  1. Ok, now that's new. Here's the modern equivalents:
  2. Don't look at me, I think it should be all one big country for the three. Call it North Mexamericanda. Just to show the European Union how it's done.
  3. I had a friend take a Gold Wing to Nova Scotia, and then down the Blue Ridge Parkway, and back to Ohio. He didn't think a whole lot of Nova Scotia. He didn't think much of the Blue Ridge Parkway either, because of all the traffic. Maybe it was just the Gold Wing getting in his way, heh... This wasn't there in Nova Scotia back then. the 6th Annual Wharf Rat Rally - Sept 1-6, 2010 - Digby, Nova Scotia Pics from 2009 I think I'd rather be there when it wasn't crowded. Nova Scotia is sparse and isolated. And that's what I would want to see. Well maybe the Club 98, since it's in the neighborhood ... edit: oops, one more. This is the way to get to Nova Scotia, rather than riding all the way up through Canada. Take the ferry from Bar Harbor, Maine, or Portland, Maine, to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. http://www.catferry.com/ - one of the World’s Top 10 "Super Ships."
  4. You should know absolutely everything on the Small Business Administration website. As well as all the relevant information for small business on the IRS website. Start with the SBA assessment tool and business planner. Then go look for some ideas on forums. http://www.sba.gov/ http://www.sba.gov/assessmenttool/index.html http://www.sba.gov/smallbusinessplanner/index.html http://www.irs.gov/businesses/index.html?navmenu=menu1
  5. Probably all of the above. High schools around here have dropped Drivers Ed. It all has to be done somewhere else for cash. Wonder if that has an effect. And it appears that most flunk parking? Dunno.
  6. oh crap... *gets out dictionary*... no wait, here's the webz. ok, I gotz more than one also.
  7. Thanks! It's about time it got on line. Yeah, it reads the same for the public place part. edit: notice that it's different for sounding of horn. Whitehall has an extra that is not in Ohio code: © No person shall use the horn of a motor vehicle except to give warning to other drivers or pedestrians.
  8. I've done it both ways. At home and out to a shop. If it's cheap enough for a rebuild on a head you carry in, I think it's cost effective to do so. Providing it's quality work, of course. If you can check/inspect the other valves, it probably isn't bad to do just the one valve, lap it in, and reassemble. Bottom line is whether all the other valves are holding compression, and since you'll have that one valve out, the condition of that valve seat. It would be nice if you had a spring compressor that fits, and a spring tension tester. Then you'd know for sure what the condition is, and would be able to see all the valve seats and parts and judge them. Short cut --> I'm old fashioned, and will pore gasoline down the inlets/outlets and let it sit for a bit, to see if it leaks into the combustion chamber (with the head off). It shouldn't leak through at all. If your head isn't a leaker, fix the one valve only. My opinion; Japanese springs (all of them) aren't the best, and whenever possible, I'll replace them all with aftermarket of better quality. Maybe Japanese springs are better now than they used to be, but I don't know that. Of course, some aftermarket springs will be rough on the camshafts and rockers.
  9. Sorry, it gets worse. There is a state law also. Same law as everywhere else. 4301.62 Opened container of beer or intoxicating liquor prohibited at certain premises. I don't think anyone is going to rush to move out of state. Most other states will have the same law. The point is, some cities enforce some of the laws very strictly. And it's pretty much whichever laws they select to do so. Most cities used to strictly enforce muffler and noise on motorcycles and cars. But most cities have given up on that. As with anything else, as long as we're not drawing undue attention, it usually won't be a problem. Seems to me I remember one of us getting a ticket for a muddy truck in Dublin. Apparently it's against the law there. Won't say who, but it's really hard to say what will happen and where it will happen.
  10. It's an old law, for whatever reason necessary in the past. I don't see it enforced at all, but it's still on the books. Not likely to have an effect unless you're throwing bottles at passing cars. And now I'm wondering if Columbus has a similar law. I'm betting most cities have that law, seldom enforced.
  11. Some traffic laws do apply on private property. Standard case is if there is an injury, or major property damage. Go ahead and hit the building's store front window and see what happens. Official traffic control devices aren't on private property, but failure to control is another matter. Reckless and no ops and OMVI all apply on private property. There's always a way to charge some one with something if necessary. Otherwise with the lesser stuff, you're on your own with your insurance company. The not so funny case in Ohio; a 14 yo farm kid with an old car on his own farm can get a no ops and reckless for doing donuts in the field. But it's ok if he operates "farm equipment" with the proper farm license. Whitehall, like other cities, can give OMVI on private property as soon as you put the key in the ignition. You don't even have to start it up. Whitehall also has an open container law that applies to any area in public view. Such as the front yard or driveway. That's also one reason we're not supposed to have open containers outside in the parking lot at KoC.
  12. That's what I figured, it's a local law in cities. Same as noise ordinances.
  13. dam, I wouldn't give you spit for the valve spring on that one...
  14. lol, still not a law. Just good advice from the driver's handbook. And I do honk horn when passing. Most of the time, anyway...
  15. This will work, if nothing else. Violently honking a horn probably meets all five criteria:
  16. Applies to emergency vehicles. Not citizen vehicles. Applies only to whistles, sirens, and bells. Says nothing about horns.
  17. Thank you, I'm glad at least one other person knows reality.
  18. That's the way to do it, accidental discovery. There's also has been breakthroughs in the use of lasers to kill cancer cells only. As best as I can describe it, the laser is frequency tuned to kill only cancer cells. And it is used with multiple lasers, that form a holographic pattern to attack only the specific area of cancer cells. Translation: Holographic disrupter laser tuned for cancer cells only. I suspect that it's a spinoff from mil-spec research into... disrupter ray weapons.
  19. I considered dropping in since I was on the road today, but I was stuck in Marysville all day. Tsk...
  20. cool, wireless... I did not know that. See? I learn something new every day...
  21. Here's another DIY that uses 12V and standard bulbs. http://www.coilgun.info/kitt_car/home.htm edit: and another source of the 3V project: http://evilmadscience.com/tinykitlist/152-scanner http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/larsonkit
  22. congrats to bullseye, the 3600th Ohio-Riders member to join!edit: pending acceptance by the "powers-that-be", of course...
