A bunch. My parents live in Melbourne. I can watch from up on the roof. I saw the first launch on a vacation with a friend from Boeing/Vertol Maryland, and lots of others, but the one night launch I saw was amazing.

Holy crap, if I ride with Lance now, I'm going to have to wash my bike. Really nice work.
-
hack, got it... Yes, gotta love the internet. One of the first websites I stumbled on was spaceweather.com. I still like that one too. You never know when you will need things like sunspot data or asteroid strike percentages. Did you see the pic last month of STS/ISS passing in front of the sun?

Pocket change. I want one just because they look like they are fun to thrash.

Yeah, this is really old...But: 1. Less than a hundred years ago, Irish, Italian, Greek, etc, were not considered white. Only English, German, Scandinavian, etc. 2. In less than a hundred years, white will no longer be a majority in the USA. No one will.

Take Parsons to 104 to 33 to Pickerington road north into Pickerington, maybe... Lots of "ifs" here. Everything East bound will be overloaded tonight, probably. edit: actually, I'm going to leave now...

Argh, some of us work 8 to 5 all week. Although I do have Fridays off. And that is the first chance for me to go, other than evenings. Until the weekend, anyway.

I'm having trouble comprehending the concept of $3700 for a clutch....
-
Nope, too long ago, I won't remember that. I could probably find out his current status, the next time I'm out at the Bolton school. Or I could just call if it's that important.
-
No doubt that is what it was. It's a B-17 though, not a B-52, heheheh.... I'll go, I always like seeing the old birds.

omgthat'sfunny

Yes, this is a great article. It was posted before, but looks like it was lost in the server crash. It generated a bit of controversy. Which is not surprising, considered the publishing of the article generated an extreme reaction from the Snell Foundation. So anyway, if I've got an engineering and physics background, guess which type of helmets I wear? (And I read this article first.) Besides, I'm not one to argue with hundreds of dead monkeys...

I think I can still do 20 blocks on a bicycle, up on one... maybe more, easy enough...

Now you tell him.. I'm sure he wants a second chance now. I'm going to sleep...

Yeah, it probably would bog down, if it was too much fuel. And yes, it sounds like new clutch discs needed. Unless your clutch pull is way out of adjustment. Springs get changed also, when it's open. Clutch plates are probably ok, check for thickness and flatness. I said plate before, it's "clutch friction discs" and multiple "pressure plates".
-
Well, the test for that is like... 40-45 mph in top gear, hit the gas. If the engine revs without getting going, yes, clutch springs/plates are goners.
-
Dirty air filter? Or something cutting down on the air or fuel flow, at high rate of flow.
-
And don't scramble the plates or discs, not in position or rotation. Stock springs aren't very good, it should improve things. Oh, and lube the cable and pivots for the clutch too. Just sayin'

So we went on this 174 mile ride and ended up at Bike Nite...
ReconRat replied to thebbbusa's topic in Daily Ride
I went past Classics a couple of weeks back, and no bikes there at all. I kept on going. I guess it never caught on. Hooters East has a few bikes on Sunday afternoon. They just laid out motorcycle parking in the lot. Painted it. I think they are ok with rolling in later in the evening. Dunno. I'll try and check if the specials will be good later than just the afternoon. -
It should have come from the overflow of the coolant reservoir. Meaning that hopefully it was only expansion of the fluid when extra hot. It happens.
