  1. Honda's new to the USA 2010 NT700V Not new in Europe, it's been there for a few years. Opinions? It's about 566 pounds wet, 5 speed, 10.0 compression ratio V-twin, drive shaft, integrated side bags. Red without the ABS, and the Silver is with ABS. 2010 Honda NT700V Varadero
  2. Store bought kits for motorcycles come in all sizes and prices. A smaller one would be easy to store in a pocket or on the bike somewhere. Larger ones need an ambulance to haul them around. I'm sure something would have to be added or be missing, no kit has everything.
  3. that's hilarious, writing a rep IOU...
  4. When I stop, I usually have to get people out of the roadway. There is no guarantee that the next vehicle that comes down the road will stop. Secondary accidents at the scene of an accident are very common. Post road guards out both directions to slow traffic down. I have a med/aid kit I sometimes carry on the bike. More than just first aid. Some tools, flares, lumen sticks, hydration, etc. Along with basic and advanced first aid items. I know some other people carry stuff also. Most common motorcycle related injuries: 1. eye injuries: foreign objects, sunburn, dry and irritated, etc 2. burns: sunburn, exhaust pipe burns, etc 3. abrasions: scuffs, bumps, bruises, cuts, etc I'd add bug bites to the list. Not bad to have an anti-toxin for stings and bites. There are lists on the internet for making your own first aid kit for the motorcycle. But some of them seem to be way too extensive. Your best first aid is a phone to summon aid, and the ability to describe where you are.
  5. Don't feel bad. To maintain a military industrial clearance to seek employment with mil-spec aerospace... I have to produce ever address I've ever lived at since I left home after high school. (except time in the military). List all immediate family and where they are now. List all clearances I've had both state and federal, the type, and the start and stop dates. List everyone I ever lived with. List all trips outside the USA. List all aliases (now including all on-line monikers.) Declare whether or not I've ever had contact with a LONG list of organizations and the individuals that MIGHT anger the government... etc etc. And then the fingerprints and criminal background check with each local, state, FBI, CIA, Interpol, Scotland Yard, Royal Canadian Mounties, and a few others I probably can't mention. The first time I had to do this, I made several copies and put them away for safe keeping. And I still forgot to spell out my Sister's middle name, argh. They sent it back. I've also heard that keeping the first and last utility bills for all residencies isn't a bad idea either. In the last two decades, there has been a surge in fraud in the work place. People generate false documents, take a job, fake work and do nothing, and sudden vanish after six to 24 months. Many of them are foreign nationals. Computer programmers are especially venerable, since it's hard to check the work and easy to fake. Which of course created new jobs, people to check the work.
  6. If you read the Boba Fett books, he survived... oh no, spoiler, well wait, no, if he has books he must have lived... *confused*

    Really? Glad I got backups and emergency stocks... I bet the anti-germ kleenex and everything else will be gone soon. And the masks, that may or may not work. Today's funny... so they put up those anti-germ hand cleaners in all the hallways. The ones that go off automatically when you put your hand under it. So this girl sits down in the hallway under one of them, and it goes off on her head... I saw her walking around looking for something to get it off her hair.
  8. Correct. That's the way it's supposed to work for addresses anyway. Privacy is one thing. But hidden addresses keeps internetz worms from grabbing addresses and spamming people into oblivion.
  9. Heh, I have read most of the Boba Fett books. They make for a good story that no one knows.

    Same here. Confirmed 2nd hand exposure. Co-workers have been informed they were exposed. We'll see what happens. It's 1 in 10 to 1 in 20 for picking it up from close contact. Or so the CDC says. Close contact would be closer than 6 feet when somebody coughs or sneezes that has it. So there it is, spread out, six feet gap between everybody.
  11. argh, Boba Fett didn't use a light saber...
  12. lol, he said cool, not sinister or scary. And it's Boba Fett, not Freddie or something... edit: nm, I get it. The blogger thinks it's sinister and/or scary...
  13. The Somali pirate's surprise, was when these type dudes ran out and shot back: French Marine Commandos... Then again, that would be the same French Marines that did this last year:
  14. I know. Don't think I'd drink one either....
  15. yeah, that was back in the day of poor cheap students, and I'm sure he had the cheapest insurance he could get. But "insurance" is all about reasons they don't have to pay up. That's how they make a profit.
  16. thinking a drink recipe contest for a "Moose Cleveland Steamer" is now appropriate... could just call it "The Steamer" for short... (checks for drinks named "Steamer"...) ok, all clear, only a SteamBoat. Note: there is a Moose Fart, Moose Piss, and Moosemilk... and no Cleveland drinks?. edit: This is satirical humor for anyone that can't tell the difference... Don't make me define satirical...
  17. And Tomorrow, Friday night, is the last Hooters Hillard Bike Night. Not that hardly anyone was there last week anyway. ****Thread HighJack****
  18. ^^-- Texting flashback... it's the future...
  19. Bike parking might not be a factor tonight. But it's wherever/whatever for people. NOAA forecasting 100% rain with average accumulation of more than 1.0 inch of rain between 5pm and 11pm tonight for the Columbus area.
  20. two part thread, heh? 1. Where to go in the future. 2. Where to go tonight... (this part got lost) And The Old Bag of Nails in Gahanna would be worth checking out. edit: aww Cheech, you stealing my bandwidth again?
  21. Also... that which happened to some one I know hauling three bikes to Florida. Check and make sure your trailer and the bikes on the trailer are covered by your insurance, or any insurance. Chances are the answer is no, they are not. You probably need to add insurance for the trailer and the contents. Three bikes and a trailer hit from behind, totaled, no insurance.
  22. check them? hell, I think I lost one...
  23. what.. lol.. how long has it been there? I thought it might be part of the current changes, I dunno, been busy lately...
  24. Speaking of rep without sig, I noticed just before rep was shut off that it now had a column showing who did the rep... I like it...
