What makes you seriously think that Donald Trump would be a good President?

Self-promotion. That's it and that's all. If he had any actual plans to cut the deficit, even make an attempt to balance the budget, ease fuel prices, demonstrate how he's going to make up for his lack of foreign policy experience, he would have thrown something, ANYTHING, out already. Instead he keeps fucking that Birther chicken that's netted him so much free publicity to him and his TV show. He's basically doing the same thing as a stand-up comic, although he's not funny. Kick out all the generic, populous stuff you can like: gas prices are terrible. We should just take their oil fields! Kick China out of the US! Start charging everyone for the use of our military! It's all lowbrow discussion, and it's meant to pander to the low-educated voters. However, Nielsen families aren't chopped up by democrat/republican, so he's raising his ratings as he raises awareness of himself.

Dear Zombie Jesus, Please allow this wanker to come back to OR so we can have more fun with him. Hugs and kisses, Cheech

Get some wiring harness connectors online and roll your own. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/MSD-Ignition-8186-Deutsch-Connector/dp/B00063036M or this: http://www.jegs.com/i/MSD/121/8181/10002/-1?CT=999 would do beautifully, depending on how many wire pairs you have going to the bars. Redo the in-bar wiring (using new wire if possible), tape it all in place (so it's not brummin' around in there) and fish it through. Terminate ends, attach connector, then rinse and repeat for the other end. I don't see why not, those were the OEM materials...

I freely admit I'm a member of the "damn, now I need a new oil pan" club. Hope everything works out for you.

what the hell are you talking about?

Just because you choose to have law enforcement roll over your personal liberties doesn't give them the right to roll over mine. As for your questions at the end: No, No, and Absolutely.

Fair enough.

ballpeen hammers also work well for snarky assmunchers

yeah, ballpeen hammers work better on terminals than claw hammers. Make sure you get a hefty weight for when you get into hour 36 and your code still won't compile. Don't worry if you can't lift it out of the store, the adrenaline will take care of that later.

You're not hearing him correctly. Your sunk costs if you do the crate+shipping let's say are $1100. That's $1100 that's lost to the world. You buy bike on Seattle CL for 3K. Ride the piss out of it, then post it back on CL for $3500. Let someone "talk" you down to $3000, or if you were feeling squirrely, $2700. You either break even or lose $300, which is a hell of a lot worse than letting $1100 evaporate on shipping costs. Either way, when you put in the cost of your flight and other expenses, essentially means a free trip to Seattle. You're not going to put anything into this bike, you don't care about the tires, oil, scuffs, stuff like that. Get in, ride, and get out.

Challenge accepted. coupled with... You're putting the experience and "instinct" on a pedestal, legitimate or not. In the very next statement, you say that an officer will use any excuse, real or manufactured. You can come out and say you don't find it acceptable, but your rhetoric seems to indicate otherwise.

I think that's what he was talking about. From the header (I'm assuming he's running factory headers, as I have) there's not a lot of room for the heat tape between the reservoir and the metal.

best I can do is offer you a somewhat stained replacement coolant reservoir. I found algae in mine so I bought another one last year but haven't put it on yet.

Please, now you're backpedaling. I understand you wanting to support your brother and the LEO's he works alongside and represents, but if you're going to do that, then just say so.

Noted, but that doesn't diminish my point.

So just because he's got a badge and a gun, he's damn near infallible, huh? Never mind probable cause for a stop, never mind the guy above OPENLY STATING he pulled people over for no reason at all, fuck all that. As a law abiding citizen, you (I assume you are present or past LEO), fazer, and any other cop on here are ENFORCERS OF THE FUCKING LAW. You do not MAKE the law, you do not CHANGE the law, you UPHOLD it. If the law states that probable cause needs to be had to make a stop to pull over a drunk driver, you either have it or you don't. If you don't, you DON'T. I really, really wish we'd take away the immunity clause for prosecutors and law enforcement for egregious violations of civil liberties. I understand why you do it, you do it because you can, because the worse thing that's going to happen to you is you'll get a talking-to, a class on proper procedure, suspension with pay, stuff like that. God forbid the department or the city tries to make an example out of you, the union would go ballistic and file grievance after grievance until nothing got done. Fuck every bit of that.

I bet it's about the same place as my 600RR. I'll admit, it's not the easiest to see, but it's there.

So you're in favor of breaking the law and unlawfully detaining citizens just because you wanted a better look at their bike? I don't doubt that the responses you've received so far were positive, but that doesn't diminish the fact that you abused your authority and broke the law. Can I motion you over just because I wanted to get a better look at the shotgun I can see between the seats?

I demand lulz!

Oh. Well, in that case...

Sharks aren't the problem, it's the fucking jellyfish. Irukandji and the box jellyfish are all over the NE coast of Australia. The box's you can at least try to avoid due to their size, but you'll never see a irukandji coming until you're stung, then it does this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irukandji_syndrome

Thanks, I've been working out. I'm up to almost 2 burrito bol's in one sitting. I'll start looking for 9 foot chopper BRUMBRUMBRUMmobiles that I can trade this in for.

Depending on your level of confidence with that statement you can contest it in court. If you admitted guilt to the officer he's got it down in the incident notes he wrote with the ticket (that you don't see) and there goes your case. As far as the fine is concerned, call the court and ask for a continuance. You'll get it.
