No kidding... Nice! I don't even have a garage, I have to envy all of yours! lol

Gotta work.. I usually don't work on weekends but a customer needs another ESXi host set up in their VMWare HA cluster. I have to shut down all virtual machines to add in the host to the iSCSI box. They are open till 1pm on Sat. so the fun begins there. I'll probably go home and stare at the wall for a while after that. Then beer on Sun.

I didn't read anything past the possibility of hummer pictures in this thread. Scrolled through quickly... Bummer... No Pix!

I'm in for the move to IPB. Sounds like you have weighed the options and are leaning toward IPB anyway. What all is involved in the migration? Do they have a MySQL db conversion tool? Either way, I don't need the mobile app and don't really mind what platform the site is on.

I like the orange too.

Oh man... That's just wrong.

Are you replying to me or just quoting me to post the links?

I'm agreeing with you. +1. Backing you up..

Tell a cop that! I expect they'll laugh. Rangers have the authority to ticket, but I don't believe they have near the depth of training as full blown police officers.

And unless I'm mistaken, their jurisdiction to ticket is limited to park lands

I think this is true..

Its legal to do in Ohio. The officer must return the firearm in the same condition it was taken from you. Iirc Cleveland was taking them, field stripping and returning a bag of pieces. Courts put a stop to that.

I've never seen it happen but have heard of it happening.

Yes, the officer can disarm you during a traffic stop. He/She must return your piece in the same condition in which it was taken.

I would have just kept going if it was a park ranger. They are ass holes who think they are cops but don't have any actual authority other than they can call the real cops on you.

They ARE cops! Don't you guys remember that time in hocking hills where they pulled over 15 of us? My group waited for him to come back from chasing the group that nailed it. He was surprised we waited & just gave us the lecture but he could have ticketed some of us. I was enjoying the scenery and being a slow poke and the guy pulled out in front of me chasing most of the pack... I have pictures of that somewhere... I should post them up...

Even plants need food and water to live damn tree huggin hippies.

Actually, plants create their own food with energy from the sun. The process is called photosynthesis. The "ingredients" necessary for photosynthesis are light, water, and carbon dioxide. The end products of photosynthesis are oxygen, which the plants release, and carbohydrates, which become the plants' source of energy.

Wow! Good job! Congrats!

Going by the pictures, it looks like you just punched a hole through the case cover. You can replace that and the gasket. Look while you have it off to see if there is damage inside. You can probably do it in an hour most.

Edit:

Is this the R6s?

What scares me is all the people that leave QSL on Bike Night. They are almost all drinking. Wives on the back. I always wonder if they have children.

Is somebody kidding?

Sweet! You made out!

Grab clutch, let off throttle, let bike correct itself.

What he said... That's what i was trying to say. Just to be clear.

Yeah, tank slappers are a bitch.

People have some really good advice in this thread. I have heard that hitting the gas hard can bring you out of a slapper, making the front tire light or even off the ground and I can see how that would work but you have to be really experienced with wheelies in an "oh shit" moment, lucky, crazy, or all of the above. Clutch it up and don't try to force it correct.

The slapper gets set in motion from things people have already said, but mostly when you gas it hard and the front wheel comes up a bit, even 1/2 inch... In that time the front is off the ground, if the handle bars get cocked a bit, when the front wheel touches back down on the ground, centrifugal force will whip the wheel straight again, sometimes a few degrees more than it should. Depending on a lot of things, it starts a cycle of correcting the wheel straight but keeps "over-correcting". Scary as hell!!!
