Do some reading on the Sovereign Citizen movement, then you will "understand". These guys are just an extension of the whackjob separatist militias, except they just make up this whole set of guidelines as they go. For instance, if the flag being displayed in the courtroom has a gold fringe, then that's actually an admiralty flag and they are being tried in a Maritime court under Maritime jurisdiction. I really can't make this shit up. The Southern Poverty Law Center has them listed as a group, not necessarily a hate group but a group nonetheless. Their write-up is here. As for the vid, dude got what he deserved.

Nice dig at the end. It so happens that I bought my 600rr with a "custom" wired integrated harness which consistent of wires being twisted together then bound with electrical tape. I quickly ripped all that out and replaced with a 6-wire automotive wiring harness which I sourced (here, in case you're wondering). I don't claim to be a motorcycle mechanic, however when I'm doing a wiring job I want it done to last, not from some guy who after seeking then ignoring the advice of those who are more experienced just laughs it off with a "lol, good enough" and moves on. It also so happens that you've done an excellent job documenting all this for posterity. Honestly, if I were you, I'd hold onto the bike until March/April when the feeding frenzy starts and then post it on CL. When you do this, I'd just skip posting it on OR entirely. I'm pretty confident in saying you've managed to pollute the pool of people that might be interested.

I'm just going to leave these here, so that prospective buyers have a better understanding of the condition/history of the bike being offered and the quality in which maintenance/repairs were done. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=91589 http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=91805

Can I drill with them anyway? I'm what the Marines would refer to as "a disgusting fatbody" and wouldn't mind a regimented workout.

What overly dramatic bullshit. What does that statement even mean?

Ah yes, the NY Post. Wake me up when it's on the BBC or Al-Jazeera. Rahman's lucky he got caught and sentenced when the rule of law and habeas corpus were still practiced by the US Government towards foreign "enemy combatants". His ass would have never seen the bullet coming in this political climate. Either way, Egypt's not getting him and Morsi knows it. The US isn't as weak-willed and naive as England was when it forked over the Lockerbie bomber to Libya. This is a calculation to make it appear as the US is carefully considering Egypt's proposal so we don't look like we immediately laughed in their faces, which I pretty much guarantee the guys at State did once they got that request in.

ah, the wonders of 4chan.

Thanks for posting, I stand corrected. That's fucked up.

Yeah, I gotta go with this. I've made it a habit to rack up savings at Giant Eagle (with confirmed 10% ethanol) and fill up my car and 4 5gal plastic gas cans with no problems at all. I don't know what kind of plastic your tanks are made from, but whatever it is it doesn't seem to be the standard stuff.

Great, so much for my perceived mileage savings using "standard" gas vs. the ethanol blend...

I picked up a Kershaw speedsafe something-or-other from Woot about 6 months ago. Sharpest damn knife I've ever had, and a worthy replacement to a POS CRKT that I had in my work bag.

I was under the impression that the major name gas places still had standard gas, while the places like Kroger and Giant Eagle had 10%? I see the 10% signs on the Eagle fillups, I don't see them on Sunoco's, for example.

No. Octane booster is simply additives to gasoline that increases the liquid's tolerance for compression. For instance, if you put 87 gas in a engine that's designed for 93, chances are you're going to start hearing a knocking sound or pinging sound. That sound is from the air/fuel mixture prematurely igniting simply due to the pressure created from the piston compressing in the cylinder. Premium fuel, or fuel with a higher octane rating, enables the vapor mixture to withstand this higher compression until the piston is at the top of the stroke and the sparkplug ignites, setting off the mixture as it's supposed to. Octane booster does fuck-all to increase engine performance using regular gas in a regular gas designed engine, nor does it increase performance in premium gas engines using premium gas to begin with. Also, the cost of the octane booster is more than if you would have just bought premium gas to begin with. It also would do absolutely nothing to change the fact that you're running 15% of corn ethanol through your engine, and neither would fuel stabilizers. For more info about engine knock, premium fuel, and premature detonation, look here.

Just get some Amazon gift cards and groceries at Giant Eagle and fill up at the beginning of the week, you'll have a hard time getting above 3.20 a gallon without having to plow through ZOMGWTFBBQ lines.

Sometimes you just have to fire when you're goddamned good and ready. You got that?

You free this weekend for a doggy playdate? Lucie's been anxious to get out of the house, and I know we've been saying this forever.

Yep, I'm aware that I've got to have some sort of centralize file server. I just bought a Raspberry Pi, maybe I'll fuck around with R-Pi NAS and see what the performance turns out to be.

That's the thing though, I don't want to have a full PC running all the time, my power bill is high enough as it is. The HTPC is the closest thing I have to that, and it goes into C3 standby when I'm not using it so that's out. Thought about getting a Synology NAS and running that, but I don't want to blow the $600 for the NAS + decent HD's.

Something like these? I hear you can get them in all kinds of colors, doesn't get any more big boy than that.

Shitty takes care of his shit, people. Someone buy this.

I bought them for my Katana. Construction was cheap as hell, I had to glue a few of the pods back together just to make things work. YMMV, but I didn't have a very good experience.
