced suspension system for jerk free ride."
  16. where does it end... get 'em boys... sue them up... I mean seriously, why stop now... sue them all... International House of Logorrhea (IHL) International House of Philadelphia (iHouse or IHousePhilly) International House of Mojo International House of Chicago (I-House) International House of Blues (IHOBF) International House of Reiki International House of Music (IHOMI) International House of ZZYZX International House of Coffee International House of Tea (iHOT) International House of Travelers International House of Fire International House of Chefs International House of Rhode Island International House of Bacon International House of Wives International House of Pain for Egg-Laying Hens International House of Threadless International House of Wine and Cheese International House of Pushups International House of Worship International House of Japan International House of People International House of Praise get the picture yet? International House of Hope International House of Austin Powers International House of Art for Children International House of Graphics etc etc Honestly, I was looking for: International House of Potatoes International House of Pork International House of Prostitution nope, didn't find those... But thats what people call iHOP
  17. In the dark of the night, in a foreign land, I dropped a motorcycle key right beside the bike. I could not find it even with a flashlight. A dusty dirt parking lot. I curled up on the ground and waited for dawn. At which time, I found the key right there next to the bike.... I tied a big long red cloth streamer to the key...
  18. one of my favorites... dropped in your shoe. Hard to find until you put them on.
  19. One possibility is to increase airflow under the windshield. Maybe moving the shield up or forward so air comes in around the lower side. Maybe. What you're looking for is creating laminar flow (smooth). edit: I always take the edge molding off. Not sure it's a good idea, or if it helps. Some windshields that is hard to do.
  20. I see them on West 40, even taller. Tempting indeed... edit: I see this type, only without the belly tank. All open underneath.
  21. Haven't learned to walk backwards through the same path? Good luck. Those days the keys get dropped in a new place, can take a while to undo. Oh, and one of the times I lost my car keys... they were in my pocket. While I was searching the front lawn with a metal detector...
  22. Crashed and slid under and out the other side. Guess it was a tall pickup truck. Kids, do not go out and practice this maneuver. Let's see... Racing in traffic. Getting spotted by the law. Fleeing in traffic. Crashing. Motorcycle scattered all over the road. Getting hurt. (non life threatening) Getting caught. Fail. http://www.fox10tv.com/dpp/news/local_news/mobile_county/high-speed-motorcycle-crash-injures-one http://blog.al.com/live/2010/09/motorcycle_race_ends_in_crash.html
  23. CalSci Motorcycle Fairings and Windshields
