Yes, but it won't try to dissolve your metal parts... What fun is that?

I approve of removing the Electoral College. It was more or less put in place to make sure the citizens weren't stupid and did something stupid. In other words, it kept the actual power of the vote with the States, and not the Citizens. We don't need it. edit: it's also an insult to all citizens, and a disruption of majority rule in voting.

Yes, I never mute the Floor Show...

Kawi, I'm just not amused. Maybe I'm just sorta grown up, maybe it's just out of control, maybe I just don't like the deliberate retarded actions of some people. Funny is good, but sometimes that is a thin line between funny and mean. But that's life, in all it's various forms. Have to take the bad with the good, or we'd never know the difference.

I'm stunned, yet again... not amused this time...

I have three Sandisk Sansa Clips. 2Gb, 4Gb (refurb), and 8Gb+ 16Gb miniSD= 24Gb. Obviously my favorite music player. Always have a backup player. I've been unable to fill up a 24Gb. Even when loading mostly 320kbps files.

Maybe rinse with a cheap drugstore alcohol instead of water, it will evaporate quicker. (alcohol is water soluble and there is a lot of water in the cheap alcohol.)

Ditto what BlackBetty said...

It sounds like they took a vehicle and went for a joy ride into town. A really bad idea.

If you have a year and/or 1000 miles of previous motorcycle experience, you can skip the first course and jump into the second class of the three offered. It's probably better if you've already been riding for a number of years. The second class also uses their motorcycles. The third class uses your own. It's an option, you decide.

It's called Fate. Whereas Reality would be telling the kids to get lost for a half hour...

Opposite here, I've gotten tolerant and patient. I no longer knock people down when I think they are stupid...

yeep, 3rd generation frames don't have frame under engines. Strictly "engine is stressed member".

This is coming up on August 8th. A short ride/poker run starting/ending at The Last Resort Saloon in Delaware. Facebook Motorcycle Monster

The reality check is to type it out, look at it, and delete it. I delete a good chunk of the stuff I start to post. I change my mind and I don't. There is no way everything typed should be posted. Just ask (insert troll name here). edit: agree with Cheech, that would be no fun. I enjoy the floor show.

Before losing control, remember that the Ruff Ryders up there in Grand Rapids appear to be mostly sport bikes with some cruisers. And if I had to guess, only a small percentage of riders of anything are truly experienced. Of course, there is a large percentage that think they are. Which is ok. Before you ask, yes there is a better percentage within Ohio Riders. Of both, harhar...

They forgot to mention that MC fatalities last year, dropped a huge amount. Something like 25%. If they are comparing an increase to that, which it appears they are, then we could simply be going back to normal. Otherwise, I'll go with blaming it all on increased use of cell phones and texting.

errr... I avoid driving downtown in Grand Rapids at 2am... Been pretty successful so far with that. The rider rode with the Grand Rapids Ruff Ryders. That might have come out in the trial. A group of sport bikes that ride wearing matching camo. "Loved by few, hated by many, respected by all." Just a social group, but 10+ chapters around. http://www.grandrapidsruffryders.com/ http://www.facebook.com/grandrapids.ruffryders

http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/05/28/motorcycle-news/mac-motorcycles/ Another bike we'll never see on the road. Built from a Buell Blast engine and custom everything else. Several variants available. Made in Britain, $12,800 to $16,000 US. I like this one: http://www.mac-motorcycles.com/

Those are aftermarket exhaust pipes and cans. Stock pipes are very expensive, and most people option out for lower cost stuff. Even aftermarket pipes can be a bit difficult to find in the USA. Canada and Europe have more options, since the bike is still very popular in those places. (Australia and New Zealand also.)

OR had a hiccup... the yellow bike is an F model. The side cover is more triangular, the regular is a box shape with the lip on the forward edge around the carb to airbox connections.

The F model 550 had 4 into 1 headers, slightly different side covers, and Mikuni 32mm? carbs. That's about it, other than slight differences in the frame, airbox, whatever. That's not saying every part will swap between the two.

Dump the points ignition, and get a Dyna S DS1-2. Very noticeable performance improvement, when combined with new hotter coils. http://www.dynaonline.com/skins/products/sportbikes/dyna_s/ http://www.motorcyclesolutionsllc.com/servlet/the-3881/DYNA-Coils-Dual-Output/Detail
