  1. Usually folded and stuffed inside the tool bag. This one was probably hooked on the hook under the seat, for locking a helmet, and got loose.
  2. It would help if "Jonny Jobe" was important or famous, but it appears his impact on society consists of a myspace and a facebook. (And a expensive bike for sale on eBay.) Not good enough. Nowhere does it say that it is a registered charitable organization, with details to prove it, so that the purchase would be tax deductible. Fail.
  3. You're just mad 'cause that was your corner...
  4. Ditches can be quite soft and comfy, but I better than that. I just moved over as far as I could (really quickly) and slowed down. So yeah, at first I was aimed for the ditch big time. Let him have the entire road. He was approaching full lanes at the light, and both patrol cars were going far right off the road to turn left. At first I thought they were coming to get you guys. I was wondering what sort of fight you'all had started up. Figured I better get over there in a hurry and talk your way out of it for you. I can do that.

    I don't know. I guess it's because they've had troubles in the past with people making keys for bikes. I don't see the big deal either, since you can pick the bike up and take it, or roll it away. I think they should check registration to make a car key. I bet they don't because they want the sale.
  6. This one also. http://www.motorcycleroads.com/
  7. Double post, argh [enjoy filling in any conversation you wish]

  8. Wait... Hella conversions rock. Expensive though. Hella is the Euro auto lighting standard. Better than what we have here, but not recognized for legal street use here. That's not a problem, it's a better light and legal in it's own way.

    A good locksmith can tell if it's the right key for the bike by the VIN.
  10. You're a ginger in your heart. Errr, partially anyway... I need to visit Ireland. That's one of the other 1/4 I got. This entire country is part English Irish or German. Always was, and still is. And if your ancestors have been here for 6+ generations, you often share a 6th cousin with any family that's been here for 6+ generations.

    They will if you show them the damn registration. What they probably meant was that they didn't want to stock bike keys because they hardly ever sell any. which reminds me, I always have the registration with me and offer it for copying a bike key.
  12. That was fun. If you ever play in something other than the dark, I might even get some decent photos. A couple were ok. I didn't mention almost getting flattened by a patrol car on the way over. Dude was moving way fast, I dove for the ditch. And that was after speeding up a little for a fast car coming up behind on the freeway. Fast enough I let them go instead. That was also a patrol car in a hurry that wanted my lane.
  13. She means her second job, the one nobody knows about... yes, I'm making stuff up out of boredom...
  14. I had one not for being loud, but just for having the can cut open. Not stock. Small town. One forum I was reading was trying to say it's getting worse again for tickets for noise. But they were Harleys, probably with straight pipes, so we shall see.
  15. The peaks look like noise, but still, 95-96 average is definitely respectable.

    There ya go, and that way it will look like an original key.
  17. hahahaha, you don't even want to know how much I've spent in arcades before game machines were invented...

    I've used a place on the East side to cut one from the number on the lock or VIN. So I'd say any good locksmith should be able to copy one. Maybe even some hardware stores, but I haven't tried that for anything other than car and house keys.
  19. These links won't hold up over time... Resident Evil Zelda Chicken Fett ok, even GI Joe
  20. wait, what? geez, check the spark timing first. To make it worse, some Harleys were known for bad timing marks. A few have to be top dead centered and have new marks put on. It's worth a look in the sparkplug hole when rotating, to see if it even looks like it's at top dead center when rotating to the timing mark. Best to use two people sometimes. But if it's stopped at the top of piston lift, it should be right on the TDC mark.
  21. I'm pretty sure I don't need one. I'm not supposed to over fill the reservoir (or boil the fluid). I'm supposed to cover the bike before opening the reservoir. I try not to ride upside down, and if I do, brake fluid is the least of my worries. I'm supposed to change out the brake fluid before it discolors or breaks down. Of course, now I want one... Do they have them in flat black? edit: Yeah.... ok, if I run across a Resident Evil, Zelda, or Chicken Fett wrist band, I'm buying it...
  22. here ya go, internet mining... Columbus City Seach - 22 listed Yelp 18+ search - 84 listed Yelp 18 over search - 55 listed Yelp under 21 search - 26 listed Yelp will also show attributes like "gay bar" so that you can avoid those.
  23. I do remember the searching for 18+ clubs, but that was so long ago, that none of it would matter now. Regardless, OSU campus has a bunch, but you have to put up with the crowds and the lack of parking. I wonder about the South campus Taco Bell gathering of bikes. A very student type crowd. Just drop by some time and ask them where they go, or did go.
